Ariya Daivari is on a boat y'all! He's talking in a video via phone about taking a vacation for the past few months claiming that he's letting the rest of the roster catch up to his so-called greatness. "Out of nowhere here comes this guy Santos Escobar and he wins the Cruiserweight Championship, and by his side he's got Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde doing the best work of their careers. Tony Nese is trying to get on the good graces of Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, and our former General Manager Drake Maverick is now an in-ring competitor. Joining him are new guys on the roster Ever-Rise, Tehuti Miles, Jake Atlas, my good buddy Mansoor, and even back on commentary we got that idiot Vic Joseph and my close personal friend and confidant Drew Gulak. So what better time than right now to officially announce that Daivari Dinero is coming back. I'll see you all very soon."

Cue the intro! The aforementioned commentators Vic Joseph and Drew Gulak ponder if Nese really is trying to get on the good graces of Swerve. The trio of El Legado Del Fantasma head to the ring, but the Cruiserweight Champion Santos Escobar is NOT in action.
