MJF congratulated Chris Jericho for his win, but added that if anyone comes to his aid during rest of the labors, then he will lose a chance to face him. However, he added that since Jericho likes to break the rules, Jericho’s second labor will be a No Disqualification match.

The leader of the Pinnacle then said Jericho’s opponent next week is a man who doesn’t go by the rules too. He then introduced famous deathmatch wrestler Nick Gage as the crowd in Dallas went absolutely crazy.
