We start with Bobby Roode walking to the ring after a video package of him talking about how everyone is after his title and him being the most dominant champ in company history.
He gets in the ring and puts himself over as the best. He talks about his victory over RVD in a ladder match, a match that RVD perfected. The crowd says "Boo" and he says "Yes, chant my name, Rooode!" He is going to throw the biggest bash next week called The It-Factor's Celebration of Domination. He calls out Hogan.
Hogan comes out to the ring. Roode tells him in one week he will become the longest running champ in company history. He has some demands for his party. He wants the best furniture and champagne in his locker room, with green M&M's. He wants gold confetti dropped from the ceiling during his entrance. He says confetti from Canada: where champions are made.
Hogan says he's seen many champions; he lists many legends. He thanks Roode for taking the company in a new direction, but he says Roode hasn't broken any records yet and he tears the demands up. Hogan says that next week on Fight Night, Roode's title will have to be the one on the line. He says some people in the back would like the opportunity; the locker room empties on the stage, even ODB.
Hogan says RVD should face Bully Ray. He makes a match between Jeff Hardy and Mr. Anderson, Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe, and a battle royal; Hogan will chose which one of the winners will face Roode for the title next week.
