The build-up to the highly-anticipated six-man tag match pitting Kenny Omega and The Good Brothers against Rich Swann and The Motor City Machine Guns continued on IMPACT Wrestling with the current AEW Champion and his partners assaulting their opponents.

Earlier on the show, the face trio warned Omega and Good Brothers that they could not own things here in IMPACT Wrestling. Chris Sabin was particularly intense when he said that the company had been built on the shoulders of guys like him, Swann, and Shelly.

Omega has fully embraced his heel side, and he came across as an arrogant, entitled, and unlikable character. Scott D'Amore, too, was present when the trio unleashed the assault outside the bus.

It was later announced that Karl Anderson would face IMPACT Champion Rich Swann for the title next week, with all the other members barred from the ringside. Though a title change is out of the question, it can prove to be a decent preview for the eventual six-man clash, with all the men getting involved in some manner.
