MJF says he got this, just like he’s got Daniel Garcia.
Daniel Garcia comes up at that mention, and he’s donned by Angelo Parker and Matt Menard.
MJF tells Garcia he chose him, so don’t get it twisted. Tonight, is he getting Daniel Garcia, The Sports Entertainer, or the professional wrestler. Garcia says wrestler.
They leave.
Here comes Roderick Strong to roll in to tell MJD that he is a wrestling legend. MJF calls him a joke then leaves. Strong call Adam out, telling him that this is exactly what the devil would do.

Orange Cassidy and HOOK are backstage. OC says Moxley must have lost his mind saying her doesn’t respect Jon. Jon is the only person OC has been thinking about since Chicago, when he took OC’s title. He is sorry that when the chance knocked, he didn’t pick up the pieces of Rey, he picked up the pieces of the title that Jon dropped. It doesn’t feel the same. He needs to beat Jon.

I could have done without a second tag team squash match, but it was short.
Total Rating: NR
Match Time: :43
The Gunns call MJF a liar. He is not a generational talent. Do you think LeBron went to the NBA and said, eh, not yet. No, he ran that bitch since day one. They have never been told no, that they weren’t ready. They’ve been doing this for 3 years. They are about to be ROK tag champs. THEY are generational talents.
Oof that was rough.
The Gunns call MJF an embarrassment of a champion. The only friends MJF has left are the fans, and he hopes MJF picks one of these fat pieces of shit as his partner for Full Gear.
Backstage, MJF watches on. Samoa Joe walks up behind him. MJF walks away.
Jon Moxley is with Wheeler Yuta! Jon knew it! He knew it! He’s been getting calls all week, OC didn’t do anything wrong. But Orange knew exactly what he was doing. This isn’t about the belt, it’s about the laws of nature. This business is a jungle, and the BCC are the dominant pack of predators. What kind of example is he setting for Young Wheeler if he doesn’t beat the shit out of OC. What about Hook? Is OC teaching him that he can do and say whatever he wants? OC doesn’t deserve to get to Full Gear, so the minute they land at LAX, it’s on. Him and whoever vs Jon and Yuta. He then tells Hook to take notes, if his fingers still work.
Yuta tells Hook he’ll see him in Cali, pretty boy.

Slides into the ring from behind! Right to Juice, to The Gunns! He’s got the ring on, and all three men roll out of the ring, leaving Jay alone. Jay has the title. MJF chases Jay as he runs out of the ring. Juice meets him at the top of the ramp. MJF with the mic.
He tells Jay to look at him. He hopes he’s had fun playing dress up because playtime is over soon. He will have to get in the ring with the real champion. When he won the title, he promised himself he’d go down as the greatest champion of all time or die trying. That’s what Jay will be dealing with. He’llhave to kill MJF to beat him. He is not just fighting for him anymore. For the first time in his life, he is fighting for everyone who has been on this journey with him since day one. Adam Cole, us at home, them in the arena. He is not just a scumbag, he’s our scumbag. He’s got one question, when MJF is the only thing stnding between him and immortality, the man who always carries a fake gun, when it comes down to it, will Jay be able to pull the trigger…
The lights go out.
