Backstage Athena wanted an apology from Billie Starkz after the way she's been acting, then demanded that she lay down and let her win in the 4 way qualifier. Then Athena beat Billie Starkz, Red Velvet and Leyla Hirsch in the 4 way International Women's Cup Qualifier for Wrestle Dynasty Jan 5th. Starkz was about to pin Red Velvet but Athena swooped in for the win as Hirsch was grabbing Starkz's ankle. Good match.

Gates of Agony's Toa Liona beat Lee Johnson. Post-match Liona beat up Johnson, and EJ Nduka made the save.

Backstage Paul Wight was about to talk to Jay Lethal about his future in ROH, then QT Marshall came in and talked some trash and managed to get his match at Final Battle vs Jay Lethal.
