Lita was shown to preview the Iron Survivor Qualifying Matches for tonight.
North American Champion Dominik Mysterio & Baron Corbin spoke backstage & Corbin promised to take out Wes Lee to help Mysterio tonight.
Heritage Cup Champion Noam Dar welcomes fans to Supernova Sessions then says tonight is a special night because the world will get to watch Lash Legend qualify for the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge. He points out his chained up Heritage Cup and introduces Alpha Academy & they make their way down to the ring.
Dar says Alpha Academy has already achieved lots together but being so close to the Heritage Cup is perhaps the most amazing thing they’ve been able to do so far. Chad Gable thanks Dar for inviting Alpha Academy onto Supernova Sessions then says that he’s lucky to still have his Heritage Cup after successfully defending it against Akira Tozawa last week. Jakara Jackson says luck has nothing to do with it because Dar is simply the greatest Heritage Cup Champion there is and Dar says that while Tozawa came close to winning this is his game. Tozawa says that the Heritage Cup would be his if Meta 4 hadn’t been present at ringside and Legend says her and her teammates did nothing wrong. Otis says whatever Legend says is good in his book and Legend calls for security.
Dar tries to get things back on track by suggesting that they stick to the topic of his Heritage Cup and Tozawa says that the cup isn’t his. Oro Mensah tells Tozawa to stick to TikTok dances and Maxxine Dupri tells Mensah not to speak to him that way. Jackson says Mensah can do whatever he wants. Gable interjects and says Dar’s name has become synonymous with the Heritage Cup. Dar says that no one can beat him and NXT had to do a Global Tournament to find him an opponent. Gable says that sounds tough and says he’ll make his life a little easier because he thinks he’s found his next challenger as Otis steps up. Dar says he sees what’s happening, and says if he understands if his challenger wants to fight him for the Heritage Cup next week instead of tonight. He accepts the challenge, and asks for more information about said challenger. Alpha Academy hypes him up as they continue to imply that the challenger is Otis but they mention that he’s an Olympian and a former NXT, Raw and Smackdown Tag Team Champion.
As it becomes clearer that the group is no longer referring to Otis, Dar starts to freak out and looks for a way to get out of the match. Gable clarifies that he’s the next challenger for the Heritage Cup and Dar looks to take a shot at him. Gable sees him coming and executes a headbutt on him.
