.@The_MJF was ready to throw in the towel! But, by the look on the face of @IAmJericho, he may have thought @sammyguevara was the one to do it.

There’s plenty of confrontation between MJF and Sammy after the match. Chris tells them to stop this shit. They have seven days to work it all out or The Inner Circle break up forever.

If TH2 beats them, they’ll give them a shot at the titles. In come Castor and Bowens and they run down The Bucks. Castor raps a bit, ripping on their book and in come TH2 for the attack.
