Petey Williams - dressed up like Scott Steiner - shows up and provides some Steiner Math (or in this case, either Alexander Math or Maple Leaf Math), much to the surprise of everyone at Swinger's Palace. Alexander says he is not worried about the odds as he leaves, then Johnny Swinger proclaims that he is going to be "The Million Dollar Swing Man."
Eddie Edwards and Willie Mack are in the ring. Eddie says they have been friends for a long time, but they have been in the wrestling business for a long time, and while they lost at Hardcore Justice, they are not focused on that. Eddie says they are here because Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner, Rhino) thought it was a good idea to lay out Tommy Dreamer and that they are here to make this right, for when you mess with Dreamer, you messing with them and the Impact family. He says they are looking for a fight, not a rematch, and tells Violent By Design to come to the ring and take an ass whupping like a man. Violent By Design show up, and Eric Young admits that he approved of what happened to Tommy Dreamer, then says he is not a liar and told him he would take the World title from and did, then says he and his men had nothing to do with it. Nevertheless, Eddie wants a fight, and tells them to get in the ring.

She says that Impact Wrestling kickstarted women's wrestling, but she spread it with her influence, then says that Deonna Purrazzo has never beat her and that she will win because of this.
Jazz heads to the ring with Jordynne Grace for her retirement ceremony. Jazz says that she came to Impact hoping that she would have one more title run, but that did not happen at Hardcore Justice. She says that going into Hardcore Justice, she knew Deonna Purrazzo would give her a run for her money, but she felt she had one more run. She says that she felt that fire that she had fifteen years ago, but Deonna, being the true champion that she is, is the present and the future of women's wrestling. Jazz says that when Jordynne Grace gave her the call and asked her to tag with her, she knew they would end up victorious, and while they had a few wins, she had the Knockouts tag titles on their minds. She thanks Jordynne for considering her as a tag team partner and tells her that her future is bright, and thanks her and the Impact family for welcoming her with open arms, saying the last few months made for a great farewell. Suddenly, Fire 'n Flava (Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz) show up. Hogan says it is about time that Jazz left, as Jazz could win when it counted, and Tasha says it was about time Jazz went to the retirement home. As they mock Jazz, Jordynne tells Fire 'n Flava that they were not invited because they talk too much and tells them to shut up for once in their lives or at least say what they want to say in the ring. A referee shows up and tells Fire 'n Flava that they have a match, and they find out that the match is against Jazz and Jordynne Grace.
Jazz and Jordynne Grace beat Fire 'n Flava (Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz). After the match, Jazz says that it is time that she fully says that this is it, and announces her retirement.

The Impact locker room surrounds the ring to show support for Jazz one more time.

Sami Callihan beats Matt Cardona after thumbing Cardona in the eye. After the match, Sami Callihan mocks Matt Cardona, making a reference to his old Zack Ryder persona, before saying he is moving on to bigger and better things and calling out Trey Miguel. Trey shows up, and Sami says he is proud of Trey for taking an opportunity, being in the main event where he belonged, and showing passion. Trey says he did not do this to validate him and that he was doing the right thing, but Sami asks him if he felt good feeling that rage and says that his temper is true power is channeled the right way. He says he can channel that rage and bring him to the next level, and all he has to do is shake his hand and they can take over everything, but Trey refuses. Sami tells Trey to show some gratitude, saying he would not be on Hardcore Justice because of him, and admits that he was the one who laid out Tommy Dreamer and not Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner, Rhino). When Sami demands that Trey shake his hand in one final offer, Trey fights Sami only to get kicked in the groin, and Sami lays him out with a powerful clothesline. When Trey refuses to stay down, Sami hits him with a chair, throws it into the ring where it lands on Trey, then slams Trey into the chair with a vertical suplex, bending it.
We hear from Juice Robinson and David Finlay, and says that they like to see The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) squirm and say The Good Brothers need to know who dangerous they are.

We see the press conference for the match between Rich Swann and Kenny Omega for the AEW and Impact World Championships at Rebellion. Kenny Omega is absent during the press conference. Rich Swann says he has battled with adversity his whole life, and while Omega is the best in the world, if he wins both titles, it will be a very historical night. Tony Khan says he believes Kenny Omega will win the match, and that he hopes that whoever wins the match will be able to make all commitments for both Impact Wrestling and All Elite Wrestling. Scott D'Amore says that all the preparations have been made, and that what Tony Khan has laid out is a testament to both companies and puts fans first. He also says that both sides will make sure that there is a definite winner to the match. Before a third question can be asked, Kenny Omega and Don Callis show up late. Don Callis says Omega is a great champion and that he advocated for Swann to be in Impact Wrestling and in the main event. He also says that Swann knows that Omega is family to him, and says that Omega is the greatest living athlete and wrestler in the business, saying all other legends are insects compared to him. Omega says this a press conference like this is not new to him as he has done this so many times before to the point that it is natural and that he takes what he does seriously and means what he says. He says that Swann is nervous and a little scared after not having to carry this responsibility before, then tells Swann - who confronts Omega - that he was put on the planet to make a change. He then says that while Swann loves wrestling and will try his hardest, he does not belong in this history making event and is just a means to an end, and when everyone looks back at the match, he will not be remembered. Omega then says that he hopes Swann brings his A-game, as he will be part of history, then says this will be the last time he is cordial with Swann. When he offers to shake Swann's hand, he slaps Swann instead, and security swiftly steps in.

