MJF comes out with Wardlow. JR describes him as a blister on the butt of life and he wants his music cut. He thinks Newark should have sympathy for him, being that he's in the armpit of NJ. He makes a Bruce Springsteen remark which I do not appreciate. He doesn't care about the offensive language he used last week. He claims to be religious and wants a heavenly conversation with Brian Pillman in Hell. He addresses "Hell" and tells him his widow created a horrible excuse of a wrestler in Brian Pillman Jr. Pillman Jr's music hits and he sends Wardlow up the aisle. Pillman attacks but Wardlow makes it back in time but gets backdropped out of the ring. It's Pillman vs. MJF next week at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Earlier today, Jim Ross sat down with Pillman Jr. JR wants MJF's ass whipped next week. Pillman was humiliated last week. He says MJF will never be the same after next week.
Cage, Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus accept the challenge for next week but Cage and Perry don't appear to be exactly on the same page.

We get pre recorded comments from Bryan Danielson. Tony brings him out for an interview but is immediately interrupted by Don Callis and Kenny Omega. Callis is mad because Danielson is making millions off the back of Omega. Callis calls him a mark. Danielson shuts him up and addresses Omega. Right now it isn't about the title, it's about who's better. Callis declines the challenge. Danielson calls the Elite a bunch of stooges.
