"I earned both of these"

Nigel McGuinness: "Ladies and gentlemen, at this time allow me to introduce the current Ring Of Honor World Television Champion and the new Ring Of Honor World Champion, Jaaay Lethaaal!

[Jay Lethal kommt in Begleitung von Truth Martini, Donovan Dijak und J. Diesel zum Ring]

Well Jay, accept my hand, congratulations. You did it. You said you'd win the World Title, you're now the Ring Of Honor World Champion. So I brought you out here, a few words for your fans."

[Während 'You deserve it!'-Chants ausbrechen, geht Martini vor Lethal zu Nigel und ergreift das Wort]

Truth Martini: "You asked if the champ had something to say to his fans. You people are right, he does deserve this, but these people are not his people. We, we are Jay Lethal's people. Now, if life don't checked you, I will. At Best In The World history was made and you guys witnessed a legend in the making, you guys witnessed the greatest first generation wrestler, you guys witnessed your Ring Of Honor World Television Champion and now your new Ring Of Honor World Champion and the Undisputed Champion in the entire world, Jay Lethal!"

McGuinness: "Well, that's all well and good, but I wanna hear what the champ has to say" [und hält Jay Lethal damit das Mikro vor den Mund].

Jay Lethal: "Nigel, all I wanna say is what I'm saying from the very beginning: I, I am the best in the world. Because, to be the best in the world, like I said, you have to be the undisputed champion of the greatest wrestling company in world and that just so happens to be Ring Of Honor. But, but, Ring of Honor is the greatest wrestling company in the world because I am it's undisputed champion. And that's all I wanted to say, I don't have anything to prove to you or any of these people, so thank you for inviting me, Nigel."

McGuinness: "Well, one second before you leave, Jay. Before you leave, while you're out here in front of everybody, perhaps I could ask you a question: Which of those two belts do you plan on vacating? Because I think a lot of people would assume, that now you're the World Champion, perhaps you gonna vacate the World Television Title or on the other hand as you have said before when you were the Television Champion, you felt you raised the prestige of that title so it was on the same level as the World Title. So the question is Jay, what's your plan moving forward with this?"

Lethal: "What the hell is your problem? I'm not giving up a damn thing! I earned both of these! I earned both of these championships, Nigel, and you knew by the end of Best In The World one men would have both championships and that man is standing in front of you, telling you I ain't giving up a damn thing. And further more, further more I know that when I wrestle, I'm gonna be defending the Undisputed Championship, that means I need both of these to do that!"

McGuinness: "Well, you see Jay, unfortunately that's the problem, because yes, there are two seperate belts, there are two seperate entities, which means that on any specific night you may have to defend both belts in different matches. We already know, that at Death Before Dishonor you are defending the World Title against Roderick Strong and next week on television you're gonna defending the World Television Title against Mark Briscoe."

Lethal: "Is this your attempt at stacking the deck, is that your attempt to ending my moment? You try to steal my spotlight? I tell you what, I'll do you one better. Fine, fine, if that's what it takes that's what I'll do. If I have to defend both of these championships in one night in two sperate matches, I will prove that I am the greatest wrestler-- [Geht auf den immer lauter werdenden Jubel ein] Hey, shut up! I don't need applause from any of you, I know that I'm the greatest! That's what I'm talking to you [und dreht sich wieder zu McGuinness], listen to me: If I need to defend both of these championships in one night in two seperate matches, then damn it I will do it! And you know what, man? So next week, when I defend my Television Championship against Mark Briscoe, I'm gonna destroy him and it's a snowball effect 'cause July 24th at Death Before Dishonor when I step into this ring with Roderick Strong, he's gonna get every bit of Jay Lethal and I'm gonna prove to the world--"

[Die Theme des erwähnten Roderick Strong ertönt, welcher zum Ring schreitet]

McGuinness: "Roddy, you have your titleshot. You clearly have got something to say, let's have those words."

Roderick Strong: "Jay, since you came out here wanting to make something very clear-- Turn to me, square up. You're a man, right?! [und schubst Lethal] I wanna make you fully aware of something. On July 24th at Death Before Dishonor live on Internet Pay-per-View, you walk in Ring Of Honor World Champion and then I walk out new Ring Of Honor World Champion."
