Bruce Prichard shows up, and identifies himself as a creative consultant for GFW. He thanks the fans for their patients, loyalty and lenience for the past year. He then reads a statement which states that Alberto El Patron is no longer the Unified GFW Global Champion, and that El Patron has voluntarily given up the title to focus on his family. To rectify this situation, as head corporate adviser, he can have the title revert back to a former champion, and returns it to its former titleholder: Lashley. Instead of Lashley, Jim Cornette shows up. After a Dairy Queen reference between the two men, Jim Cornette says he's a corporate specialist, and says he has been given a phone call to make sure issues are handled properly. Bruce Prichard apparently doesn't like the fact that Cornette is here for this reason, and says Cornette isn't his boss. Before security takes Cornette away, Cornette calls Prichard a jerk who has abused his power, and that corporate has called him up to take care of him. He then fires Prichard, much to Prichard's chagrin. Prichard says this isn't the last Cornette has seen of him. Cornette takes the Global title from him, then has him ejected. He then says corporate is tried of being screwed around, then says El Patron did not relinquish the title; instead, he was stripped of it. He also says that if you want something here, you'll have to fight for it. Therefore, Lashley will not be awarded the Unified GFW Global Championship after all. Cornette also makes professionalism a high priority, and if anyone steps out of line, they will be dealing with him personally. Cornette then makes official a 20-man gauntlet match for the Global title. Cornette says he does not care who wins; whoever wins the match will have earned it. The Latin-American Xchange then show up.
After the break, Jim Cornette is confronted by The Latin-American Xchange. Konnan is not happy with Cornette being here, and says Low-Ki should be the #1 contender for the Unified GFW Global Championship. Cornette says corporate is making the rules, and that he's only here to enforce them. Konnan warns Cornette not to screw over Low Ki, who says he smells fear from Cornette. Cornette places Low Ki in the gauntlet match at #20. He also warns LAX not to lay a hand on him or they going to jail. Konnan says Boricuas run the pen in Orlando and that going to jail for beating him up would be a reward for them. Cornette tells LAX he gave them good news, and to leave it at that. He makes it clear he is pulling no punches here. He may be a cracker, but he's not a liar, and they will learn that when he says something, they're going to believe it.
