Foley asked Jarrett what he would be sacrificing at the pay per view? He suggested that JJ give up his managerial voting rights. Jarrett agreed and walked away.

After a video package highlighting Kurt Angle, Lauren is once again in the back. She's with A.J. Styles and asks him about his I Quit Match against Booker T. Styles says the match is about more than the title... it's about pride. He says the word "quit" is not in his vocabulary. He acknowledges that it's not in Booker's either, but somebody has to say it on Sunday. Styles adds that there's no beef between him and Samoa Joe.
Lauren is busy tonight... She's in the back with Matt Morgan. Morgan says when you are a big time athlete in a big time sport, you need to make a big time business decision. And that is why he wants to join The Main Even Mafia. He adds that he hopes Angle doesn't take his loss personally.
