Zeda Zhang introduces The OXP. The OXP hypes the crowd up, then gets interrupted by Jordan Cruz and The Epic. Jordan Cruz says that he is glad The OXP is here, as Championship Wrestling needs stars, then says that everyone actually came to see him, not The OXP, because he is the main attraction and hot commodity and this is his house. Cruz then demands that The OXP wipe his feet at the door and show him respects, and while he can be a giving star, he can take, and if The OXP even so much as thinks of taking his title, he will stomp that idea until it is dust and ash. The OXP takes this as an opportunity to face Jordan Cruz for the UWN World Championship, as nothing would make him happier than to see him go back home and cry after ending up flat on his back looking at the lights. Cruz tosses his title at The OXP, but The OXP ducks the clothesline and nearly kicks Jordan Cruz's head off. Cruz immediately retreats, and The Epic ends up being the only thing between The OXP and Jordan Cruz.

He then says that the last seventeen years belong to Cole, but the next seventeen belong to him. Everyone else then leaves the room at Garcia and Cole's request.
