Backstage, Renee is with Darby Allin. She’d like to ask him about his admiration of The Young Bucks.
Speak of the devils, they come by to bring up Darby being a young, hot star. Matt is wondering why Darby is letting a leech like Sting take money out of his pocket? Matt has a new idea for a new gimmick. They would be a cool trio.

Hangman Adam Page comes out with a mic to say he can only assume that they are both at the top of the rankings. Page says he will never let Swerve get the title. He is the next world champion, not Swerve.
Swerve has a mic. He laughs heartily, says he has beaten Page twice now. He has nothing to prove. Page is just upset that he cant beat Swerve.
Page says Swerve keeps saying it because maybe if he says it enough, it woul be true. The two times they fought, it took all of Mogul Embassy to beat him. Man to man, when it counts, Swerve cant lace his boots.
Swerve says Page must want suffering or something. He’ll give Page what he wants. Third time. After that, they are done. When he is done with Page, he’s coming for the title.
It is official that the winner of next week gets the title shot.
Joe is chillin at commentary loving all of this .
