Alex Marvez interviews the Young Bucks backstage. Matt Jackson says that Fenix beat him in singles action and he has also beaten Nick in a singles match but they are the best tag team in wrestling. Don Callis interrupts and brings a “do not slap leg when kicking” shirt and gives it to them as a gift for their dad. He admits that the Bucks never actually attacked him. He said he actually wanted them to kick him because he wanted to see the old Young Bucks team that he saw destroying people in Japan.

Callis says there is nothing elite about the Bucks anymore and says they are killing their careers. Matt calls him “uncle creepy” and says he changed Omega. Callis says he has changed because now he is the “God of wrestling” and he doesn’t recognize the Bucks anymore. He says they aren’t elite anymore, they are just a washed up tag team living off their name with fancy tights. He asks them to look in the mirror and ask themselves if they are the same team he saw tearing it up in New Japan.

Tony Schiavone welcomes Darby Allin and Sting out and Allin actually complains about only defending his title three times since winning it. He says he wants to be a defending champion and wants to start by paying tribute to Brodie Lee and defend it against anyone from the Dark Order.

Lance Archer interrupts and says the internet might think Allin is terrific but he is the biggest “Indie-rific joke” the business has ever seen and since he likes coffins so much he is about to put his ass in one. Jake Roberts tells a dad joke about Allin being a weenie and then says the winds of change are coming and Sting is going to get what is coming to him.

A video package highlights Scorpio Sky. He says he wants to be the poster boy of AEW but they don’t want him because they want the Cody’s and the Darby Allins. He says he always heard that nice guys finish last and that was true until Revolution when he won but it still ended up being someone else’s moment (Allin).
