He says that "The Jet" Kevin Knight has changed and hopes that Knight enjoys being at the top, because the foundation of his success will not last and that The Don Callis Family is not family. He says that from now until Wembley Stadium, he will ensure that he beats the best Kevin Knight possible at All In, and after that, when Knight looks at himself in the mirror, he will not recognize who he sees, as he will beat him with in an inch of his life.

Hangman says that he is a gardener and lives on "an acre-and-a-half in Greensboro" now, and mentions the flowers as well as the creatures in his garden as well as how therapeutic it is to plant a seed and tend to plants. He says he has been gone for four months, and when he was not in rehab, he was planting, and when All Elite Wrestling decided to come to Roanoke, Virginia, it was important to be here, as he wanted to plant one more seed. Hangman admits he does not know what this will bloom into or if it will grow at all, then mentions losing any chance at challenging for the AEW World Championship when he lost to MJF. He thinks about what could have gone wrong before admitting that he lost, and says that he is a man of his word as the stipulation lives in him and not in ink in a document in a file cabinet somewhere, and says he will never challenge for the AEW World Championship again. Hangman then talks about Kenny Omega winning the title, saying it was important to him as well as his message to never quite and always run the race afterwards. Hangman says there are miles and miles of track in front of him, and mentions the TNT Championship, the National Championship, the Continental Championship, and the International Championship. Hangman then asks who he is without the World Championship after seven years of chasing it, and while he does not know, everyone is going to find out. He then says that tonight, he can hear his words, truer now than ever before, and that he is going to have to find something else to do...and he will.

As Sydal tells Lethal that joining The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) would be a mistake, The Demand shows up, and Ricochet says that Sydal has fallen off while he has moved on and gotten better. When Ricochet asks Sydal if he has anything else to get off his chest, Sydal says "Yeah...you're bald!" and runs off.

We hear from The Don Callis Family ("The Machine" Brian Cage, Trent Beretta, Mark Davis, Lance Archer) backstage. Mark Davis introduces "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, who says it feels right to be champion again and put Konosuke Takeshita in the rear view mirror. He says that Takeshita knows where to find him for a rematch, then addresses "Hangman" Adam Page mentioning The Don Callis Family's championship gold. Fletcher says that he lost the TNT title because of The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz, Dezmond Xavier, Myron Reed), and says that because of this, "The Machine" Brian Cage has a match with Zachary Wentz tonight.

Willow talks about her shoulder injury from two months ago that forced her to relinquish the TBS Championship and drop out of the Women's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, and congratulates Hikaru Shida and Mercedes Moné for stepping up and succeeding. She admits that being sidelined during Double or Nothing broke her heart, but she did not defend the TBS Championship ten times just to let her Wembley Aren adreams die just because her shoulder could not hold the weight of the world. Willow says that she was trying to come back better, and when the recent Casino Gauntlet Match from Wednesday was announced, that was her cue to come back, and now she has one more shot at glory. She then says that "The Toxic Spider" Thekla made a mistake when she attacked her, then says that the worst day of her career will not define the rest of it and that nothing will stop her from beating Thekla and becoming Women's World Champion. Willow then warns Mercedes that she will be the one she will be facing at All In.



We see more footage from Brawl in the Ballpark, then we hear from Skye Blue. She says that Julia Hart made Brawl in the Ballpark her battlefield and that Willow Nightingale will hear from "The Toxic Spider" Thekla soon.

Backstage, we hear from The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross), who say that they have become disgusted by the women's tag team division and that Julia Hart and Skye Blue are "desperate little things" who are like dirt beneath their mountain and will never hold the women's tag titles.

Backstage, we hear from "The Toxic Spider" Thekla, who says that everyone else who is not Triangle of Madness (Thekla, Julia Hart, Skye Blue) is an enemy. She tells Mercedes Mone that she does not trust presidents or CEOs, and says that Willow Nightingale got injured on purpose to skip the line and face her. She then says that Willow has never been a Woman's World Champion because she pretends to be a baby while she is "a real woman," and tells Willow to keep being positive, as "the only thing funnier than a dumb bitch is a happy one."

We hear from The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin), who have teamed up with Angels of Assisi pet adoption center in Roanoke, Virginia to give two dogs (ironically named "Finlay" and "Clark") loving homes while mocking The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay).

"The Machine" Brian Cage beats Zachary Wentz. After the match, Trent Beretta says he challenged Darby Allin to a match and that he is here and ready to fight, yet Darby is not even in the state, then demands that the referee get in the ring and raise his hand so he can get a win.

He then says it is up to Darby to humble MJF, and if he can beat MJF, he knows Darby can, and after Darby beats MJF and shaves him bald, he and Speedball will be waiting for him as champion. Knight tells Darby not to let the fans down, for they are counting on him.

Mariah calls Toni a joke and a meme that the fans laugh at before forgetting about her, just like she knew they would, and admits she does not and has never cared about Toni, who she calls "the easiest, dumbest pawn" that she used to dominate the game, and if she has to remind her again at Grand Slam Australia, so be it, because as good as she feels right now, she will get off humiliating her in her hometown. Toni says that she is Mariah's biggest fan and that she has seen everything Mariah has done, and calls her "amazing" and "an inspiration," and says that one day, she wants to be just like her. Toni then hugs Mariah, who then slaps her. Mariah tells Schiavone to get out of the ring before hitting Toni with the Women's World Championship while two referees and two security guards tell her to stop.

Toni suddenly says that she has not forgotten, then removes hasks Mariah what makes her think that their dance is done. She says that she will feel every scar and drop of blood forever, but now, it is her moment in the sun. Toni says the hardest role one will ever play is one self as she strips down to her "Timeless" gimmick, and that the fans have witnessed the performance of a lifetime. She says Mariah may be "the woman from Hell," but she came from her womb, and she will shove her back up there and spit her out, for she is "Timeless" Toni Storm and she is going to "rip [her] tits off."
