She says that she did this all of her own after being overlooked, underestimated and looked past in favor of Sol Ruca, but now, she holds a title, and the power is in her hands. She calls this a course correction, not a dream come true, that she owes nothing to anybody. Zaria then promises that her name will not be in the shadows ever again before Kelani Jordan shows up and congratulates Zaria. Kelani then gives Zaria some advice: enjoy all of this, as the people who chant that she deserves this will switch it up on her before the week is even over, and no matter what she does, it will never be good enough. She tells Zaria to hold on to the Women's North American Championship as tightly as possible, as she may never hold another title again. As Kelani talks about how she only needs one shot to beat Lola Vice and become NXT Women's Champion, Kendal Grey shows up.

Bayley heads to the ring. She says that one does not know what they have until it is gone, and that when she steps into the ring, she knows what she has and what it feels like to be in it, because every time she gets an opportunity to be in front of the fans, she revels in it. She says that this is what she puts her heart and soul into every single night, and two months ago, she was stripped of a WrestleMania match and robbed of an opportunity to go after the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships. She says she does not come in day in and day out putting her body on the line for just one night; she does it every night for the fans. Bayley calls out Becky Lynch, telling her that her attack on her only made her stronger, and while Becky Lynch being two steps ahead of her ate at her, she is climbing the ladder and she is knocking Becky down and taking back what she took from her.

Becky says it will be the last time, then says that Bayley accepts being second fiddle "much like the Packers" and she does not. Becky says that Bayley would rather have a couple of fake friends than a legacy while she is the opposite, but Bayley says she built her own legacy and is so comfortable with it that she does not bringing the locker room with her. Becky says she fought for the people, but the people stopped fighting for her, and that they stopped fighting for Bayley ever since she took her out of WrestleMania and nobody gave a damn about Bayley while they cheered for her. Bayley says that Becky sounds like an idiot and cares too much about what the fans think of her to the point that she took a whole year off and still had to take her out and then took out Lyra Valkyria when she got concerned about the fans booing her. Becky tells Bayley that the fans cheered for that, too. Bayley then asks Becky if she remembers having to fight for opportunities or if her head is so far up her own ass that she does not even remember anymore.

Sami says that if he is crazy, then Karrion is a coward, as he talks big but cannot back it up while he has picked himself back up when he has failed. He says that King of the Ring is his priority, and that after this is finished, they will finally have their match once and for all. Karrion smiles and proclaims "It's about time," then leaves.

He says that he was only here to get The Bloodline to the promised line and that Jey is meant to keep him there, and that they have been grooming him for three years, hence why he is the right-hand man, because he is meant to lead, albeit not yet. Roman then says that the problem is his brother Jimmy Uso, but soon, Jimmy Uso shows up and says the problem is Roman Reigns. He says Roman is supposed to be a leader and that he is using Jey, not grooming him. Jimmy asks Jey if he actually believes what he is hearing and if he is willing to choose Roman over him, but Roman says it took ten years to get The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) to WrestleMania and that they have main evented since, and that Jey is the answer and he is the wings.

He says that both he and Eric Young owe so much to the company, and if Eric Young does not care about Impact's history, he does, and he knows no better way to celebrate than kicking Eric Young's ass. He signs the contract. Eric Young says Alexander is lying to himself and the fans, as he is a thousand times better than the fans will ever be, then says the fans' opinion does not matter and that he will open Alexander's eyes to the fact that he rides the line between chaos and order. After saying that chaos can be beautiful and that he will open Alexander's eyes to the truth, he signs the contract, then dismisses Scott D'Amore to talk to Alexander "alone," but Alexander knows what is going on. Eric Young accuses Alexander of being scared, but Alexander says he is coming into Slammiversary with the company and its history on its back, then mentions the Eric Young that used to be a fan favorite that he and everyone got behind.

He says losing the tag team titles has only compounded those feelings, and while he has come to a decision, someone is missing in this conversation: Tyler Bate.

Austin Aries says Rich Swann may be a newcomer to Impact, but he is not a newcomer to him, as many years back, a young Rich Swann got in the ring with him in New York City and they tore the roof down. Now Rich is not that kid anymore, and the smile and exuberance he once had is gone, because much like himself, he has had people make assumptions about him and had public perception cost him his career and his life. When he heard he was coming to Impact, he could not have been happier, as this is the place where people have become miscasts and misfits who have been counted out and bet against redeem themselves and prove they are what they know they are. Now that Swann is in Impact, he sees that the smile and exuberance has returned, which is why it will hurt him so much when he has to crush it, as he cannot and will not let him take the Impact Wrestling World Champion. He says it will be just a bump in the road, but a painful bump nevertheless.

The Bucks leave, then Cody announces that he is running for Senate in the great state of Texas in 2020, and today, he wants to talk about safety. Instead of talking about it, his campaign manager and "the future First Lady of Texas" Brandi Rhodes will. Brandi says the last time she and Cody was here, a man was nearly burned alive and that man was "Almighty" Christopher Daniels. She announces that in the interests of their campaign, the focus is and always has been safety, and in the interest of keeping up with the campaign, the match scheduled between Cody and Shane Taylor for later tonight is cancelled under her authority as campaign manager. Suddenly, Shane Taylor shows up and says he has been around hustlers throughout his life, and that if Cody is convinced he will cancel their match for his safety, then he is mistaken, as there was a time he would not get out of bed for anything less than "a .12 gauge to the dome" as he has hurt more people outside of the ring than he can remember and buried more bodies than he can forget, and he has tried to put all of that behind him to be a Ring of Honor superstar. He says that he is now the guy that gangsters from Cleveland, Ohio to Houston, Texas do not even want to talk about. Brandi questions Shane Taylor's Texas gangster credentials before saying "Thank God we moved the hell outta here, as clearly the class level has suffered substantially."

Bully Ray then takes the microphone and tells Gordon that if he wasn't so concerned about being "all in," he would have won his match tonight and he would have seen him coming. He tells Gordon to be concerned about him, as he is a young booy and a nobody in the business while he is a 25-time world tag team champion, a two-time Hall of Famer and one of the best wrestlers to ever step foot in the ring. At Best In The World, he plans to beat Gordon up, blow him up, outshoot him and outshine him in the middle of the ring as he outwrestles him.

He says the people in Dallas should be proud, and says that the arena down the road also has a ring of honor, with the only difference being that ROH is not full of "scumbags, reprobates, drug addicts and criminals" much like the people of Dallas. "Almighty" Christopher Daniels says that because Dallas is "a vomit buffet" and "a feces cornucopia," they are here to inspire the people of Dallas to be more like them and less like themselves, but until that happens, they have permission to worship them now.
