Lee takes up a mic and tells Mr. Moxley that he is just here to answer the bounty that you he put on his own head last week.
There’s no crowd here to save him or energy to lift him up, no one is here to save you. Says THIS is the energy he feels now. Lee says he has so much that he desires and he is certainly not the same person that looked eye to eye with him in the past. Says he makes lives extraordinary and at any point any one of these distinguished men will sacrifice themselves for him. Lee says Moxley has come into possession of something he desires and something he needs, he looks at the AEW World Championship. Tells him this is a challenge for the title but he doesn’t know if Mox is reasonable. Doesn’t know if Mox is an actor, a movie star, an MMA fighter, a rebel, or if he’s just a fatherless boy from Cincinatti. Tells him to answer the challenge or we’ll make him. Drops the mic in front of his face and Moxley struggles to speak and says “Dude, you just had to ask…” Then the Creepers put the boots to Moxley as Lee just watches on.
