They went to promos from earlier today with the competitors for the Ultimate X match tonight. They were treated really serious. Chris Sabin talked about how he's competed in more UX matches then anyone in the world. They played up that the Motor City Machineguns would have been happy with either of them winning. Creed played up that he's not sure he's prepared as he's never competed in such a match and that it's the most dangerous match he's ever been involved in. Jay Lethal kept up the Black Machismo persona but talked about the importance of being the X-Division champion and how it will come down to what you are willing to do to become the champion. No promo from Suicide but that's in keeping with his character.
