Back at ringside, Renee Paquette welcomes Roderick Strong and The Kingdom to the stage. Roderick says that Joe will come to regret helping Max before talking about suffering consequences of his own actions…until now.
With that, he rises from the wheelchair, admitting that it’s held him back but no longer as he throws it off the stage, the culmination of his promise to “not suffer consequences” to a great reaction from the crowd and The Kingdom.

MJF appears, starting to run Page down but Hangman storms off. The champ pokes the bear some more, saying he talks for 30 minutes to wake the crowd up…and this leads to a war of words between the two men.
