MJF then says he has some accusations of his own, saying that he does not remember The Devil's minions laying a finger on Samoa Joe, and says that he does not like or trust Joe to the point that they might as well not wait to fight until Worlds End. MJF shoves Joe, but when Joe is about to shove back, masked men all clad in black suddenly flood the ring. Joe and MJF fend them off, but more show up from over the barricade and surround the ring. The lights then go out, and when they come back on, The Devil appears on the video screen followed by a message of "Where can you go? Who can you trust? Next week, will you accept a challenge...for your ROH World Tag Team Championship? Are you a hero, Max?" MJF says he knows Joe will say no even though he made a promise to Adam Cole, then Joe takes the microphone and screams "We accept!" He then tells MJF that the best way to beat a devil is with one's bare hands, and next week, they will "beat his boys' asses."
