Broken Matt Hardy is backstage with “The Bucks of Youth.” They ask for a different version of him, so he comes out as Matt Hardy from The Hardy Boyz. They want a few years before that, so he comes out as a younger Matt Hardy.

Winner by Pinfall: Brian Cage

-Commercial Break-
Dr. Britt Baker is brought out to the stage on a wheelchair. It says “Roll Model” on the back. Tony Schiavone is at the top of the ramp with her. There’s a board that says, “The Rules of Being a Role Model.” Baker isn’t pleased with how he announced it. Rule #3 is all about her: Don’t hurt the role model. Last week’s egregious tandem assault left her with a broken tibia. It wasn’t an accident. It was a conspiracy that goes far and beyond.
Still photos are shown of Nyla Rose landing on her leg and Baker being tended to at ringside. Baker says there’s no women’s division without her. Kris Statlander being an alien is a crock of shit. Hikaru Shida is a cheater and conspirator. Nyla Rose has come off the top rope with precision and grace, so she couldn’t have guided herself away from her fragile leg? Conspirator!
Baker has Rebel get a bulletin board with a bunch of pictures and red string. All the evils done to her have seen Aubrey Edwards (mostly) refereeing the matches Baker was hurt in. Baker says she’ll be back for All Out. They’re on notice.
-Commercial Break-

Video Package: Cody defeats Lance Archer to win the TNT Championship
TNT Champion Cody makes his way to the ring. Tony Schiavone is in the ring to interview him. Schiavone congratulates him on the win. Cody asks Schiavone if he knows why Tom Brady is his favorite quarterback. It’s not because he’s a Boston guy who isn’t welcome in Connecticut… it’s because he wasn’t picked first. Tony Khan started a company wanting the best wrestlers in the world. Cody wasn’t the first, second, or third call. It doesn’t bother him because he’s the very first champion of America’s greatest network.
People think his story is one of nepotism and favoritism. His story is about a 21 year old kid that got called up to television not knowing anything. Cody says he grew up before everyone. Cody says people can critique him bell to bell, but he’ll outrun anyone on a track. Cody says this TNT Championship will be an open challenge. Cody has an obligation to the fans that turn out in droves for them. He’ll be a fighting champion defending the title every week.

MJF is with Wardlow backstage. MJF has been undefeated for over a year, but he hasn’t had a title match yet. When he heard that a certain someone was having a battle royal for a title shot, he decided to take part. Wardlow will be his insurance piece in this.
