Bobo Sweetcakes is interviewed about his loss to David Slayton. Bobo assures that what happened two years ago will not happen again and that he and David Slayton are as close as ever. Bobo respects David Slayton, but does not respect Anthony Royal after he made a mockery of a souffle at Breakdown. Bobo says he's the bigger man and has not gotten involved in his matches during the tournament. Bobo says he wants one final match against Anthony Royal, and should Royal win this whole tournament and the championship, he wants that match for the AXW Championship.
