Winner: Wheeler Yuta
We get a promo from the MxM Collection and they demand a ZOOM into their faces. They say they know Private Party like their shots, but they don’t drink or do drugs and their shots are glamor shots.
Cage uses Weapon X to win after three moves.
Winner: Brian Cage
In the back Renee Paquette is with Kyle Fletcher and Don Callis. Kyle says the match with MJF is personal, and Don Callis interrupts him to say there are friends, but Family is more important. Brain Cage interrupts HIM and says he beat some scrub in 30 seconds, so they should be talking to him. Kyle says if Cage wants more TV time, he can have a warm-up with him tomorrow on Collision. Cage agrees and Callis explains to Kyle that it was a bad idea.
Harley has a mic and says Saraya will not be wrestling out of protest because of how she’s been treated by AEW and the fans. She says that Rose is in a lot of trouble.
Harley hits Rose, which irritates her. Harley charges at Rose, and Rose drops her with a shoulder. Rose then charges into Harley and drops her again. Harley is whipped into the corner, and Harley dodges and gets a couple of kicks before Rose knocks her to the floor. Rose teases a dive, but instead rolls to the floor and picks up Harley. Harley escapes out the back and shoves Rose into the ringpost. She gets in a few blows and then rolls Rose into the ring for more kicks as we go to picture in picture.

Harley tries for the cross body and Rose catches and slams her. Rose misses a cannonball, and Harley gets a pair of running kicks for two. Harley gets a tejaris and a charge in the corner. Harley then gets a bronco buster, but Rose grabs her and gets a running beast bomb for the pin and the win.
Winner: Nyla Rose
Glad Nyla got the win here, and another week where she got to show a little of the humor she shows in her social media. If they let her be who she is, she could be a much bigger star.
We then get Private Party and they say that they will not let the MxM collective take their drive and party. They then mock MxMs poses.
We get Keith going after Drake’s eyes, outside interference and then the Diamond Dust for the pin and the win.
Winner: Bryan Keith
In the back, Renee Paquette is with Shibata. He says that Samoa Joe and Hook want revenge on Jericho. Since he is facing Bryan Keith, and the last time they fought, Keith injured his arm, so he will injure all of Keith.
Mansoor and Zay lock up and trade arm bars. Mansoor gets a takedown and poses. They lock up again and Mansoon gets another arm bar. After Zay does the “shots” dance, Mansoort yells that he needs to take this seriously. They run the ropes and Mansoor gets a shoulder tackle and poses. Zay hits him with a standing drop-kick.

Zay is tagged back in and they hit a neckbreaker backdrop combo on two for Mason. They then hit high/low kicks. They try for a double suplex, but Mason reverses it. MxM hit a double team on Zay for two, broken up by Quen.
All four men are down and Mansoor and Zay are up first. Zay gets a springboard DDT off the second rope and Zay gets a dropkick on Mason, so both of MxM are knocked to the floor. Zay dives and Mason catches and slams him. Quen is able to get a swanton off the top onto Mason.
