Bryan Danielson is in the back with Renee. Danielson says he’s in this constant wheel of evolving and he’s not the same person he was when he was 21, and the same goes for Ospreay. Danielson says he doesn’t feel the pressure but he wants to continue testing himself. Danielson says he has no doubt the fans will enjoy it, but that’s not why he’s doing this one.

Anthony Ogogo is here and attacks both men from behind. STP get to their feet and it’s a 3 on 2 beat down. Taylor and Moriarty hold Jericho up, as Ogogo lays him out with a straight right hand.
Dustin Rhodes is here and he feels underappreciated, and he wants a title shot this week. Ask and ye shall receive.
Renee is with Will Ospreay. Ospreay says his time in Japan helped him feel so comfortable in taking on Bryan Danielson. Ospreay watched Danielson growing up and he doesn’t know if Danielson is still at the level he is right now, and it’s his goal to be the greatest wrestlers in the 20th century.

Adam Copelands music hits and Black walks down the ramp, but Copeland attacks King and Matthews in the ring. Black has a face-to-face with Copeland as everyone jumps him, but REACH FOR THE SKY, BOYS!
