After the match, Hardy gets on the mic, pumps up Hangman. Matt says he’s excited cuz Hangman is gonna make a lot of money, and Hardy is happy too cuz he gets 30%, Hangman says Matt I don’t know if you were paying attention, but I don’t know how well you read that contract-- Matt says I didn’t read it I sent it to the lawyer-- so JACKSON DUVALL the Jacksonville Jaguar mascot, brings out the contract-- he gives the contract to Matt-- he says this is for a MATCH, Matt Hardy vs. Hangman Adam Page- if Hardy loses, Hangman gets 100% of his Q1 2021 earnings- Matt says if I have to put this on the line, I get all of your earnings Q1.

Jackson Duvall turns on Hangman, it’s Cassidy from Private Party, Matt tells TH2 he’ll pay them to beat up Hangman, -1 sends the Dark Order out to make the save

Inner Circle/LAX interview- we’re here to collect- MJF says Sammy says he crossed the line without evidence, he hasn’t apologized to me like a grown man. Jericho says everyone knows what you were trying to do. Goading him into quitting- most of this is your fault, but the majority of this is Sammy’s fault. After a week of stupid decisions, the dumbest of all was walking out on the inner circle. I never wanna hear his name again. LAX is gonna bring gold back to the inner circle.
