-- MATCH: Rated R Cope defeated Wheeler Yuta.
- After the match: Cope was to tired to celebrate and Yuta started to crawl to Cope. Yuta got up and looked at him and shook Cope's hand. Cope said this is what respect is like. Cope left the ring and headed to the back as Yuta stayed. Then Jon Moxley gets in the ring and starts yelling at Yuta and slapping him across the head. Crowd chants for Yuta. Yuta starts to head to the back and walks to the backstage area with Moxley following him. Finally Mocley says you just keep on walking because if I see you again ... Moxley stops mid sentence and is not happy. Moxley looks into the camera and says ongratulations Cope, you did it, he’ll be all alone at Revolution. If Cope thinks he can pick him off that easily, he wins, Cope got to him, he brought out the worst in Moxley. Cope got what he wanted, but he’ll do nothing to Moxley on Sunday, as this business isn’t about respect, he’s the only one who gets this. You get respect one way, it’s when you’re willing to pull the trigger, something he has to do on Sunday at Revolution. Moxley walks off.
-- Video: A 80s style music video on The Outrunners training for their AEW Tag Team Championship match at Revolution is shown.
-- Outside: MJF was outside waiting for Adam Page to arrive. Renee Parquette comes up to interview him but then a car with horns on the front comes rigth at them and they both run away. Adam Page gets out and chases after MJF. Page is backstage now and see's MJF and hits him out to the arena only to realize it was a fake MJF as the guy is yelling, he told me to do it, the real MJF came up behind him and hit him. They get in the ring an d brawl until MJF gets the better of Page. Security come down but MJF just beats them down. Yes .. actual security but failed. Taz says the rest of security are probably back looking after Moxley.
MJF leaves the ring and says to the crowd you like to see things burn. He goes under the ring and brings out lighter fluid. He gets in the ring and sprinkles it on Page ... and then a mass lot of security come down and stop MJF. They pick up MJF and carry him to the back. Others check on Page in the ring.
-- Backstage: Lexy Nair interviews the writer & director of the Queen of the Ring movie, Ash Avildsen. Avildson goes on to explain what the movie is about. He says Jim Ross is Executive Producer and talks about Mildred Burke until he brings in one of the stars of the movie, Timeless Toni Storm.
She says it was a real stretch playing a curvaceous vixen, but was disappointed her gratuitous nude scene was deleted, as Avildsen said they want families to come to see the movie, so it’s PG-13 but that scene is in his collection on Mullholland Drive. Storm said chin up, tits out and watch Queen of the Ring, out Friday, March 7th.
-- MATCH: Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford defeated Thunder Rosa & Kris Statlander.
-- Backstage: Renee Paquette introduces Mercedes Moné. Moné brings up beating Momo Watanabe before and says she’s legit and beaten some of the best to get another shot.

Paquette said the wrong tag line and was yelled at by Moné, who said the right one and made Paquette say it.
-- MATCH: Switchblade Jay White defeated Max Caster.
- After the match: White gave support for Cope at Revolution.
- NOTE: White asking for the mic ringside was longer than the one move match pin.
-- Video: Renee Paquette Sit Down Interview with Timeless Toni Storm & Mariah May.
Paquette thanks both women for sitting down and agreeing to no physicality. May immediately stood up and spat in Storm’s face. Storm just sits there and says good to see nothing has changed. May says Storm loved her but Storm started this and Paquette yelled at May that she was the one responsible for all this. May said Storm survived her in Australia, but there’s no surviving Revolution, as she’ll be the sickest b+tch you’ve ever seen. May says this is what Storm always wanted, a trilogy with her favorite co-star. They can have their Hollywood Ending they’ve always dreamed of.
Storm says May doesn’t deserve the dignity of death, she sentences her to a lifetime of mediocrity. Her career will continue, it’ll be good but never great, people will like, but never love May. Her star will dwindle, be replaced and forgotten. Some will ask what ever happened to Mariah May, but they’ll learn she found out what happens, when you try to kill God.
May threw the chair away, as Paquette said she seriously prays that neither get hurt. Both May & Storm simultaneously say “pray for her” as the segment ends.
-- MATCH: AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada and Ricochet defeated Swerve Strickland (w/Prince Nana) and Brody King.
-- End of show.
