Mansoor sent Bowens headfirst into the entrance tunnel. Mason choked Caster with the custom jacket.
“This is just a mugging!” said Excalibur.
Mansoor: “Now you see what happens when Daddy Ass isn’t around to protect you! We drop you on your asses! I bet none of you thought MxM Collection were capable of this! We wanted to keep it light and fun, but you took our Grand Slam Collision moment away from us. So now we are going to take something from you. Tomorrow night at WrestleDream we are going to beat you and take your spot!
“As you can all see, when the numbers are even, MxM Collection come out on top. So tomorrow night we are going to have a very special surprise, a third man in our corner! I promise you that he is going to make sure we kill and bury scissoring once and for all!”
