Bruce Prichard Makes a World Championship Decision
Bruce Prichard comes to the ring with the GFW Global Championship. He proclaims that next year will be bigger and better than this one. The offices of GFW have prepared a statement reguarding the status of the Global Championship. Alberto El Patron has been stripped of the GFW Global Championship due to the situation that happened with Paige about a month ago. Prichard plans to rectify the situation by giving it back to a former champion.
The new GFW Global Champion is Bobby Lashley but Jim Cornette comes out. Prichard wants to know why Cornette is out there in “his” ring. He calls security on Cornette who clears up that he isn’t Prichard’s boss. He reveals that Prichard has been fired and gets Rafael to escort him out of the ring.
Cornette clarifies that El Patron didn’t give up the belt but was stripped of the belt. He also states that no one is given any handouts, they have to earn them. Next week, there will be a 20-man gauntlet match to determine the next GFW Global Champion. LAX makes their way to the ring. Konnan has a problem since Low Ki was robbed of his number one contender’s spot. Cornette gives Low Ki the last entrant in the 20 man gauntlet match as LAX surrounds him. Konnan claims that LAX runs the asylum as Cornette gets the last word and runs off.
