We find out that Konnan has been attacked backstage. As Santana and Ortiz tend to him, Konnan mentions that King was the one who attacked him, and to have the doctors take care of him while they take care of business in the ring.
Eli Drake shows up. Eli says the gravy train is rolling right into New York City, then proceeds to make fun of the New York Giants football team's 1-5 record before issuing an open challenge to anyone from the New York City area. The challenge is answered by James Ellsworth. Despite not being from New York City, Ellsworth shows up anyway. He makes a reference to Carmella by saying he was dating a woman from Staten Island and lived in her basement for a little bit until he couldn't afford the rent. He then says he is here for a fight due to Eli Drake badmouthing New York City, then the crowd chants "Fuck you, Ellsworth." Eli Drake jokes about Ellsworth being a fan favorite, then makes fun of his chin. Ellsworth says he may have no chin, but Eli Drake has no balls, and he is here to show him that any man with two hands has a fighting chance. Before he says "chance," he hits a cheap shot on Eli Drake, starting the next match.
Eli Drake beats James Ellsworth. Eli Drake gets back on the microphone and says he asked for the very best in New York City, including "Hall of Fame material." Before he can finish speaking, Abyss shows up. Eli Drake and Abyss brawl, and Abyss ends up putting Eli Drake through a table.
