The Natural was set to defend the ROH Six Man Tag Team Championships alongside The Von Erichs against Shane Taylor Promotions. However, he suffered multiple injuries during his match against Kyle Fletcher on AEW Collision a few weeks prior. Following that, Rhodes underwent double knee replacement surgery.

This led to Tony Khan announcing before the show that Rhodes would not be competing at the show and was replaced by Sammy Guevara.
