As they keep drinking shots of Talkin' Shop Whiskey, both team keep daring each other to have another shot before signing the contract. Everyone signs the contract before having a third shot, then Juice and Finlay throw their shots into The Good Brothers' faces. This leads to a brawl in the conference room between both teams.

Suddenly, Chris Sabin shows up. Sabin says that while he knows The Good Brothers want to treat Impact like their own personal tour bus, he cannot tell if they are drunk or stupid, as The Motor City Machine Guns were not pinned when they lost the tag titles. Sabin demands a tag team title rematch, but Gallows tells him he has no business doing so because he has no tag team partner, but Sabin says he has a partner who knows a lot about tag team wrestling: "The Cowboy" James Storm.

After talking about their six-man tag team match against Matt Sydal and Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) tomorrow night on Dynamite, he announces that he has brought Private Party in for a warm-up match.

Bravo joke that Taya might do time in Jacksonville, Florida; Stanford, Connecticut or Baltimore, Maryland - references to All Elite Wrestling, WWE and Ring of Honor respectively.) Rosemary scares security away and confronts Taya for her behavior. Taya says she does not regret having Rosemary as a friend regardless of what happens. Taya is hauled off, and Crazzy Steve shows up.

Rich Swann shows up. Swann says he felt the pressure of being Impact World Champion and leading the company into war at Hard To Kill, saying he lives and thrives off that pressure and that he, Chris Sabin and Moose left their hearts in the ring. He admits he had some trust issues with Moose given what all Moose has done, but that his attention was on Kenny Omega and The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson). Now that Moose has his attention, he wants him to get in the ring so they can settle things. Moose shows up and reminds Swann that people make bad decisions when they are angry and that those decisions tend to make him angry, then says nothing between them will be settled until he gets a World title shot.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Ace Austin and Madman Fulton. Austin says what happened at Hard To Kill was a tragedy, as he was forced to sit on a countdown show panel and comment on a match, and says "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander's time as a tag team champion is done and that Alexander should fade into the background. Ace Austin also shows his disgust with having to face Matt Cardona instead of taking part in the X Division Championship match. Suddenly, Alexander shows up and says he will make sure Austin will not reach his potential and that opportunities are earned. After Alexander shoves Austin, Fulton grabs Alexander from behind. As Austin is about to punch Alexander, Matt Cardona shows up and beats up Austin, forcing Austin and Fulton to retreat.
