None of them will talk to him as Scott Steiner walks up to him and says that the MEM is the greatest collection of champions to ever come together. He says that they have earned their respect and paid their dues. Steiner says now the boys don’t have any respect. Steiner says these ‘punks’ want a war but we’re going to end it tonight and they don’t have what it takes to beat the Main Event Mafia. Steiner tells JB to get their bags. Mike Tenay welcomes us to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for Turning Point as the pyros go off.
