The Aces and Eights are backstage toasting Ken Anderson's win, then they make another toast to AJ Styles' patching in as we go to a break. When we return, Bully Ray leads the group to the ring, then he says they are an equal and strong unit, and none of them are more important than they other. Bully says when someone screws up, they pay for it, and D'Lo Brown screwed up, but Ken Anderson stepped up and crushed it. He says he is proud of Anderson but it's not about them, and they are going to initiate AJ Styles so he should come down to the ring.
AJ makes his way out through the crowd as the Aces clap and cheer for him, then he joins them in the ring and Bully says this is a big night for them all. He says Hulk Hogan wants him, Fortune wanted to regroup for him, but the Aces have the power and Bully wants him to drink a beer with him. Bully says he knows AJ doesn't drink, but he wants him to give cheers and drink with him, because his heart can be with Jesus, but his soul is with the club. AJ pounds the beer and Bully celebrates with him, then he tells Anderson to give AJ his vest as the fans chant 'you sold out.' AJ holds it up and Anderson helps him put it on, then Bully announces him as the newest member, but the ceremony is cut short as Kurt Angle cuts them off.
Kurt says he knew he would see this someday, and AJ's legacy just went down the crapper because he is disgusted by what he sees. Kurt tells him to go ahead and join, because they'll see each other at Slammiversary, and he hopes he's happy with his decision. Bully and Kurt argue about who AJ is siding with, then AJ puts on the vest and hugs the Aces before having his arm raised. Kurt runs in the ring and gets beat down, then Knox holds him for AJ and Bully holds up a hammer. AJ hits him in the knee with it and throws him out of the ring, then they all do the club hand salute and turn around. AJ spins DOC around and nails him in the head with the hammer, then he runs from the ring and celebrates on the stage as the show comes to a close.
