He then says he has someone to talk to, and he knows who he is. Jimmy Uso heads to the ring and thanks Jey for what he did on SmackDown, as they need to be together to take down The Bloodline, as they are "not the ones." Jey says they are "not the ones," either, and the last time he saw him, they were fighting each other. He says that a lot has happened and that people who know they are now that they are on their own, but no championships top being Jimmy's brother. Jey says they need to fix things, but if they do this, they will be themselves, not stooges or side pieces.

Sami has to get between Jey and Roman and say that Jey did not mean what he said as he has gone through a lot and has not been himself and has not been "very Ucey." Roman smiles, and Jey Uso is really trying not to corpse as Roman says that if Jey cannot find his "inner Ucey" again, he is going to do something Jey is not gonna like.

When Moose tosses Eddie out of the ring, however, Eddie fights back. Eddie and Moose take their fight to the stage, and multiple members of security have to break up the brawl. Moose returns to the ring, then says he knows he has done a lot of bad things to get to where he is today, including breaking the neck of a man he once called his best friend, and at Bound For Glory, he did the worst yet. He says he took everything "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander worked to get right out of his hands in front of his wife and child, then says he has no sympathy, because he has the Impact World Championship, which makes him the greatest champion in professional wrestling. He says it does not matter how elite someone is, what tribe someone is chief to or if someone is the boss, the man, a woman, a king, the queen, or if someone adds a new day to the week, because he is the greatest champion in professional wrestling. Moose then tells anyone who thinks that what he has done to get the World title is vile, evil and despicable, then they should imagine what he is capable of doing to keep it. As Moose looks to the stage to send a message to the locker room, he is German suplexed by Josh Alexander, and Moose flees into the crowd.

Backstage, Steve Maclin tells Trey Miguel that he has not beaten him and that nobody has, and that Trey has what he wants and is owed to him: the X Division Championship.

Suddenly, Matt Cardona shows up wanting to get his hands on Moose, and Eddie Edwards shows up wanting Moose, too. D'Amore says Josh Alexander wants Moose, too, and puts them and Josh in a six-man tag match against Moose and two others of Moose's choice, assuming there isn't any bridges that Moose. Suddenly, D'Amore has to stop Josh Alexander from putting his hands on referee Brian Hebner for calling for the bell with his family in the ring, and tells him of the six-man tag team match. He also tells Alexander he wants to see him as the face of the company and that after he proves Christian wrong on not being championship material, he should not prove Christian right on having out of control emotions and tells him to do it for his family.

She thanks Deonna Purrazzo for giving her the greatest match of her life and the hardest match she has ever fought, and while Deonna wants a rematch, nobody has heard from her since Bound For Glory. She then says that this is okay, because she has seen the competition in Impact Wrestling and knows there are a lot of women who want to tie up with her. Mickie says she welcomes the opportunity and that she is excited about the future. Suddenly, Madison Rayne and Kaleb with a K show up, and Madison welcomes Mickie back to Impact Wrestling, calling her a pillar and cornerstone of the Knockouts Championship alongside Gail Kim and Awesome Kong. She then says that she may not get the credit for what she has done for Impact and the Knockouts division, and that while Mickie has played in any playground that will welcome her, she has stayed in Impact the whole time. Mickie reminds Madison that she left and came back three times, then Madison tells Mickie not to get used to being Knockouts Champion when she defends it against her next week. Mickie accepts the challenge, then tells Madison to bring "her photographer" Kaleb with her so he can get a clean shot of her standing over Madison as Knockouts Champion. Kaleb tells Mickie thinks she is funny when she is stupid, and that she has half a mind to knock the smile off of her face. Mickie immediately slaps Kaleb before holding up the Knockouts Championship as Kaleb and Madison walking away.

