Angle says that Lashley is REQUIRED to defend the World Title and he wants to know why Lashley turned down Roode’s rematch challenge.
Lashley says that Roode already had a shot at HIS title and then he asks Kurt if HE wants a shot and gets in his face! Lashley and Angle stare each other down as the fans chant for Angle. Angle says that one day he will face Lashley and Lashley will regret that day for the rest of his life. He says that today is not the day but he will get Lashley a number one contender.
