He then calls out Hammerstone so they can settle things right now. Hammerstone fails to show, and "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams shows up instead. Tracy Williams says Alexander should be worried about the best professional wrestlers in the world before stating he is one of them.

He wants to give Cheeseburger the chance to prove he is not a novelty, but he will not make it easy for him.

We hear from Cheeseburger, who now has a new image and is now calling himself "World Famous CB" in an attempt to get past the ceiling that the nickname of "Cheeseburger" - which was given to him by Charlie Haas - has placed upon him. World Famous CB talks about how he got his start in Ring of Honor and how the nickname of "Cheeseburger" both led him to numerous tours of Japan and teaming with Jushin "Thunder" Liger and relegated him to being a novelty act despite being a ten-year veteran and a trainer in the ROH Dojo. He says that "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams is not only bare bones as a wrestler, but one of the best, but he has a rhythm and he has some moves that nobody has seen before. He says there is not a limb he cannot bend and a joint he cannot manipulate, and while he may not be the biggest guy, his size gives him an advantage when it comes to escaping holds.

He says that Sydal may be one of the best high-flyers, he is taking opportunity away from someone like him who is a pure wrestler.

He says that it is important that he win the Pure Championship, for he is the foundation of professional wrestling.

He says that men are fallible and eventually conform, especially names synonymous with Ring of Honor.
