Mackenzie says she will not give up on herself and the fans, as she is ready for her rematch against C-Rex. Nixi XS says Mackenzie is ignoring her because she can see right through her and calls her a failure before telling her to go home, as she is nothing without the title.

Raquel Rodriguez shows up with Liv Morgan and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio in tow, and Liv says Nia keeps bragging about her accomplishments like she is special when she is not, and brags about retiring Becky Lynch and becoming the best Women's World champ of all time. Liv says she has held her title longer than Nia has and that she knows what it takes to be Women's Crown Jewel Champion and what it takes to beat Nia, as she won in their last match.

Roman ask for the microphone, but before Jimmy can hand it to him, Jey shows up and heads to the ring. Jey says that their match at Crown Jewel is to get back at Solo for costing him championship gold as well as the family, and as things are not good between them, it takes a lot to be in the same ring as Roman after how Roman treated him. He then says he still showed up because that is what family does, and like the ones before them and the ones after them, they must show that family is above all. Jey then says that this time, he will be not Roman's right-hand man or lackey, but his equal. He says the three of them must be equals in order to stand side-by-side like they ran things back in the day, and if Roman even slightly disrespects him, he is gone, and if Roman does not like that, he can either walk or he can be his cousin and not his Tribal Chief. Jey then asks Roman if they are going to do this or not, Roman says "Yeet." After the crowd cheers, they chant "Hug it out!" before Jimmy raises one finger in the air. Jey joins him, then Roman does the same.
