-They hype an interview with Ric Flair next week.

-We get an interview with Nigel, via satellite. Nigel says his rehab is going as well as needs be. In wrestling, you have to have the edge, and he won’t let any secrets out. Regarding next week’s title match, they are all great. Clam Digger Danielson is synonymous with ROH, and is one of the best. He is a good bet. He doesn’t like that he digs up helpless animals, but a great wrestler. Tylenol Black, the supposed future of the business. But he has to stay healthy. Austin Aries, he is wrestling smarter and is acting like Nigel. And then there is old Geritol Lynn. Jerry is the one man that beat him, and no one can take that away from him. But Nigel will never forget that. For the fans, do not doubt him again, he will come back and take his place in wrestling history.

-We get a video history of Kevin Steen and El Generico vs. The American Wolves.
