Cody and Matt are at a Ring of Honor taping as Cody surveys the empty arena. He calls Matt over and suggest that he is the stonger of the two Young Bucks and that he should consider going solo and becoming a singles wrestler. Matt looks confused as the opening credits.

Somewhere in Japan Kenny Omega is recording a message for Matt and Nick. Kenny says that he has been thinking a lot about the things that have happened over the last month and the things that everyone has said. He says that some things can't be unsaid but that he apologises for saying that the Golden Lovers|Golden Lovers were the best tag team in the world. Kenny says that he was playing to the crowd and that he wanted it to be true but it was a lie. Kenny says that Cody has got in everyone's heads and that he has turned Marty and Hangman into his lapdogs, but hopes tht Matt and Nick can accept his apology so they can move on. Cut to Cody at home. Cody has Nick's laptop and has watched the message. He angrily starts typing, giving an evil laugh as he does so.

Matt and Marty have arrived in Melbourne for a tour and Matt compliments Marty on his Being The Elite t-shirt, which they then promote as being available to buy. Later Marty is working with some young wrestlers, giving them some coaching. Matt and Nick are heckling and they ask to give some tuition too. Matt says no one cares about the British wrestling style and superkicks one of the trainees who is knocked out int the middle of the ring. Marty agrees ad the three of them proceed to beat up and superkick all the other trainees. Once they are finished Marty gives a thank you speech and says he is proud of eberyone as he stands over a pile of fallen bodies.

Later backstage Matt is getting a massage to help his back problems. Marty is also getting stitches put into his eyelid after the show. Cut to earlier and meeting fans.

Marty is talking to someone as he tries to recruit aother memeber for his villain club. He says the person is just what he needs as they have beaten everyone. The camera pulls back and he is talking to Joey Ryan's crotch while Ryan is on the phone. Matt turns up and bigs up Ryan and his penis. Joey brishes Matt off and asks him to get rid of his strange British friend. Matt leads a disappointed Marty off. Footage of a match from their Sydney show follows.

Matt and Nick are in their hotel room on the last night of the tour and Nick says that he had left his laptop in Las Vegas but that Cody had sent it on to him. They watch Kenny's message but it has been re-edited. Kenny now says that The Golden Lovers are the best tag team in the world and that The Young Bucks are just two little bitches. Matt is angered but Nick thinks there is something wrong and that it has been tampered with. Matt says that he is ready for a fight when the meet in the ring and storms out.
