- Alberto El Patron heads out to the ring and says he finally has a real champion to face, not some paper champion. Alberto continues that Aries calls himself the "Greatest man who ever lived" but that's not him, that's Alberto. He goes to leave and out comes Aries with all of his titles. Alberto sarcastically claps for Aries as the champ sits on the top turnbuckle. Aries says Alberto and him may be from different places, but are still similar, they both love wrestling. Aries says he calls himself "The Truth" in an industry with a lot of fake people. Aries says when he looks at Alberto's eyes, he sees him being disingenuous.
The champion wants to put all the nonsense aside and just fight at Redemption. Alberto tells Aries that he knows he's not the real champion until he defeats Alberto. Little more trash talking and Alberto says to play Aries music as he heads to the back. Aries stops him and appreciates the gesture but asks the back to play Alberto's music, and tells him to enjoy his music because this is the only time Alberto's music will be played last.

First up is Drake who gets a tag team title shot, he doesn't seem so thrilled with that. "What am I supposed to do with this? I don't even have a tag partner, who am I supposed to win this with?" He launches the case out of the ring, and heads to the back.
