Chris Jericho shows up. He announces that he is still AEW World Champion - much to the chagrin of the fans in attendance tonight - and says that he is still the greatest of all time. Jericho demands a "thank you" from every single member of the AEW roster and offices, as well as from "people that matter" and not "jackasses from Nashville," as he has defeated everyone AEW has put in front of him. 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." Cody suddenly shows up, and despite two production agents telling him not to do anything, Cody runs into the ring and fights both Jericho and MJF. Suddenly, Cody is attacked from behind by Wardlow, who makes his first appearance after months of vignettes. After Wardlow slams Cody into the mat, he then chokes Cody with his tie - which shares the same design as MJF's scarf - and hangs him on the ring apron with it by command of MJF, and referees have to rush in to get Wardlow to stop.
