- Recap of KENTA showing up last week to ambush Jon Moxley. Commentary previews some of tonight's matches and segments.

- Outside the venue, Jon Moxley says KENTA has been calling him out for months, so what happened last week was no surprise. Moxley says the time for cheap talk is over and Moxley thinks KENTA knows that. Moxley promotes they are going to meet each other on February 26 (while also showing the IWGP US Championship). That match is sanctioned, but tonight's will not be. He wishes his opponents good luck taking him off the board, tonight is "just for fun."

- Inner Circle locker room, Sammy Guevara asks the group for a minute, so he can talk with MJF. Sammy says he knows what MJF is up to, especially after last week. He knows MJF is trying to take over the Inner Circle. MJF thought Sammy was just jealous of him, since he was the apple of Jericho's eye, but now MJF is the new favorite. MJF realized it's not that, he thinks Sammy actually hates Jericho and doesn't like to play second fiddle to him. MJF continues that he thinks Sammy is upset and he wants to take it over. Sammy repeats what MJF says, and MJF responds that's exactly what he wanted to hear as he takes his phone. Sammy realizes MJF was recording him, takes it, and throws the phone against the wall. He then punches MJF in the midsection and leaves the room.

Matt is fired up and says how about next week the titles will be up for grabs against Santana and Ortiz.

Hardy then brings out his contract and says Page could be amazing, and Hardy only takes 30%, which is nothing when he makes so much money!

- Earlier today, Alex Marvez finds Kenny Omega on the golf course. Omega doesn't want to talk, especially when he's golfing. Omega says to watch this shot out of the sand. He hits the ball out and asks Marvez he'll answer a question. Marvez wonders what Omega is doing here, rather than prepping for a match with a partner that doesn't really like him. Omega says he's not going to lock himself in a room and study tape with Don Callis. He's going to be out with nature to clear his mind. He hasn't lost in awhile, and doesn't plan on losing tonight. Omega says he's going to put on a show tonight. Omega apparently hit the ball into the hole, then puts the ball in Marvez's pocket. Marvez asks for a ride and they pass, leaving him behind.
