This goes back to two years ago when Zach first let him down. One of the greatest tag teams in NXT history . . . done. MSK was dead and when all of that happened, everyone felt sad for Zach.

No Mercy is coming, but when they have their match, you are going to learn first hand that everything he said here is true. He will show no mercy when he beats the living hell out of you.
