Roberts says Archer is chomping at the bit to get in the ring with someone. Roberts says Cody helped get the company going and Roberts (who says he's the best mind in wrestling) says he doesn't get a call. Archer does what he did in Japan and AEW was afraid to initially bring him in because they saw what he did there. Roberts continues that all he's asking is for Archer to get one match with Cody (he mentions bringing Arn Anderson and Brandi Rhodes) and says it's up to Cody, "trust me."
- Cody re-joins commentary, says his left elbow might need a "look see at." Cody says Roberts message comes across "bitter and jaded." Cody says next Lance Archer can debut in the ring.
