Owens tells Cody that Cody can admit that everyone of those guys had it coming, except for Kofi. He is great, that was on him. And they never had that relationship. He tells Waller and Theory that everyone knows what will happen. He will get in the ring, he and Cody will beat them up, someone will come out and make it a tag team match but to cut that out. Out comes Nick Aldis and Owens tells him to make the tag team match for tonight and Aldis announces the match for tonight.
