An interview with Ricky Starks & Action Andretti was shown from post-Dynamite earlier this week where they said that neither Chris Jericho nor Sammy Guevara could beat them without help whether it be from a baseball bat or interference from other members of the Jericho Appreciation Society.
"I can beat the good ole @IAmJericho. And that is the #ABSOLUTE truth." @starkmanjones @ActionAndretti

Eddie Kingston cut a backstage promo saying that he’s done trying to fight his demons and the real Eddie Kingston has to come out. He noted that it was too bad that Oritz had to be the fatal shot. He finished up by telling the House of Black that he now understands their way and they just have to accept him and he’s “ready to go home”.
"House Of Black, I understand you.. I'm ready to go home."

Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett & Satnam Singh were out for their Trios match against Best Friends & Danhausen next. Sonjay Dutt was in possession of Paul Walter Hauser’s Golden Globe that they stole last week. Danhausen had a ukelele with him to combat Jarrett’s guitar but Jay Lethal stole it from him and Satnam Singh broke it over his knee.
That wasn't very nice of @hellosatnam!

The finish saw Danhausen attempt to use Jarrett’s guitar on Satnam Singh only to have referee Bryce Remsburg catch him and remove the weapon. This distraction allowed Jarrett to hit Danhausen with Paul Walter Hauser’s Golden Globe and give Singh the easy pin.

Renee Paquette then interviewed Dustin Rhodes who said it’s been a terrible month for him and he’s happy to be back at work. Swerve Strickland and The Mogul Affiliates interrupted asking if he needed to take another old man out. Swerve said that Dustin’s brother “wasn’t sh*t” and then said “let’s not talk about your Dad” which set Dustin off and the two had to be separated.
