Story
The episode opens at home with Kenny Omega who talks about how he has felt almost broken since his loss at Wrestle Kingdom 11 and how he is taking time away to consider his future. He says he doesn't know what he is going to do next or where he will end up, but it is a decision he is going to have to take on his own. Cut to a post Wrestle Kingdom press conference where someone asks if they will see Kenny on the 29th January (implying he would appear at the WWE Royal Rumble.)

Nick is at home and says that he doesn't know what Kenny is going to do. Back at the press conference Kenny says that if people are expecting something to happen on the WWE Network on the 29th, he isn't sure that he can pull a rabbit out of a hat by that date. Nick says that whatever Kenny does decide, Matt and Nick will support him.

There is footage of backstage at Wrestle Kingdom followed by more from the press conference. Omeg says that the entire motivation for joining the WWE should he do so would be to be able to wrestle AJ Styles while they were both young enough to put on the best match. Matt is at home with his children and says he thinks that he knows that Kenny will decide as he has been talking with Kenny and Nick every day.

Back at home with Kenny, he announces that he came to a decision and has talked it over with Dave Meltzer and New Japan Pro Wrestling and has decided to re-sign with the company. He is going to stay with the company that has been goog to him and stay with The Elite. He says 2016 was a big year but 2017 can be even bigger but they can only do it together. He promises that the fans will see more of the Elite on screen, on the internet and live than ever before in 2017.
