We get a split screen of Kurt Angle and Brian Cage confronting each other via satellite. Angle will face Cage at Starrcade International for the AEW International Title. “Brian Cage, the Ultimate Olympian has no fear of the Ultimate Meathead. The Warrior Gods smiling on me has given me more power than I’ve ever had before. With the technical prowess of an Olympic wrestler and the strength of a Warrior, Angle cannot lose to the man trapped in a Cage of his own making. Cage rolls his eyes and tells Angle he better pray to the Warrior gods that his flight is delayed, because Cage is going to put Angle through the damn mat with the Drill Claw with extreme prejudice.

Roberts said Pillman better not worry about Jake and what he’s doing or not doing. Well, Jake better damn worry what Pillman is going to do to him on Christmas Eve.
