We see footage from before the show earlier tonight where Steve Maclin interrupts the Canadian national anthem and declares himself the next IMPACT Wrestling World Championship and that IMPACT Wrestling is his now.

Rosemary tells Havok that the dark forces that kidnapped Taya Valkyrie would have been lying in wait for them if they went after them, then tries to go into the Undead Realm alone. When Rosemary opens the coffin, she finds out that their way to the Undead Realm is being blocked, and Havok says that The Coven (Taylor Wilde and KiLynn King) is responsible for this and that she will take care of Taylor Wilde tonight. Rosemary then says that she will need more time to plan.

Backstage, we hear from Eddie and Alisha Edwards. Alisha admits she was the harshest towards Eddie recently, and she was excited when Eddie put the past behind him only to find out that PCO was holding him back. As a result, she intervened. Eddie says that PCO keeps coming back and that it must come to an end, and it will come to an end at Rebellion.

Before the next match, Joe Hendry says that the tandem of him and Dirty Dango is so inspiring that it will make everyone say "We believe," which Dango gets right this time.

He says he cannot think of anyone different that he would put on his team, and that his team is the team Tommy Dreamer should be worried about and losing sleep over every night. Bully then says that if Dreamer thought Sacrifice, what his team will do at Rebellion will be worse. He asks Dreamer why he buries himself and brings other people into this, and tells him that screwing with him will not get him anywhere. He also tells Dreamer that he wishes he was as united as Team Bully and that his team will win Hardcore War.

We hear from Mickie James, who is alone in a now-darkened arena. She says that she did not how to mention what she is about to mention in front of friends and family, and says that "The Last Rodeo" was her way of proving she could still hang and be champion. She says that she could not do this without the fans. Jordynne Grace and Deonna Purrazzo watch from backstage as Mickie James says there is always someone better waiting to knock one off their perch, and while it would have been an honor to be defeated, the one thing she cannot handle is time. Mickie admits she feels twenty years old again whenever she is in the ring, but when she goes backstage, time and age catches up to her and she can feel it. She says that with Rebellion around her corner and with her injury, she must do what is right for the locker room.
