Right now bedlam has errupted. Tony's taking meetings with Omega and the Bucks, who are livid as hell and Tony's giving as good as he is getting. I'd say Tony is coked up, but he's always coked up on PPV nights.
Tony's throwing the burial of FTR into the Elite's faces, stating "What the fuck did you think would happen?" and implying that the reason WHY Punk has gotten such a hard on hate boner for the Elite is due to FTR telling him what scumbags the Bucks are and how Omega enables them constantly fucking over Omega.
Also, Omega/Bucks WAS supposed to close the show tonight but Tony called an audible once MJF agreed to come back. Which wasn't a sure thing and only got finalized last night.
Had MJF not agreed to come back, it would have been Orange Cassidy in the Joker suit competing in the actual match, as far as Tony wanting to do a Black Scorpion type deal. With the title shot being in the hands of a mystery wrestler who would be played by different AEW wrestlers until he decided who it would be.
(As for why Cassidy? Cassidy's gotten bored with the whole Orange Cassidy gimmick and wanting to rebrand for a while and Tony offered to let him play Black Scorpion II for the night due to short notice)
Moxley's not happy either. He's relapsed in his drinking and his marriage is on the rocks. Renee's been threatening to leave him but right now, their kid is the only thing holding them together.
Also, Tony's had some choice words for Kenny too. Want to know why AEW didn't make a move for Gargano? Because Kenny blocked it by screeching that "Gargano would be a cancer to the locker room" until Tony agreed not to pursue him. Tony basically called Kenny out for being super insecure about his place in the company as it"s "star" and is super pissed, because he basically gifted him a win over Ospreay and the Trios belt, thinking it would get make the Bucks and Kenny happy and keep them from pissing on FTR and in turn, making Punk lash out over it.
