He doesn’t like this new regime and says he feels things are rigged. Pritchard says that asking the audience was his idea. EC3 says he’s broken his back for this company and Pritchard is going to hold one loss to El Patron over his head? Pritchard says he’s going to give EC3 some advice; maybe go backstage, find a mirror, look into that mirror and ask himself what happened to EC3. Pritchard gets in EC3’s face and asks him what happened to the top man in Impact. He says EC3 tapped out to El Patron. Did he tap out of a match, or did he tap out on himself?

Pritchard wishes him luck. The two shake hands.
