- Post-match, Santana with the cheap shot on Cody with the loaded sock. Matt and Kenny run down to the ring to help Arn get rid of the Inner Circle members. From the big screen, Chris Jericho (with Sammy Guevara and Jake Hager) tells the group, they are being put on notice. In two weeks, "we're gonna beat the hell out of you pumpkin head, dip s—s." They says the guys probably wonder where Nick is, they ran into him, and it looks like he had a bit of a headache. The camera pans down and Nick is squashed under a big door, blood pouring from his head. The Elite and others run to the back to check on him. During the split-screen commercial, medical staff helps Nick, puts him on a stretcher, and takes him to an ambulance. Looks like Cody and Matt Jackson (maybe Kenny Omega? Couldn't quite tell) are going to the hospital in a separate car.

- Two weeks ago at Revolution, Christopher Daniels came to the ring like he was the Exalted One, but faked out the Dark Order to help save his SCU stablemates and Colt Cabana. Last week, SCU & Cabana beat Dark Order in an 8-man tag. Daniels does a mock Dark Order vignette, dressed as their spokesman. He talks about Dark Order initially being poised for success, until they ran into SCU. Daniels (dressed in his SCU gear) is spliced in from time to time to make fun of the group ("Screw the Dark Order!"). Daniels says he challenges Evil Uno and Grayson to singles matches at any time they want. Daniels says there is no Exalted One, and he'll prove it by beating each guy and no Exalted One will show up.

- On the stage, Tony Schiavone introduces Britt Baker, she comes out with some coffee. Says she's glad Tony is here because there's not much to do in Utah. Baker makes fun the state's liquor laws, and the poor oral health among the fans.

That's why she's here to be everyone's role model and lead by example. Crowd boos. Big Swole makes her way out and says all Baker does is talk. Swole gets closer and Baker hides behind Tony. "PSA, boo...he don't even like you!" Baker says the only wrestler anyone cares about in her household is her boyfriend (Cedric Alexander). Swole then shows her ring, "I'm married...bay bay!"
