Elias is interrupted by Mick Foley.

Mick apologizes for the interruption and he says he is a fan of Elias' voice.  He says that Elias is good.  He says that as a lyricist, Elias does not have a sincere bone in his body.

Elias says he knows that Mick is out here to talk about the twentieth anniversary of the Hell in a Cell match between the Undertaker and Mick Foley.  Elias says that he sat in the stands in Pittsburgh during the Hell in a Cell match.  He was praying that Mick would stay down but then you climbed to the top of the cell and you were choke slammed through it.  Your life was never the same again.

Elias says that was a special moment and Mick was something special.   That was then and this is now.  You are standing in the ring with Elias.  Elias says he is standing in the ring with a broken man. A broken man who is singing the same sad song for the last twenty years and cannot remember the words.  

Mick says Elias got him but Mick wasn't here to talk about the past but he is here to address the future.

Elias says he is the future.

Mick says Elias has the skills and the tools.  Mick says he is not talking about the near future.  Six nights from tonight.  Despite issues with Stephanie, he had to talk to her about not being the guy on the couch watching Hell in a Cell.

Elias says that if he knows Stephanie the way he does, she probably laughed in his face.

Mick reminds everyone about the stretcher coming out but he would not let the match end because he found the strength to roll off that stretcher and there was an electricity that could have lit the city of Pittsburgh for a week.  He wanted a chance to have another chance.  Mick says that he met Stephanie for the first time after that match and he wants to be part of Hell in a Cell.  Mick says he will not be ringing a bell or keeping time.  When that door slams shut, he will be the special referee for Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns.

Elias tells MIck that was special but he tells Mick to take a piece of advise from him and shut his mouth and go back where he came from.
