MJF then commends Knight for being the TNT Champion, but insults him for not being on the same level.

Knight then refutes the claim that he isn’t World Championship material and says that anybody who can see him knows he is a gold mine. Knight then says that the TNT Title is the workhorse title and some of the best wrestlers have held the TNT Title, which is why MJF hasn’t held it so far. Knight then offers to give MJF an a** whooping. MJF then says he is successfully convinced that the TNT Title is worth having. MJF then says he sees how proud Knight is of his TNT Title, so he offers to wrestle him but only if Knight puts the TNT Title on the line.

Ciampa addresses all the things people have told him he is not, saying he’s not big enough or strong enough or “championship material” before stating what he is.

Adam Copeland then cuts a backstage promo and he makes an offer as to why he and Christian Cage deserve one last shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championship.
