Out comes MJF and his new faction. Tully starts with the mic in hand. He talks about how they decimated Inner Circle last week. I guess that makes this group the baddest group in AEW. They’re at the pinnacle of this sport and that’s where they are. He started with the greatest group in pro wrestling and he’s going to finish his career with the greatest group in pro wrestling. MJF now has the mic. He calls himself Judas. He said he had to take a backseat to him for six months. He says he sang and he danced through all his bullshit. The coupe de grace was him acting like he wanted to take over The Inner Circle. The goal from day one was to take out Inner Circle. On top of its remains, he wanted to build one even better. He says “The Pinnacle” is exactly what they are. He introduces everyone formally and hypes them up like crazy. Then there’s MJF himself – the most talked about man in pro wrestling today. The guy who is unstoppable and the guy who is only 24 years old. He’s got 25 years plus left in the tank. Deep down you know that when his career is all said and done, he will be the GOAT, not Chris Jericho. They are “The Pinnacle” and they will dominate AEW. They’ll take what they want, when they want it. He wants Chris Jericho’s locker room, but he wants Chris to know that he’s better than him and he knows it.
"So when you've climbed the mountain, and there is no place, you're at the pinnacle of this sport!" – #TullyBlanchard.

He and Eddie call Doc Gallows “Forky from Toy Story.” Eddie says this ain’t Tokyo, this ain’t the IMPACT Zone. He quotes 50 Cent and Tupac.
Christian Cage is standing by. He mentions the term workhorse. He makes wrestling better. He makes wrestlers level up. He is the workhorse and you’re going to remember pretty damn quick. He might have ruffled some feathers. He wants people to know that he’s there for one spot – the one Kenny Omega occupies.

They all show a sign of “Too Sweet” but the Bucks leave them hanging. Kenny spins Matt around and implores them to “Too Sweet” but still they refuse. Mox gets to his feet wielding the chair and that sends them all bailing. Eddie wants to get in the ring with Mox for solidarity. He struggles, but he does.

We see Tony Schiavone who introduces STIIIING and Darby Allin. Darby limps out. Tony asks him about his match last week. He won that TNT Championship on November 7 three times. He says that’s a joke.

He talks trash to both him and Darby and Jake Roberts calls him a “weenie” before addressing Sting and their history. They leave and out comes Team Taz.
