WWE Cruiserweight Champion Jordan Devlin makes his way to the ring.
Jordan says he started this open challenge to cement his legacy with this title. When you are the Ace, you live at a certain standard. I am the longest reigning champion, but I want to be known as the greatest wrestler under 205 pounds in this company.
Trent Seven makes his way to the ring and he has something to say.
Trent says there is no denying that everything you said was fact. You are cementing a legacy and you have beaten everyone who has crossed your path. You talk about challenges and dominating the cruiserweight division. Maybe you need a new challenger and the division needs a new challenger. Maybe Trent Seven needs a challenge. How about I trim down under 205 and when I do, you put that title on the line against me and I will be the new challenger to step into your league.
Jordan tells Trent if he can drop the kebabs and drop 30 pounds, you can have a shot at this title. Jordan wishes Trent luck and mocks him.
