GM Teddy Long makes a surprise appearance. "I've come across some very interesting video. I'm not going to mess around. I'm going to get right into it. Play the video." Long signals to the back to play the video. In the video we see the Million Dollar Man & Mr Hughes speaking to Prince Daivari, the Iron Sheik and Abdullah the Butcher. We see the the Million Dollar Man gesturing at the title numerous times. He then point to a brief case being held by Mr Hughes. As Daivari nods Million Dollar Man extends his hand to Abdullah the Butcher. Addullah just stares and Daivari stands in front of him and shakes his hand.
Long "I don't know what went down in this video but knowing the Million Dollar Man like I know him I bet he made a hefty purchase. Now since the video didn't have any audio I can't prove anything. But I am the GM and I can make any match I want. So next week, the Million Dollar Man will defedn the Prime championship against Jimmy Superfly Snuka!"

The Pretty Boy faced the Nature Boy and the Nature Boy won. It takes the best to beat me. So I know this man (Rogers) is going to the top and I'm going to be right there basking in his glory." Rogers grabs the mic. "Lou Thesz you stuck your nose in my business and now I'm going to break it. You see what happened tonight, that's just a taste of what's coming.
