Dax says Collision has been built on the back of tag teams, and it would be easy to say they will win the titles and carry the division to new heights.

The Infantry, Captain Shawn Dean and Charlie Bravo come to the ring and put themselves over. They say they respect FTR and may the best team win. They shake hands and say they are coming for their spots. They then say the Tag Team division needs a revival. Dax says the revival is dead, and if they meet them in the tournament, they will be too.
