Inner Circle hit the ring.

Jericho: "It's the first time the entire Inner Circle has been in the ring together in 2021, and it's going to be a huge year for us! 2020 was great, but this is going to be even better, so we'll tell you our resolutions for the next 365 days."

Hager: "Championships, yeah!"

MJF: "Great answer, by the way, Jacob. I would say strengthening the bonds that we have, and also fat people, they gotta go."

Ortiz: "Perfecting my grandmother's recipes."

Jericho: "I think this will be the year that myself and MJF win the tag team titles!"

Santana: "Whoa, whoa. You hand-picked us to be in the Inner Circle. You hand-picked us to be the tag team in the Inner Circle."

Sammy: "I think I see what's going on. (turns to Jericho) You're a little tag team slut! No, no, you team with him, we were Le Sex Gods, I saw you dabbing it up with Snoop Dogg last week, you going to team with him next?"

MJF: "Let's get the train back on the tracks. So much hostility."

Sammy: "Shut up, Max!"

Jericho: "Come on. We're all great athletes, sexy hooligans! We're great athletes, any one of us could team with any other one of us, and we'd win the tag team titles. Last week, MJF and Wardlow blew off some steam. I say we do it again. Next week, I three-way to determine the number one tag team of The Inner Circle. I think it's going to be Jericho and MJF."

They show a video package for Allin vs. Cage.

Dasha interviews The Elite. They're hyped. They talk about doing the Elite three-man entrance, but Callis perhaps somewhat disingenuously suggests they let the Bucks have their own entrance.

Kenny makes his entrance first.

Callis: "Cut the music! Sorry, Justin, you have the night off, it's too special to leave to an amateur. The band is back together! Courtesy of Don Callis, courtesy of Kenny Omega, this six-man! So let me introduce to you your world tag team champions, and Kenny Omega's two best friends in the world, ladies and gentlemen... The Good Brothers!"
