Callis taunts Danielson about his comment about the reason he came to AEW was because it was best for wrestling. “And people call me a carnie piece of shit,” Callis mockingly says. He says that Omega told him that Danielson really thinks like that so Callis says he must be a mark instead.

Danielson screams at Callis to shut up and says he’s here to talk to Omega not Callis. He says some day this will be about the title but right now it’s about who’s better and challenges Omega to the match. Callis refuses and Danielson calls him a piece of shit and tells him to shutup and let Omega speak for himself. Danielson said he came to AEW to face the “best bout machine” but all he’s seen is a guy that hangs out with a bunch of goofy stooges and lets a piece of shit talk for him. Danielson suggests Omega has lost his balls. Omega agrees to the match and they get in each other’s faces.
