Eric Young then gets on the microphone and says that this world is hanging on by a thread, and that this generation will be revered. He says that SAnitY tried it "your way," and it got them nothing. He says that they are not going to ask permission or look for approval, and that they will take. After the commercial break, No Way Jose, who is checking on Swann with the officials, calls out SAnitY, saying he wants Eric Young in a match tonight so he can whup his ass. All four members of SAnitY return to the ring and get on the apron, and all but Eric Young stand down as he and No Way Jose brawl. It isn't long before Wulfe and Fulton attack Jose from behind, and Nikki Cross joins in soon afterwards. Eric Young then lands the final blow.
