The scene opens with a video package:
Just as it looked like Assad would take the easy way out of yet another match the crowd began to cheer, causing him to hesitate for just a split second before lifting the chair above his head. Assad tries to his strength free the chair but instead he feels it fall away from his grasp; Hayden Phoenix was standing on the apron now holding the chair!
Assad kicks the bottom rope in frustraition as he lunges for Hayden who jumps off the apron throwing his arms up still holding the chair. Before Assad can turn back towards the ring his face goes pale as Kruzer managed to capture him in his grasp. Despite a desperate struggle Assad was unable to free himself as Kruzer managed to hit the Kruze Kontrol! Hayden Phoenix motions towards the back as Alberto Rios comes sprinting out from the back as Kruzer goes for the pin. Rios hits the ring not a moment too soon to count the pin.

CLAP.............................CLAP.................................CLAP......................
You can "think" of me however you want... you do not sign my paychecks nor do you make my matches, Assad. I believe the saying goes "fight fire with fire", and so that is what I did. I took it upon myself to step in and make sure that for once you would be involved in a fair match. You can cry about fairness until you are blue in the face, we both know that I simply stopped you from stealing another one and the better man, Kruzer, beat you.
You want to say that I am holier than thou? Sure... I will be the martyr. I will be the one to be persecuted for what I did...I will own up to what I did. I will wear my crown of thorns. You can nail me up as you see fit. And would I do it again? You bet I would.
Did I do it for Kruzer to get the win? Nope. I simply wanted you to fight fair, and as we saw... when you fight fair, you lose. And in a four way dance... how are you going to cheat to win when there two other men in the ring ready to make things fair? And being upset that you were screwed? Boo-freaking-hoo Assad. No one is upset that you got "screwed"... I sure as hell ain't upset. The best way not to get screwed over? Don't screw others over. I would say lesson learned, but we all know that you will continue your ways and fight unfair as you always have.
See, the thing is Assad... you question what kind of man I am? I was simply leveling the playing friend. What kind of man are YOU? A man that needs to cheat every time he goes out there? What does that say about your own confidence in your skill? In your talent? Or maybe we should say, lack thereof? I admit it, I involved myself on my own terms to make things fair and to prove to you and to everyone else, that without cheating, you simply cannot win.
I think what makes you MOST upset is not that I leveled the playing field, but the fact that I showed no tell to you that I had it in me. You underestimated me... you thought I was a goody goody that played by the rules always, and never got his hands dirty. I know that with you, playing dirty is the only way to play. I know what I need to do to make sure things are fair. You are pissed off now? Good. That is the way I want it. Getting under your skin a bit. Unpredictability... that is what I am bringing to this match. Hell... will I pull out something underhanded on you? Maybe.... who knows? You cannot focus on one opponent in this match, and cheat to win... because you have it coming from three other ways.
And when it comes to our little four way dance... I am indeed going to go after you Assad, but I will not hestitate to wrestle either of the other two opponents. As far as I am concerned, I need to walk away from this match with a win... but if you get what is coming to you by either myself, Kruzer, OR Harlan... that is just frosting on top of the cake.
