-Kenny Omega enters the ring and tries to not get emotional. Omega says a little over a year ago, he checked into the hospital and was given the bad news that he had diverticulitis and explained that it took two feet of his intestines from him and that if he didn’t check himself in, the doctor told him that he would have been dead. He says after his surgery he had 2 questions; how long would recovery be and when could he get back in the ring the doctor told him that he would be lucky if he could return to a regular way of life, let alone return to the Kenny Omega he used to be. He pushed himself too hard and returned to the hospital four more times and asked himself if he could even do this and he said that maybe giving up would have been the safest option. Once he considered that option, he asked himself what purpose did he even have on this planet if he didn’t have these people for him. A few days ago, he tested his theory in Tokyo, Japan and found his purpose that if he’s not in this ring every single week giving everything he has then he’s just not living. Even though he can’t do the things he used to be able to do, this new version of Kenny Omega that isn’t concerned about money, power or revenge can still prove that he is but before he can continue he gets cut off by Don Callis’ music. Callis goes to say Look who’s back from the dead but Omega immediately rushes towards him and starts attacking him before he gets stopped by Brian Cage & Lance Archer. Murder Machines send Omega back inside the ring and get joined by Kyle Fletcher before Cage attacks Omega with a body blow. Before they can do more damage Will Ospreay runs out with a chair and chases The Don Callis Family away. Ospreay drops the chair and goes face 2 face with Omega.
