In footage from earlier today, Jim Ross interviews Kenny Omega. Omega says that Don Callis was an old friend of his real uncle, The Golden Sheik, and says that while he could never have a normal life because of Callis, Callis molded him into a great athlete. He says that while one can pick their friends, one cannot pick their family, and that he just wants to move on from Don Callis. He also says that he and Konosuke Takeshita go way back, and says that Takeshita is one that should be molded properly, then says that as "The God of Pro Wrestling," he can give, but he can also take away, and he can take Takeshita away from Callis. Suddenly, Kenny Omega shows up and interrupts the interview, calling Jim Ross Omega's therapist. When Omega confronts Callis, he is attacked from behind by "Switchblade" Jay White and "Rock Hard" Juice Robinson. Afterwards, we hear from "Hangman" Adam Page, who says that if one is going to start a beatdown, one should finish it, and that at All In, he and Kota Ibushi will help Kenny Omega finish it.
Don Callis is in the ring, where he introduces Chris Jericho. After the commercial break, Callis and Jericho talk about what happened last week. Jericho then says that he does not join factions; he creates them. He then tells Callis that he will join his family, and says that he must get back to his roots with a man who is low as he is and regain the AEW World Championship after The Jericho Appreciation Society walked out on him.Callis then tells Jericho to follow him to the bar, but Jericho mentions the covered picture in the corner. When Jericho uncovers the painting, it is a painting of Callis holding Jericho's severed head. Jericho confronts Callis over the painting, thinking that Callis did not expect him to join him. Callis says the painting was a mistake, but Jericho demands the truth out of Callis. Callis admits he did not think Jericho would say yes because of his massive ego. Callis says that Jericho has always made everything all about him, and calls him the greatest of egomaniac and "a narcissistic egomaniac who does not know what is good for him" and undeserving of joining the Don Callis family. Jericho mentions that three years ago, Callis was not part of the business and nobody cares, and that Callis has lost everything and messed up every personal relationship in his life because he is a low-life, a worm, a piece of trash and "an asshole." Callis slaps Jericho, but Jericho chokes Callis in the corner. Konosuke Takeshita shows up with a chair, but Jericho sees it coming and beats up Takeshita. Suddenly, Will Ospreay runs into the ring and hits Jericho with a Judas Effect. Ospreay then hits Jericho with the chair, and Jericho is busted open as Ospreay and Takeshita hold Jericho down so that he can hit Jericho with the painting. Suddenly, Sammy Guevara shows up with a bat and chases Callis, Ospreay and Konosuke out of the ring.

After that, he found out about All In in 2018 and shot his shot, sending a message to Cody saying he wanted to take part on the show. He then got a message days before the show saying he was in, and while he opened a show he had no business being on, he also turned some heads and got some attention which lead to him to signing an AEW contract.

He then says that All In is back and that he will be in the main event against a dream opponent turned best friend in front of the biggest crowd in AEW history, and states that while this means a lot to him, it does not mean everything to him. MJF says the AEW World Championship is what means everything to him, as it represents everything he has missed and everything he has ever put the work into to get to where he is now, and that Adam Cole is out of his mind if he thinks he will lay down for him.

He then says it will take more than a pandemic to stop him, and if Ospreay wants a match with him, they will have it at All In and he will have Ospreay drink his own blood, for he has never faced anyone like him and he will get in his head and embarrass him in front of everyone. He says that Ospreay has no idea what he has gotten himself into and that he will be coming for him.
