She thanks Deonna Purrazzo for giving her the greatest match of her life and the hardest match she has ever fought, and while Deonna wants a rematch, nobody has heard from her since Bound For Glory. She then says that this is okay, because she has seen the competition in Impact Wrestling and knows there are a lot of women who want to tie up with her. Mickie says she welcomes the opportunity and that she is excited about the future. Suddenly, Madison Rayne and Kaleb with a K show up, and Madison welcomes Mickie back to Impact Wrestling, calling her a pillar and cornerstone of the Knockouts Championship alongside Gail Kim and Awesome Kong.

We find out that Tennille Dashwood is on the set of All About Me, and that Madison Rayne is the guest for tonight's show. Tennille says that she allied herself with Madison because she and Kaleb have been looking for a partner, and while it happened a year ago and it did not work out, Tennille thinks it can work out now.

Kaleb, saying he is medically cleared even though he isn't, is wanting a match, and D'Amore puts Kaleb in a match with Jake Something and makes it a no-disqualification match, much to the horror of Kaleb.

Christian Cage heads to the ring. He says it is good to be back in the Impact Zone after nine long years as Impact World Champion, and even though he wrestles for AEW, it was an honor to take the championship from Kenny Omega and bring them back where it belongs. He talks about how he left WWE in 2005 and took a chance on himself, which lead to Impact taking a chance on him and allowing him to up his stock and compete in the main event for championships, which is all he ever wanted. Christian says this is surreal for him, and he thanks the fans, who chant "You deserve it!" He says that talking about history in Impact has made him realize that this is not about his history anymore and that he had some talks with Scott D'Amore, and as much as the TNA World title means to him, he says it is time to retire it. He says that it is about the future, and that the Impact World Championship represents that future, which means a lot for the locker room. He then says the Impact World Championship will be the biggest prize in the company. Christian then says that the TNA World Heavyweight Championship's lineage will be emblazoned in his and Impact's souls forever, then hands the title off and relinquishes it once and for all. As Christian gets down to business, Brian Myers and Sam Beale show up. Beale carries a notebook with "Christian Not My Champ" written on it as Myers states he is the #1 contender and that he has killed it on Impact for the past year. Myers proclaims that the Impact World Championship belongs to him tomorrow night, and Christian tells Myers it took him long enough to get out of Matt Cardona's shadow before mocking him and Beale. Myers proclaims that the Impact World Championship belongs to him tomorrow night, and Christian tells Myers it took him long enough to get out of Matt Cardona's shadow before mocking him and Beale.

Crazzy Steve beats Deaner on the pre-show.

Scott D'Amore is in the ring at the start of tonight's show. D'Amore introduces AEW owner and founder Tony Khan to the ring. Khan shows up, but before the two of them can get down to business, Don Callis arrives. Don Callis says he is not here to cause trouble or stirring things up, then says Tony Khan is about protecting investments before saying that Kenny Omega is a great investment while also addressing Sami Callihan and Moose. Callis says he and Omega are not afraid of Sami Callihan, then says Callihan is on many blacklists around the world for a reason. D'Amore brings up The Good Brothers' ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) attacks on Callihan, but Callis continues, saying that Callihan is a dangerous wrestler. Callis then proposes that only Moose and Kenny Omega should be in the Impact World Championship match at Against All Odds and says there is no reason to put Callihan in the match, then D'Amore and Khan whisper to each other. D'Amore tells Callis that he makes some good points, then tells him that it will be Moose vs. Kenny Omega for the Impact World Championship, then Khan says he understands Callis wants a fair right in a big venue. He says that the match will be in Daily's Place, that Sami Callihan will not be there and that security will ensure that. D'Amore then says that whoever wins the Impact World Championship will defend it against Sami Callihan at Slammiversary, much to Callis' chagrin.

Backstage, The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson), Kenny Omega and Don Callis ignore Gia Miller's attempt at an interview as Callis concocts a hit on Sami Callihan only to get caught by Scott D'Amore.

Backstage, Sami Callihan catches up with Scott D'Amore as he talks about the match he has put The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) in on Saturday. Sami asks who would team him up, and if he has to take them on alone, he will do it. Tommy Dreamer shows up, saying they both have an enemy in Don Callis, and while they will never be friends, he is offering to team with him. Callihan entertains the idea and accepts, saying he will eventually beat him again. Sami leaves, then D'Amore warns Dreamer not to shake things up, as Callis still works in Impact. Dreamer apologizes, but tells D'Amore that Callis is his enemy, too.

Rosemary beats Havok. (Had Havok won, she would have been in the Knockouts Championship match at Against All Odds.)

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, who says he feels great following last week's Iron Man Match, as he has been waiting for an opportunity like that for 16 years and he is a fighting champion who wants the very best. As Alexander says he will watch the five-way match at Against All Odds, "Inevitable" Ace Austin and Madman Fulton show up and tell him that he is the one person in the X Division Championship to worry about. Alexander tells Austin he has beaten him plenty of times, but Austin tells Alexander that his confidence does not waver because he makes his own luck.

"The Canadian Destroyer" Petey Williams and Trey Miguel beat Chris Bey and Rohit Raju. After the match, "Inevitable" Ace Austin and Madman Fulton run into the ring and attack everyone, and Josh Alexander fights Fulton and Austin. The numbers game takes over, but not for long, and everyone in the match fights Fulton and Austin. Everyone then helps Petey Williams hit Madman Fulton with an avalanche Canadian Destroyer from the top rope.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Willie Mack. Willie says W. Morrissey got the best of him at Under Siege, but tonight is a new day and a no-disqualification and he will take a piece of Morrissey with him if he has to. Rich Swann asks Willie Mack to save a piece for him and says he will be in his corner to get a piece too, but Willie asks him to keep tonight's match one-on-one, for tonight is his moment.

It's time for another edition of All About Me with Tenille Dashwood. Tonight's interviewer is Kaleb, and Jordynne Grace and Rachael Ellering are special guests. Kaleb shows off his and Tenille's new T-shirt. Rachael asks why she is here, but Tenille is more concerned about why Jordynne is here, and Rachael and Jordynne both feel disrespected, and Jordynne asks Tenille if she wants to face her Saturday before she is going to Scott D'Amore to make the match. Jordynne and Rachael leave, then the segment ends.

We hear from Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner, Rhino). Eric Young says the odds have been stacked against them since day one, but they are tag team champions. Eric Young says he has faith in Deaner, and tells him to help defend the tag titles at Against All Odds.

We hear from Tony Schiavone and Tony Khan in another paid ad. Khan says he cares for the fans to make AEW what to watch on Wednesday, and says he, Matt Hardy, Jerry Lynn and Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) were all in the zone and that Private Party are in line for the Impact World Tag Team Champonships.

Kiera and Tasha brag about being Knockouts Tag Team Champions, with Tasha saying they would reach the top and that they did it. The festival - which referee Brandon Tolle calls "a dumpster fire" - leaves a bit to be desired, as the catering is just meals in plastic trays. John E. Bravo notices that the cheese is still in the wrapper, then champagne is handed out. Alisha drinks the champagne only to spit it out, then Kiera and Tasha notice a man dressed in a cheap Marshmallow Man costume. Tasha thinks this is Fallah Bahh, but this person unmasks only to reveal she is Nevaeh. Havok then gets in the ring and clotheslines Kiera.
