Harley shows up wearing a Hologram mask, calling herself "Harleygram" before accepting her challenge, all while acting robotic. Thunder Rosa sees right through this, mentioning that she beat her in the Day of the Dead Match a few weeks ago, but Harley insists Thunder Rosa does not know what she is talking about.

He says that this is a wake-up call for AEW that nothing lasts forever, and that the fans are living in a fantasy world and will see the truth at WrestleDream. He says there is a dark side to Danielson, saying that Danielson in the ring is a beautiful thing, but when he is provoked, he is truly terrifying. Moxley says Danielson has never been truly comfortable with that part of him, and that as his world closes in around him, he will truly embrace his dark side, and he will be ready. Moxley says there is not enough people in the state of Washington to stop him and what he stands for, as The Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Wheeler Yuta) is too powerful and no weapon can be formed against them. He says he will run into the mouth of war and beyond, and warns everyone to run while they can. Moxley then says that he hopes Danielson understands that it has to be this way, then says he cannot be worried about that now because they stakes are too high.

Brody says Darby is right, as he has everything he wants, but he does not take it for granted. He says Darby has a death wish, and asks what will happen if Darby were to go to Mount Everest and die, then says Darby can lie to everyone all he wants when he needs someone to save him from himself at the end of the day.

Tony Schiavone interviews Will Ospreay in the ring. Ospreay says that last week was supposed to be him beating Ricochet and moving on, but now they are equal because of "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita. He says he has been a part of The Don Callis Family (Callis, Kyle Fletcher, Takeshita) and knows how they operate, and that he knows Takeshita does not do anything without Callis' go-ahead. Ospreay then calls Don Callis out, saying that they need to have a chat. Callis shows up, and when he goes for the hug, Ospreay wants none of it. Callis says that last week was difficult for him emotionally, and that he hates to see Ospreay unhappy. He tries to get Ospreay to remember the good times they had last year, but Ospreay is not having that either, and he demands that Callis tell him if he sent Takeshita out to attack him. Callis says that Ospreay is asking the wrong question, but Ospreay tells him to stop stalling. Callis says Ospreay does not need to know that, and as Ospreay demands that Callis stop dancing around his question, Callis finally flat out says that he sent Takeshita out of frustration because Ospreay would not listen to his advice, and that he had to show him who makes the decisions in the family. Callis then mentions the tag team title loss, saying Ospreay dropped the ball because he was too mentally weak to do what needed to be done. Ospreay says that if Callis would have kept his nose out of his business, he would have been a tag team champion as well as a world champion. Callis said he had the best wrestler in the world, but he threw him in the garbage for Ospreay, and that maybe he should throw Ospreay in the garbage.

Backstage, we hear from Top Flight (Darius Martin, Dante Martin, Leila Grey) and Action Andretti. Darius says people keep asking them how they feel after losing number one contendership on Collision. Darius says they are pissed off, because they know they are better than the other two teams they faced and should be facing The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) for the tag team titles. Dante says that they beat The Young Bucks, and that there is no reason they should not have a title match. Andretti says there is a reason, and it is because they are not fired up and constantly complaining. Leila Grey butts in, saying Andretti is the reason as he constantly steps in and messing everything up. Andretti says he did what was best for them, but Leila says he screwed them. Andretti says they do not get it, and leaves. Dante says Andretti is "all go, no thinking," and that this will not stop unless they fix it.
We hear from "Scapegoat" Jack Perry, who says there is a lot to say about "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata, as he is a legend and the embodiment of fighting spirit, but he wants to know if Shibata is still one of the best. He syas that Shibata lets his phone do all the talking, but he wants to have a conversation with him in his native language: violence. He says he wants to face the Shibata who almost killed himself in the ring because he was willing to fight that hard and wanted to sacrifice that much. He says that Shibiata may deserve the TNT Championship, but it is really about what Shibata is willing to take, then says the TNT Championship proves he is one of the best and dares Shibata to take it from him.

They both soon see a disinterested looking Billie Starkz, and Athena tells Billie she would not have put her in the ring with Abadon if she knew she could not handle the situation, then tells her to stop moping because it is her time and it is about time that she got her flowers. She says that the last thing she wants is Billie having a problem, and that the first step in solving a problem is admitting there is a problem, but Billie says Athena is the problem and that she left her in the ring even though she had her back. Athena counters by saying Billie did not have hers or Lexy's, and tells Billie to either be there for her special day or just stay home. Billie says "Okay," and walks off.

He tells MJF to find a woman who will care about him for more than a year, have a child and buy a house, then reminds him that when he picks up his child, he will feel a tingle in his neck move its way down and he will think about him. He says that MJF will also have to tell his child that Daniel Garcia ended his career.

Eddie says the old him would go look for a bottle to drown himself in after his recent loss, but he cannot do that anymore and he is fighting that, as Mark Briscoe deserves him at 100% and a World Champion who will bring the fight to him. He says Mark inspires him to stay on the straight and narrow, as he knows he would try to crack open a few bottles and drown his demons.
