Declan replied I’m pretty familiar with being the best and I’ll be watching.

Terak is in the ring and says tonight Stalker will be facing Vyper and Wildcat will face Vengeance in the main event. Vengeance interrupts and says it’s not a matter of if he’ll beat Wildcat, but how badly he’ll beat Wildcat. Wildcat stands on the ropes and gestures at Vengeance as we go to break.
