He then gets down on the mat and gives a full bow to Nagata. Nagata returns the favor, they bump heads and get up together. Moxley raises up Nagata’s arms and the crowd cheers both wrestlers.
– Backstage, Ortiz, Hager, and Guevara talk to Alex Marvez. Ortiz says Santana got arrested and detained because he used a fork in the match. He says Inner Circle had the match won, but a strange twist of fate at the end got The Pinnacle the win. Guevara and Hager want a rematch. Guevara says to give them a rematch or they will put The Pinnacle in a grave.
Cody Rhodes heads out to the ring for his Double or Nothing announcement. Rhodes says it’s fair to poke fun at things like the election, what to do during an anthem, but he’s always been proud to be an American. He then mentions Anthony Ogogo, who has run down America every chance he gets. Although, he has a visa and makes those green dollars from America. Rhodes says it’s his right to do that though because the argument is what makes us what we are. “Anthony, you didn’t come here to live the English Dream.” Rhodes brings up Ogogo punching him in the midsection. He talks more about America before bringing it back to wanting to face Ogogo at Double or Nothing. Rhodes says Ogogo will not be wrestling “The American Nightmare” it will be “The American Dream.”

Orange Cassidy vs. PAC
Don Callis comes out and tells PAC to hurry up and get this over with so Omega knows who he’s facing! Omega hits PAC with the title from behind as Aubrey Edwards’ attention was on Callis. Edwards with a ten-count and calls the match!
Winner: Double countout
Post-match, Callis says since they don’t have a winner, that means Omega has the night off! Omega feels like they should go on road trip.

Matt continues that Moxley and Kingston should meet up with them at Double or Nothing.
Backstage, Marvez asks Hangman Page about his loss to Brian Cage, and his drop in the rankings. Page says it was bound to happen to lose a match, but it took three guys and a big powerbomb to take him down. Page says he thinks it wasn’t so much as Cage that beat him, it was more like Taz won. He doesn’t think a guy like Cage would actually be happy with a win like that, and actually earn his spot. Page offers up the match happening at Double or Nothing.
The Pinnacle come out for their coronation. The stable is all dressed up and come to the ring with some women by their side. MJF is in a pink suit with acrown on his head. MJF starts with a mic in hand as the crowd boos. MJF says now he’s the demo god and the greatest of all time. He wants everyone to bow to the group. MJF brings up the ratings and said they even did well in Canada, likely due to them having a Canadian hero in their group (Shawn Spears). MJF says Inner Circle is down two guys (Santana and Jericho) and is confused why they would want a rematch. He asks the crowd if they want to see a rematch (they do) and MJF says no.
Tully takes over and says The Pinnacle took everything Inner Circle could give, but at the end Inner Circle was shaking their hands to stop the match. He then reveals a present he gave to the group, a very expensive watch. Inner Circle shows up in a vehicle that has “Little Bit of the Bubbly” on the side. Guevara looks to be manning a hose at the top of the vehicle. MJF tells them they are done with the group! He talked to his lawyer and he’s done! Jericho then climbs up (with his arm in a cast) and asks again if they get a rematch, yes or no? MJF say no!
Jericho says okay then, and has Sammy spray down the group. The Pinnacle flops around as a group as Sammy hoses them down. MJF is mad now and says, if they want a match, how about Double or Nothing! Stadium Stampede! MJF says if Inner Circle loses, then they have to break up forever. Jericho looks on as he ponders that offer, but doesn’t end up saying anything. MJF says to take it or leave it.
Jim Ross does a sit-down interview with Britt Baker. They talk about the last time Baker fought Shida and how she got her nose broken. Baker says you can let something like that beat you or change you. Baker says she’s become the “baddest b**** on the block.” Baker says Shida has created a monster and now has to kill that monster, “but I’m pretty f***ing hard to kill.” We see earlier today during a photo shoot that Baker attacks Shida. Baker says she just thought the current champ should be in the photo, and by that time she’ll have the title, not Shida. Ross thinks it will be a physical match with a lot of urgency. Baker says Shida was champion during a difficult year, and she held down the division. Baker says she is the face and the pulse of the division and she guarantees it.
