Shane Taylor talks about how he has laid Jon Moxley out three times and how nobody has taken the fight to The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) like Shane Taylor Promotions. On the topic of where Shane Taylor Promotions is going, Shane Taylor says he enjoys finding "diamonds in the rough" and that everyone who comes to him becomes a superstar and a champion and reaches the level of success that they dreamed about when they entered the industry.

Taylor says that he has not let wrestling change who he is and that while the money, the championships and the legacy are cool, he still has to be his father's son.
