Cage stated that as far as he is concerned, any notion of them being a contender is null and void. After some more words, Cage stated that perhaps Malakai is out here for some fatherly advice and brought up how the Patriarchy walked through the Bang Bang Gang a couple weeks ago.

This led to the lights going out again and when they came back on, Matthews was in ring ring standing alongside Black and King. The Patriarchy then ran out of the ring and tried to escape only to get cut off by the Bang Bang Gang and Kip Sabian. All of the Patriarchy except for Wayne managed to escape through the crowd while Wayne was left all by himself to get a beat down by HoB.
