Hideo Itami takes over the ring

We got a backstage interview with Hideo Itami after this. Itami said that he got no respect from anyone backstage so he saw no reason why he should respect anyone. Itamin then stormed off and walked to the ring. The referee told him that a match would be taking place but Itami didn’t care. He demanded respect from the fans and was still in the middle of his promo when Aleister Black’s music hit.

The ominous Black walked down to the ring and faced off with Itami before Itami backed off and appeared to walk away. He then tried to attack Black while his back was turned but he got hit by the Black Mass instead.
