Tony Schiavone moderates a face-to-face meeting between The Outrunners (Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd) and the team of FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway to start tonight's show. Stokely says that FTR should be challenging for the AEW World Tag Team Championships, but first, they must clear the air about what happened on Collision. He says that he is "flabbergasted" towards The Outrunners' behavior, as both teams used to be friends until The Outrunners "made them out to be enemies." Cash agrees with Stokely, saying he and Dax are both flabbergasted and cannot figure what they did to deserve this after everything they did for The Outrunners, saying they have a problem with FTR when they did nothing wrong. He says everyone has a problem with FTR when they started looking out for themselves, and asks The Outrunners to think about what they are throwing away before they make any rash decisions. Cash then shows a video package of the times both teams shared together as the "FTRunners," then Dax says that he considered The Outrunners family until jealously reared its ugly head and The Outrunners realized that both teams had completely different ceilings. Dax says The Outrunners were once a popular act and big merchandise sellers, but when they got their one shot at immortality by becoming AEW World Tag Team Champions, they embarrassed themselves like they always do and proved that they were a joke, causing the fans to laugh at them. Dax says the fans do not care and have never cared about The Outrunners, who he says sided with the fans and will have to learn the hard way that the fans will turn on them like they turned on FTR. He says that while their gimmick will make them money, it will not make them "FTR money," as they will never be "FTR good." As FTR leaves, Magnum takes the microphone and admits that The Outrunners may not be everybody's cup of tea and may have come up short against The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin), FTR is dead wrong about the fans not beliving in them. Turbo says they made a mistake in believing FTR would be mentors and friends who would take them to the top, yet when something even slightly better came along, FTR dropped them. He says The Outrunners were put on this earth to wrestle and entertain, and now they are on this earth to whup FTR's ass. FTR and Stokely head back to the ring, but Stokely stops FTR and says they would fight them, but FTR does not fight for free, especially not in Washington. He then says that if they want a fight, they can have one next week in Ontario, California.

Christian asks MVP if he is trying to convince himself or convince him, as he lives by the rule "Never trust a criminal," and says that while MVP is a bad criminal because he got caught, he is a better criminal than he is a manager. Christian then says that he is "The Patriarch" and that he runs AEW, and if he wants the tag team titles, they are as good as theirs. MVP wishes Christian good luck, and tells him that he will need it.

Mercedes says that she is a real star and is about to hold seven titles before declaring that Toni is not just "some motherfucker," but "the motherfucker who is about to be so fucked over" at All In Texas, as this is her movie, her story and her legacy. She then says that if Toni wants a death sentence, then this will be the beautiful murder that she wrote. Mercedes then brags about walking Toni like a dog before walking all over her face until All In, and hopes that Toni will be able to stomach the beating that she is about to give her when she gives one to Mina Shirakawa next week with the TBS Championship on the line. She says that while Toni and mina are playing checkers, she is playing chess.

As she says that she let victory slip through her fingers, Tasha Steelz and Samantha Evans show up and tell Gia Miller to leave, then Tasha says she "snatched that ish" and became #1 contender because she does things by any means necessary. She says it is a good thing that Chelsea lost so that she wouldn't have to deal with a title unbalance, but Chelsea challenges her to a mixed title match. When Tasha tries to get away, Chelsea shoves her back into the chair and tells her to think about it.

"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander heads to the ring. Alexander has said that he has heard that he needs to keep his emotions in check and that he will get his world title match only if he can do so. He says that he has faced Minoru Suzuki and Jonah and has been battered and bruised, but he has never lost focus. He says that what Moose did to him in the ring in front of his wife and child is burned into his mind forever, that he knows what it feels like to have the world title in his hands, and that he is the uncrowned champion until Moose beats him. Alexander says that Moose has no problem handing world title shots to anyone who asks, but he knows that Moose is avoiding the one true challenge in this company, and that if Moose can get in the ring and wrestle tonight, he will only do so when he goes through him. He says that if he cannot get his title shot, then he should think about whether Impact is the right place to be himself. Suddenly, Charlie Haas shows up. Haas introduces himself to Alexander and the fans, then says Alexander is "one hell of a wrestler" and has learned the craft as he states that they have a lot in common. He says Alexander is the pinnacle while he himself has a lot left in the tank, then challenges him to a match. Alexander says it would be an honor to step in the ring with him, but he needs the world title match first. He says that he had obstacles and excuses have been placed in front of him, and that Haas would be an obstacle in his way. Haas then says that Alexander would be an obstacle in his way and punches him, starting a brawl. The brawl is quickly stopped by security, and as Haas leaves, Alexander tells him that if he wants this match, he has it, for he is not afraid of a fight.
