We then get a pre-tape promo from Adam Page who says he protected his family from the issues in wrestling, but in one night, that was destroyed. It nearly destroyed his family and he was ashamed to be in wrestling. He knew he had to make a decision, he could remain the husk of a man he was or do something about it. So he destroyed Swerve Strickland’s championship and the last chance he had to have a home and a family.
He says he understands what Christopher Daniels was trying to say to him and he humored him for too long. He listened to Daniels for two long and Daniels crossed the line by putting his hands on him and he will pay the price next week on Collision in a Texas Death Match. He has made the decision on who he will be and he will destroy anyone in his way rather than to be who he was last year.
