In Ring:
Trick Williams and his lawyer. Williams and his lawyer came back to the ring. Williams claimed assault and declared the ring a crime scene. The lawyer fed Williams lines about how it was a unsafe working environment and that he only has to defend the title every 50 days. Santino Marella came out to do the mat and figured out that Bound for Glory is two days past the 50 day deadline. The lawyer interjected before Marella could make the match official, so Marella laid the lawyer out with the Cobra.
End the show.
