Austin Gunn: “CD I’ll make it really easy for you! How about we do it right here, right now, in Calgary!”
Christian Cage: “You want to do this right here, right now? Well, I guess that depends if the fans want to see it right here, right now? Of course, you people want to see the match because you people are so desperate to see a championship won in this arena. That said, the Patriarchy are the next Trios champions, but there’s no way in hell I’m going to tarnish that by it happening in Calgary. We’ll see you down the road Bang Bang Gang!”
