James Storm walks to the ring and says it's been a long hard road but he made it. He thanks the fans for always being there, his family, and the ones who didn't believe in him because it motivated him and now he's the #1 Contender for the World Title.
Bobby Roode's music hits and he comes down with 2 beers in his hands. He says he's not here to spoil the party but to join it. He gives a beer to Storm and proposes a toast to him. Roode congratulates Storm for beating AJ Styles and not him. He slams the beers together and Storm lets it drop and clocks Roode. Roode ducks a Last Call and escapes up the ramp. Storm calls him back in but Roode says no way. He says that is unless Storm puts up his #1 Contender status. Storm says 'screw you.' Roode tells Storm to tell his daughter to call him when she turns 18. Storm obviously agrees to the match and says he's "whoopin' his a**."
