He says they (IMPACT) got themselves into a predicament. Scott says that they happened to bridge the gap between a promotion that hated them.

Rich Swann is admiring his unified titles. Willie Mack comes in to congratulate him and notes that they have to celebrate the win. Swann is game for it, but not at the moment. He has some business to take care of him and it appears he’s headed to the ring.
Rich Swann comes out to reflect on the hard work he’s done to win these belts. He doesn’t like Moose nor the way he carries himself, but he respects Moose. However, “ya boy” came out double champion. He did it. He partied on Sunday, Monday and into today. Since January, he’s had a monkey on his back: Kenny Omega. He pinned him, but it just so happens it all comes back around. On April 24, he’s going to come at Kenny Omega and there will be nobody at ringside. This is one of the most important things that could ever happen to their industry. They will see who the real world champion is and who the real best in the world is. Don Callis’ music hits and out walks The Invisible Hand.
He calls himself a Rich Swann guy. He fought for Rich Swann. He was his shiny toy that he was so proud. He brings up The Golden Sheik. He recalls seeing someone having a nicer car than he did. He remembers Sheik telling him someone will always have something nicer. That was Kenny for Don. He says Rich was probably able to put Kenny’s win against him at Hard To Kill, but does he wake up thinking about it. Kenny Omega is a god of professional wrestling. The Invisible Hand was there for Kenny, just like he was for Rich. He then runs down Kenny’s wins against Okada, Moxley and Rich Swann. Don was on commentary for that and does Rich know what he hears? “One Winged Angel!” At Rebellion, he’s going to be a part of history, but in Rich’s case, he’s already written that history.
The Two Tony’s are are standng at Daily’s Place. Schiavone has a leprachaun hat on as he says the Forbidden Door is wide open as Khan runs down the card.
Eddie Edwards and Matt Cardona are having a friendly chat as Brian Myers walks in. Myers is upset at Matt sticking his nose in his business. He flat out tells Matt he doesn’t want him here. “Get lost.”
