DL3 comes out accompanied by his manager, Nigel Winters, for a contract signing. DL3 calls out Cardinal. He says this will be the biggest match of his career, but wants him to sign that he can't touch him to the Special, and that he will get a celebratory 5-second pose over his lifeless body after he pins him 1-2-3 following the Director's Cut.

Cardinal agrees to it all as long as he gets to kick his butt at the Special. He super kicks Nigel, then throws him over the table into DL3.
