Let me see if I got this right.  Sammy goes off a 10-foot ladder in the ring onto Hobbs on tables on the floor and Hobbs still wins? I am used to suspending my disbelief, but this is a bit much for me. Thank goodness FTR is up next.  

In the back, Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli are ready to talk, Mox tells a story about how Claudio walked twenty miles to the gym for his first training session in the US. Mox says he is a sprinter and Claudio runs a marathon. He hates that they had a time limit draw and they are pissed off about it, so they will be taking on FTR at Revolution. Claudio says FTR looks to the past and they look to the future.

Cash says that Mox told people to step up or get stepped on, and they are like cockroaches and it takes more than a step to kill them. Cash says if they have anything else to say, they will be here all night. Dax says this is about the past and for five years, Mox has been the King. He has seen people drop their eyes, but they don’t drop their eyes, and to be the king you need to kill the king.

We then get a video package for Bryan Danielson vs Jun Akiyama.

Lexi Nair is with Bryan Danielson and he says that Yu Akiyama is a legend and Eddie Kingston loves him, and Eddie has to watch him beat Akiyama. Bryan says he doesn't respect Eddie and mocks Kingston’s promos. He then says Eddie has wasted his potential. Not only does he not respect him, his wasted potential pissed Bryan off.
