Renee is here with Orange Cassidy, Hook, and Katsuyori Shibata. Orange Cassidy has an announcement but here’s Wheeler Yuta. Yuta congratulates Cassidy after the exposed turnbuckle shot, and tells Shibata to watch his Pure Rules match tomorrow.

Here’s MJF and Adam Cole!

MJF said his voice is a little off because he’s been drinking a lot of beers. MJF learned Jay White is one of the best wrestlers of the world, but nobody is on the level of the devil. MJF says you’re looking at the greatest world champion of all time, and that’s not possible without his brochacho for life… Adam Cole!

Who’s ready for story time with Adam Cole, bay bay?! Cole can’t even walk yet, but he will come back at 100% and be the best Adam Cole he can ever be. Cole, however, is worried about MJF. Cole says everyone is coming after MJF from Samoa Joe, Wardlow, and this dude in the Devil mask.

Cut to a video of the Devil laughing.

Now here’s Samoa Joe! Joe says men honor their deals, and it’s time. MJF says Joe needs to take a step back because his breath smells like a skunk’s a-hole. MJF is about to turn down Joe’s rematch clause but Joe goozles him, as Cole begs Joe to stop. Cole says that’s something the old Max would say, but the fans love Max because he delivers on his promises. MJF says he’s right, let’s have the match tonight! Joe declines and says he wants MJF when MJF is at his best, and not tonight. World’s End, main event. MJF accepts.

Joe says he’s good at picking fights, but tonight, MJF became Joe’s property. Joe will always be two steps behind MJF because he’s going to guarantee that MJF makes it to World’s End… and he’s going to strangle him unconscious in front of all of his loved ones.

Match #2. Katsuyori Shibata, Hook, & Orange Cassidy vs. Matt Menard, Angelo Parker, & Jake Hager

Shibata runs into a pair of big boots but responds with a huge pump kick. Brutal chop and elbow combos in the corner. Running delayed dropkick in the corner by Shibata! Menard attacks Shibata from behind and they look for a triple team powerbomb, but Danhausen is on the apron. DANHAUSEN HAS HAGER’S BUCKET HAT. HAGER IS CURSED! Elbow suicida by Cassidy to Hager. Shibata tags Hook and it’s a pair of rear naked chokes, they switch victims, and Cassidy delivers an Orange Punch to Hager! Shibata and Hook force the taps!

Now, Nick Wayne. Nick takes a knee and Christian tells him to get up. Christian tells Nick he can never get on his knees for another person, and Christian says Nick Wayne… is Christian. Nick Wayne will be known as “The Prodigy” Nick Wayne going forward.

Nick Wayne’s mom is here. Christian says it’s a shame that she made $40,000 a year as a waitress since Nick deserved so much more. It’s a good thing her husband is dead because Nick would have disowned the both of them.

Luchasaurus steps to Christian! Christian tells him to get back down on his knees, but KillSwitchASaurus isn’t budging! Christian slaps him in the face! Christian makes him back down and then shoves him in to Nick Wayne’s mom! Nick Wayne goes under the ring and gets a steel chair… make that two. Are we going to see a ConChairTo to Nick Wayne’s mom? Christian teases it, and then hands the chair to KillSwitch. KillSwitch raises the chair but Copeland is here! Spear to Wayne and a big boot to Luchasaurus. Christian is the only one left but Luchasaurus pulls him to safety. Spear and Impaler to Wayne! ConChairTo to Nick Wayne… right in front of his mother!

The MJF/Cole/Devil storyline continues and it’s only getting better, culminating with MJF and Joe at World’s End, which is five weeks away, so buckle up. 8.25/10.
