Daniels doesn't seem worried, saying that he had stopped short of taking Stylish out but he will have several weeks to think about what happened. His ego will compel him to return and will give Daniels another NAWA World Title Shot, because Stylish is too vain to accept defeat. Daniels will take the title on the next opportunity and complete the job started at the End of Days. Marion asks about Jerry Lynn, who might be NAWA World Champion, but Scott Steiner says that he has Lynn. He is going to break Lynn like a toothpick tonight and make sure he is unable to get the NAWA World Title Shot that he earned. Daniels remarks that Lynn thinks he is something special, because he beat Raven, well Daniels wrote the book on beating Raven. Daniels will settle an old score with Norman Smiley and Steiner will take care of Lynn. Daniels reminds us that by the end of 2005 he will be NAWA World Champion and that is the gospel of the Fallen Angel.
