Fernandez said he was a champion and real champions didn't need time to prepare, they could accept any challenge at anytime. He said he used to be a Navy Seal, and the Seals were special forces, the guys you sent in when no one else could accomplish the mission. Fernandez said his mission was to eliminate the Brothahood and the mission was almost complete. Fernandez said the Brothahood was falling apart from the inside, but there were still a few bricks in the wall of the Brothahood that had to be taken out and Reed was one of those bricks, "…and he's going to be taken out tonight!"

Vachon handed Kevin Sullivan an ax and Sullivan began to hack away at the wooden locker room door. As Sullivan continued to hit the door with the ax, the Sheepherders managed to gain the upper hand in the ring on Ricky Morton as a concerned Robert Gibson divided his attention and concern on Morton in the ring and Lady Amazon in the back. As Sullivan continued to hack away at the door, Gibson finally had enough and grabbed a steel chair and got in the ring and blasted both Sheepherders with the steel chair before leaving the ringside with Morton.
