Cody asks if he can help her, she takes the microphone and says can you? She introduces herself as the total package, Jade Cargill. Says she’s been standing at ringside, week after week, studying her competition, and even Cody Rhodes. Jade says Cody calls himself a giant killer, but what does he know about that? There’s nothing giant about him. She continues that she knows a giant, and Cody’s words just might wake him. So the next time Cody says something like that, “keep that s— to yourself.” She then heads up to the stage and gives him congrats on getting his last name, but he didn’t have the balls to go by one name.
She says the giant has one name, and he’s a real star…”Shaq.” Brandi Rhodes “Who the hell told you tonight was open night, b—-?” Brandi didn’t appreciate what Jade had to say. Tells her never to talk to Cody like that again. Brandi tells her to bounce and don’t come back unless she sends for her, “heffa, b—- get your ass out of her.” Brandi goes to walk away and Jade gives her a pat on the backside. Jerry Lynncomes out to keep things seperate. Cody is looking on and Brian Cage shows up to give him a powerbomb. Starks comes out to the ring, Allin comes to the ring and uses his thumbtacks jacket to clear out Stark. Cody beats up Cage, and Allin hits a splash in the corner on Cage.

Video package showing The Elite Deletion and the rivalry between Sammy Guevara and Matt Hardy.
Time for the induction of MJF and Wardlowinto Inner Circle. Chris Jericho comes out first to talk about bringing MJF in. Jericho says before that, he brings in the OG members — Jake Hager, Santana, and Ortiz…no Sammy Guevara. Jericho asks them where Sammy is?! He knows Sammy is out of the hospital, but the show must go on. Jericho introduces MJF and Wardlow. MJF starts up that he’s been in the industry for five long years and he was given $1 million from his dad, so he could make it work. MJF says he had a lot of pressure that nobody would understand and that’s created the diamond that he is today. MJF then wants to do a poem, that he thinks Santanaand Ortiz will really enjoy. He ends up doing lyrics from “All Me” by Drake.
Ortiz calls him out and says to Jericho that MJF shouldn’t be in the group. Jericho says it’s on him, he made the stipulation, and he beat Jericho. Jericho says with these additions it will make the stable even stronger. He tells Ortiz he will make it work. “I don’t even know who Drake is, Ortiz. I started from the bottom now I’m here!” (Another Drake song). MJF then says they are not here just for the induction, but they are here for Jericho’s 50th birthday. Balloons and confetti rains down on the group. MJF says that everybody is going to Las Vegas next week, and it’s on MJF. He then has everybody sing “Happy Birthday” to Jericho.

Omega says Moxley has what he wants, and has taken Omega’s spot as being the face of the company. Omega says he’s heard the backstage chatter of “Where’s The Cleaner?” Omega thinks he’s proven with the recent tournament that he never left, he’s just ready to resume that role in the company. Omega says they are actually 0-0, because when he looks in the record book, there’s no match between them. Their first match was an Unsanctioned Match.
