MJF cuts a promo elsewhere and says he sees a bunch of “almost 30-year olds” claiming to be the “next big thing” and says that he is the ACTUAL “next big thing” and no one wants to admit it. MJF says even though he’s only been in the business for a cup of coffee people have started comparing him to legends because of insecurity.
MJF says that all of the wrestlers in AEW are insecure because they realize a 24-year old kid has taken their spot and he has more “it” in his pinky than most have in their entire body. MJF says he isn’t a kid, he isn’t Rock, he isn’t Flair because he is something that wrestling has never seen before. MJF says he can miss as many shows as he wants because he knows that when he does come back to work his spot is going to be right where he left it on the throne. Someone walks up and places a throne behind him. MJF says next week he sits back on his throne.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
Shawn Spears blames Cody Rhodes for what happened to Dustin Rhodes last week – at the hands of Lance Archer – and says that he would do anything to protect his own brother but Cody didn’t do that. He says that Cody had the power to stop it all and asks why that is. He suggests that Cody didn’t stop Archer because he is selfish and thinks he is the only one that can carry on the Rhodes legacy.
Spears and MJF are ringside gambling once again as Wardlow looks on. MJF mocks all the guys that have been wrestling the last few weeks and says that everyone should be looking forward to finally seeing a real wrestler like him again next week. MJF applauds Spears for telling everyone who the real Cody Rhodes is. Schiavone announces that MJF will face Jungle Boy at Double or Nothing which sends MJF into a frenzy.

The Dark Order hits the ring and attacks Moxley. SCU runs out to try and help but they get destroyed, too. Dark Order slams Daniels on the ramp and #10 hits a big Spinebuster on Scorpio Sky. Brodie Lee finally walks out and brains Daniels with a chair shot and then he hits a Spinning Lariat on Moxley.
Lee says that he is here to answer the bounty that Moxley put on his own head last week. He says there is no crowd to save him or energy to lift him up right now. Lee says this is the energy that he feels now as he points to the Dark Order members. Lee says he is not the same person that used to look eye-to-eye with Moxley in the past and he is a leader now.
Lee says that anyone of his Dark Order members will stand up and sacrifice themselves for him. He says that Moxley is the unfortunate soul to come into possession with something he wants as he looks down at the AEW Title. Lee says that he needs that title and he challenges Moxley to defend it against him. Lee says he doesn’t know if Moxley is a man or if he is just a scared fatherless boy from Cincinnati. He tells him to answer his challenge or they will make him.
Moxley says all he had to do was ask and then laughs at him as he crawls on the mat before Lee kicks him in the face. The rest of the members jump on Moxley again and beat him down.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—
