He then says that for the first time in 34 years, he can say that he is not alone, because he has the fans, whom he thanks for their support. Morrissey says he was given a second chance and people gave him opportunities, and he plans to make the most of them.

He then says everybody is talking about Eddie Edwards, and says there he is the only man in professional wrestling who needs to be acknowledge, because there would be no Eddie Edwards without him. Moose says that he has the special ability to change people's entire worlds for the worse forever, and calls what happened to "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and Matt Cardona after he beat them proof of that and asks who knows what kind of spiral W. Morrissey will go down. As Moose says that he has the power to turn people's worlds upside down, Heath shows up and asks Moose if he thinks everything is a joke, saying Eddie Edwards was "a big piece of the Impact puzzle" and that Impact is at war. Heath says he busted his ass to get to Impact and got there, and while he may have been injured and out for a whole year, Impact and the fans both stuck by him, and if he has to stand tall and help Impact alone, he will do it, as Impact's leader is doing nothing. Moose says Heath has only been here for "a cup of tea" and asks him what he was doing for the last month and at No Surrender when Honor No More wreaked havoc, and Heath asks Moose if he has heard of COVID protocols. Heath says he has tested negative, and that since he and W. Morrissey are done with their feud, he wants to face Moose for the Impact World Championship so the fans will have a champion who will stand up for their company. Moose asks Heath if he was paying attention earlier, as he does not care if he goes down a downward spiral because of him, the war between Impact Wrestling and Honor No More, and his family. Heath punches Moose, and the two men brawl until Heath puts him down. Backstage, Rich Swann, Chris Sabin, Rhino and Willie Mack meet with Heath to take down Eddie Edwards.

Rich Swann confronts Eddie as Eddie makes his way to the ring. After the commercial break, Scott D'Amore has to lead Team Impact to the back. Eddie Edwards says he can see the anger and betrayal in everyone's eyes and that they are right to feel that way, but wrong to blame him. He says he has known Honor No More for a long time and came up in the business with most of them, but that is now what they joined them. He says he felt betrayed when ROH went on a hiatus, as he felt what they did for ROH meant nothing. Eddie also says that this is not why he joined Honor No More, either. He says it is not about one time, one place or one company, and that they have identified a corruption and cancer of dishonor within the business and Impact Wrestling. He says that two years ago, the world changed and Impact was forced to change with it by opening doors that had been closed for a very long time by allowing people from other companies to wrestle in Impact, and he was for it because he believed in what Impact did. Eddie says he kept that faith when Kenny Omega came to the company, then lost that faith when Rich Swann lost the Impact World Championship to Kenny Omega and Impact failed to see what was in front of their faces. He says he waited patiently for his shot at the World title as Sami Callihan failed to win the title and Moose failed to do his job, but when the time came to choose who would restore honor, they chose "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and not him. Eddie says it was at that moment that Impact Wrestling "truly had honor no more," and Impact had zero faith in him and he had no choice but to listen what Honor No More had to say. He says he did not turn his back on Impact; instead, Impact ripped the heart out of itself with the decisions they made along the way, as he gave everything to Impact and got nothing in return. He then says he did not think he would be here in one or two years, but anything is possible. Suddenly, Alisha Edwards shows up and chides Eddie for joining Honor No More instead of asking Impact for forgiveness. Eddie tells Alisha that she was there for him and saw what happened, but Alisha tells Eddie she taught her to keep faith and that those who got opportunities at Omega deserved them. Alisha says she knows Eddie wanted to be the man to do it, but Josh Alexander was the man to get the job done. She tells Eddie to stop bitching and celebrate with their real family, but Eddie says Honor No More is his family now. Alisha asks what that makes her, but Eddie says that is up to her as he did not turn his back on anyone and is walking out on those who turned their backs on him.
