Willie Mack shows up to start tonight's show. He calls Ace Austin and Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Luster The Legend) cowards for what they did to Rich Swann, and dares them to do it to him. Willie Mack then calls out Ace Austin, telling him to get in the ring. Reno Scum shows up, but Willie Mack is okay with fighting them both at once.

At the treehouse, Zachary Wentz and Dezmond Xavier talk about The North vs. Tessa Blanchard and Eddie Edwards. Dezmond says it will be tough to watch due to The Deaners (Cody Deaner and Cousin Jake) coming to hang out, while Wentz says he invited TJP and Fallah Bahh. After Trey Miguel mentions that he invited Triple XL (Larry D and Acey Romero), The Deaners show up with some beer, then TJP and Fallah Bahh show up with some food that nobody is interested in. This is before Triple XL show up, who help themselves before sitting next to Trey, who has to make some for them as he leaves. Wentz leaves along with Trey, awkwardly leaving Dezmond alone with everyone else.

Havok beats Madison Rayne.

Backstage, Tessa Blanchard meets with Eddie Edwards, saying she doesn't need his help and that she wants to fight her battle alone. Eddie says he could have left her alone, but he has been in her situation and that sometimes, when someone reaches their hand out, you have to take it. He is offering his hand so that she can be a World and Tag Team Champion, and the choice of whether or not to take it is up to her.

Backstage, Jimmy Jacobs interviews Ken Shamrock. Shamrock says that the heat from Sami Callihan's fireball penetrated his eyes and did some damage to the retina, and he had to put drops in his eyes with antibiotics in them for weeks to prevent them from being infected. He admits it was scary for a while, and that he was afraid he would not get his sight back for a week. Shamrock says that Callihan has no respect for anyone trying to make a living in the ring, and while he wants to win, he will not do it at the expense of others. He says that Callihan will do that at someone's expense, and that he does not care if his opponent can put food on their table. He says that he is trying to maintain his composure so that his match with Callihan can happen, as there is a "no touch" clause. As the interview is about to wrap up, the broadcast and lights are hacked, and Shamrock leaves the room to go after Callihan.

Tommy Dreamer and Rhino beat oVe (Jake and Dave Crist). After the match, Madman Fulton - who was ejected from ringside for grabbing Dreamer form behind - runs in and boots Rhino out of the ring before flattening Dreamer.

Elgin tells The North to channel that anger in the ring.

She says that she has unfinished business with Ace Austin and Taya Valkryie and wants to finish it. Tessa says she is challenging both Eddie Edwards and Michael Elgin because she is tenacious and a threat and because both men want the title. She says that she will prove she is the best when she takes on two of the best in the world and retains the World title at Rebellion.

Before the next match, Joey Ryan - now wearing a turtleneck and khaki shorts and calling himself "Joey P. Ryan" - says that he, Katie Forbes and Rob Van Dam has extraordinary gifts: talent, a derriere and a manhood, respectively. He then says that the fans have lost the privilege of their gifts due to their inability to treat them with respect, and that the fans will never see another dick flip again. RVD says that all the fans are hypocrites, and says that their opponents are drinking beer already as he asks what kind of professional will get in the ring with someone who is drunk. Joey P. Ryan then states that he, Katie and RVD are now known as "#CancelCulture," and that The Deaners (Cody Deaner and Cousin Jake) are getting cancelled.

Suddenly, Madison Rayne shows up and takes offense to Jordynne taking her idea of issuing opening challenges, but says that Jordynne should be a fighting champion, as there are so much young, hungry talent waiting to dethrone her. She says that some of them need a locker room leader, then says that she is not challenging her. However, she will make sure Jordynne has a suitable opponent tonight.

In footage from Saturday, Rohit Raju says that his actions were all about making sure The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier, Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz) did not win the tag team titles, as he feels that they keep getting title shots that The Desi Hit Squad (Raju, Mahabali Shera). He says that The Desi Hit Squad now refuses to wait for opportunity and will now take what they want to become the tag team champions.

Suddenly, Moose shows up and says TNA should stay in the past and that the attention should be on him. Petey tells Moose that he would not be here if it wasn't for the efforts of wrestlers like him, but Moose says he can be a star in any era just like he is now.

Backstage, Willie Mack meets with Rich Swann concerning their tag team title match at Hard To Kill, feeling that he may not be ready for the match and that they may be better off going their separate ways with Rich Swann's career taking off, so he does not get in the way as Swann reaches his full potential. Swann reminds Willie that he called him up because he knew he would get him to where he needed to be, and tells Willie not to sell himself short or thinking he is dragging him down, because when they are a team, they get the job done. Swann says he knows Willie is banged up, but he needs him on Sunday to become tag team champions, for there is no stopping them. Both men shake hands and hug.

We hear from oVe (Sami Callihan, Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Madman Fulton). Jake Crist tells Sami Callihan that Sunday night will be special for them, but Dave says it could have been a special night if it were not for him, and says that Sunday is bigger than all of them.

Rob Van Dam and Katie Forbes show up. After Katie introduces RVD, RVD says he does not know what he did to get so much attention recently, but he will take it while he has it, as wrestling fans have short attention spans. He says that while all fans are on him and Katie, he will be taking a stand and claiming the long-overdue credit for inspiring every wrestler in the ring tonight and giving them their entire movesets. He then says that by "giving them their entire movesets," he means "being ripped off by them," then says his match with "The Machine" Brian Cage is being referred to as a dream match, as Cage is "the biggest RVD mark of them all."

Backstage, Madison Rayne and Kiera Hogan are met by Taya Valkyrie, and Madison and Kiera make it clear they want no part of her.

Taya says one of them will get a title opportunity at first, but soon changes her mind to make it both of them. Kiera says they will think about it.

Sami Callihan shows up. Sami says he is here to expose Tessa Blanchard for exactly what she is: a fake and a phony, just like all the fans in the building tonight and watching at home. He says that everyone wants equality and says the World title match will be history, but it is just another match that people are making all about gender and that he will beat Tessa like he would any other male wrestler, as it is just pro wrestling to him. He then says Tessa Blanchard has had everything handed to her due to her family pedigree in a generation of entitled wrestlers, while he had to scratch and claw for everything to get to where he is now. He also says that he did everything on his own and that he never needed a famous father to get him a try-out for a company. Suddenly, Tessa Blanchard shows up, but she is attacked from behind by Madman Fulton. Sami and Fulton gang up on Tessa, but Ken Shamrock gets in the ring and brawls with Fulton. This leads to a two-on-two brawl, with Sami and Tessa taking their brawl to the back.
