Well guess what Claudio, big news, this isn’t gonna be my last match on Dynamite. Tonight, I’m gonna run through you and PAC. Me and Wheeler Yuta are gonna run through you guys. And then Saturday at WrestleDream, Mox, you don’t know what you got coming to you.
Danielson also added, “Listen Claudio, I’ve been a supporter of you for 20 years. 20 years, I have been your friend. 20 years, I have supported you in every company that we’ve worked together with. But tonight, tonight, there’s gonna no support. There’s just gonna be me in Spokane, Washington kicking your f**king head in.”
