I come back a little late, but just in time to see Lambert and Co attacking The Inner Circle. Page and Sky get Jericho in the ring while Lambert sits on the top rope. Sky and Page sit Jericho up on the shoulders of Jericoh and Lambert powerbombs him through the table.

IN the ring, Tay hits a kick, grabs he head, DDTAY!!! Britt looks to save, but just lets Tay hit the move and cover for 1..2…3!!!
Winners: Tay Conti, Anna Jay, and Thunder Rosa
I mean, it wasn’t pretty, but the goal here was to give Tay some time to shine, and it’s such a beautiful thing to do considering the next match she is going to have. To the average viewer, Tay may seem “beneath” Britt, and although I don’t want to compare the two, I feel the WWE would make sure that you still felt that way, even before the big showdown. This match alone (and the past few weeks) were designed to let us be ok with considering Tay on the same level as Britt. It’s so amazing.

Miro tells Bryan that this isn’t personal. He is everything to some, but nothing to Miro. He asks Bryan if he knows his God; is he messing with Miro or testing him? Is Bryan willing to trade his bad neck for Miro’s? All of this will happen because his God fears him. Bryan came here to feel alive, but Miro is a man holding a scythe. This isn’t personal.

Tony is in the ring, and he is here for the contrct signing.
After Page and Omega come down, Tony asks who will sign first. Page offers to do so, and flips the contract through – which, I know is small, but actually looks like a contact. Before he signs, he grabs the mic.
He says that after all this time, he doesn’t know what’s left to say. He knows ht the sooner he signs this, the sooner he gets to Full Gear to beat Oemga’s ass for the title. He signs.
Omega tells Page that all these cheers, this crowd, all of it, was all for Page, but he was so insecure. All the love? It was never Page. It was always The Elite who sat him back on the horse to send him out to give the people what he thought they wanted – Cowboy Shit. Why would he do that? Even after he denied them coming back to the group. It’s because he saw a little bit of himself in Page. What a disappointment.
Page says maybe he is right, but Omega once had a tag team partner he didn’t measure up to, either. But, Page looks across the ring and sees him now – The Wrestling God. It might be fair to say that Omega has surpassed this former partner. IN the psat few years, he told a lot of lies. The biggest one was at Full Gear, though. He knelt over his body and said, “Good job, Hanger, I’m proud of you.” He isn’t proud of Page, he is afraid of Page. He didn’t want Page to light a fire under his ass to prove himself, redeem himself. He didn’t want it to make Page become what Omega has become, owhat he will become when he beats him this Saturday.
Omega says no, Page has got it all wrong – he did this out of necessity. Believe it or not, he cares about Page. He wanted to be the guy across this table. Whether they’ll be friends or team again, he doesn’t know, but he wants to shake hands one last time. Let’s kill it at the PPV, man to man.
Page shakes Omega’s hand. Page tells him good job, then says he is proud of Page.
THE CAMERA MAN ATTACKS PAGE FROM BEHIND!!! ITS DON CALLIS!!!
Omega screams he did this because he loves Page. Don’t you get it? He laughs it off. Don says the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to make the world think he never existed. Does this look like someone who is ready to win the title?
Page is busted open and Kenny grabs some of this blood to sign the contract with the blood of Page.
End Show
