After the match he says it doesn’t matter who wins on Sunday, he will beat either of them.
Renee is with Takeshida and asks him how things are going so far. He says he’s had great moments but no big wins. He says he may need to go back to Japan. Don Callis hands him a card and says that Takeshida needs something. And he says he will show Takeshida what he can do, and if it doesn’t work, he’ll drive him to the airport himself.
We get a promo from Mark Briscoe, and he says sometimes he gets confused because he wakes up at a wrestling show. He says that the Lucha Brothers are his friends, and the feud he has with Mark Sterling’s team will be settled at Revolution.
Guess I missed that feud.
