Callis then states that they are a family at the end of the day, then states that the family succeeds by listening to what he wants, saying there is no I in team, but an I in family. Callis says that he and Takeshita built the family off the ashes of Kenny Omega's career, and while Takeshita may be the first one, he can be the last out. He tells Takeshita to put his ego aside and shake Okada's hand. He also tells Takeshita that this is not about his ego, but his honor, as Takeshita is hesitant.
