Mike Tenay brings out AJ Styles and asks him if the rumors about drugs and alchohol are true. Taz cuts them off and offers AJ Styles a place in the Aces & Eights. "The Cowboy" James Storm makes his way out and asks if this is the "new" AJ – a man that can't even turn around and face the man he sucker punched. Storm says that he can be the "new AJ" all he wants, but he's still the same James Storm, and if he wants to punch him again, he's going to knock Styles' teeth down his throat. The Chicago crowd chants for them to "hug it out", but AJ turns and walks away without saying a thing.
