Truth says we are here to gather the union of Dana Brooks (and Dana corrects Truth) and Reggie, and for Tamina and Tozawa.

Truth says it is time to get down to business.  He says it is time for some vows.  He tells Dana it has to come from the heart.

Dana tells Reggie he is her knight in shining armor.  From the first time you showed your willingness to sacrifice for me, I knew you were a man of honor.  While it took a while to get beyond being friends, I knew we were meant to be.  Through the ups and downs, our love has grown stronger.

Reggie says that was beautiful.

Reggie says that she is a dream come true.  A goddess with everything he wants.  Through all of the trust issues and temptations have guided them to this moment.  It has only made their love stronger.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Bobby Lashley is with Sarah.  She shows him a message from MVP.

MVP says you are about to realize how big a mistake you made trying to hog all the spotlight without him.  Porter says he has moved on to bigger things, meaner things, and stronger things.  He is an athlete superior to you in ever way.  He is learning everything I taught you.  What can I do with Omos?  Omos would like to challenge you to a display of strength.  How about an arm wrestling match.

Omos says the All Mighty Era is coming to an end.

Lashley says that is not surprising.  MVP thinks he can hide behind Omos and talk trash.  To get to MVP, I have to get through Omos?  I will do that.  Omos is big, strong, and scary, but so am I.  Is he stronger than me?  We will find out next week when we have that arm wrestling match.  People will see why I am still called the All Mighty.
