Moose heads to the ring. Moose says that he is the #1 contender to the Impact World Championship, and that while Kenny Omega has beaten a lot of good wrestlers, none of them can lace up his boots even after he dominated the NFL for seven years. He also says that he respects the fact that Omega calls himself "the god of professional wrestling" while he himself is a wrestling god and that the best wrestling matches are clashes of titans. He says that none of the Greek gods could knock Zeus off Mount Olympus, and dares Omega to knock him off the top of the mountain when Omega suddenly arrives with Don Callis. Don Callis tells Kenny Omega that Moose might be the most physically talented people in all of wrestling, and says that while Moose is both large and talented, he has no results. Callis also asks Moose if he is "paying the rent" on his talent or coasting off past success, and Moose warns Callis that he is not Rich Swann and that he will rip his head off and shove it up Omega's ass. Omega tells Moose he is not afraid to put him in his place and that it will take one One-Winged Angel to put his lights out, and Moose dares him to try. Doc Gallows suddenly shows up and Omega says that if Moose messes with him, he messes with The Elite. Suddenly, Sami Callihan teleports into the ring, and he and Moose clear the ring.
