"Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top plays and the crowd explodes to boos as the NAWA International Champion Miles Stylish comes out, dressed in a three piece suit, the NAWA International Title Belt strapped over his shoulder. Stylish taunts the crowd, as he enters the ring, before hc calls for the microphone. At Blinded by Fury, he'll put the NAWA International Title on the line against a former three time champion in Jerry Lynn. Stylish talks about how the wrestling world is abuzz, thinking that Jerry Lynn is going to make history, by becoming the NAWA International Champion for an unprecedented fourth time and gain retribution on Stylish for putting him on the shelf. However, this is wrestling, there are no happy endings. Stylish bragged that for a year, he carried the Triumvirate, thanks to him, they were the greatest force in wrestling. The fact that Stylish's NAWA International Championship reign has lasted beyond the Triumvirate proves that which draws some boos from the fans.

in a four year career, Stylish says he has accomplished more than the nearly twenty year career of Jerry Lynn and Lynn, much like many other older wrestlers, attempted to latch onto a hot rising star Stylish, to get a bit more glory. It served Stylish well for a while, he got an NAWA World Tag Team Title reign out of it but Stylish also says that he would have won the tag belts as well if his partner had been a mannequin. He will give Lynn his due, he is one of the best wrestlers in the world. However, Stylish is the best wrestler in the world and if it wasn't for the referee's bad judgement call, he would have both the NAWA World Title and NAWA International Title. Blinded by Fury will be Jerry Lynn's last chance at glory but Stylish says this time when he puts Lynn down, Lynn will stay down. Stylish will beat Lynn in the center of the ring and end his career.

As for tonight, Stylish is going to prove that he is a fighting champion and offers to put up his NAWA International Title on the line tonight in the main event, against anyone in the back. Stylish looks to the back, saying that some wrestler in the back will get the chance of a lifetime but sounds of "CAW, CAW, CAW" followed by "Come Out and Play" by Offspring brings out Raven. Raven says he is going to seize the chance to become the NAWA International Champion and he'll have a new champion tonight on Glory. So it is written, so it shall come to pass. Quoth the Raven nevermore! The crowd explodes into cheers, as Raven stands in the crucifix postion, as the announcers speculate that Miles Stylish might not make it into Blinded by Fury in ten days with the NAWA International Title around his waist when Raven gets done with him.
