Jericho thanks Bischoff for everything he’s done for him in his career and then Bischoff plays a video package highlighting the history of the Inner Circle.
“Wow, we’ve done some pretty cool shit boys,” Santana says. Santana says that they put AEW on their backs and carried it through a pandemic and then gets hyped as hell as he talks about the fans being back. He says if this is the last time they’re together then he wouldn’t it have it any other way than with his brothers in front of all the AEW fans.
Hager says that he believes it’s about the journey not the destination and says the hard times they’ve gone through have made hard men. Guevara says when he came into AEW he was wearing a Panda head and now he is in the greatest faction in all of wrestling. He says when he quit the group and he didn’t have them backing him he didn’t like it at all and he will do everything in his power to make sure that doesn’t happen again.
Jericho says he wasn’t hesitant about putting a faction together of his own but then he met these guys it just felt right. He says they didn’t give a damn about anyone or anything other than their group and that hasn’t changed. He says Stadium Stampede will be a war and if they go down they will go down in a blaze of glory. Jericho tells the other guys he loves them and they hug.
