The World Title Eliminator Tournament begins next week!
MJF and Wardlow show up. MJF says everyone is still booing him because they are envious of him, and that he has accomplished more in one year on television than the fans have ever done in their entire lives, then tells them to take their hatred and strap in, as he will be on top for a long time. He then brings out a person who has been on top for the last thirty years and is willing to listen to him speak in the ring: Chris Jericho. Jericho shows up with the rest of The Inner Circle (of whom Sammy Guevara finally has his jacket, which he reluctantly puts on at the behest of Jericho to reveal that the jacket is too big for him), then MJF brings up how Jericho is in good shape and has "luscious, bodacious" hair, then Jericho tells MJF to "cut the shit" and get on with his big announcement. MJF says that he is sensing some hostility, which is the last thing he wants, then says the two biggest minute-for-minute draws are looking each other in the eye right now, and if Jericho is "the Demo God," he is "the ratings ruler." MJF says they have both been on top of their game since AEW started and have vanquished foe after foe to stay on top, but they have never faced each other in the ring, as two piranhas are never seen eating each other for they have mutual respect, and says that he and Jericho are predators. MJF then tells Jericho that their prey is adapting and that they must adapt, too, and proposes that the two of them work together. Jericho asks MJF what he is getting at, and after much hesitation, MJF says he wants to join The Inner Circle. Ortiz stops MJF before he can go any further and tells MJF that The Inner Circle do not want him, but Jericho says that they are a family who makes decisions together and that they need time, then proposes that the two of them meet one-on-one for a steak dinner next week. MJF accepts, and they both shake hands. Santana and Ortiz leave the ring with Jericho and talk with him on the stage while Sammy Guevara and Jake Hager look on, then Guevara and Hager leave the ring not long afterward.
