Brodie Lee brings out The Dark Order and starts to cut a promo before stopping and screaming at 10 to take a knee while he speaks. Lee says that he understands that there might be a disconnection between he and the viewers at home because he being an elite athlete in his prime can’t relate with losers at home. Lee says that isn’t true though because he bleeds, sweats and breathes like everyone else. He says that he is not a God but is a man. Lee says he is a man that has come into possession with a very special “piece” as he looks at the AEW Title.

He says that he has to win this Saturday not only to satisfy his hunger and desire but to also pay off the loyalty and love of his group. Lee says he has known that 10 was special and he picked him and now he has his moment to shine. He refers to him as a “High Knight of the Dark Order” and instructs him to hurt Jon Moxley.

Jake Roberts and Arn Anderson make their way out to sit down in the ring with Tony Schiavone for a “face off.” Roberts says it’s surreal to sit across the table from Anderson and says that he always thought about the fact that he and Arn never faced off against each other in the ring. “People have dreams and people have nightmares but everyone knows those aren’t real,” Roberts says. “Lance Archer is real and he has destroyed everyone that has been put in front of him.”
Roberts says that Cody has done everything to duck Archer but now he has to come face-to-face with the truth and that truth is that Archer is a “mean son of a bitch” that is going to rip his heart out. Roberts asks Arn if he used his weekend pass from the Nursing Home tonight.
Arn agrees that this is surreal for him too and says that he and Roberts was a dream match that fans always wanted to see. He says he has serious goosebumps and says that if either of them told you that a piss ant could pull a train then you would hook it up because they told it like it is. Arn says that Roberts permeated evil and people were terrified of him but he realized way back in the day that all the stuff he did was a distraction but he had evil in his heart.
Roberts says that he’s been to hell and back so one more trip with Arn wouldn’t be so bad and that anytime, anyplace if he wants to get his ass kicked he will do it for him. Anderson talks about Mike Tyson and says that word Tyson is going to have free reign to hang around ringside and he wonders if Roberts will attempt to throw his “stupid snake” on Tyson.
Roberts says whatever he throws at Tyson would take him down but Archer gets first shot because he wants to knock him out for fun. Roberts says he was hoping that bimbo Brandi would present the belt because he would like to “bump into her” again. Anderson says that Cody isn’t interested in winning title because he wants a pay raise or admiration from the fan, he has to win it. He says he isn’t just Dusty Rhodes’ son, he is a leader of AEW that has turned the business on its head in a year.
Anderson says that he is a vicious prick and the only reason he doesn’t come over the table at Roberts after he threatened him was because he had one more thing to say. Anderson says that he heard Roberts was doing DDP Yoga and that’s good because he wants him to be good and limber when he Spinebusts his ass through the ring. Roberts gets pissed and flips the table to go after Arn until referee’s run out to separate the two grandpas.
