Marty Scurll talks about how the fans are going to see a show of the size that only the WWE put on. The fans will have followed to some of the wrestlers careers and seen them in tiny buildings like Reseda and now they are here. Cody talks about how it is a sell out and there are no comp tickets. They sit and drink in the scene as the opening titles run.

Even when Stephen Amell was accused of killing Ryan, Joey remined hidden, waiting for his opportunity. He needed to find the right time to take his revenge and he wasn't going to come alone. He was coming with and army of dicks. Footage follows of Ryan's enterance at *All In* and then him dick flipping Hangman in the ring. The *HighSpots.com* trading card advert follows.

The next day Matt is in a supermarket buying crates of bottled water for the performers and crew and talks about how they are doing everything themselves. At the venue he goes inside to watch the ring crew setting up. Cut to Nick preparing for a meet and greet at the local TGI Fridays. A montage follows of the cast posing with fans in the restaurant and signing autographs. Matt then addresses the fans and says that the show will be like the Woodstock of wrestling.

The next morning Matt, Nick, Dana, Marty and Brandon are in the car getting coffees before heading to the show. Matt says he didn't get much sleep and today feels like christmas. They arrive in the venue loading bay and unpack their gear. Nick has an All In belt that they were presented with and Marty goofs around with it, doing an impersonation of the Ultimate Warrior. Once insisde they look at the set now that it has been completed. They walk out onto the stage and down to enterance ramp and watch the light show being run through.

Later Nick and Brandon are delivering the Cracker Barrel backstage catering as the crew begin to set it up. Later they are watching Cody rehearse his enterance and Marty laughs and says he would never do anything like that.

Stephen Amell is in his locker room when Hurricane Helms appears. Helms tells Amell that if he has ant trouble, Helms will be there to help. Amell says that he wants to face Christopher Daniels on his own but Helms says that he isn't talking about wrestling, but rather that he will help Aemll on his show *Arrow* before 'flying' off again leavin Amell looking confused.

Matt and Nick are in the locker room as the show is about to start. They have last minute nerves but are excited to kick things off. Footage of their enterance alongside Cody follows.

Matt and Nick congratulate Flip when he returns backstage. Cody poses for pictures with Diamond Dallas Page and Tommy Dreamer before watching the end of Kenny Omega's match on the backstage monitors. They see Kenny getting beaten down after being victorious against Penta, but when the Mexican removes his mask it is actually Chris Jericho who has attacked Omega.

The Young Bucks pose for promotional photos with Kota Ibushi as they prepare to head out for their match. Extended footage of the trio's enterance follows. This cuts to footage from the end of the show as the crowd reacts. The ring begins to fill up with the cast and their families as Matt thanks everyone for their hard work. Nick keeps asking where his family are at. Matt introduces Cody and they talk about how Cody had come into their lives and between them they had come up with the crazy idea of this show. But Matt says that it wasn't just the three of them that created this - it was everone in the ring, everyone in the back and everone who came to the show. He says that what they presented was their vision of what they can do with pro-wrestling. Cody suggests that with any bet you might just go *Double or Nothing*. Matt says it is an idea they are playing with but this has been the best night of his career. Cody then addresses the crowd and says that the rest of The Elite are his best friends and whatever happens next they will stick together. He says that no one man or one company owns pro wrestling, everone in that building owns pro wrestling. He hands over to Kenny who says that he can't take any credit for creating *All In* but he knows that it ws the best show he has ever been a part of. He does his goodnight segment and closes the show.

As the fans file out Matt and Nick are on the enterance ramp and reflect on the event and the effort involved in putting it on. They are exhausted but happy they got through it. A montage of the arean being cleaned up and the various wrestlers celebrating backstage follows. The closing credits start but then spin back.

Cody is in his hotel room drinking champagne from the bottle. Kenny Omega comes in and starts to talk about how things have got bad between them but he wants to get back to how things used to be. He says that he misses just hanging out and going for walks and getting food and that he always wanted a good boy for president as Cody looks annoyed. Kenny decides they need a hug and bends down to hug Cody's dog Pharoh who he has been talking to. Cody tells Kenny to get his own dog and Kenny goes to leave. As he does Brandi Rhodes arrives and Kenny apologises to her and says that now he has made up with Cody and Pharoh he hopes that the four of them can be best freinds. Brandi agrees but the Flip Gordon comes out of the bathroom. He is annoyed and says that Brandi is his best friend, not Kenny's. Cody asks what the hell Flip was doing in his bathroom and Flip says that his own is backed up and heads out. Everyone else then begins to wrinkle their noses as the episode ends.
