After the match, Nigel McGuinness comes down to the ring and he talks about how at Final Battle he had to kick Jay Lethal out of the building. He then calls Lethal to the ring.

Lethal comes out and McGuinness says that he didn't expect Lethal to step up, and so he is giving him a warning. He says though that if Lethal steps out of line another time, he will regret it.

Lethal says that he understands and has just been frustrated. He then asks what he has to do to get a title shot.

McGuinness then says the only way is to change Steen's mind.

Then, a recap of the finish to the Adam Cole and Matt Hardy match at Final Battle 2012 is shown. Hardy and Charlie Haas are shown complaining about the fact that Whitmer gets a TV Title shot. Then, the video package says that Kevin Steen might not be the same after Final Battle, but Steve Corino says that McGuinness is just starting rumors and it will be the same Steen.
