He then challenges Men of the Year and American Top Team to a ten-man tag match, as there is nobody crazier than The Inner Circle.

He admits he failed to become AEW's first World Champion after losing to Chris Jericho, then lost to PAC and started losing a lot more, such as his confidence, his friends and himself. It then felt like that the one thing he never lost - and in fact, grew - was the fans that kept chanting "Cowboy Shit," which he considers real, as "Cowboy Shit" was shooting his shot on day one, defending the AEW World Tag Team Champions and letting in new friends. He also says it stands for standing up for those new friends when they stuck their necks out for them, and having the balls to head back home for the birth of his son. Page says that last week, he picked up the phone, put his body on the line, and won a shot at the AEW World Championship in the Casino Battle Royal, saying that when you fall off, you get back on the horse, because that is "cowboy shit."
