Jon Moxley shows up for the first time since losing the AEW World Championship. He says that everyone is expecting him to curse up a storm and complain about his title loss, but he says that this is a cruel and unforgiving sport and that one can be on the bad end of a bad duel, and all one can do it take it on the chin, and until then, you plant your feet in the ground, grit your teeth, stare adversity in the eye and never back down. Moxley says he is not going anywhere, and as for Kenny Omega and Don Callis (the latter of whom he says looks like a used car salesman), he says that he sees things in black and white and he has zero tolerance for "shitty people," and that he should beat Omega and Callis to death with a bloody crowbar. He says that tonight, the AEW World Championship that he fought to protect the integrity of is on the line, and Rey Fenix has clawed and scratched with reckless abandon for thirteen years to get a shot. Moxley then says it is not his place to mess with another man's destiny, then tells Omega that he will never be safe and that he will get even and then some, for when he says he will do something, he will do it, and for when he has a responsibility, he will uphold it, and for when he makes a commitment, he sees it through no matter how long it takes, as he will be in Omega's blind spot and lurking over his shoulder like the Boogeyman and Omega will one day look in the eyes of the Devil and beg for mercy when he realizes that he crossed the wrong guy.