Fulton gives himself a round of applause when he made himself a full-circle career moment at Sacrifice and beat TJP to become a two-time X Division Champion. He says that he knows what is like to be champion, and as soon as the championship is around his waist, the challengers are already lining up and wanting to be first in line to face him. Austin says everyone is hung up on the past, but he is not, and he calls the shots. He says that TJP will not walk all over him like he did when he arrived in Impact, and says that this rematch tonight will be his last and he will still be X Division Champion.
Backstage, Don Callis is met by Sami Callihan as he heads into the arena. Callihan says he is very rarely wrong about people, yet everyone thinks he is the bad guy.

Callihan says Callis is more worried about himself, but Callihan says that everything has been going great for him before wishing him well.

Cardona says that always being ready is not just a catchphrase, and that being on top and always ready makes everything that much sweeter.

He says it is time for Myers to put up or shut up, and challenges him to a match. He also says that after that match, they are done regardless of who wins or loses.
Backstage, XXXL (Acey Romero and Larry D) confront Trey Miguel as he goes off and throws things around. Tommy Dreamer shows up and challenges them to a Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match as a joke, then tells him to go to Scott D'Amore to face Acey Romero tonight.

He mentions his conversation with Rich Swann in the ring last week, and says that the one thing Swann cannot get out of his head is the One-Winged Angel. Callis says that Swann can prepare all he wants, but Omega just has to hit that move once, as nobody has ever kicked out of it. Omega says he gave Swann a taste of things to come, then he and Callis agree that he needs more championship gold. Callis says he is willing to do anything to suck every drop of blood out of the company if it helps Kenny Omega, then debuts a vignette that pays tribute to the One-Winged Angel. After the vignette, Omega says that everyone started walking on eggshells when he arrived, and that the only reason he is here is for the Impact World Championship. He says that while Rich Swann wants to be part of history like him, he will become a footstep in history when he wins the Impact World Championship, and says that while his debut was the greatest day in Impact history, for him, it was Tuesday. He then says that it will become evident that Impact has nobody who can even compete with him, and that he will lose the Impact World Championship when he is dead. He says that he will beat Swann for the title, for it is history. Omega then tells everyone to get ready for the show, and Callis says that they will make history at Rebellion.

He says that all he has to prepare for is the One-Winged Angel and asks Omega how he will prepare for all the situations he got the best of him as he says that he will come out on top.
Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "The Cowboy" James Storm and Chris Sabin.

Suddenly, Scott D'Amore shows up and makes Storm vs. Young the main event for next week.

We hear from Chris Sabin and "The Cowboy" James Storm. Sabin tells Rohit Raju and Mahabali Shera that he will not get angry and that he will give them a calm, stern warning that they made a big mistake attacking them, for they are Impact Wrestling tag team royalty, and when they have their match, they will kick their ass. Storm says Sabin is the yin to his yang and that while Sabin is calmly going to tell Rohit and Shera what they will do to them, he will show them exactly what they will do and says that he is the kind of guy whom the devil curses his continued existence every time he wakes up in the morning.

Shera says he remembers every slap Storm ever came him, and says that he will break Storm limb from limb. Rohit says they have a statement to make, for Storm and Sabin are on the marquees and the highlight reels, and they are taking and smashing everything for Storm and Sabin represent the glory they want. He says that in the future, everyone will talk about how he and Shera laid waste to Sabin and Storm as they teach them a lesson tonight.
We hear from Ace Austin and Madman Fulton. Fulton says there has always been a plan and a direction, and that TJP has the unfortunate task of stepping into the ring with someone twice his size, and step one is to hurt TJP.

He says that TJP may have stopped his undefeated streak, but things have changed, and everything will come full circle.
We hear from TJP, who says that it may seem like he does not care - and he does not - and that he is not afraid of Madman Fulton because of what he has already done and Fulton will never done.

We hear from Sami Callihan, who says that Trey Miguel should have just listened to him, as he gave him every opportunity to walk away and quit, but Trey stuck around just a little bit longer. He then says that he has to make an example out of Trey and everyone he cares about, which is why he went to his wrestling school last week. He says he did mean for things to get messy, and says he just wanted to talk to him like a man, but his hands were tied and Trey sealed their fates. He then says he found someone with potential and passion while he was there, and says that one cannot teach passion.
