David McLane welcomes us to the show with his signature introduction. A video recap of season one of WOW is replayed, including Tessa Blanchard's campaign to become the world champion. Footage also recalls Jungle Grrrl's winning streak ending thanks to an assist from The Beast. Season one ended with Havok, The Beast, Jungle Grrrl, and Tessa Blanchard all having a face-off.

Back to the arena. McLane introduces the champ, Tessa Blanchard. Crowd erupts. Blanchard gets on the microphone and tells the crowd that she is undeniable. "I am one of the best in the world. I am the world champion. I am the biggest star in this industry, and I am the baddest b**ch in this building." That brings out The Beast. She says that Blanchard is only the champ because she allows her to be. They get into each other's faces. Jungle Grrrl is out next, who reminds Blanchard that it took The Beast and Blanchard's duel efforts to hand her a loss in WOW. Blanchard asks McLane to put Jungle Grrrl and The Beast in the ring together to figure out a number one contender. The champ goes to leave...Havok is here! She chases Blanchard back into the ring. This leads McLane to book a triple-threat elimination match for tonight's main event!
