Jon Moxley interrupts and says he’s full of crap. MJF calls the fans poor lardasses who have the “worst football team in the history of the United States of America.” He tears the jersey off and says Josh Allen sucks. MJF notes he could view the world title as a bargaining chip and teases he could take the title to a “real wrestling company.” MJF says he could go work for the only Khan who really matters, “Jolly Old Saint Nick”. He references Cody Rhodes, calling him his hero, and Triple H, quoting his “Best for Business” line. Moxley tells him to leave the ring, but MJF takes his shirt off, but he leaves.
