“The Machine” Brian Cage interrupted the interview!
Cage: “Whoa, whoa, whoa, Renee, why are you talking to these guys? Did you see what I did out there? I just beat some scrub in 30 seconds. You should be talking to me, Renee?”
Kyle: “You really think so?”
Don: “Why are we talking to him at all?”
Kyle: “Don! Look, Cage, you want an opportunity? You want to prove your more than just a million dollar body? I would love a warmup before next Wednesday. So tomorrow night on Collision, how about you against me? What do you say about that?”
Cage: “Absolutely! You’re not going to make it to next Wednesday!”
Don: “This is what I’m talking about, Kyle. You don’t need this. What are we doing here? You’re not getting paid by the match. That’s Brian Cage. We don’t need this.”
