It's time to see the fallout from Final Resolution. What's going on with the world title after Jeff Hardy successfully retains the belt after Matt Morgan gets screwed over again.
The show begins with a video recap of the main event from Sunday.
Video from earlier in the day of Eric Bischoff speaking with the men of Fortune and Immortal about seriousness of getting the titles within the factions because of the impending legal issues between Hulk Hogan and Dixie Carter. Bischoff addresses AJ Styles about losing the TV Title and tells the group there will be no more losers. Rhino enters asking for the promised contract. Bischoff denies him the contract and Rhino attacks. Men of the stable drag Rhino out of the office.
In-Ring Segment
The men now make their way to the ring where Bischoff introduces Hardy. After Bischoff praises Hardy he asks Morgan to come out. Morgan brings a steel pipe with him as he enters the ring. Bischoff says that things are all about fair play right now due to the legal troubles. "Easy E" says that Morgan could have actually won the match but he had a bad referee in Mr. Anderson. Bischoff spoke it over with Ric Flair and someone who will remain nameless and decided that Morgan and Anderson will fight to see who faces Hardy. Morgan informs Bischoff that Anderson isn't medically cleared yet. Bischoff doesn't care. If Anderson doesn't fight then he's done.
