Mike and Maria Kanellis cut a promo. Mike says he hates the idea that he isn’t considered the best, because he was the best when he debuted two years ago and he is the best now. He says he proved he is the best when he beat The Brian Kendrick last week. He says it’s about time the guys around here start paying attention, and then says the WWE Cruiserweight Championship is the most important title to him. He tells Drake Maverick to send the best cruiserweights to face him, because he is better than the best.
Tony Nese is backstage for an interview. Nese says he just saw what happened and no one knows what Gulak is capable of better than he does. Nese says he doesn’t agree with Maverick sanctioning that match, and he still wants to face Tozawa. He says whenever Maverick makes the decision, he will be ready.
