Before our opening match, Veda Scott joins Kevin and Steve at the announce table.
Maria Kanellis gets on the mic and she says that men like the Romantic Touch disgust her. They degrade women. They act like women need him. They say that women don’t have power in wrestling, but Maria says that she thinks the wrong women have power in wrestling. She says that she will take her power because she is not afraid of being in the ring with someone like The Romantic Touch.
Maria says that she is not afraid to take piledrivers or whatever else men want to give her because that gives her power. She wants to prove everybody wrong and teach them that women in wrestling can have power. This man right here, her fiancé, Michael Bennett has power because she taught him his new finishing move.
Michael says that since day one he has not said that he is the Best in the World. He has said that he is better than the best. From now on, it is not just about being better than the best, it is taking what he wants. He will take all of the power.
