- Britt Baker comes out to talk with Tony Schiavone. Baker is in a wheelchair with Rebel (Tanea Brooks) pushing her. Baker wants to give another Rules of Being a Role Model. Rule number three: Don't hurt the role model. She says her injury was a conspiracy. Baker says last week's injury came from a 3-on-1 calculated attack. Baker says without her there's no women's division. Baker then goes over why each person is a conspirator: Statlander being an alien is a "crock of s—," Shida already broke her nose and uses a weapon, and Nyla Rose could have easily guided herself away from her fragile knee, as she's flown in the air multiple times. Baker then has a board brought out, tying all of those included in what happened to her. She believes Aubrey Edwards is the brains behind it all. Says every time she's injured Aubrey was there. Baker says she'll be back at All Out on September 5.
- Backstage, Chris Jericho and the Inner Circle talk with Alex Marvez. He says the pep rally will be the best thing ever, as he gloats about it, Orange Cassidy strolls by in the background. Jericho says, "Did he just do that?" Jericho smiles and seems like he's got an idea.

Jaynes pulls Shida by the hair, Shida returns the favor, Jaynes grabs it again, champ with more hair pulling and throws Jaynes into the corner. Shida with a running knee in the corner.

- AEW TNT Champion Cody heads out to the ring (Arn Anderson joins him on the stage for a moment) to talk with Tony Schiavone.

- Earlier today, MJF talks about how great he is and being undefeated for over a year. He can't believe he hasn't received a title shot yet, maybe someone in the AEW office doesn't like him very much. MJF says once he heard about the Battle Royal, he wanted to make sure Cody has competition. MJF says he'll have Wardlow out there as his insurance policy, and when it's the two of them Wardlow knows what to do. Wardlow says, "but..." and MJF yells "but nothing!" getting in his face. He then smiles and says it was a rib, then walks away.
Battle Royal (Winner gets a shot at the AEW TNT Championship on next week's show)
MJF and Wardlow get an entrance as we go to break. A bunch of other wrestlers are in the ring as we come back. Billy Gunn's music hits and he heads from ringside into the ring.
