In-Ring: William Regal, Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson
We kick the show off with a highlight video showing MJF defeating Jon Moxley to win the AEW Championship.
Wiliam Regal walks out and down to the ring and says “Would you like to hear from your new world champion? You’ll hear from him next week, he doesn’t have time to come to places like Chicago. Mr. Friedman is on the set of a major motion picture and I am sure you’re wondering what the union is” A F*** you Regal chant breaks out!! He calls the crowd uncoothe. He says a number of weeks ago he sent an email and MJF will explain it next week.
MOXLEY’S MUSIC HITS!!! Moxley stoically makes his way through the crowd as the crowd sings along but he doesn’t look anything but pissed off. He slowly makes his way down to the ring to meet Regal. A “You F**** Up” chant breaks out as Mox stares down Regal from ringside.
He makes his way in as Danielson runs down and puts himself between them. Danielson holds Mox back and tries to separate the two. He grabs a mic and says “Listen Mox, I don’t know why he did what he did. He did a bad thing, but we’ve all done bad things and please I ask you; he’s got a bad neck and two brain bleeds don’t hurt him.” Mox paces around the ring and jaws at Bryan. Bryan slaps him!!! He immediately apologizes as Mox is INFURIATED! Bryan says “You know your struggles, my dad struggled with it too. It’s more than wrestling and when he struggled I didn’t understand. But Regal taught me, and block the fans out and listen. Because of Regal I could understand his struggles and before my dad passed I could love him. Imagine somebody teaching your daughter to love you in spite of your struggles.” The crowd chants “B*****” Bryan says he loves Regal as Mox stares on. He grabs the ropes and thinks about things and turns around to grab the mic.
Mox walks up to Regal and says “Lordship, I only want one thing from you. I want you to run. Run far away, as far as you can and you NEVER come back.” “Right now, walk and keep on walking.” He intimidates Regal who slowly leaves the ring. Mox intensely stares him down as Regal slowly walks up the ramp. Mox and Bryan look conflicted as the crowd chant “Na Na Goodbye”
