Moss says they did share some good laughs, but going back to being your sidekick has as much chance as Corbin growing a full head of hair.

Corbin walks away and Moss laughs.

We are back with a look at Raquel Rodriguez.  She says she is the brick wall that nobody can get throgh.  She says she has never ducked or dodged a challenge.  Line them up and I will knock them down.

Roman says we have people on his show running their mouth about him.  He tells Jimmy and Jey to take his name out of their mouths.

We take a look at the next chapter in Lacey Evans' life.

Lacey says they were in small houses with mold.  The more money her dad brought into the house meant more drugs.  Her mom was not there during years when she was needed.  She did not have her mom as a shoulder to cry on.  She was left crying on a pile of dirty clothes.  I learned how to put on my own make up.  I started in amateur wrestling in Florida when I was 15 years old and I was ranked nationally.  When you don't have anyone to rely on, you realize how unstoppable you are.

Imagine having to walk two miles in the rain while juggling a job and wrestling to see your dad passed out and high with a burning cigarette in his mouth.  I learned how unbreakable I was.  What I have been through made me motivated and ready for everything.  I am no better than any of the superstars and they are no better than me.

The lumberjacks make their way to the ring.
