Takeshita's music hits, and he makes his way out despite Romero's earlier claim. Okada rises from his chair and stares down Takeshita as Callis tries calming a fired up Takeshita. He says he named Takeshita "The Alpha", but now there's an entire family of alphas and because of that, there's going to be some push and pull. Callis poses the final question of how The Don Callis Family succeeds, then says that happens with the rest of the stable doing what he decides or decides. Callis says himself and Takeshita built on the ashes of Kenny Omega's career, then says he needs Takeshita and the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship to put his ego aside to shake Okada's hand.

Takeshita extends his hand to Okada, but Okada flips Takeshita off. Takeshita looks to get in Okada's face, but the rest of The Don Callis Family holds the two men back.
Callis says he can see there's some work to do, then says he needs to show them how to work together. He tells Takeshita and Okada that they'll have to team up with one another on "AEW Collision".
