We see highlights form last week when Roderick Strong begged Adam Cole to help him recover. Earlier today Adam Cole visited Strong at another hospital. My audio is horrible. Seems to be some wheelchair shenanigans. The Kingdom is there but honestly I can;t make out a word they're saying. Hopefully it's just my audio crapping out.

Powerhouse Hobbs attacks Omega and Jericho! YES! Spinebuster to Hobbs on Jericho. Hobbs sends Omega into the rail and punches away. Hobbs sends Omega into the crowd. Hobbs follows and kicks Omega. Hobbs takes a rail and slams it on Omega and chokes him with it.
It's very obvious that Hobbs is in alignment with Don Callis. Hobbs and Takeshita bring Omega to the ring. Callis tapes Omega to the rope. Jericho gets taken out by Takeshita. Jericho puts his body in front of Omega and eats a chair.
Hobbs punches away at Omega. Callis with a chair shot to Omega's head.
Opinion: GREAT angle and thank goodness Hobbs is finally being treated like a star.

We see Samoa Joe. He is still hungry as he smokes a cigar and drinks a whiskey.

Renne is with Stokely Hathaway to announce a 4 way for the ROH World Title #1 contendership.
Tony Schiavone brings out the Rated R Superstar Adam Copeland. They shake hands. Edge dismisses Tony and appreciates the "Adam" chants and seems absolutely thrilled to be in an AEW ring.
He clearly wants the AEW World Title. He wants Moxley, Omega, Miro, Hobbs, Jay White and Juice. He came to AEW because his daughters wanted him to work with Uncle Jay (Christian Cage). He calls out Cage. TNT ChampionCage comes out. This is rather surreal.
Copeland tells him they've been friends for 40 years and runs down what Cage has become. He still loves Cage. He hates the fact that Cage attacked Sting. Copeland declares his love for Sting. He warns Cage that Luchasaurus and Nick Wayne will turn on him as soon as they get what they want from him. Copeland says it's time for them to get back together as a championship tag team.
He asks Cage to end their careers together. Cage takes the mic. They hug. Cage tells Copeland to go (audio muted) and walks off.
Luchasaurus comes out with Nick Wayne.
We go to credits.
