The show starts with FTR and Stokely coming to the ring with something to say. Cash Wheeler gets in fans’ faces on his way to the ring. Dax, after microphone issues, says that FTR not winning the Tag Team Title was a travesty and an illegal man pinned him and they ask to talk to Paul Turner, the referee.
