We head onto the bus alongside Josh as he sits down before Don and Omega come out. All three sit down as Don and Omega switch out the name plate on the AEW World Championship. Josh talks about what happened Wednesday before asking Don and Kenny how long the plan has been in the works. They toss Jon's nameplate onto the floor before Don states that it all started twenty-seven years ago when he was trained by The Golden Sheik; Omega's uncle.

Don talks about how he met Omega when he was ten and how he's always looked after Kenny like the Sheik looked after him. Don mocks everyone thinking that he came back to wrestling to be a commentator, but it was his plan to be there when Kenny won the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.

Don continues on to share that he and Omega are family and how they changed the course of wrestling history several times in Omega's career. Josh asks what happened to tarnish their legacy. Don says that they set the course of history right when Omega took the title from Jon Moxley. Kenny reverses the roles and asks Josh what he would do if someone attacked the man he saw as his father.

Kenny Omega says that Jon broke the gentleman's agreement when he attacked Don and that he took revenge on Jon for what he did before talking about how he's on the list of top matches anywhere in the world. Kenny gets very agitated and says that they're there because they can, they live in style and Kenny says that he collected comic books as a child.

Omega continues to share that he loves traveling and collecting titles. He then adds that they have to leave to make their way to Jacksonville, FL, to make it to Daily's place for Dynamite tomorrow night.

Kenny then teases what will happen tomorrow night before saying his signature "Goodbye, and goodnight!" to end the interview.
