Rich Swann tried to go to the parking lot but was stopped by a doorman saying that he wasn't on the list. The World Champion was in the parking lot. Rich Swann said that he was the IMPACT World Champion, and this must be some ploy by Moose. However, it wasn't Moose that was causing the ruckus. It was Kenny Omega, the AEW World Champion.

Kenny Omega appears on IMPACT Wrestling for the first time
Josh Matthews went to Kenny Omega's bus and met the champ and Don Callis. Omega wanted to do something special for IMPACT Wrestling and allowed Don Callis to switch the nameplate on the AEW World Title, taking off Jon Moxley's name and replacing it with the new champion's. Kenny Omega was looking like his old self tonight, sporting the hair and shades from when he was The Cleaner.
Josh asked why IMPACT Wrestling VP Don Callis helped Omega screw Jon Moxley out of the title on AEW Dynamite. Callis, after fixing the plate, said that he was trained by the Golden Shiek in Canada. A picture was brought out, revealing that the Golden Shiek was Kenny Omega's uncle. Callis said that he has looked after Kenny Omega the same way the Golden Shiek looked after him.
Callis thinks years ahead. Him returning to the business wasn't so he could do a podcast or do commentary for NJPW. Coming to IMPACT Wreslting was part of a multi-step process. It was all about getting Kenny Omega to the top of the mountain.
Callis said that the Chris Jericho-Kenny Omega match in NJPW was what birthed AEW, proving that, yes, Don Callis was behind everything. From the match that created AEW to what's been dubbed the "Golden Screwjob" he's done it all. "Some people make matches," said Callis. "Some people like to make memories. Kenny Omega and Don Callis, we make history."
Josh Mathews asked if what happened on AEW Dynamite, has that hurt Kenny Omega's credibility at this point? Callis and Omega were offended. Omega said that Callis was a father figure to him. When Moxley attacked the IMPACT Wrestling Co-Executive VP, but more importantly, someone so utterly important to Omega personally, he did the only thing that felt right. He bashed Moxley in the skull with the microphone.
Kenny Omega then decided to reveal why he came to IMPACT Wrestling. He compared capturing titles to collecting comics. He's been AAA Champion, he's the AEW World Champion...why not go after the IMPACT Wrestling World Champion? Kenny Omega may, in fact, go after some gold in IMPACT Wrestling in the near future.
That night wasn't tonight, though. He left IMPACT Wrestling and AEW fans with the "Goodbye and goodnight, bang" before they left for Jacksonville.
