Repairs
Jessie Vega was backstage in mid-conversation with Maria Estrella. Estrella wondered what she was doing wrong to upset Kami King and Vega assured her she did nothing wrong, noting that she herself had once acted poorly to Estrella. Vega regretted her actions, lamenting that if she had acted the way she had, she and Estrella would still be friends. Estrella took Vega’s hand, smiled, and said they still could be. Vega smiled back just as Kimberly Kennedy stepped in for a scheduled interview with Vega. Vega wished Estrella well in her match against King later in the night.
Kennedy congratulated Vega on her victory against Shannon Worth last week and asked Vega how she felt being back in the ring. Vega began to say how happy she was with her performance when she was interrupted by an angry Worth. Worth grabbed Vega by the collar of her leather jacket and demanded another match, calling their match a fluke, and promising to put Vega in a world of hurt. Claudia Winter intervened and calmed down Worth, promising to work something out.

Ready for Action

Kennedy told Arcane that the fans were behind him and believe in him, but John Austin Baker is on a warpath and asked how he felt about his match against Baker at Bleeding Edge. Arcane said that Baker is more dangerous than he has ever been, he has been hurting people, and Arcane has no doubt Baker expects to inflict pain while trying to take the MoW Championship. Arcane shook his head and said Baker is just one in a long list of people who tried to snuff him out but despite all of it, Arcane is standing as MoW Champion. Arcane said he expects brutality but when it is all over, he will still be the MoW Champion.
Preston Montgomery and Pierre Laurent vs. Balance and Ridge
