Enzo talks about Kalisto signing with RAW and assaulting him. He reveals Angle has booked a title match for TLC.
Here comes RAW GM Kurt Angle. Angle thanks the crowd for the reaction. Enzo wonders why he thanks the crowd for chanting that he sucks. He has something he needs to talk about with Angle. Enzo pulls out the contract Angle signed. Angle confirms he signed it and agreed to the terms. Enzo wants to know why Kalisto can assault him and then be awarded a championship match at TLC.

Enzo says Angle hustled him. He talks about being the champion for Angle and putting this division on the map finally. Enzo wants Angle to worry about making him happy. Angle does want to make him happy and says forget about the match at TLC because he is going to defend the Cruiserweight Championship against Kalisto tonight. Enzo is not happy.

Enzo dances to Angle’s music. Before he leaves, Angle tells Enzo that he is going to lift that no-contact clause tonight and announces the title match will be a Lumberjack match.
