We are back and Ring of Honor World Champion Jay Lethal makes his way to the ring.

Jay says there is a lot on his mind and this might take a while, so he tells Ian that he will take it from here.

Jay lays the title across the middle of the ring. He says he does not know where to begin because there is so much pressure put on him other than being the Ring of Honor World Champion. Pressures like watching the company that you love and put your heart and soul into deteriorate in front of your eyes. Guys like Bully and the Briscoes doing whatever the hell they want and causing chaos because they can. He will not stand for that any more. The worst part of all is there is a man walking around here with a fake belt claiming to be the Ring of Honor World Champion. Jay says he has put his heart, his life, and his soul for Ring of Honor and change will happen in 2019.

Jay is interrupted by Juice Robinson and he is accompanied by the members of LifeBlood. Juice says that he thinks they are speaking the same language. Jay feels the way that LifeBlood does.

Jay says if they feel the same way as them, it does not end with them. There are others in the back who feel that way. That is why he is not here to join . . .

Juice says they were not inviting him into LifeBlood.

Jay says he can respect that they are not asking for his help. That means that he believes in them and they are looking out for the best. The wrestling business is in Finlay’s blood. No one has as much respect for the business as he does. When he thinks about everything that David can do in the ring, his dad must be proud. Tracy Williams is one of the best technical wrestlers he has seen. He saw Tracy and Jonathan Gresham tear the house down with pure wrestling and the house was going crazy. Jay says he learns something by watching that match. Tenille, you are one of the best. They don’t know that you have been wrestling since 14 or 15 years old and you have wrestled circles around everyone. You are not champion because of injuries, but it is a matter of time before that belt is around your waist.

Jay says that he flew to the UK to defend the title against Mark Haskins and you took him to the limit unlike any wrestler has done. You taught Jay something about himself if he wants to keep that title. Jay asks if he has to say anything about Bandido. You are only 23 years old and the things that you do in the ring, he can only dream of doing them. Jay says like all of these people in the ring with you, he does not have to tell Juice what he has been through but you are the two time IWGP US Champion. Those aren’t just handed out. You have to work and grind it out. You can put this company back on track.

Jay says he has tried and it is not easy. He wishes them good luck.

Juice stops Jay from leaving the ring. He did not come out to interrupt Jay. You want to bring the honor back in Ring of Honor. There are a bunch of people in the back and they have to stop singing it and bringing it. There are five guys here and if you can find four like minded people to push the reset button and let’s do it.

Jay thinks about it and instead of all of the talking, lead by example. Jay says there is so much on his plate with everyone demanding title shots, but let’s do it. In honor of the traditions and foundations of this company, let’s do it next week.

We go to credits.
