Cole takes the mic, says he told the world he was going to beat Jungle Boy and that’s what he did (and he did it by himself!). He also mentions Cole is undefeated. Brandon Cutler tries to talk and they tell him to shut up. Nick Jackson snatches away the mic and wonders if they are ready for the best promo in the world. “Nakazawa!” He goes to talk, but the crowd chants “CM Punk.”He tells them to “silence!” and Kenny Omega takes over.

He says all he sees everywhere is people telling him his match against Bryan Danielson was the greatest match. Omega says Danielson put up a good fight, but here’s the problem. Crowd with a “Yes!” chant. The problem was Danielson didn’t get the job done and his record is 0-0, so no rematch, and he won’t ever see him in the ring again. Danielson’s music hits and out he comes.

Danielson asks the crowd if they want to see a rematch, they cheer big for that. Bryan says the fans want it, he wants, but Omega doesn’t have the balls to give it to him.

Hell with me!” Arn says Black will do anything to win a match and destroy the man he’s with, ask Lee, ask his son, Brock. Arn says there is big difference between himself and Cody — if a man tries to steal his car, Cody will let him take it. Arn says he’ll pull out his glock and blast him. He’s not going to stay with a loser who doesn’t even listen to him. He tells Lee to come on! Arn and Lee leave the ring. Cody (and Brandi out on the floor) look very confused.
