*The Gunns slowly walk to the ring, taking the attention of Danhausen & Orange Cassidy so that Jay Lethal & Jeff Jarrett can attack from behind…The Acclaimed down for the save & clear the heels.

*Bryan Danielson to the ring to talk with Renee…MJF interrupts but Danielson cuts him off & tells him that he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, while Danielson has fought for everything he’s ever achieved…and MJF better bring everything he’s got or he’s going to get his ass kicked!…MJF never gets a word out & the show ends with Danielson slapping hands with fans around ringside.
