Garcia responded stating that here in Buffalo, everything is his business and he’s sure MJF is out here to run down his hometown and his family sitting at ringside. After saying hi to his mother at ringside, Garcia stated that he is going to do what no one else has been willing to do, which he revealed was to say nice things about MJF. After some words praising MJF’s AEW World title reign, Garcia stated that MJF did not see him as just some rookie but as a pillar of this company and if he could win enough matches, he could challenge for the World title. Garcia stated that when he did challenge, it was one of the most embarrassing nights ever but that loss motivated him to go on the run of his career. Garcia stated that run helped him realize that he doesn’t have to settle for being a pillar, when he can be the backbone of this company and thanked MJF.

Ospreay offered him a shot at his title at next week’s show but upped the stakes and claimed that it would also be for the AEW World title when he wins that title as well. Garcia responded accepting the challenge and Ospreay left the ring shortly afterwards.
