Backstage, Jack Perry was interviewed in his vehicle. He said it’s an unsafe work environment. Hook jumped in his vehicle. As Perry was getting out of the vehicle, Hook grabbed him by the hair and slammed him against the door.
Backstage, Don Callis said later on tonight, he is going to the ring by himself to announce the fifth member for the Blackpool Combat Club to face The Elite at Blood and Guts.
They showed footage of MJF and Adam Cole hanging out at the bar. Cole convinced him to leave the bar and play the new AEW Fight Forever video game. MJF said he hasn’t played a multi-player video game before as you need a friend to do that.

They both told each other they were cool.

Backstage, Jake Hager asked Chris Jericho if he is seriously considering Don Callis’ offer. Jericho said he’s not sure, but there is a lot of history between them. Jake Hager told Jericho they have history too. Ten years ago, Hager saved Jericho’s life in Abu Dhabi. Four years ago, Jericho brought Hager into AEW and he left behind an undefeated MMA career, so he deserves to know. It’s his career that’s also being affected and until Jericho is straight with him, he can’t give him a hundred as he handed Jericho his purple hat.
