- Back from the commercial, Renee is interviewing Darby Allin and Jack Perry. Both men apologize for the words they exchanged last week but agree that they should respect each other. Perry wishes him good luck. Darby says that if it was them wrestling, he would have just beat Jack again.

Both men exchange holds again. Jeff gets the upper hand and again goes for his strut. The pace quickens as Dax gets the advantage but is quickly cut off by the veteran. Double J hits the strut as the crowd goes mild. Dax takes advantage of the posturing, but once again, Jeff is quick to get the advantage.

During the commercial break, both men brawl on the outside. Dax prevents Double J from using a chair. Back in the ring, Double J hits a middle rope running senton. He hits the strut again. Taz remarks that Jeff Jarett has been doing this for 6,000 years. Double J hits the sleeper hold, Dax gets out. Jeff Jarrett goes for the Figure 4, Dax counters with a Roll-Up. That would occur two more times throughout the match. Dax lays out Double J with a Lariat. Apron Suplex attempt from Harwood is prevented as Sonjay Dutt appears out of nowhere and pulls his leg.
