Jericho announces Jon Moxley as Moxley’s music sounds and he makes his way through the crowd and enters the red carpeted ring. A table is set up in the ring as well.
Jericho says, “January 8th is always an important day here, not because it’s Elvis’s birthday, if he was here, I would kick his butt.” Jericho reminds Moxley what is on the line and says once he accepts they will party all night long, and the fans aren’t invited.
Jericho says once again, “Will you be a part of the Inner Circle?”
“I’ve had a lot to think about this week. A lot more went into this decision than you all may think. You may think you know my ambitions and my goals. Chris, I don’t think you do either. You offered me a car, the money, and 49% membership, but I don’t want any of it. I didn’t join AEW because someone pulled a truck up to my house full of money. I came here to dominate, and that’s why.. my answer is yes.”
Moxley unzips his leather jacket revealing an Inner Circle shirt. “If you wanna be great, you have to learn from the greats. The peabrains might not want to admit it, but Chris Jericho is the greatest of all time. So I will stand with Chris Jericho and I will surround myself with the greats. There’s only one thing left, Jericho, pop open the bubbly!”
Jericho repeats, “Moxley said yes! 2020 is gonna be the year of the Inner Circle”. Jericho, Guevara, and Moxley all begin to shake bottles of champagne and shoot it everywhere. Jericho says, “This is the beginning of the Inner Circle taking over AEW! And all of you can shut up and watch us do it. What did you say? I suck?” They begin yelling towards the crowd. Moxley says, “They have a problem with Le Champion”.
Moxley said, “Oh, you forgot something, I think you owe me a little something.” Jericho says, “This car, worth 750,000 dollars, and Mox, it’s yours. Registration, license plate, it’s yours baby!” The crowd begins chanting, “You sold out!” Jericho said, “You DID sell out, every single night. The Inner Circle means money! Once again, hit that music! Come on now!!”
Once again the music sounds and they shake up the champagne and spray it in the ring. Guevara exits the ring, dancing around the ring. Moxley says, “Hey, cut the music. I forgot, one final thing. Chris my friend, I was just kidding. I would never join the Inner Circle. It’s a stupid group. You have nothing that I want, except for that” (signaling to the championship belt) and breaks a bottle over Le Champion’s head, then attacks Guevara before exiting through the crowd, throwing the shirt into the crowd.
Jericho seemingly passed out in the center of the ring being held up by Jake Hager. Moxley waving the keys with his tongue out in the crowd ending the show.
