Tony Schiavone is in the ring to speak with that Snake in the Grass, Don Callis, who comes out to the Chord of Doom and with Konosuke Takeshita. He said he didn’t end up with Jericho but he ended up with the man he nearly wanted, Sammy Guevara, who comes to the ring.
Sammy says he hated Don for a long time, because he thought he was trying to rip apart his family, but instead Don was trying to tell him he didn’t really have one, until now. Sammy says the reason he turned on Jericho is that for the last four years, Jericho helped him back and took him for granted. Sammy says he is done trying to turn the fans’ love.
