FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Wardlow head to the ring. Harwood says that for the better part of a decade, FTR have tried to be tough guys, but there was a time in his life when he felt worthless and bottom of the barrel, and outside of his circle, he felt unloved. He says that now everything is different before focusing on this weekend's match, and says that every match shapes his life and his career. Suddenly, Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Satnam Singh and The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) show up. Chris Sabin introduces The Motor City Machine Guns to the fans, and Alex Shelley tells FTR that while they are the greatest tag team on the planet and may have more money, they do not have the influence and respect of the locker room that they do. He says that a piecemeal team like FTR and Wardlow has no chance of beating them, as they, Sonjay and Jay Lethal are a family. Sonjay Dutt then asks Harwood if he will fight like "[his] eight-year-old brat," which gets Harwood's goat. Wheeler and Wardlow have to hold Harwood back.
