Chris Jericho then shows up on the video screen and tells Moxley that he looked great in the ring tonight before asking him to be a part of The Inner Circle. Jericho then gives Moxley an incentive to join them over anyone else that is more than a black mask or a lock of hair: 49% of The Inner Circle LLC, the position of Executive Vice President of Inner Circle LLC and a brand-new Ford GT. Jericho then tells Moxley to think about how dominant they could be as they take control of AEW and shove their fist so far down "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes' throat that they "pull his pink tie out of his ass," rub Jungle Boy's nose in the fact that Jericho retained the AEW World Championship against him, tie The Young Bucks together in a Christmas bow nobody would want to open and embarrass Kenny Omega to the point that he feels as bad as everyone that lives in Jacksonville, Florida. He tells Moxley that the world can be theirs, then tells Moxley that he looks forward to hearing from him soon. Moxley then gets on the microphone and says that fancy cars aside, he has considered Jericho a friend and a mentor, and out of respect, he will give Jericho his answer in person next week, when the whole world will find out what is in store for 2020.

He then states that nobody in Jacksonville, Florida knows how wordplay works. MJF then addresses "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, saying that the roles have reversed and that Cody needs him, as they are so close to the match that everyone wants and that a few stipulations are the only left keeping the match from happening. MJF then tells Cody that if he wants a match with him, they can have it at Revolution, but if Cody even so much as lays a finger on him, the match will not happen at all. He then says that it is only fair for Cody to go up against an opponent of his choosing and beat him, and that the opponent will be none other than Wardlow. MJF then ups the ante and says that the match with Wardlow will be in a steel cage match, then says that Cody will get down on all fours like the dog that he is so he will whip him with his belt ten times. He then says that as he whips Cody and the flesh comes off his skin, each scar will remind Cody that he is MJF and that he is better than him.

Backstage, Jenn Decker interviews "The Bad Boy" Joey Janela, who says that it is going down tonight and that he is yelling "Timber." He tells Shawn Spears to either move or dance, for tonight is a night Spears won't remember and Janela will be the name Spears won't forget.
Proud 'n Powerful (Santana and Ortiz) beats Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy), TheHybrid2 (Angelico and Jack Evans) and Best Friends (Trent? and Chuckie T) in a four-way tag team match as Ortiz distracts the referee so that Santana can hit everyone else with a flapjack. During the match, Proud 'n Powerful pull out a ladder from underneath the ring, but put it back under the ring when they see Orange Cassidy lying on it.

Jenn Decker interviews PAC. When PAC shows up, he goes back briefly and brings a downed Michael Nakazawa with him before throwing Nakazawa down the ramp, then proceeds to attack him.

PAC tells Kenny Omega that he is sick and tired of being ignored and demands his rubbed match before saying that more attacks will happen. PAC leaps off the second rope, but lands over Nakazawa and tells Kenny Omega that this is his final warning.
Before the next match, Shawn Spears says that Christmas is one week away and that the next match will be the last match of 2019. He asks who is in the holiday spirit, then jokingly asks Tully Blanchard if Santa Claus delivers to Texas. Spears is about to tell a young boy in the front row that Santa Claus isn't real when Joey Janela shows up dressed as Santa Claus. Janela gives the young boy in the front row a high five, then gets in the ring for the next match, which starts with a cheap shot from Spears.
"The Bad Boy" Joey Janela beats Shawn Spears. Near the end of the match, Joey Janela finds Jesus (or at the very least, finds some guy dressed like him) and briefly brings him to ringside.

The Inner Circle shows up and surrounds the ring, then Jericho gets in the ring. He tells the crowd to watch their language when they chant "Fuck him up, Moxley, fuck him up," then tells Moxley to be cool, as The Inner Circle would have already ambushed him if they wanted to and it is just between them. He tells Moxley that The Inner Circle that they are impressed with him and that they are top guy as far as Jericho is concerned, which is not surprising, concerning that they have history together and he asked him for help in his career ten years ago only for the two of them to become adversaries. Jericho tells Moxley that he taught him to become a main eventer and a champion, and when and when Moxley needed to reignite his career, Moxley called him and he navigated Moxley to AEW. He says that Double or Nothing proved that Moxley still had a chip on his shoulder and that Moxley is a winner, then says that Moxley is only beginning to harness the power he has and that he will need him again. Jericho askes Moxley to imagine what it would be like if he joined forces with The Inner Circle, then personally asks him to join. Jericho produces an Inner Circle shirt, then tells Moxley that this will not be an answer he cannot give in one night and to talk it over with his family, enjoy his holidays and then give him an answer then, as the two of them taking control of AEW would be "a true paradigm shift." Jericho tells Moxley to think hard, choose wisely and that The Inner Circle will be waiting for his answer before giving him the shirt. The Inner Circle then head to the back, but not before telling Moxley not to listen to the crowd.

