The Elite Call Out Impact Management:
The Impact World Champion Kenny Omega, Don Callis and The Good Brothers make their way down to the ring. The fans remind Callis that he got fired with a "You got fired" chant. Callis reminds them, "Real men don't quit. They get fired."
Back to their segment, The Elite are still riding high after Omega retained his championship against Sami Callihan in the main event of Slammiversary. But reality is now setting in after Tommy Dreamer informed them moments ago that Omega is going to have to defend his title again after this Battle Royal. Callis runs through all the past stars Omega has surpassed. Then, Sami Callihan's music hits. "The Death Machine" has arrived.
Callihan informs the "Best Bout Machine" he isn't done with him yet. He announces he'll be in the No. 1 Contenders Battle Royal for a shot at Omega's title again. Since he can't wait that long, Callihan informs The Elite that next week, he is going to round up some guys, and they're going to have a six-man tag team match. Callis chuckles. Just then, AEW's Frankie Kazarian runs in and takes down The Elite! It looks like Callihan found one of his partners, but he does not like who Dreamer whispers will be his third partner.
