IMPACT Wrestling (5/18/2023).
- X-Division Champion Trey Miguel def. Laredo Kid
- After the match, Miguel talked trash about the Chicago crowd before saying that he would take IMPACT Wrestling hostage until he gets the respect he deserves as a talent & Champion. After the commercial break, Chris Sabin confronted Trey Miguel to tell him that the only way to get respect is by giving it back. Miguel said that he did not want to be lectured, to which Sabin responded by saying that he would humble Miguel on Under Siege after he beats him for the X-Division Title.
- Jai Vidal talked to Trinity backstage, with Vidal telling Trinity that the selfie taken last week got Vidal in trouble with Gisele Shaw. Trinity told Vidal to inform Shaw to face her next week, but Vidal informed Trinity that Shaw was cleared to compete next week. After this, Trinity told Vidal to inform Shaw about the Open Contract for Under Siege.

- Jordynne Grace was interviewed by Gia Miller, with Grace saying that she wanted to beat Knockout's CHampion Deonna Purrazzo clean and make it without a doubt that she earned it, but she was interrupted by Alisha Edwards, who said that Grace attacking Purrazzo was not an accident before telling her to keep lying to herself.
