Harris: Owing up to the fact that I don't have enough problems, my charming wife Kathlyn shows her face in public after walking out. I would suggest that she stay out of my way or face the consequences. Onto more pressing matters, Shane Douglas. You think you can prove that you are a big time wrestler by beating Fernado Illegal Mexican Immigrant or whatever F.R.E.D stands for these days. You just scraped the bottom of the NAWA barrel. As champion, I don't think I would even bother. Rage in the Cage will be our final battle and make no mistake about it. I will come out on top and Douglas at the Pay Per View you will fall in defeat when I retain my New Age Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight Title.

Harris: I'll just show you how hurt I am, Douglas. Get in the ring and I will show you how hurt I am.

Daniels: I wouldn't have to worry about that gentlemen, you have a tag team title shot at the Pay Per View against me and I shall triumpth over you. Raven will be back soon enough but I don't need a tag team partner to defeat you two weaklings.
