In-Ring: FTR, Tony Schiavone, Nigel McGuinness, Daniel Garcia

We start things off with FTR, as their music hits. The former tag champs walk to the ring with serious looks on their faces.

They hits the ring to a string of boos as Cash Wheeler has the mic first. Cash starts with saying what happened on Sunday with not an easy decision…Cash says Adam Copeland has been his friend for 15 years, even before he knew Dax. Cash said that he needed Dax to be wrong. The more he watched the moves, the more he only cared about Adam Copeland. He held down FTR’s careers to lift up his own. Cash then says it clicked at Dynasty and he had to be the one to do it. Cash said Adam may have helped him out as a helpless kid and he is not that anymore. FTR says that they are living legends and they will be treated as such.

Dax then says its the cool thing to do in 2025 is boo them when they are talking…Dax says he has something important to say then everyone can boo again. Dax says last week he saw a sign in the crowd – why FTR…he says the fans should be thanking them…Adam Copeland was begging for relevancy in 2025 with the best tag team in the world and they gave to him…Dax then called a fan an idiot who said they sold out because there was no money involved…Dax says they did what was right…four long months they waited for nothing to do and the only thing for them to do was be Copeland’s egghead…they waited for that one more day when Adam thought he would win one more championship…Dax says that they have won multiple titles in multiple brands…Copeland is too selfish. Dax tells the fans they paid good money to see him, so sit down and shut up. He says that the boys and girls in the back are not happy with him…Dax then calls out Tony Schiavone who says they are not happy. Nigel tells Tony not to go to the ring, but Tony gets up as he says things need to be said. Nigel still tries to stop him…as Tony is in the ring. Dax tells Tony that on Wednesday they were thousands of miles away…Tony says that when FTR arrived here everyone loved them and he was excited they brought tag team wrestling back…Tony also said Copeland was not selfish. Dax then asked Tony about his (Dax’s) daughter. Tony was wondering how Dax’s daughter would feel when she went to school on Monday how her dad turned her back on one of his best friends…FTR kicks Tony and sets him up for a spike piledriver, but Nigel gets up and stops FTR and gets in between FTR. Daniel Garcia comes in from behind, as Dax pushes him down. FTR looks shocked and they pick up FTR and they hug him. Garcia goes to check on Tony…Nigel tells Tony that if he ever does that again, he will kill him…Tony says it was a bad idea to go into the ring.
