We are back and RD Evans comes to the ring with Veda Scott and Ramone as he tries to take #TheNewStreak to 139-0.
Before Evans’ match with Moose starts, Veda reminds Moose of her previous offers. She says that she is giving Moose one more opportunity to take her up on her offer. She says that she can give Moose a streak like Evans and take him around the world. Veda says that no one wants to see RD Evans versus Moose.
Evans takes the mic and he tells Mr. Moose from one man’s man to another, perhaps he can speak in a language that Moose can understand. He is going to use sports lingo. Some say that wrestling is an individual sport, but it can be a team sport. There is tag team wrestling. When two great men such as themselves pool their efforts, the sky is the limit. As a former NFL lineman, he knows that Moose fully understands what being a ‘team player’ is all about. Don’t fight what is inside of you, especially when it is being offered by a respected locker room veteran as himself.
Evans says that his guidance could be invaluable to you, Moose. What he is trying to say is . . . every lineman needs a quarterback. Evans tells Mr. Moose, he’ll be Moose’s quarterback, but will Moose be his lineman?
Moose thinks about it and he shakes Evans hand.
Veda says that she knew it. Just like #TheNewStreak, they are in the City of Brotherly Love, this is what happens when two becomes one.
