Eddie Kingston cuts a promo backstage to set up a match with him, Lucha Brothers, Santana & Ortiz against 2point0, Daniel Garcia and three partners of their choosing.

In-Ring: MJF

MJF comes out and shits on the crowd and says, “Hey, Texas, your daughter swallows.” MJF says that maybe they would like him more if he was anti education and pro incest. MJF trashes CM Punk about his promo dumping on Long Island sports. He says he found it hilarious that Punk claimed to want to move on from him to get a title shot because he didn’t realize having a string of underwhelming performances against underwhelming opponents makes you a title shot. He says that just makes him the new Ryback.

MJF says that Dante Martin has the charisma of Helen Keller on downers but he is a freak athletic. He says that he could still beat Dante Martin with a headlock takeover because he’s the best.
