Bullet Club ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) make their way to the ring to start tonight's show. Bey then talks about how he set up the ring for shows in the current venue, how he debuted for Impact and competed for both the X Division and World titles, and how they won at No Surrender there. Ace Austin talks about how he too debuted in the current venue and beat Chris Sabin twice there, and says that while The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) are the best team to do it ever and an influence to them, they are no longer the best. Bey says it is because they are here now, and that they are the best team in Impact Wrestling. Before he can get the crowd involved in a "Q&Bey," The Motor City Machine Guns show up. Sabin asks them how long they have been teaming, then says he and Shelley have cultivated their craft all over the world and gotten better for the last seventeen years, and that they are now the best they have ever been. He says that they are still the best tag team in the world, then Ace Austin says they are tag team champions because he and Bey have not gotten a fair shot, and Bey says they only need one to shot to do it, and they will do it at Sacrifice. Shelley reminds Bey that they had to fight to survive in Impact fifteen years ago to become the best, and that Ace and Bey are just doing their best "Motor City Machine Guns" impression. He then says that instead of waiting until Sacrifice, they can go ahead and do it tonight if Chris Bey wants more history in the venue for tonight's show. Both teams shake hands, then have a stand-off.

Mickie James heads to the ring. She says it feels good to be in the ring as Knockouts World Champion once again after No Surrender. She says people have told her that she could not beat Masha Slamovich, but she is still the champion. She then says there is still unfinished business with Jordynne Grace, who keeps telling people that she tapped out, and says they will soon get back to business. "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw, Jai Vidal and Savannah Evans suddenly show up. Gisele says it is funny that Mickie wrestled Masha to dodge Jordan, then wants to wrestle Jordynne to dodge the next real challenger. She says that she knows Mickie can beat Jordynne, assuming Jordynne cannot get her in the rear naked choke, then accuses Mickie of dodging her. Mickie says she beat her on "The Last Rodeo" and that she can beat her again. Gisele says Mickie faced "a Gisele Shaw" who was trying to find her footing, but not "this Gisele Shaw" who has beaten "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo at No Surrender and has owned who she is. She says that she destroy anyone and anything in her path to the Knockouts Championship that happens to be on Mickie's shoulder, and warns Mickie that once she is done with Jordynne, she is next. Mickie says they do not have to wait until she is done with Jordynne and says Gisele is putting Jordynne in front of herself because she is afraid of getting beaten again, but Gisele says she is prepared to wrestle tonight. After Mickie tells Gisele that she does not need wrestling gear to beat her, Gail Kim shows up and says Gisele loves to run her mouth and run away too often, and that Mickie has earned the right to call her own shots. She makes the match official for the Impact Wrestling Knockouts World Championship.

Backstage, as Brian Myers talks to a truck driver about his podcast, Moose shows up and says Impact still has a Joe Hendry problem.
