Action Andretti says Top Flight have been ducking them but now want a match, and Lio Rush says they have beaten them before and that tonight will be no different. They then find "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne, who says he is "too valuable" to help them out. When Action Andretti says Nick Wayne needs Christian Cage's permission, Wayne changes his mind and says he is going after AR Fox for himself.

Caster talks about how he had to drive through a tornado and gale force winds to be here tonight, and when he does the chant this time, a few of the fans follow along.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "Switchblade" Jay White. Switchblade congratulates Kevin Knight on his new opportunity and says he only gets it because he is injured, then says Will Ospreay gets to avoid him yet again as he claims to be on another level and says Ospreay's words will catch up to him. He says that all of this is due to The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Marina Shafir), who wants to make things personal, and that all they have done is given him time to plan and prepare.

Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) beat Cru (Lio Rush and Action Andretti) with a crucifix pin from Dante to Andretti. After the match, Cru go on the attack, and when AR Fox makes the save, "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne shows up and hits AR Fox with Wayne's World.

Adam Cole says that he will have been wrestling for seventeen years at Dynasty. Garcia says he did not have to give him another shot, but he wanted to, then says this is the last chance Adam Cole will get. He then says that the last seventeen years belong to Cole, but the next seventeen belong to him. Everyone else then leaves the room at Garcia and Cole's request. Cole says that he respects Garcia, but Garcia is not ready to run a promotion and be a true champion yet, and if Garcia cannot get that, then he will have to beat him on Sunday. Both men then have a staredown, then Garcia knocks on the table and leaves.

PAC beats Cash Wheeler with a crucifix pin after hitting Wheeler with the ring bell hammer after Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta show up and Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler even the numbers game. Afterwards, Wheeler and Copeland help Harwood up.
