On the men's side, the Grizzled Young Veterans and MSK have advanced to the finals and will now face each other on the supercard. This came following MSK's victory over Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza of Legado Del Fantasma early in the evening, before GYV put the new team of Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher away in the main event, with the two sides arguing over the trophy as the angle drew to a close.

Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon are the new women's finalists. They defeated The Way's Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell to earn this shot, which puts them opposite Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez on Sunday night. Kai and Gonzalez had already qualified for the bout after beating Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter last week.
