He was injured for three months and sitting on commentary, and to get respect, he punched the toughest man in the room. It was obvious it was Neville...until he showed up. As for what's next for Austin Aries, the "expert journalist" is no more, and the "in-ring expert" is here. Neville shows up, saying that Aries has gone off the deep end. He says Aries acted like a fool behind the commentary table, and that he's not on his level.Aries says he's right, as Neville is A-level and he's A-Double level. Neville says he's "Neville level" and that Aries isn't even near it, and then tells him to go back to the commentary table. Aries says he doesn't have to be at commentary to make jokes, and threatens to make one about chin-checking the champ for a second week. Neville says he doesn't have to raise a finger to get rid of him, and says Aries has made enemies backstage. He won't have to fight him, but if Aries wants a fight, he has a locker room who is more than happy to oblige. Aries says that he's written checks all his life and he's been able to cash all of them. He then issues an open challenge to anyone who wants to fight him.

Rich Swann and "Gentleman" Jack Gallagher meet Noam Dar in the locker room. Noam Dar asks about the flowers from last week. They haven't seen them. He asks them to watch his match to see how to get a woman like Alicia Fox.
