Copeland says he could care less about that and that their friendship is more important than anything else, and yet Christian could not get past his own ego. He says that Christian was about to Con-Chair-To Sting the night he showed up, and last Wednesday, Christian almost hit a Con-Chair-To on Shayna Wayne. He also mentions Christian mentioning Beth Phoenix as well as his two children and reminds Christian that he has a short fuse, and that he would not let Christian light it until Christian made it clear that he would break his neck. Copeland then says that Christian is not only threatening him and his furutre, but also his children's futures, and now he is hunting Christian. Copeland says he already has two heads on his wall, and he tells Christian to ask Nick Wayne and Killswitch what happens when he snaps, for he will change his soul and kick his face in, and when Christian closes his eyes, he will picture him and the pain he will bring into his world. He then says he will take the TNT Championship, which is secondary to him, because it is the most important thing in his world, and on Dynamite on December 6th in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, he will go places that Christian will never go because he does not have the dog in him while he takes Christian's title.

Tony Schiavone interviews "Absolute" Ricky Starks and Big Bill in the ring. Starks says he expected more of a fight from Chris Jericho, and he knows that the "clout vampire" that is Chris Jericho will try to come back around and bite his neck, but it will not happen. Big Bill says "The Golden Jets" are more like "The Golden Girls" when it comes to Jericho and Kenny Omega, and Starks says that while he and Big Bill barely know each other, he knows that Jericho and Omega are not built like Big Bill. Big Bill goes on to say that four years ago, while he was going in and out of emergency rooms due to seizures from alcohol withdrawal, when he could not get out of bed while in the lowest point of his life, and when everyone counted him out and stopped believing in him, he always knew he would make it back to the top, and standing with Starks with the AEW World Tag Team Championship, he made it back to the top. He says that he and Starks know all about Jericho and Omega and know that they are two of the best to ever do this, but he does not think they realize who they are dealing with, as he and Starks are angry, motivated and ready to embarrass them. After comparing himself and Starks to legendary NBA basketball duos, he does not see any of the legendary Chicago Bulls players in Jericho or Omega; instead, he just sees "the dudes that hand Michael Jordan his Bazooka Joe bubble gum before starting line-ups are introduced." Starks says one tells everyone they are the best while the other is, and when all is said and done, he likes his gum minty fresh while Big Bill loves Big Red.
