- Cody Rhodes opens the show in the ring (arena darkened with a spotlight on him), addresses the current worldwide situation, says we as human beings have to stand together, and for now, that means at a distance. The camera shows the empty building. Cody says he refuses to live in a prison of fear, he feels alive, and he hopes the fans at home feel the same. Cody then talks about his fellow stablemates. He tells Matt his anger towards Hangman Page is misplaced, says he needs to carry Nick Jackson's giant heart so The Elite can get the advantage at Blood at Guts. He moves on to Hangman Page and notes he's said over and over Page is the best wrestler in the company. He tells Page he lost to Jericho for the title, so did he, it's time to get over it and be the reason The Elite wins at Blood and Guts. Cody then talks about Kenny Omega, how they are friends, but constantly banter about who's "1a" and "1b." Cody says he needs Omega, he needs the "real" Omega tonight, the "Best Bout Machine." Matt and Kenny make their way out to the ring, Cody holds the ropes open for them.

Omega takes the mic, says he agrees he and Cody haven't seen eye, but here they are. Omega says the world is falling apart, and they don't even know if they will have Dynamite next week, but if it's up to him they want to go out, the same way they come in, as The Elite. Matt gets on the mic and says it's just three of them in the ring, where's Page? Nick is out indefinitely, where's Page? Hangman finally strolls out with a drink, but stays on the stage.

Matt says he knows things have been weird lately, but he's asking Page, as a man, will Page stand with them tonight and next week. Page nods and gives them cheers, then heads to the back. Omega talks to the camera, he says he knows they are out there and can feel their energy, so all they can do is give them the best possible show. Omega calls for the lights and pyro (they go off) and the Dynamite music plays.
