In-Ring: CM Punk, Daniel Garcia, 2point0, Darby Allin, Sting

When we return from the break, we hear the opening notes of Cult of Personality as Punk makes his way out to a big pop. He soaks it up, playing to the crowd on both sides of the stage before proceeding down the ramp. We’re reminded that All Out will be in Chicago this weekend. Punk soaks up yet more loud “CM Punk” chants that last for several moments. Punk gets on the mic and tells us he could spend weeks, months, hearing “Cult of Personality” and coming out to that reaction. He loves it, and he’s doing his best to enjoy this while it lasts. Punk reminds us that this Sunday, in this very same building, “this could all end for me. Looking at it realistically, guys, I haven’t wrestled in seven years. I’m nervous–dare I used the word ‘scared.'” The crowd with a loud “you’ve still got it” chant. “Listen, knowing that Sunday this could all end, I want to make a promise to you guys right now that every single time I lace up these boots and–”

Before Punk can finish, 2.0 & Garcia hit the ring and beat down punk. 2.0 and Garcia take turns stomping Punk into the mat and pounding on him.

Mucho respect, ok? Get that out of the way.

It felt good to see a Coffin Drop…and it felt good to hit a (Scorpion Death Drop).” Sting knows Darby and Punk are ready, and tells them that when they collide, it’s going to be showtime for sure. Punk approaches Allin and speaks to him inaudibly as the crowd with another loud Punk chant. Punk’s music plays us out.

Backstage Interview: MJF

Ahead of his clash with Jericho–with the stipulation that if Jericho loses, he’ll never wrestle again–MJF takes time to sit down with Ross and discuss the match. We open the interview with Tony calling MJF the most disgusting person he’s ever met (did he not meet Vince, ever?) and feels uncomfortable sitting next to MJF. MJF addresses the Ayatollah of Rock-n-Rolla. He points out that Jericho is a legend who has wrestled over four decades (90s, 00s, 10s, 20s). MJF goes on to state that he has to fill Jericho’s shoes, and he knows that’s no easy feat. He compares their situation to Mohamed Ali–Ali kept coming back for more until he suffered brain damage, and Jericho keeps coming back for more. MJF tells Jericho that the spotlight is intoxicating, and MJF took that away from Jericho. And that’s why Jericho put his career on the line–he’d do anything to get the spotlight back. MJF promises to end Jericho’s storied career.

Orange Cassidy vs. Jack Evans

Orange Cassidy makes his way out first to a big pop to The Pixies’ “Where is My Mind?” Matt Hardy is already in the ring, as is Evans. Hardy attacks Cassidy, beating him in the corner.

In-Ring: Chris Jericho

We return from break and JR’s in the ring. He calls out Jericho, who comes out to the crowd singing his theme “Judas.” Jericho saunters out to the ring, grinning as the crowd loudly continues to sing with him. Jericho takes a few moments to let the crowd sing. Jericho reflects that he started his career here in Chicago, and Jim Ross gave him his start. Ross questions why Jericho added a stipulation freely, putting his career in jeopardy. Jericho speaks. “MJF, you are a piece of shit.” The crowd begins to chant the phrase. “But you’re diabolical and calculating, so am I; you’re a button pusher…so am I. As a matter of fact, the only thing you have over me are three victories.” He recites the three dates, telling JR that those dates are burned in his mind and that’s why he’s got to put it all on the line to beat MJF. He says he’s not find with being complacent and that’s why he’s here in AEW. He calls the two-year-old company the hottest wrestling company in the world today. He tells us he’d be kicking himself if he’d stayed complacent. He admits that he could stay in AEW and win lots of titles but every time Jericho looked himself in the mirror, he would know he couldn’t beat MJF. He couldn’t live with that. That would be the beginning of the end of Le Champion and he doesn’t want to stop. The crowd chants “we want more” and Jericho adds, “I want more, too.” Jericho thanks all of his fans for making his dreams come true, were he to lose and his career end. He thanks the fans for letting him be part of their life, and the fans being part of his. He tells MJF that if you want to take Jericho out, you’re “gonna have to be the best you’ve ever been, you’re gonna have to break every bone in my body, you’re gonna have to squeeze the air out of my lungs because I’m Chris Jericho! And you don’t have what it takes, and you don’t’ have the balls, to get rid of me. Understand? I’ll see you on Sunday at All Out, you little prick!” Big pop from the crowd.
