Indi would never had won the Knockouts title if Daria had been there, because she doesn't deserve it. Indi Hartwell came out on stage. She mockingly welcomed Daria back but said it appears her time away did nothing to help her, as Daria is still the same bitter and selfish person. She can blame anyone she wants but while she was at home, Indi became the Knockouts Champion. Daria said it won't last long. Indi asked if she was going to slap her and get suspended again. Daria said she doesn't have to, as Xia Brookside has a rematch clause and will take on Indi right here, right now, so good luck.

He said Leon made history and he's ready to make more history at the PPV.
