Both of them want to go beyond being indie stars, and they were doing well until the pandemic hit.

Callis says that Revolution went according to plan, save for the ring exploding, and says that he and Omega have taken a lot of heat for not giving the fans what they wanted, then refuses to confirm or deny if he and Omega had anything to do with that before saying that it made them happy to took away what the fans wanted as well as Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston's moment when they made history. He then says that whether the ring blew up or not, they win no matter what. Omega says he got goosebumps trying to picture Moxley getting vaporized, but he says it is just as sweet to have the memory of embarassing him in the middle of the ring and leaving him like the loser that he is. As he mocks Eddie Kingston running into the ring to protect him, Eddie Kingston shows up. Callis says he had Kingston working for him in Impact because he saw the potential in him, then fired him he did the same thing in Impact that he has done his whole life: screw things up when he came close to the brass ring. He then makes fun of his laying on top of Moxley to protect him at the end of Revolution, then gives him a chance to leave with what is left of his pride and gives him ten seconds to leave before he gets beaten up. Omega and Callis then make fun of the countdown before Omega asks Kingston what he hopes to accomplish when he has two other guys who can kick his ass. Omega then gives Kingston a free shot, saying Kingston will not do it, but Kingston punches him out. As The Good Brothers attack Kingston, Jon Moxley gets in the ring to even the odds.

The Inner Circle heads to the ring for their war council. Chris Jericho says that when any great army needs to change their course in the middle of battle, they have a war council to decide the best possible way to continue on in the combat, and says The Inner Circle has been in decline as of late, yet it can be easily remedied for they are the smartest in the business today. He says it is time for a new attitude and outlook, and maybe time to introduce a new member into The Inner Circle. MJF says they do not need to add a new member, and says that maybe they should let someobody go. Suddenly, Sammy Guevara shows up and says that while he is the last person Jericho wants to see right now, he has something that Jericho needs to see. We see a video where Guevara sets up a camera, and the footage fast forwards to MJF entering the room and talking to Santana, Ortiz and Jake Hager, saying that the four of them should give Chris Jericho "a nice little dirt nap." MJF says he did not want Jericho to find out this way, then sics Santana, Ortiz and Hager on Jericho only for the three of them to turn on MJF. Jericho says they were all waiting for this to happen, then shoves him to the corner of the ring before firing him from The Inner Circle and giving him a beatdown. MJF tries to beg Jericho off, saying he did not want to take over the group because he was too busy building his own. The lights go out, and when they come back on, FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler), Wardlow, Shawn Spears and Tully Blanchard are behind The Inner Circle.
