Austin Aries made his way to the ring. He shushed the crowd and they booed so he told them to boo really loudly. They quieted down. Funny. Aries said that he exceeded his own expectations and he was out of the X-Division’s league. He said it was time to rename the X-Division the A-Double Division.

Kid Kash’s music hit and he made his way to the ring. Aries cut him off and told him to relax. Kash said that Aries never beat him clean. Kash talked about the ways Aries had betrayed him and Kash was infuriated. Aries told Kash he wasn’t some punk. He said he was a main eventer and the world champion. Aries took off his belt and laid it on the ground between him and Kash. Aries extended his hand and said all Kash had to do was shake his hand and he had a title match.

Kash obliged and both men tried to punch each other. Aries darted from the ring and Kash stood in the ring with a grin on his face.
