We are one week away from Steel Cage Warfare where the future of SCUM is on the line. Before we get to that match, we will see if SCUM can capture the Ring of Honor World Title when Matt Hardy gets his shot at Jay Briscoe.
This week, we start off in the SCUM Limo and Steve Corino says that next week is Steel Cage Warfare but tonight is about Matt Hardy. Steve says that Baltimore is known for losers. He talks about the smell of the Inner Harbor and then he mentions losers like Ray Lewis and Cal Ripken. Steve asks Matt about Cal’s wife.
Steve says that Matt defeats Jay Briscoe tonight for the ROH title. It will feel like his son winning the title. Steve says that SCUM thanks Matt for everything he has done for him and they will show it when they put the title around his waist tonight.
Matt says that he has been resurrected and he wants to give back. He is here to give back to his family. They are closer to him than his real brother.
