Keeping his word from earlier in the night, Jon Moxley came to the ring with a barbed wire baseball bat and hit Omega in the abdomen for a homerun!

“They don’t even work here!” said Chris Jericho.
Gallows, Anderson, and Omega stomped on Jon Moxley! Omega picked up the barbed wire bat and began using it over and over again on Jon Moxley. Brian Pillman, Jr. and Griff Garrison ran into the ring, having seen enough, but Gallows and Anderson knocked them out of there!
“This is a hostile takeover!” said Jim Ross. Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows held up Moxley so Omega could hit him again with the barbed wire baseball bat!
“You made me flip the switch, Jon,” said Omega.
The Young Bucks sprinted to the ring and tried to talk reason into Omega, Gallows and Anderson.
“The Bucks are pleading with Gallows and Anderson,” said Jericho.
“Are we seeing the band get back together?” asked Excalibur.
Gallows, Anderson, and Omega put up their famous hand sign, and The Bucks gave the hand gesture right back!

“Unbelievable,” said Excalibur, shocked, as the show went off the air.
