Heavyweight Champion Chris Hero, Brent Albright, Claudio Castagnoli, Kevin
Steen and Larry Sweeney) came to the ring to huge boos from the crowd.)

Larry Sweeney: I'll be Nigel McGuinness thinks he's real special right about
now. Nigel McGuinness probably thinks he's on top of the world. Nigel, you're
not, daddy! Nobody comes in my backyard! McGuinness, I've decided that you're
going to get the Samoa Joe treatment and I think we all know what that is.
The difference, Nigel, you've got two tickets to Larrydise...and you ain't
coming back!

(Sweeney glared at the crowd as they booed him.)

Larry Sweeney: Samoa Joe, I don't know who you think you're dealing with, but
we are not the type of people who are going to let you hang around and do
whatever you want. Joey, you're future hangs in the balance at the hands of the
Kings of Wrestling. Joey, Chris Hero is prepared to pin your shoulders to the

Larry Sweeney: Last, but not least: Bret Hart. Bret, Bret, Bret. It's already
been signed. The re-match is going to happen at PWF GrandSlam. It's No
Countout. It's No Disqualification. It's No Time Limit. Bret! Brent Albright
already knows how he's going to come at you. He's already laid down the edict
to you. It's quite simple: GET OUT OR TAP OUT! Hart! GrandSlam! You'll be
leaving on a gurney!

(Sweeney tossed the microphone aside and left the ring with the Kings of
Wrestling.)

Interview:
Greatest Stable Period interview

("Limb From Limb" by Motorhead played as the Greatest Stable Period (James
Gibson, PWF World Tag Team Champions Adam Pearce & Roderick Strong and BJ
Whitmer) came to the ring to boos from the crowd.)

James Gibson: Quackenbush, you might have two title belts that say champion on
them, but let's be serious. We all know who the champion is and it's me. I've
been all over you since you won these title belts and I'm not ever going to
stop until those belts are where they belong around my belt. However, Quack,
it's not just about me anymore. The Greatest Stable Period has a goal and that
goal is pretty clear cut. We want the PWF Double Crown Championship and we
don't give a damn which one of us gets it. Quack, I've already had it set up
and come PWF GrandSlam, it's going to happen. Quackenbush! You're going to run
the gauntlet! You're not just wrestling me. You're not just wrestling BJ
Whitmer. You're not just wrestling Adam Pearce. You're not just wrestling
Roderick Strong. You're wrestling every single one of us with the titles on the
line at every turn. Quack, we'll see you at GrandSlam and make sure you're
ready to hand over what belongs to us!

(The Greatest Stable Period left the ring to boos from the crowd.)
