She found some people to team with her at the last Special that she won by herself, but Megan ran them off. She will face Megan at the next Special for the title, and the fans will have no choice but to root for her and she will run her new empire as champion.

Smooth gets in the ring with a mic after the match and tells Corey he should never put his hands on him. He says Corey is just a boy, and he is a man. This will be a cake walk and Corey should just lay down now so he can get this over with. Corey takes the mic and says in his 4 years, he has always been underestimated. There have always been opponents bigger, stronger, and more experienced, but he has proven them wrong. He plans to kick Smooth's teeth down his throat and prove Smooth wrong just like everyone else.
This ended the TV taping.

*AS ALWAYS, THANKS FOR READING!
I thought the tournament was supposed to be former champions. The only former champion was Amon. Why wasn't Melvin or Jay Bradley involved. After his actions, Justin Smooth shouldn't even have the title. If this is the best Dean can do, it's time for him to go.
