He says that nobody will eat before him before telling Swerve to dance his way to the back of the line, as Swerve's house exists only in his world. Wardlow also says he is tired of the fans chanting for Samoa Joe and hopes that he does face him for the world title because Joe is in his spot, and this time, he will finish the job and beat Joe so badly he will be forced to sit at commentary where he belongs. Wardlow says he is him, has been him, and will always be him, and that he will prove he is still the face of the revolution and AEW's uncrowned king, for this is no longer wrestling; this is war.
