Shane interrupts and says that Brother Ray cannot tell him who he should be pissed at.

He says that you can stop a revolutionary, but you can’t stop a revolution. He tells America’s Most Wanted that a few weeks ago, they tried to get on them from behind. Today they found out that you do not jump LAX from behind. Konnan tells Petey Williams that he is an immigrant just like them and he has probably been discriminated against. He invited Petey to join them to see how to deal with the white man in this country. Next week, they are going to burn the American flag. They will do that on prime time. Their flags stand for honor and dignity while the American flag stands for lies, exploitation, and racism. Next week, he is going to spit on, urinate on, and then burn the flag. We go to commercial.

We are back and Mike Tenay talks about the prime time debut next week. He talks about the barbed wire six sides of steel match between Christian and Rhino. He has Christian and Rhino to talk about the match. Christian is in the Impact Zone while Rhino is at an undisclosed location. Mike suggests to Christian that Rhino has the advantage because Rhino possesses the key to open the cage door. Christian says that is an asinine statement to suggest that Rhino has any advantage. Christian says that he is willing to go through a list of things that he has an advantage over Rhino. He says that he is faster, more agile, taller, more supple skin, better penmanship, nicer hair, he grows better facial hair, and the list goes on. He says that if Mike wants a complete list, he can ask Rhino’s ex-wife. Christian says that one thing that sets himself apart from Rhino is the intangibles. It is the ring awareness, ring generalship, and ring smarts. He has one advantage over everyone in the industry and that is brains. He is smarter than anyone else. He is going to embarrass Rhino worse than he embarrassed Rhino in his home town.

Mike agrees with some of the advantages that Christian mentioned as well as the fact that Christian has the bolt cutters to escape over the top of the cage. Rhino says that you can talk about bolt cutters and he wonders what they will do when they are shoved up his ass. Where will Christian run to when he kicks out his kneecaps? Christian interrupts Rhino and says that Rhino has been saying a lot, but he has not beaten Christian yet. Rhino says that it is payback next week and it is time for revenge. Christian tells Rhino that he is going to make him bleed again. Rhino says that he is going to make Christian bleed as well, and Christian will beg for his life. He will not have any compassion as he runs Christian’s head along the barbed wire and cage. Christian says that he would like to see Rhino do that right now. Rhino says he knows exactly where Christian is and he says that he is going to kick Christian’s ass right now. Rhino leaves and Christian looks around as Mike sends things over to Don.

Angle says that he hand picked Samoa Joe since he is the top of the food chain and he wants to prove that he is the best.

Angle says that he enjoys inflicting pain, but Joe says that nobody can hurt a man like Joe can. He says that Angle cannot train for violence and pain. Angle invites Joe to come to him and take him on face to face, in the ring or out. Joe does not do this for the accolades. Angle says that he has never been as focused in his career. He guarantees that this will be the match of the year. Joe says that he will make Angle tap at Genesis. Angle wants Joe to remember this match. Joe says that Angle will be broken.
