During a backstage interview, Carmello Hayes says tonight is a big opportunity for him. He’s competing for the title match of his choice. No one else can say that. Hayes doesn’t believe himself to be an underdog. If anything. he’s the overdog. Anyone who says this is too much, too soon doesn’t understand how much work he put into this. Hayes puts over his opponent tonight, Oddessy Jones. Hayes says at the end of the road you’ll see him with championship gold.
Backstage, Indi Hartwell says she couldn’t be happier with her engagement to Dexter Lumis. When McKenzie asks if they set a date, Lumis hands her an invite that says they are getting married on Sept 14th, 2021
