Wes says that you know him by now.  He says he wears his heart on his sleeve and he is real with all of you.  You know why he is out here, especially after last week.  Dom Mysterio.  Dom has the North American title.  THE Judgment Day has all the gold going into War Games and he feels that him losing the title was the catalyst.  He sees red when he sees Dom because he is the lowest form of life and he has a fact that needs to be punched.  Dom has the North American Title.  Wes says he felt like he belonged when he won the title.  All of you accepted him, especially the people watching on TV.  Wes says he wants it back.  He says he needs one more shot at Dominik Mysterio at Deadline.  Before, it was Wes Lee versus the World . . . 

Dominik Mysterio's music plays and he comes out.

Dom says the one thing you do better than anyone is make these people feel bad for you and feel sorry for you.  Two months ago, you were beaten by Ilja and Melo, you took time off and lost to Corbin.  Now you feel you deserve a title shot.  These people's opinions, like yours are irrelevant.  He says he made this title more relevant than Wes ever made it.

Wes says THE Judgment Day saved his ass for him to keep the title.  You will lose at War Games and he says he wants the title match at Deadline.  Wes says he will do anything to get the title back.