The man kisses the ring, but MJF puts him in the Cross Rhodes, anyway. He then says that Cody is one of the greatest wrestlers of his generations and untouchable with a microphone in his hands, then tells him not to throw rocks at a man with a machine gun and that when his mouth opens, "these bullets don't miss." He then admits he enjoyed Cody's proposal to a match, then says he wants nothing from him as he has enough money to last him a lifetime. MJF then says he wants Cody to suffer, and brings up Cody calling him "a knock-off Chris Jericho," saying it must have taken all night to come up with that line due to his scarf, which some people think is fake. MJF calls it apropos that Cody used the word "fake," because he thinks of Cody when he thinks about the word "fake," and that Cody's "shitty little lisp" is the only thing real about Cody. MJF then dares Cody to fire him, then says Cody won't do it because Cody wants to get his hands on him more than anything else and he would be letting the fans down as they want to see them go at it. After getting the fans fired up for a potential match between them, MJF tells Cody he's on, but he has a couple of stipulations that he won't reveal until next week. MJF then tells Cody that he knows he is backstage, and that he is in control now, not Cody.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes shows up. Cody says his scar is a reminder of failure to gain the AEW World Championship and his inability to challenge for it ever again, and last week was just a big of failure, especially when everyone else is preoccupied when he reaches out for help. As for The Butcher and The Blade, he is familiar with their work and says he could have given them a match if they asked, and that they could even have a match right now. He even gives The Butcher and The Blade the opportunity to pick his tag team partner before responding to MJF's refusal to wrestle him by saying he has to wrestle him, especially when MJF has turned on and mocked him. After several insults, he admits he saw something in him and wanted to make him his protege but was wise to the fact that he was a bad guy. Cody then asks what it will take for MJF to face him, then bets his watch, truck, shoes and over $50,000 on it.

Suddenly, SoCal Uncensored (Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, Scorpio Sky) show up. Scorpio says it is admirable and that it takes "a paragon of virtue" to come out and apologize, and says he has proven that and more, then says Jericho forgot to mention him giving him his first loss with the tag team titles on the line. Scorpio says he partied hard all week, and that not only did his Twitter DMs blow up, but his high school crush Melody is finally going out with him next week. He thanks him, then apologizes for embarrassing him. Jericho says he was not embarrassed, then says that Melody gained a lot of weight since high school. Scorpio says "I like big butts and I cannot lie," then Jericho tells Scorpio he is not even in his league. Jericho then says he will rectify the loss in a match where Scorpio cannot pin him from behind. Daniels says they need time to prepare, but Jericho says that the match will take place next week during his celebration. Frankie Kazarian tells Scorpio Sky not to mention the AEW World Championship out loud in front of Jericho, which results in Jericho making the match officially for the AEW World Championship. Both men shake hands, but Scorpio Sky holds on. Scorpio tells Jericho he has been waiting 15 years for his shot at a world title, and next week, he will turn "Le Champeon" into "Le Bitch." This starts a brawl between SoCal Uncensored and The Inner Circle, who soon show up in force.

He then says he is on a pilgrimage and that he plans to scorch the earth of AEW one body at a time until he is the last man standing, and if anyone wants to face him in the ring, all they have to do is let him know. He then tells any potential challengers to kiss their loved ones goodbye and have an ambulance on speed dial, and states that he wants no apologies afterwards.
The Dark Order (Evil Uno and Stu Grayson) beats Jurassic Express (Marko Stunt and Jungle Boy). After the match, Evil Uno tells Marko Stunt that he shows promise, but he can be a winner and he can show him promise. Evil Uno then tells Marko that all he has to do is be one with The Dark Order.

He says that "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes is not as good as he thinks he is and calls him "an entitled millennial son-of-a-bitch." Suddenly, Cody makes his entrance...or so it seems. Cody's music plays, but it is MJF that shows up, not Cody, much to the amazement of Jericho. MJF says he knows the fans hate him, and says that if he did not throw in the towel for Cody, Cody's career will be over. Nevertheless, people still cheer for Cody, who he calls "a villain." After mocking asking the fans if they like Cody, he then says Cody wouldn't care about them if he tried, and says that he is the only person who knows "the real Cody," who he says is a liar, user and abuser. He also states that he saw potential in him to make him into a puppet by offering to be his mentor, and says all Cody wanted with him was to put him under his thumb. He says Cody's thumb is not big enough to keep him down, as he is the new face of AEW. After telling Cody that he is better than him and that he knows it, he then addresses Jericho, telling him that he is a big fan and that he has heard that Jericho wants him to join The Inner Circle. After some arguing over MJF joining The Inner Circle, Jericho says that he has heard that MJF has wanted to join, and MJF says that while Jericho enjoys "a little bit of the bubbly," he may be drinking too much and that Jericho wanting him is a little odd. Jericho states that the two of them have a lot in common, then asks MJF if he wants to be in The Inner Circle. After another argument over MJF joining The Inner Circle - following a comedic reference to Jericho's feud with Juventud Guerrera in World Championship Wrestling - they both agree that Cody "is the biggest jackass."
