A solid gold ladder descends from the ceiling and Dibiase says it’s a ladder match on Sunday.
Knight says it doesn’t matter to him what type of match it is because there’s only one man fit to carry the legacy and that’s because it’s his game. Grimes says Knight is right, he’s a little smelly and he’s a hillbilly living on a hilltop. Ted says it isn’t all about the fame and money, it’s about what happens in the ring and when Grimes is in the ring he cannot be beat. You can take his money and his fame because he’ll be taking the million dollar legacy to the moon.
Grimes starts climbing the ladder and says he doesn’t see what he’s reaching for and Dibiase instructs his handlers to bring a briefcase inside. He stands over the briefcase and tells them he expects to fight, scratch and crawl, use everthing they can to get this; the Million Dollar Championship title!
