Matthews: "Jeff, last week Brock Lesnar attacked you after winning the 6 man tag team match by pinning you and after that he put you through the announcer's table with the F-5. Why did you grant him a match at Systems Overdrive after what happened last week?"

Jeff: "Well, first of is that I take on any challengers even if they're like Brock Lesnar. Second is that he made a very loud statement with that F-5 on the table. He wanted this rematch then he got it. If he can do that again to take this championship from me then I will everything it takes to retain it."

Matthews then left the Rainbow Haired Warrior alone in his locker room.

Christian Cage came out to his theme Take Over and entered the ring. He grabbed a microphone from the ringside crew and began to say something.

Cage: "Last week I had a chance to have a title shot against John Morrison and I blew it. So now I'm not asking a title shot, I'm demanding one. If anyone here would object that I deserve a title shot say it in my face. Jayden Smith, I want a title shot now!"

At that instant, Matt Striker came out with Big Daddy V with a microphone in hand.

Striker: "We all know what you are capable Christian but you just not demand a title shot, you show them that you deserve a title shot. Unlike the showing you showed us last week, I win matches. Why demand a title shot if you can't even beat the champion at a non title contest?"

This got boos from the crowd as he talked down the ramp. Jayden Smith finally came out to interrupt Matt Striker with a microphone.

Smith: "You know what Cage; you do deserve that title match you want. Instead of a title match, how about this, you will be going against Matt Striker in a Tournament to a New Frontier qualifying match. If you win the tournament you get the title shot and you can call yourself a champion."

Cage: "Champion, eh? I like it. You're on Smith. Get your ass down here Striker so we can get this over with since you're in your wrestling attire."
