William Regal heads to the ring as it is announced that Jon Moxley has been removed from arena premises. In the ring, there is a sort of display case with a covering over it. Regal then introduces MJF to the ring, then tells the fans to shut up how his union with Regal came to be. He talks about how Regal sent him an e-mail after The Firm attacked him, and how Regal says he has grown weak when he could be a great villain. Regal said that MJF has potential, but if he wanted to realize it, he would have to grab the brass ring and not the Dynamite Diamond Ring. He then says they have met behind closed doors, and admits that Regal is a genius. MJF also says that using the brass knuckles was Regal's idea, as he wanted to leave an emotional scar when Jon Moxley remembered the day he was outsmarted by MJF. On the subject of The Firm, he admits that he respects them for attacking as soon as they saw a weakness, then says chasing people takes effort that is "for the poors." MJF then address the World title belt, mentioning his promises to replace the old with the new and says the belt makes him gag and needs an upgrade, as it is tacky and lacks class and reminds him of all the previous champions. He admits that they were all talented in their own right, but none of them are on his level. MJF then says the current World title belt design is garbage like the fans as he throws it down, and Regal reveals a brand new belt with a Burberry pattern on the strap. He calls it "The Triple B" - the Big Burberry Belt - and calls it the greatest world championship in all of professional wrestling because he is the man holding it, and says nobody deserves to be recognized as world champion except for him. MJF says that nobody that the fans push for, fake tough guys like Eddie Kingston and Ricky Starks and fake wrestlers like "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson will never be champion, especially when Danielson could not wrestle his way out of a wet paper bag. MJF tells Regal that some people cannot be helped, and says that as long as he is in the company, nobody else will know what it is like to be on top, as he will be champion for a long time and at least until "The Bidding War of 2024." He says that he will then use the belt as a bargaining chip to make the most money and make more money than the fans will make in a lifetime, then says no one might win the bidding war as he is tired of looking at the fans and that Hollywood might win. MJF then admits that some people were over the moon when he won the World Championship, then he says their happiness will turn to resentment because they are fickle and will soon get tired of him due to all he does. He says that is great, because the fans will keep tuning in just to see who will take "Triple B" from him as he will wrestle and defend rarely, as he is a special attraction, and that people will have to pay for a pay-per-view to see him win. He says that is great, because the fans will keep tuning in just to see who will take "Triple B" from him as he will wrestle and defend rarely, as he is a special attraction, and that people will have to pay for a pay-per-view to see him win. He then says that he will have a title reign that will make those of the legends seem like nothing, and declares that this is "The Era of MJF" and that his reign of terror has just begun. MJF then thanks Regal for making all of this happen, as Regal has given his blood, sweat and tears to the business before punching him in the back of the head with brass knuckles. MJF reminds Regal that he made a deal with the devil, then tells him that the game has changed and leaves him with the same message to "show me your stuff" from years ago before leaving through the crowd.
