Ospreay asks why not. Omega tells him they’re not the same guys they once were, but says together they can do great things.

We all have our skeletons, don’t we?” Omega tells Ospreay anytime, call him. Ospreay tells Omega not to give up on that world title.

Inside the arena we return live, where the theme for “The Jet” Kevin Knight hits. Out comes the reigning TNT Champion to loud boos from the Philly crowd. As he walks to the ring, highlights are shown from AEW Double Or Nothing of Knight attacking Darby Allin while he was on a stretcher.
He settles in the ring to loud “F**k you, Kevin!” chants. Knight says he wouldn’t expect anything less from this crowd. Fans chant “Shut the f**k up!” as he brings up his actions from this past Sunday night. He says he told Darby Allin not to let the jet down, not to let the people down and he blew it.
He says just like the Sixers did against the Knicks, he let them all down. He says he decided that he wasn’t going to trust the process anymore. He decided that he was going to take matters into his own hands and he did what he had to do. He asks who was the last person that humbled MJF and it was him.
He says he should have been in the main event but instead he was watching from the bench. Knight says he took it upon himself because he is not there to take part, he is there to take over the company. He says he trust Darby and when he started in the company, Darby told him not to waste any time.
Speedball Bailey’s music hits and out he comes to the ring. Bailey says he hears what Kevin’s saying but he knows him. He knows how ambitious he is, that’s his best and worst quality. The reason they work so well as a team is because they both want to be the best but Kevin is not patient.
He makes mistakes and what he did to Darby was a mistake. Bailey says they can fix it if he apologizes and own up to what he did, they can make things right. Bailey extends his hand for a handshake. Kevin shakes his hand and shoulders him. Kevin with a clothesline. He gets Bailey back up and slams him to end the segment.

MJF’s AEW World Championship Celebration
The show returns from the break and now it’s time for the advertised MJF World Championship Celebration. With that said, MJF’s music hits and out he comes to the ring. There are three balloons with the number three on them. MJF comes out and says he is a three time AEW World Champion at 30 years of age.
He says they will be writing about him in history books. He says they get to witness the greatness that is him in real time. He says this is the greatest era because it is all about him. He is a three time, three time, three time champion of the world.
MJF says is the most complete wrestler in the world, there is no one close. He says the people need to do the right thing. He says he wants everyone watching at home and in the arena to bow before the greatest of all time. Mark Briscoe’s music hits and out he comes to the ring.
MJF says to cut his music and he asks Mark who he thinks he is. Mark tells him that MJF is like a stranger in a strange place in this city. He sys MJF does not fit in here. It’s like if a penguin was walking through the desert and not those exotic South American beach penguins.
He says they are in Philly. He says the people are hard nose, grinders, some of the toughest human beings on the planet. And Max sticks out like a sore thumb because he is not tough. He says MJF thinks the world deserves to be his. He says MJF believes that he is above them all, better than them all and MJF believe that.
Mark tells him that it was not very long ago that he pinned him. He says he wants a title shot. He asks MJF if he will continue to be a soft little bitch or is he going to man up. MJF tells him no. He is saying no because unlike everyone in the company, he understands that All Elite Wrestling isn’t just a sport, it’s a business.
And optically speaking, it’s bad enough that an emo freak like Darby Allin even sniffed the AEW title. And Briscoe thinks it’s good for Mark Briscoe. MJF begins to laugh. MJF says it’s not a good idea, if he challenges for the title, it would probably put the company out of business.
He says there are levels to this and Briscoe is no where near on the level of the devil. MJF leaves the ring. Rush’s music hits and out he comes. He tells MJF that he’s a chicken shit. He tells MJF that he almost beat him. He says when you mess with the bull, you get the horn.
MJF says Rush thinks he’s cool. He says he is not the only guy that can speak several languages. MJF calls him senor. He says he actually agrees with Rush, if anyone has earned themselves a title shot, it’s him. And from a business standpoint, he has good hair and a good look.
He says he has a catchphrase and more marketable than the ugly piece of shit Briscoe. He asks Rush if he wants to wrestle him for the Triple B tonight. MJF says psych and to listen. Next week, they will have a match for the title and he better be prepared because the bull is about to lock horns with the devil. The segment ends there.

Cope says that is where he is wrong and he goes under the ring. Cope grabs a black bag. He says about 20 years ago, he went to a store and bought a bunch of these just for this scenario.
