We then head to another backstage area, where MJF is cutting a promo. MJF mentions his role in Happy Gilmore 2 and knocks on the door. Shelton Benjamin then answers the door.

Benjamin then brings up Lashley, then asks MJF if he has the time. MJF then says no because he gave Benjamin his watch. Benjamin then pulls out the watch and says it might be the nicest watch he has ever seen come from Temu. Benjamin then asks MJF if he thinks he is so stupid he doesn’t know the difference between a Rolex and a cheap knockoff. Benjamin then says because of the watch they have been on to MJF the entire time. Benjamin then says the only reason they didn’t take out MJF months ago was because MVP stuck his neck out for him.

Tony Schiavone then introduces Christian Cage and Christian makes his way down to the ring. Schiavone then asks Cage about The Patriarchy kicking him out at All In and Cope subsequently tells him to find himself and Cage introduces himself before admitting that he’s an asshole. Cage then says he was obsessed with becoming AEW World Champion no matter the cost and he was ready to fulfill his destiny at AEW Revolution earlier this year. Cage then says when he looked at the canvas, he caught a glimpse of his past and became asshole with feelings. Cage then says it cost him anything and he didn’t think that Nick Wayne, Mother Wayne and Kip Sabian were competent enough to kick him out of the group. Cage then asks Nick, Mother Wayne and Sabian what they know about taking risks. Cage then addresses Cope and asks him if the things he has said to him in AEW were that bad. Cage then says Cope was an opportunist who did some unsavory things to get to the top and he was simply conducting business. Cage then says Cope told him to find himself and maybe he did but maybe he didn’t. Cage then says he and Cope are very different and yet the same.
Cage then says The Patriarchy decided that they didn’t need a patriarch anymore and he has found himself in holes before. Cage then says he’s always managed to climb out of the holes that he has been buried in and Nick may think he’s had a little success as Ring Of Honor World Television Champion but questions how he’ll show up when he has to defend his title. Cage then says Nick has the audacity to call himself the new face of AEW and he has every tool to be that, but he’ll have to go through him to get there. Cage then informs Nick and Sabian that he’s disowning the both of them. Mother Wayne then looks to slap Cage, but Cage catches her hand. Cage then spots Sabian sneaking up behind him, but not Nick sneaking up on the other side of him. Mother Wayne then hands Nick and Sabian a pair of chairs, then both hit Cage with them with a double Con-Chair-To. Nick then tells Cage that he disowns him and turns his back on him.
Commentary then says they’ll have an update on Christian Cage when it is made available and we head to the back to hear from FTR and Big Stoke. Stoke says he has a message for a few people, including Cope who he reminds is banned from the building tonight. Stoke then addresses Bang Bang Gang ahead of the Tag Title Eliminator Match tomorrow night on Collision before they are cut off by the Young Bucks. We then get a bit of chat as FTR congratulates the Bucks on their win tonight, talking about the possibility of facing them in the finals before walking off. Stoke then has a bit of fun at the expense of The Young Bucks before leaving much to the chagrin of Matthew and Nicholas.
