Crazzy Steve says that Tom is "the voice of Impact Wrestling" and that his voice has been taken along with his sight, and that he is tried of being abandoned, forgotten and on the receiving end of evil, and if he cannot be the antidote to evil, then perhaps that he needs to be the plague. He says mankind's greatest casualty is the casual blindness for the misfortunate of others, but he finds this blindness to be quite deliberate. As he continues to grasp Tom Hannifan's hands firmly, security moves in only for Crazy Steve to fend them off and spit green mist into one member's face, and demands Tom and everyone tells everyone else that he is comfortable with violence.
We hear from MK Ultra (Masha Slamovich and Killer Kelly). Killer Kelly says that the numbers are against them, and that their first title against is defense three teams as she translates for Masha Slamovich.

CM Punk heads to the ring. As the crowd chants "CM Punk," Punk says that is not the name he needs to hear right now, as there are two people who are not here today and one of them has a legitimate reason for that, and that name is Jon Moxley. The crowd chants for Jon Moxley, and Punk says he can sit in the ring all night long for people to chant for Moxley. He admits that he and Moxley may not be the best of friends, and says that he knows where it is like to take himself off the hamster wheel after helping others. Punk says that he is proud of Moxley, and he says that if anyone is in a place where they think they need help, they should reach out, as there is nothing harder and more courageous than asking for help, saying there are times he wishes he did. This then brings up the other name who is not here tonight: Eddie Kingston. He says that he was embarrassed for Kingston last week and he does not know what is happening, and says that while he would fight him over a grudge he does not know about, he is not here. He says that if Eddie has the balls, he has the time, and Eddie can see him in St. Louis, Missouri to apologize for interrupting him.

The Inner Circle pick Junior dos Santos, with Hager saying they will drop dos Santos faster than his last fight. Santana also calls out Andre Arlovski. Before the third pick is chosen, Paige VanZant says her schedule is wide open and tells Chris Jericho that there is no Instagram filter than can hide the beating she can give her and that The Inner Circle does not have the balls to take her on. Paige VanZant also says she can take The Inner Circle by herself. Jericho says that is a joke that writes itself and that VanZant should put that on her OnlyFans page. Ortiz then calls VanZant a bitch in Spanish before Jericho picks Dan Lambert for the third pick. Lambert wants none of this, but Jericho starts a "fat-faced dipshit" chant as Lambert says he said it was only fighters and not any member of American Top Team.

He says they have been top guys for a while, unlike the other two pillars, because they have "it" and the fans know who they are and who they will become: legendary. MJF then wants to know why he is booed while Darby is cheered, then realizes that people hate them because he reminds them they are not successful while Darby is like the fans but knows he cannot function in society. He says that Darby is just like the fans and while never wins, and while he may feel cool now, he is a loser when he gets in the ring. MJF says Darby will lose to him at Full Gear because he is weak and too concerned with battering him instead of beating him. MJF then says that even if Allin can change his ways in ten days, he is still the better wrestler, and says he has not been beaten because he is so good that he can beat Allin with a headlock takeover. Allin, who is sitting in the rafters, admits that he may be an outcast, then says he will maintain his composure and have a wrestling match. MJF leaves before Allin can leave the ring, but his path is blocked by Sting and some men in black with paper masks. Suddenly, Shawn Spears attacks with a chair, and Sting and the men in black are all attacked by The Pinnacle. This does not stop Darby and MJF from brawling in the crowd.
