Tenille finds herself again with a double underhook for a near-fall. Tenille keeps her offense strong with her Dash Woogie in the center of the ring. Eddie Edwards, on the outside, tries to fire Alisha out of the lockup. Tenille breaks it up for another near-fall. Alisha puts the breaks on to connect two running bulldogs. She looks for a cover, and Kaleb breaks the count up. On the outside, Alisha flies off the top rope. Tenille moves out of the way and moves Kaleb towards the madness.

Josh Mathews and Madison Rayne inform us that the AEW World Champion Kenny Omega and Don Callis are back for tonight's show. Omega's former Bullet Club ally, Karl Anderson, will be in action tonight!

Speaking of Karl Anderson, his opponent for tonight, Chris Sabin, is ready to keep their Three-Step list going. So far, they've done everything they said they were going to do. Now that they're on step three, they want Anderson and Doc Gallows Tag Team Championships.

Karl Anderson asks the Impact World Champion Rich Swann if he's seen the Motor City Machine Guns. Swann tells him that he hasn't, and he needs to calm down. MCMG enter and confront Anderson ahead of their main event match.

We head back to the ring to hear what the "Self-Proclaimed" TNA World Heavyweight Champion Moose has to say.

Moose is happy to inform everyone that he's put Willie Mack on the injury list. He warns everyone that his championship reign will forever be superior to Rich Swann's reign with the Impact World Championship. Willie's music hits. Willie issues a message to Moose that he will face him in an "I Quit" match at Genesis on Saturday, January 9. Moose is quite unhinged after hearing the news. He takes his frustrations out on Willie and one of the security guards.

Backstage interviewer Gia Miller catches a quick comment from Moose. He is sick and tired of independent wrestlers like Willie thinking they deserve big title shots. He gives one final warning before walking away.

Backstage: Chris Bey checks in on Rohit Raju after his unsuccessful victory to retain his X-Division Championship on Saturday. Bey has an idea for Raju: He thinks he should unmask the new champion Manik to reveal that it's TJP who's underneath the mask. He informs Raju that he has a match against the new X-Division champion tonight and would like to have Raju be in his corner. Raju accepts his request.

AEW President/CEO Tony Khan and head commentator Tony Schiavone pay to have another ad displayed on Impact. Khan wants to teach Don Callis a lesson about the business and invite him and Omega to return to Dynamite tomorrow night. They show a preview for what's to come Dynamite tomorrow night on their show. Tony throws a few jabs towards Impact, like their lack of a fan base, as well as their home channel AXS TV and how it's hard to find the channel.

Eric Young introduces us to the newly transformed Cody Deaner, who betrayed his tag partner Cousin Jake this past Saturday. Young says he is going to baptize Cody towards a new sense of change.
