Myers says that what happened last week had to be done, and he reiterates this repeatedly before handing the microphone to Eddie. Eddie says that everyone has asked why they would turn their back on JDC and Moose, and says that Moose "is nothing more than a selfish prick" who only cares about himself. As for JDC, Edwards says that he only wanted to ride their coattails to the finish line of their career. Suddenly, Alisha Edwards shows up and confronts Eddie of keeping these plans from her, but Eddie says Alisha lets her emotions get the better of her. Alisha reminds Eddie that her contract is coming up and threatens to not renew and walk away, and Eddie tells her to either trust The System or she is out. Alisha says she does not want to be part of The System, and walks off.

Mara shows up and heads to the ring, and Ryan Nemeth says that Mara has attacked him when he has done nothing to deserve it, and tells Mara to admit that he is the superior athlete and can beat her in anything, including wrestling, like he did at Genesis. Ryan tells Mara to shake his hand and admit he is better, but Mara says that Ryan only wants to feel like a big man and that Ryan had to play dirty to eke out a win.
