Andre Chase talks about what Chase University does for people who have had doors slammed in their faces before.

Ethan Page makes his way to the ring.
Trick Williams makes his way to the ring.
Trick says he wants to get straight to the point. He says he should have come out tonight and dropped Ethan like a mix tape after what Page did to him last week. He promised Ava he would wait until until Sunday. He says he found out that Ethan isn't All Ego, he is All Desperate.
Ethan says maybe he is desperate but maybe he wants Trick to think that. Page says he might be known as a father and husband. You might know him as a wrestler who has been in the business for more than 17 years. Ethan says he glosses over what he had to do to get here, but they have had different paths. He never had a Performance Center with state of the art equipment and staff to pamper and cater to him. He never had the greatest minds in pro wrestling to train him to be at the top of the top wrestling company. Ethan says he had to go through hell to get where Trick is at.
Trick says Ethan had to work hard and he has his story. He will not let Page shame him for being blessed.
Page asks Trick if he has ever been busted open and have blood and sweat blur your vision, knowing that you have to get up and keep fighting. Have you ever been hit by a weapon so hard it pulls off flesh and you have to get up and keep going? Have you ever tasted your own blood and sweat and get the copper and salt that makes everyone else uneasy and queasy so many times that you started to like the taste of it?
Trick says he gets that Page has been through a lot because he is going to bust his ass on Sunday.
Page calls him the silver tongue, dressed to the nines, two time champion. All flash and fake confidence.
He says he hit Trick in the head with the light to give him a glimpse of what is going to happen in the Devil's Playground. Anything Goes and he means anything. He says that benefits him. Page says Trick looks great. He says Trick has every skill he needs to defend the title on Sunday. He says that Trick doesn't have the devil inside of him but Page says he does. He says Trick is not tough and he is not built for the Devil's Playground.
Trick asks if Page saw the wars he went through with Melo, Ilja Dragunov, and Pete Dunne.
Page asks if Hayes thought about every way to inflict pain on you and to make you think again about becoming a wrestler. On Sunday, you see a version of him that the people haven't seen and Trick will see a person that Trick has never seen in his career.
Trick says Page is all talk. He says that Page never beat him. He says that when Page won the title, he couldn't pin Trick. You are desperate and you will do everything to stay close to the title.
Page asks if this is the face of a desperate man. Ethan says he is desperate and he tells Trick that it took 17 years for him to become a champion in WWE. After he got a taste, he became addicted and he will satiate that addiction when he gets back what is his. We are about to play in the Devil's Playground. For the first time in your career, someone is going to make you walk through hell and they are going to use the Devil's Rules.
Trick says he is looking forward to it.
