R.C. Aries is joined by Ragin' Craig in the ring for their debate hosted by senior referee Sam Carter. Each superstar will have 30 seconds to give their side of the story and Aries goes first. Aries claims that its Ragins fault that his brother Gabriel was suspended last year when he supposedly switched blood samples to frame his brother. He says at WrestleFest he will not only beat Craig but embarrass him in front of the world and even if he has a new friend in The Renegade, R.C. has Ego Trip. Craig laughs off what Aries had to say and said that he is more of a man than Aries ever will be because Craig had the balls to show up on Aries show unlike R.C on Monday Night. He tells him to look behind him to see his new friend, Aries turns around but The Renegade isn't their he turns back to face Craig and lands right into the Rage Factor. NuTz comes out and chases Ragin' as he escapes through the crowd. Will Ragin’ be as lucky when he faces Aries in a match at Wrestlefest?

Eventually, DDHK levels Ringo with a powerbomb and manages to tag in Smith who goes straight for NuTz and beats him in the corner, Ringo runs at Smith but DDHK gets an adrenaline rush and knocks him down with a spear and throws him outside of the ring.
