He accepts Eddie's challenge because it is their final fight and because he can send Eddie back into his hole. He also says that Eddie will never be at his level, and if he wants bloodshed, he has got it, and if Eddie wants his blood, then he wants Eddie's blood in a tidal wave so large that the animals on Noah's Ark would be jealous.

He says that Jungle Boy will be a champion like him one day, but he and Callis agree that Jungle Boy does not have the guts to get in the ring with Omega. Suddenly, Jungle Boy shows up. Omega says that he has known Jungle Boy to be a promo guy, and says that he has nothing to say because he does not have the guts and because nobody is better than him on the microphone. Omega then gives Jungle Boy five seconds to say something, and Jungle tells Omega he talks way too much. Omega swings at Jungle Boy, but Jungle Boy ducks and the two men brawl. Jungle Boy goes for the Snare Trap, but Jungle Boy wisely rolls out of the ring when The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) show up.

Sterling says the monetization plan is in full effect and that Cargill is making 43% more money as it is ensured her family is fed for a long time to come. Cargill then says that the women's division cannot keep her out of their mouths, and says she is successful because she is "that bitch."
