Desmond Wolfe is in the ring and he says that it kills Mr. Mangle that he is in there. The cage is up and he wants to set the record straight. Angle beat him at Turning Point but he was put in an illegal submission hold. Wolfe said that he thought he had all the answers, but Angle changed the questions. Angle did not beat him. Beating someone is punishing them mentally and physically. Beating someone is owning someone knowing that they are nothing compared to you. Wolfe says that by spitting in Angle’s face, he would cost Angle his shot at the title. Desmond says that he is in the cage because he wants to finish Angle. At Final Resolution, they are having a Three Degrees of Pain match. Wolfe explains the stipulations for the window lickers. The first fall is pinfall, the second fall is submission, and the third fall (if necessary) is to escape the cage. Wolfe says that he will hit the Tower of London to win the first fall and then he will make Angle tap to the London Dungeon. Then he will escape the cage to embarrass Angle three times in one night. Wolfe wants Angle to come to the ring and Kurt makes his way into the Impact Zone.

Angle says that if there is one thing that he learned from Desmond in the short time that he has been there. He knows to be prepared when they are in the same arena. He is in his gear and he wonders why he doesn’t come down to kick Desmond’s ass. Kurt says that he thinks he will and he comes to the cage. Angle climbs the cage since the cage is locked. Angle punches Wolfe and hits a European uppercut. Wolfe has brass knuckles and he punches Angle with them. Wolfe throws Angle into the cage. Wolfe puts on his sunglasses and he stands over Angle. Wolfe pulls out the key to the cage and he says to always be prepared. Wolfe leaves the cage.
