Dax rolls up  IC for a pinfall but an errant tag makes Quen the legal man who crossbodies on top of Dax. Three pin attempts by Quen but it’s Dax who tags in Dash and after a few leap frogs delivers one crisp spinebuster that nearly beats Quen, but IC makes the save.

Tully pulls IC off the apron, allowing FTR to isolate once more. They hit a HIGH Goodnight Express for the W.

Moxley is backstage. People who feel the need to talk about themselves all the time really rubs him the wrong way. MJF talks a lot. What is he hiding? Mox says he is talented in every way. He thinks he’s the man for the next 25 years and Mox hopes he’s right because he wants to see AEW soar. He says one day he will become World Champion, but that isn’t September 5. He threatens to split MJF open. MJF will look for a way out and the whole world will find out what he’s been hiding.

MJF is shown wearing a neck brace. He says Mox attacked him from behind like a gutless coward. His actions have consequences. MJF gets emotional saying one day he’d like to have kids. MJF’s Attorney Mark Sterling says that the Paradigm Shift is a dangerous move and could possibily be deadly.

Last week they put a petition up online and it got five million signatures. All week they drew up the following contract that bans the Paradigm Shift from his match at All Out. Sterling calls Mox a badass and asks why he needs one move to win? He threatens to sue him so hard he’ll have to part his hair to poop.

While he may be embarrassed he’s also proud of Orange. He proved that he’s learning from Chris and he’s learning that Orange has heart. He wants to toast Cassidy, but before he does, he wants to have a rubber match with him. He wants to take it to another level. He wants to make it a “Mimosa Mayhem Match.” He then directs the to jumbtron. The way you win is by throwing your opponent in a huge tank of Mimosas or by pinfall or submission. “On September 5 at All Out, do you accept the challenge: Jericho vs. Orange Cassidy 3 in a Mimosa Mayhem Match?” Thumbs up from Orange. He then goes to toast Orange but invites Inner Circle out. The Inner Circle climbs the apron and Jericho toasts Orange before summoning his cronies to attack Orange, Trent and Chuck.
