If you reject it, well, we put a beating on you like we did with Swerve.

Darby Allin—I had high hopes for you, but you are a disappointment. Maybe it’s time for you all to stop playing at the thing you want people to think you take seriously!”

Kyle O’Reilly was watching the match backstage on a monitor.
Cole offered his hand to Black, but Black grabbed Cole and they embraced.
Cole: “Who’s ready for story time with Adam Cole baybay? First of all, Malakai Black, you are one of the very best that I’ve fought in my 16 year career, so thank you. But there’s someone else I want to talk to, and his name is Max.
“That’s two down and one more to go. Roderick Strong still has to win two more matches. Trust me when I say we are going to win those matches. Everyone is probably asking what if I get three wins and Roddy gets three wins, what happens at Full Gear? I talked to Tony Khan, and he said when we get three wins, at Full Gear it’ll be Adam Cole versus MJF and Roderick Strong in a Triple Threat Match!
“And Max, you’ll get the ass-kicking of a lifetime courtesy of the Undisputed Kingdom, baybay!”
MJF was watching from an undisclosed location and called someone on his phone.
MJF: “Yeah, I need you to pay someone a visit!”

I’m going to dismantle you and embarrass you at Full Gear! At Full Gear the Hangman breathes with the Switchblade once more and that leg will be your downfall once more and maybe I’ll be the first to make the Hangman tap out!”
Renee Paquette was backstage with Kris Statlander to ask her about her match against TBS Champion & NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion “The CEO” Mercedes Moné at Full Gear!
“The Brickhouse” Kamille tried to run over Kris with an SUV, but Kamille missed, escaping serious injury! Kris grabbed Kamille and got some revenge before retaliating against Mercedes, leaving both Kamille and Mercedes on the pavement!
Christian Cage came to the ring with Mother Wayne, Nick Wayne, and Kip Sabian! Christian had security stationed on the ramp!
Christian: “The security is for everybody’s protection. I want a chance to explain myself when Hook comes out here. But first I want to welcome Kip Sabian to the Patriarchy. Kip was just trying to get my attention. Much like you he’s a fatherless loser just looking for some guidance.
“Kip Sabian had the foresight to realize if I signed this contract, the Death Riders would have interfered. Because of Kip Sabian, I stand here as the next undisputed AEW World Champion. And in that moment, Kip, you did more for me than any of my other sons have ever done. I love you, Kip.”
Hook walked onto the ramp!
Hook: “Whatever it is you have to say, make it good and make it fast because I don’t have much patience.”
Christian: “You’re a wild card Hook. You’re a problem. You’re a bull in a China shop. Hook, I need a son like you, but I had to make sure you could be disciplined. But I needed to make sure you didn’t have another voice in your ear and that voice was Taz. So it was from a place of caring that I took your father out with a lead pipe.
“But he saw my face. Why didn’t he just tell you that it was me? It’s simple. Your father realized I could take you to heights that even he can’t imagine. Your father got to the big leagues and hid at the announcers’ table. Do you want to be like him or like me? Right now I’m regretting my decision to not take things with Taz a little further. Because nobody cares if he’s alive. I need you, Hook. I wish your father was dead!”
Hook charged through the security, but the Patriarchy escaped! Hook stared daggers at Christian Cage!
Alex Marvez was backstage with Don Callis, interviewing him about “The Machine” Brian Cage and “The MurderHawk Monster” Lance Archer’s dominant performances of late!
Callis: “No more fifty-fifty.”
Someone approached Don Callis, and the person played a message from MJF on their iPhone. MJF had a mission for the Don Callis Family. Callis looked at an envelope of cash and MJF’s Dynamite diamond ring and laughed as he walked off!
Penelope Ford vs. Jamie Hayter!
Penelope grounded and pounded Jamie Hayter. Hayter back dropped Penelope, planting her on the back of her neck. Penelope connected with a back handspring into an elbow strike. Penelope dropkicked Jamie for a near fall.
Jamie dodged a moonsault attempt. Hayter hit a brain buster! Penelope ducked a cutter and countered with a Matrix stunner.
“Penelope has not lost a step,” said Nigel.
Hayter drilled Penelope with the Hayter Ade, wiping Penelope out and pinning her!
The Don Callis Family’s “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher & AEW International Champion Konosuke Takeshita
vs.
Ricochet & A Mystery Partner!
Ricochet: “You two morons made a mistake the moment you allowed me to pick anyone in AEW as my tag team partner. I did some digging and as of October 4th of this year, a certain someone’s contract with the Don Callis Family has expired. He’s upset because he feels you forgot about him. Let me introduce you to my partner…”
Out walked…Powerhouse Hobbs!
