"When you signed that contract for June 29th, Joey, you became my enemy for the duration," Moxley said. "So take it from me, from one guy who gives zero f—s to another, choose your words carefully my friend, and make sure you're sure you want to become my enemy."

* Cody talks how about it's tricky to take a singles match between what happened at Double or Nothing and then teaming up with his brother, Dustin Rhodes, at AEW Fight for the Fallen against The Young Bucks. He continues that his opponent, Darby Allin, fits the mold for what he wants to see in AEW. Cody then comments about smashing the Triple H-like throne at Double or Nothing.

"A lot of people might have misinterpreted the throne element of Double or Nothing," Cody said. "But if it meant anything?and I'm sure it means a lot to different people?but if it meant anything, it meant that I wasn't going to be an executive first, I'm was going to be a wrestler first, and this is part of it."
