Christian Cage and "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne head to the ring. Christian addresses Shayna Wayne striking Adam Copeland with a chair, then says that while he could explain it, he will let Shayna explain it herself, and brings Shayna out. Shayna heads to the ring, then takes offense to being booed before stating that Nick Wayne is her son and that she watched Copeland smack a steel chair into his head, which she says led to the choice that she made to protect her son. She says that the one person who cares for her son as much as he does is Christian Cage. Christian says both Shayna and the world now knows that Adam Copeland is "a despicable human being" and "a piece of crap." Christian says Shayna worked low paying jobs for $40,000 a year to make Nick's dream come true and that Adam Copeland tried to take that dream away when his life was the same way, and he wishes Adam's mom was still alive to disown him. He says that Adam's anger issues made it so that their title match was a terrible night for Adam and a great night for him, and that he scored in another way with "Mother Wayne." He says that since his family is secure, he will accept Adam's invitaton to a fight, but he does not take Adam as a challenge for he has beaten him and is now on levels above everyone in the business. Christian Cage then says he will take Adam Copeland out back and deal with him one more time for all the single mothers.

Chris Jericho says he still has a contract for a match and that he will find a tag team partner and take their titles, then tells Big Bill that his Uncle Joe sucks.
