It's time for TV Time with "The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho. The Learning Tree ("The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho and "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith) heads to the ring, and Jericho almost calls Indianapolis, Indiana "Minneapolis." He says he has sent Big Bill on a pilgrimage to Nepal to learn the knowledge of the learning tree, then says Bryan Keith is here. Bryan Keith demands that everyone respect Jericho. Jericho then announces that at Final Battle, he wants to give the fans something special and keep himself on his toes, and says that he will face somebody from New York City with a warrior mentality and the attitude of a fighter, calling himself "The King of New York" in the process, and names some potential opponents, including Frank Sinatra, as he does it. Bryan Keith says Jericho could kick Sinatra's ass, and Jericho says he will do it his way. All of a sudden, Matt Cardona shows up, and Jericho shoves one of the cardboard trees in the ring in frustration before confronting Cardona, who takes the microphone away from Jericho as he almost calls him "Zack Ryder." Cardona tells Jericho to learn his name quickly, as he will be the one to wrestle him at Final Battle and become ROH World Champion. He then knocks the cowboy hat off Jericho's head before leaving.
