In a pre-taped promo, Kurt Angle is holding his gold medal and talks about how good it is to have it back. This gold medal represents the best he can be and he lost sight of that recently. He wants Brian Pillman to know there is no bad blood between them, because Pillman helped him to rededicate to the three I’s of intensity, intelligence and integrity. And the three I’s will lead him to the WCW World Heavyweight Title. It’s true, it’s damn true.

The Garvin Brothers (Terry and Jimmy) defeated the American Males (Buff Bagwell and Scotty Riggs) by pinfall of Jimmy on Riggs via double team brainbuster at 7:59.

In a pre-taped promo, Magnum TA talks about how he’s not done with Dusty Rhodes yet, nor his flunky Ronnie Garvin. He didn’t ask for the Garvin Brothers to come out at Slamboree, but he’s glad for the assistance. Just like him, they’re tired of living in the shadow of a liar looking out for only himself.

Rhea Ripley debuts in ring by defeating Sara Del Rey by pinfall via Riptide at 3:21.
-----
In a pre-taped promo, Lady Frost talks about being down, but not out. She’s been to the top of the mountain once and she can do it again with or without a Money in the Bank briefcase. If it’s Charlotte Flair, Thunder Rosa, Tessa Blanchard, Mickie James; whoever she has to go through, she will. She’s not going to let it go.
