"This match will enable me to challenge Jeff for the championship I should've won last Sunday. But Eric Jackoff added Hardy to the match and made it into a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match. That really biased of you Bischoff." Lesnar stated and received some loud boos then he continued "But after I win my No.1 Contender's match, I certainly will beat Hardy for the US Championship!" He proclaimed and shoved the mic to Matthews then left.

"And Benedict Rockwell is going one-on-one with The Paragon of Virtue, Elijah Burke and that is next." Styles said as the cameras went back to the locker room that saw Eric Bischoff talking to John "Bradshaw" Layfield.

"You know you should think about hiring someone to make your job a little more relieving." JBL said with a grin.

"You can hire people that can handle the pressure of being an authority figure, like me." JBL added.

"I could but those certain people like to push their power for their own uses, like you." Bischoff stated. "But I would like that. I'll think about what you said."

A knock on the door was heard.

"Come in!" Bischoff ordered. The person came in, and that guy was The Rainbow-haired Warrior and the United States Champion, Jeff Hardy. JBL left as soon Jeff came into the view of the camera.

"You wanted to see me?" Jeff asked

"Yes. It's about Brock Lesnar. He came earlier and said that if he wins his match earlier, he challenged you to a match at Redemption. And it's for the United States Championship." Bischoff replied

"Well he's the contender. Then it's on." Jeff accepted Lesnar's challenge then left the office
