*When we come back from commercial break, the ring is once more set up like a talk show set. Holden Powers sits in a big, comfy chair with a sad, cheap stool across from him. The Unknown stands in the corner behind him in his wrestling gear but with a "stylish" salmon colored tie with, what else, but little salmon embroidered on it. Paul Heyman stands next to Holden and hands him a microphone. Holden welcomes everyone to another edition of The Holden Powers Show starring Holden Powers and says his guest tonight is none other than one of the current thorns in his side, Xavier Woods of the New Day. Woods comes out and takes his seat. Holden starts by putting himself and his partner over as the greatest tag team champs to ever hold the belts. Woods rolls his eyes. Holden asks what Woods is thinking, taking on The Unknown tonight ahead of their tag team title match at the PPV. Woods starts to speak but is cut off by Holden starting in with the mockery of how New Day is a joke and not only will they lose all of their matches at the PPV but that they also don't deserve to share the ring with someone the likes of himself. Woods says not only will he win tonight but he and Kofi are taking the titles at the PPV. Holden stares at him for a moment and bursts into uproarious laughter. Woods is ticked but decides to save it for his match later and leaves.*
