JB is backstage once more with Christopher Daniels. Daniels makes fun of Storm’s accent, saying they aren’t part of Storm’s demographic. Daniels is an inspiration, which is why Hogan has decided to give him a title shot when he wins. Daniels is going to finish his apple-tini, then he’s going to head to the ring and beat Storm.

Ray thanks Brooke for saying yes, and thanks the fans for having his back in this situation.

JB is backstage one more time with Bobby Roode. Roode says he and Aries are going to act as a team tonight and take out Jeff Hardy. They agree that he doesn’t deserve to be a World Champion. When you think of World Champions, you think of men like Austin Aries, and more importantly Bobby Roode. So they’ll get rid of the garbage, and then the light can shine on the two best wrestlers in the world today. Aries might have a fluke victory in the past, but tonight will be different as Roode will leave with the World Championship.

This leads into a video package, highlighting the events over the past few weeks that have led up to this match.

Austin Aries is the first man to make his way to the ring for the main event, and the Greatest Man That Ever Lived gets a great reaction as he makes his way out to the ring.

Bobby Roode is out next, and Roode doesn’t draw much of a reaction out of the crowd at all.
The Champion, Jeff Hardy, is the final man to make his way to the ring for this match, and he gets a nice pop from the crowd, definitely one of the biggest of the night.

After formal ring introductions from JB, we’re ready to kick off the final match of the evening.
