Punk says he's never been in a locker room with more talent than AEW's. Punk says he's a fan of Adam Page and he knows a lot of fans are as well. Punk says everything up until this point was just warming him up and while he can't promise that he'll win the title, he can promise that he'll give everyone 100% of himself and leave it all in the ring because without the fans, CM Punk isn't a thing. Punk says he'll always bet on himself and win, lose or draw, Page will know that he was in a fight with CM Punk and he'll always fight until the wheels fall off. Punk drops the mic and gets in the ring to celebrate as the fans in attendance sing his theme song.
— We then see Scorpio Sky, who's with Dan Lambert, backstage. Lambert says it's not a coincidence that Scorpio is in another title match. Scorpio says it's not a coincidence that he's where he is today and he didn't ask his friend Frankie Kazarian to step-aside so he can just lose and while Sammy [Guevara] has done some crazy ladder spots that the fans love, the fans tonight came to see Sammy get his ass beat.
