MJF says he isn’t here to get on top, he’s here to stay on top. MJF calls Jericho out to the ring to listen to his “groundbreaking announcement.”

Jericho tells MJF to “cut the shit” and make his announcement. MJF says that he and Jericho are the two biggest “minute-to-minute draws” in AEW but somehow they have never faced each other.

MJF says that he and Jericho are “predators” but their prey is adapting and they will have to adapt to stay on top. He says they have worked great separate but asks what if they work together. MJF keeps stopping himself from asking to join Inner Circle but finally asks.

Ortiz says they don’t want him and that is the end of the story. Jericho says that they are a family and they need to make their decision together. Jericho invites MJF to a steak dinner next week, though.
