Bobby Roode comes out and screams for Kurt Angle to come back out and get his ass kicked, then he punches the commentary table and walks away. We get back after a break to see Kurt come out and meet the challenge, but Austin Aries comes out and says Kurt should get his mind right. Aries says Kurt is facing him next week, and Kurt may be a cyborg, but he's the greatest and Kurt needs to bring 100% if he wants a chance. Dixie Carter cuts them off and says it's time for the 'Wheel of Dixie', then she spins it and reveals they will have a Submission match next week. Aries wishes him luck and leaves but Roode runs out and hits him on his way to running towards Kurt near the ring. Roode hits him a few times before Aries gets involved, then all three men attack each other before they are separated.
