We then head backstage to Renee Paquette, Angelo Parker, and Anna Jay. Parker tells Jay that she always has his support, but he can’t be out at ringside with her tonight and he thinks he’s started piecing everything together. He asks Jay if she had anything to do with Harley Cameron kissing him, and Jay slaps him. She says she can’t believe he asked her that and says he was defending him against Ruby Soho, but she’s no longer doing that. She says she’s tired of having everyone’s back while no one has hers, and says she’s done.

After the match, Don Callis grabs a mic and says The Don Callis Family takes everything that can be taken. He says Chris Jericho took 33 years from him that he can never get back, and they’ve started to take from him including Kenny Omega and Sammy Guevara. He says Jericho kept coming back, but it’s time to end things. He challenges Jericho to a match on Takeshita’s behalf and says when all is said and done, nothing will be left.
Kyle Fletcher cuts Callis off and says both Takeshita and Hobbs have both had their shot at Jericho. He says he deserves the next match against him and amends his statement. He challenges Jericho to a match against Takeshita next week and one against Fletcher the week after.
