After the match, Jon Moxley says that odds are not looking too good for The Death Riders at Full Gear, but he does not care what the odds are, and he promises that they will make The Cut ("Switchblade" Jay White, Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin, Clark Connors, David Finlay) earn it. Mercedes Moné then shows up wanting to know where Marina Shafir is and asks if Marina jumped ship after what she did to her on Dynamite. She hopes to embarrass Marina again, and when she does, she wants Moxley to keep "his bitch" Marina on a leash. Moxley says The Death Riders will not take that personally and says that women get flustered when they are around Daniel Garcia, then says there is no excuse for that kind of foul language. He then says that Marina is the last person in The Death Riders he would want to piss off, and says "Good luck with that." Suddenly, "Switchblade" Jay White shows up. The rest of The Cut soon shows up with him and surround the ring, and this leads to a brawl in which The Cut easily outnumbers and overpowers The Death Riders.

Jay White says the fans should not be booing them, then says that they are all going to need a new name. He then says to forget about it, as to get to the top, one needs not only a family, but an outfit, and they are the last outfit. He then says that after Wednesday, nobody will ever forget that his and David Finlay's paths will forever be intertwined, and while he can not trust him, he knows that working together is better than not. Jay White then says that Clark Connors was always cool with him, then tells the fans to get used to seeing a downed Jon Moxley being tended to by "The Problem" Marina Shafir, who he says should lighten up, and that thanks to him, she and Roderick Strong can ride death together.

Alexander states that there is gold in the future of The Don Callis Family and that he will be no exception, and next week on Dynamite, he wants the TNT Championship, demanding that Darby Allin fight him.

Despite Finlay hitting Claudio with a chop block, Claudio blocks the shillelagh shot and fights him and Connors off.

"The Prodigy" Nick Wayne heads to the ring for his victory celebration. It consists of Nick Wayne saying "Nick Wayne beat Chris Jericho" before pyrotechnics go off on the stage.

We then see a video package of Nick Wayne beating Chris Jericho at Grand Slam France, then Jericho says that he has a few friends in the editing bay and that he made a video out of what Nick Wayne conveninently left out: the low blow that he hit before hitting Wayne's World. Nick Wayne says that Jericho is stupid, not clever, to need an excuse as to why he lost, but Jericho says it is reality and that he showed it for two reasons: he used a low blow to beat him, but they are now tied with one win each, and that they will have the rubber match at WrestleDream. Nick Wayne sees this as Jericho wanting to lose to him again and accepts the challenge, on the condition that Jericho come back to the ring and apologize to him for everything he did to him if he loses. Jericho accepts the condition, as he still has some lessons that Nick Wayne needs to learn.

Jericho notes their similar young starts in the business and how Nick Wayne is "an egotistical son of a bitch" like he used to be, then talks about how he was on the same show as Nick Bockwinkel. Bockwinkel noted that Jericho worked too fast and did too many moves, and asks what would have happened if he did not ignore his advice and did not act like an arrogant prick. Nick Wayne says that this is not about a necklace and all about being beaten by Jericho, saying Jericho will not beat him again, as wrestling is all he has ever known and all Jericho has taught him is that he must change who he is to beat him. Nick Wayne then challenges Chris Jericho to a rematch at Grand Slam France in less than two weeks' time, and hopes that the man who knows more wins. This leads to a staredown where Jericho tells Nick Wayne is not a man, but a kid that he will get "the shit kicked out of him" again.

Backstage, we hear from Jon Moxley, who says he can apologize for what he did to Francesco Akira, but that would rob Will Ospreay of his responsibility, which would be unfair to him. He says that Ospreay has chose his side of the line and that everything is Ospreay's responsibility, and that it is all about the two of them. Moxley says that his problem with the match is that he is going to win, and that everything Ospreay did will be for nothing and lead to an even longer fall. He says he does not know if Ospreay has what it takes to do it all again, since Ospreay took everything he had and everything he needed. Moxley says he has been at the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, and he has climbed back up every single day and that nobody understands the cliff Ospreay will fall from at All Out, where he says that Ospreay will be introduced to the pull of gravity.

He says that Borden may be new to this, but Borden will not run away from this, and they will both be going into the fire. Borden admits that he is new to all of this, but he will lay all that he has to offer on the line to ensure Darby is a tag team champion again. If they can do that, he can check off two boxes: being tag team champion and being a champion with Darby. He says they will take the #1 contender stop and the tag team titles.
