Jordan Devlin beats Tristan Archer. After the match, Devlin talks about how General Manager Johnny Saint told him that A-Kid wants an Iron Man Match against him and that A-Kid's career is on the line, then says that A-Kid's career is on the line only because he is facing him, as there is no one match more suited to him than an Iron Man Match. A-Kid shows up on crutches, and after calling A-Kid "Tiny Tim," Devlin kicks his crutches away, telling him that he will have no crutches to stand on before finding out that A-Kid is fine. A-Kid then attacks Devlin, forcing him to retreat, then tells Devlin that he failed to break his leg and that he is fully recovered, and next week, Devlin will have thirty minutes to fail again.

Eddie Dennis says that they have not forgotten about Trent Seven, and says that every time they have shared a ring, Trent Seven tried to end his career.

It's time for SPRNVA Sessions. Tonight's guests are Jinny and Joseph Conners. Conners sits down, but Jinny stands up until Noam Dar hands her a pillow off of the couch. After some jokes from Noam Dar, Jinny tells Noam Dar that she has never been cheap and has lived a life of luxury since the day she was born. Joseph Conners says that since he has teamed up with Jinny, he has been surrounded by true class, true culture and the hierarchy of life. Jinny says that "smart people associate with smart people." Jinny then addresses Aoife Valkyrie, saying she has heard what she has to say about her and says she watches from a distance because she is a scared and fragile girl, and says that Aoife Valkyrie would never say any of that to her face because she knows that she will be the one to break her and truly destroy her.
