Steve Maclin shows up and chases Kazarian out of the ring.

We hear from The IInspiration (Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee).

Ash thanks the fans before declaring how beautiful she is in addition to being the new TNA Knockouts World Champion in addition to TNA's savior. She says TNA needed to be saved, so she headed to Heatwave and captured the title, and says it is all because of her. She says that not even Masha Slamovich could do this and that she beat so many opponents to become champion before Masha shows up to spoil the proceedings. Masha says that all she sees is "a coward hiding behind servants," and while she is crashing the party, she has breaking news: at Victory Road, she gets a chance at the Knockouts Championship and prove why Ash's win was a fluke. She also says she will beat The Elegance Brand's asses as soon as she gets in the ring. As she tries to make good on her word, Ash throws champagne into Masha's eyes, then Xia Brookside and Lei Ying Lee rush in to even the numbers game. When the personal concierge tries to stop Masha from putting Heather through a table, The IInspiration (Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee) show up and chase The Elegance Brand away.

We then see him throwing gasoline at the walls, and Swerve becomes enraged. Hangman mentions Swerve spying on him at his own home and telling him that he must make a decision, then continues to pour gasoline on the ground around the house as he says there is nothing he wanted more out of this life than to bring Swerve's world to the ground. He says that if he could not be the one to take the AEW World Championship from him, he would be the one to make it slip through the fingers, and inside a steel cage, he will take Swerve's pride and dignity, and Swerve will be begging for mercy and pleading for forgiveness when he will refuse to. He tells Swerve to say goodbye to the AEW World Championship or any ideas of holding it again, his health, his career, his joy and his happiness.

He says that "they" did the same thing to Roman that they did to him, and says that a fiend only does fiendish things and a monster does monstrous things, and that neither are fit to be champion. Heyman says that Roman's reign is designed around what WWE is supposedly built upon: family and accountability. He says that Roman will be a bigger champion than anyone else, and announces a Fatal 4-Way will decide who Roman will defend the Universal title against. Heyman then says that he serves as special counsel to the tribal chief and the reigning, defending, undisputed Universal Heavyweight Champion, Roman Reigns. Roman says he is a man of his word, and that he did what he said he would do at Payback: sign a contract, wrecked a fiend and a monster and left as Universal Champion.

He says that this could have been Big E's biggest night, but his friends dragged him back down again. He then says you can't dwell on anything, and then prepares for tonight's Fatal 4-Way Match.

Instead of Gulak, however, TJP shows up instead. He is surprised that Gulak is not here, then says he is impatient when it comes to waiting in line for the Cruiserweight Championship. He says that if Cedric wants to wait for a fight, he is willing to put him on the mat for a future title opportunity. Cedric dares TJP to get in the ring, which TJP does, then General Manager Drake Maverick. Maverick says he makes the matches around here, and while he would not normally do this, he is a shameless promoter and knows a marquee match when he sees it. He makes the match official, and brings out a referee to start the match.
