Jake tells Skyler he got lucky, then challenges him to a match so they can see if he gets lucky again.

Steve Maclin takes the microphone, but is booed and told he sucks by the crowd briefly.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Eddie Edwards, but Sami Callihan interrupts Eddie. Eddie says Sami helped him once, and that he helped him. He then says that Sami does not help to him and that they are done.

She thanks the fans of the Impact Zone for putting Deonna Purrazzo and the Impact Knockouts Championship on the map before Deonna goes one-on-one with Melina, which Mickie says will be a great match. We then see a video package for Melina vs. Deonna Purrazzo at NWA Empowerrr, then Deonna shows up with Matthew Rehwoldt. Deonna asks Mickie James how it feels to have her spotlight stolen from here, then gets serious and says she knows Mickie is creating buzz for NWA Empowerrr, the history it will make and what she will be a part of. She then says that Mickie James is being dishonest with herself by thinking her match with Melina will be competitive, saying that nobody likes to see a movie when they already know the ending and that Mickie conveniently left out her beating Melina at Emergence. Mickie then says she say Rehwoldt beating Melina, not Deonna, then says the difference between Emergence and Empowerrr is that Rehwoldt will not be there before asking Deonna how confident she is about being in the ring with Melina. Deonna says that everyone will see Saturday, then says nobody has to wait until Saturday to see her kick Mickie's ass.

Christian then says that Ace Austin will not beat him for the Impact World Championship, then Tommy Dreamer shows up. Dreamer says that for the longest time, he was against the Kenny Omega-Don Callis relationship and did things that compromised his integrity, but at the same time, he did it for everyone in the back. He then says that if there is one person who does it for the business, it is Christian Cage, and that for seven years, Christian Cage went elsewhere and left Impact without a proper goodbye. Dreamer says that Christian has found the fountain of youth and has done well since being in Impact Wrestling, saying he has done it for the business and the fans before thanking Christian for everything he has done and for representing Impact like a true champion. Dreamer then says that he has not earned it, but one day, he would like to wrestle Christian one more time, and until then, he will outwork everyone like Christian has. Suddenly, Ace Austin and Madman Fulton show up. Ace Austin says he knows that Christian knows him through his reputation that precedes him, then properly introduces himself before stating that he will make the history he was always meant to make at Victory Road when he becomes a world champ at 24. He then says he is a credible threat - unlike Dreamer, whom he says will never win the world title again - and says that while Christian has been travelling the world, Christian's schedule and luggage will get lighter when he meets "the inevitable." Christian Cage tells Ace Austin to set his goals high, then says he will be the guy, but never the man, as long as he is around. After Christian mocks Austin for his height, Fulton and Austin strike only for Christian and Dreamer to clean house.



We hear from Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner, Rhino) . Eric Young says that weakness can teach things, even if it a direct symptom of the sickness. He blames Rhino for the loss of the tag team titles and the rematch, and says he cannot allow Rhino to drag them down any further.

He says that Fallah Bahh is his partner, not Petey Williams, but Petey shows up and wants to know what is going on.

TJP agrees to this.

Chelsea then proposes a tag team match between the teams of her and Cardona and the team of Rohit and Shera, and when Cardona asks her if she is up to it, Chelsea says she is always ready.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Tasha Steelz and Savannah Evans. Tasha blames Fallah Bahh for their loss at Emergence, and cost them their only opportunity to be Knockouts Tag Team Champions.
