The Men of the Year are with Dan Lambert who says he took one for the team and met with Tony Khan demanding a title shot. Instead, they were given a Face of the Revolution qualifying match. But, he says he will get a TNT title match before the ladder match.

Spears says they need to go back to the basics and just go for the pin. He then says Wardlow has so much potential and he and Max are proud of him, and hugs Wardlow.

Comorado got in a lot more offense than anyone else has on this run, and looked strong during the picture in picture. Nice job of giving Wardlow tougher opponents to show him climbing the ladder.
