Dean says the last few weeks there have been a lot of problems caused by Gunn and the TV Title situation. He calls Gunn to the ring right now. Gunn comes out and Dean says Gunn thinks he is bigger than OVW. He then took something that precious and threw it off the bridge? They had meetings and made a decision...but AJZ's music plays and he comes out. He tells Gunn that it doesn't matter how many people he had to go through, the same thing would have happened 1-on-1. How about a match tonight? Dean says he had other plans for Gunn, but he agrees to it. He tells Gunn to fight AJZ or be arrested! Gunn says that's an easy decision, he will fight this joker. Dean tells Gunn that if he doesn't win, he will be fired and his OVW contract will be terminated...and the match starts now!
