Cage then claims he will hold every AEW title at the same time. Cage then shifts his focus to Nick Wayne facing “that fatherless weirdo” Kip Sabian on Rampage. Cage then says he will not be there for the match because he doesn’t want to associate himself with bottom feeding losers in Norfolk. Cage then takes issue with something Paquette said and dismisses her, adding that she’s probably a worse mom than she is an interviewer.

Tony Schiavone then introduces HOOK and “The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil” HOOK makes his way down to the ring to address the AEW fans.

Jericho’s music then hits and he makes his way down to the ring alongside Bill and Keith. Jericho says hi to the fans, then says HOOK is stupid for challenging him to a fight tonight. Jericho then tells HOOK he is not getting a fight because it’s not worth his time to fight him tonight. Jericho then says it’s worth his time to fight HOOK at Wembley Stadium at All In, but HOOK must agree that should he lose, it will be his final shot at the FTW Championship and he must beat Big Bill next week. Bill then warns HOOK that he’s going to beat him down and Jericho tells HOOK that he will see him at Wembley Stadium.
