After the match Danielson gets on the microphone and says let us applaud Top Flight, these men is what AEW is all about, shortly after match I heard a chant which warmed my heart and was 3 letters, AEW. AEW Chant begins, first Anarchy at the Arena nearly ended my career, but reason I want to fight is because I love AEW, the Young Bucks and The New Elite there part of formation and don’t represent what AEW is about, Tony Khan has been part of every episode and the Young Bucks want to run the show but are not here, I love AEW and what it represents and what it gives to the fans, and I will do anything to protect it.
