[Moxley makes his way to the ring]
Eddie Kingston: "Get out of the ring, cut his music! Cut his music! Schiavone, get out of the ring!"
[The interviewer Tony Schiavone leaves the ring]
Eddie Kingston: "You think this is a game, Jon? You think this is a game? I'm gonna destroy you on Saturday, you understand that? On the 7th, I'm gonna ruin you. And I'm gonna take that championship, I'm gonna hand it to my mother, and I'm gonna tell her, 'Ma, the reason why you don't have a grandchild, is because of this! [points at Moxley's championship title] The reason why I didn't give you a daughter-in-law is because of this!' Because this is all that matters in our sport. No other championship means that much, only this championship, and you're holding it. So I gotta take you out, I had to sell out, I had to become everything I hated. It's too late for me Jon, you ain't saving nobody. And I'm taking that championship from you!"
[Moxley takes the microphone, crowd chants "Moxley"]
Jon Moxley: "They say 'be careful who you call your friends'. Me, I'd rather have four quarters than 100 pennies because the longer I've been in this business the more I learn that loyalty is a bitch. And I've been burned time and time again, but I never ever thought I would get burned by you, buddy. I was so happy for you man, I was so happy for you when you signed a contract--"
Eddie Kingston: [interjecting] "Who cares!? Who cares!? I don't care! I don't care!"
Jon Moxley: "Shut up! I'm trying to tell you."
[Kingston continues arguing and interjecting]
Jon Moxley: "I was happy for you. I was happy for your mother, whose dream it was--Yeah, your mother Ruthie--"
Eddie Kingston: [interrupting] "Don't you ever talk about my mother! Don't you ever!"
Jon Moxley: [yelling over the top of Kingston] "...whose kitchen table I sat at. Who I said grace with. Who I made a promise to, that I would look after you. [Kingston turns his back on Moxley] That I would always have your back. Not matter what trouble you caused for yourself, I made that promise to her. But I guess, I broke that promise, didn't I?
See I believe that the loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room. And you've been real loud lately, Eddie, why is that? That's not you, you're not weak, so what's going on up here? [Moxley taps Kingston's head] I think I know what it is. After 18 years, you finally get your shot, this Saturday you get your shot, the shot you never thought you would get. Deep down in your heart, you know, you're gonna be in the ring with the AEW World Champion, the best wrestler on this planet right now, and you're gonna lose. [crowd cheers]
So it is a scary thought, I get it, maybe after 18 years, it turns out you didn't deserve it after all. The worst part of this Eddie, the worst part of this, the part of this that makes me sick, that puts my stomach in knots, you made a promise to your mother that you can't keep."
[Crowd cheers, Moxley and Kingston argue off-mic]
Eddie Kingston: "You better get ready, you better get ready! You better get ready to kill me! You better get ready to kill me! This is real! This is real! This is real!"
Jon Moxley: "I'll show you what's real and what's not."
Eddie Kingston: "Do it then!"
Jon Moxley: "I'll show you what's real and what's not!"
Eddie Kingston: "Do it then! I don't care about this show, do it then! Take me out! Go ahead! [points at Moxley's championship] That's mine!"
[Kingston angrily leaves the ring, crowd chants "Eddie"]
Eddie Kingston: [on the ramp] "That's mine!"
Jon Moxley: "This Saturday night, Eddie, at Full Gear [crowd cheers] you will find that when you're alone with nothing but your ego--and that is a lonely, lonely place--you will find that you are not the man you thought you were, and you will say the words, 'I quit'!"
[Moxley drops the mic, crowd cheers]
