You guys won, pat yourselves on the back. Make ur money. But let me tell you something right now. If you guys want that title shot, if you need the title shot, why don’t you guys come wrestle us again. I’ll tell you why. The reason I’m saying that is we still have a chance at the tag team title shot at the NWA Tag Team Champions. We are willing to put that on the line if you are willing to fight us.”

Tim Storm Pre-Taped Interview
Tim Storm being interviewed ringside before the show. The interviewer begins by Eli Drake saying Storm has had his ups and his downs, lately more so on the downs. Drake asks what’s going through his mind and if he plans on hanging up his boots for good, to which Storm responds, “There’s a lot going on in my mind right now. I never thought about it at the time, but part of being on that mountain top, I guess, is you can’t be there forever.”
Storm goes on to say, “I’ve been in a valley. I really have. It’s been difficult. I kinda saw this as an opportunity, to not just climb back on the mountain top, but to kinda redeem myself. Obviously it didn’t work out the way I thought it was going to. I don’t regret anything. I don’t regret taking the challenge. Nick Aldis is an incredible champion. I will hold my head up high. I’m proud of the effort I put in to this match. I don’t know where it’s going to go from here. A lot of decisions to still be made.”
“Just hearing you say (the 10 pounds of gold is off the table) is heartbreaking. Hearing you say it’s not within my grasp. I knew it was a possibility.” Drake goes on to say Storm could go after other championship titles to which Storm responds, “Every championship in the NWA is important. I would be honored to hold any of those titles. I just don’t know if that is the direction I am going.” Storm is interrupted as he is escorted away by Nick Aldis mid-interview.
The camera zooms in on both Storm and Aldis who had moved to another corner outside of the ring to speak privately. It can be heard saying, “It’s not my place to tell you what to say or what to do. But I just wanted to stop you before you said something you couldn’t take back. Look around you. None of this happens without you. It doesn’t happen without you or me. We built this house. Don’t let people like Eli Drake waltz in here and start telling you things or putting things in your head that you don’t believe. You know who you are. Everything is possible. I’m not going to let you walk away from this. Ya know? This is your house, just as much as it’s mine. You know who you are.”
Storm is left looking around the empty arena with tears in his eyes, left to think on Aldis’ words.