We hear from Jon Moxley, who says he has defended the AEW World Championship with everything he had to make it the top title in the sport, but at Full Gear, he will not only defending the title, he will be weaponing it against a "miserable, excuse-making son-of-a-bitch" in Eddie Kingston, as he says AEW is for those who put in the work. He says that Kingston will have nobody to blame when he makes him quit and crush his skull, windpipe and ego just like he does everyone else.

Before the next match, Eddie Kingston wants a fight, but since Jon Moxley is not here because "he is a coward," he will fight Matt Sydal for trying to steal his thunder in the Casino Battle Royal, which he says he was never eliminated from, and hopes Jon Moxley is watching from home.

Matt says The Young Bucks are good people, but good people sometimes do bad things, and while they regret their recent actions, they have been suffering and they feel that something is missing as FTR are messing with their friends and their livelihoods. Matt then says it was a killer instinct that was brought back up by FTR, and he hopes FTR are ready. FTR then leave, saying Excalibur does not need or deserve them for the interview.

MJF tells Jericho they have the same goals, and that they will get "a whole lot of green and a whole lot of gold." "The Librarian" Peter Avalon asks if he can join The Inner Circle. The Inner Circle and MJF both laugh at Avalon, with Jericho saying there is no chance. Suddenly, Eric Bischoff makes a surprise appearance and a three-pronged question asks MJF what he can do for The Inner Circle. MJF simply answers "Friendship." Bischoff then asks MJF what he believes The Inner Circle can do for him, and MJF says that he is a total package and is able to humbly accept that he is not the best team player, but that he could learn how to be from The Inner Circle. Bischoff then calls Jericho "a primadonna," and after Schiavone tells Jericho to "shut up," mentions that MJF shares the primadonna qualities as Jericho and asks how he is supposed to know that the two of them will not end up killing each other if MJF joins The Inner Circle. MJF addresses the constant jeering he is getting, and Jericho tells MJF to answer the question. MJF tells Jericho he has done everything for him, including giving him the best segment of Jericho's career and in all of professional wrestling, then asks Jericho what he hasn't done. Jericho says "You haven't beaten me...but I'll give you a chance to do that." Jericho proposes a one-on-one match between the two of them at Full Gear, and if MJF wins, he will allow MJF to join The Inner Circle. MJF, knowing this is a big opportunity for him, says he will do anything to win. Jericho says he expects nothing left, but MJF stresses the word "anything." Ortiz tells MJF to shut up and says that he, Sammy Guevara and Ortiz do not want him in The Inner Circle and that he does not have a shot at joining them just because Jericho is entertaining him.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for October 28, 2017

"The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian says that Jay Lethal has a case of "boo-boo face" after he cost him a shot at the ROH World Championship, and now he has earned a victory at the Honor Rumble while Lethal has earned a thrashing. "The Almighty" Christopher Daniels says that he and Kazarian are going to bullshit all over everything people love about wrestling, and that they are going to do the same to whatever Lethal wants to do, too.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes guests on commentary for the next match.

The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, TK O'Ryan) show up with Taven and Marseglia carrying signs reading "Conspiracy!" before the next match. When Jonathan Gresham shows up, he rips one of the signs out of their hands and throws it out of the ring.

Jonathan Gresham beats TK O'Ryan by disqualification. During the match, The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) show up to even the odds, but they are ejected, as are Matt Taven and Vinny Marseglia. After this, O'Ryan shoves the referee, but the referee shoves back and O'Ryan shortly falls victim to an ankle lock submission. Marseglia drags the referee out of the ring during a bridge pin, and this leads to The Kingdom (Taven, O'Ryan, Marseglia) rushing into the ring to stomp Gresham. Ending the match, Sabin and Shelley run back in to clear the ring out.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes announces that now that he is a company man, he will right some of the wrongs in Ring of Honor, one of which is an upstart who looked for an opportunity a few weeks ago. He feels like defending the ROH World Championship, and says he will do just that against the upstart: Scorpio Sky. Sky bends down and kisses Cody's ring, then starts the match with a schoolboy pin for a near-fall.
