Christian comes to the ring and he has something to say. He says that after living through it last week and seeing the footage again, he wants William Regal in the ring right now. Christian says that he knows Regal is back there. If Regal doesn’t want to come out, then he will go after Regal.

Instead of Regal, Tiffany comes out to the ring. Tiffany says that she knows that Regal is upset and he deserves to be. Regal acted the way he did because she wouldn’t give him a title match.

Tiffany says that they each have matches so they will have to wait. Christian does not care because this is where he won his first ECW title and he is ready to defend it in front of his peeps. Tiffany asks Regal if he accepts the challenge. Regal thinks about it and says no. Regal says that he is the one in control and if Christian is offering a title match, it will only be on his terms. Christian wants to know the terms. Regal wants the match to be next week in front of a deserving crowd, not in front of the cretins in Providence. Regal wants the match in England. Christian says that he will see Bill in England. Tiffany makes the match official, but under one condition. Ezekiel Jackson and Vladimir Kozlov are banned from ringside.

Please tell me you're going to put your hand up or it's going to be a back shot or something like that."
