Tony Schiavone: "Alright, Christian, we ended the program with a chair shot heard around the world. You've been a mentor to Jungle Boy and a mentor to Luchasaurus, can you explain what happened?"

Christian Cage: "Tony... [boos] I can stand here all night 'til you shut up, if you'd like. [louder boos] I know the people of Milwaukee aren't very intelligent, so I'm gonna give you one more chance... [even louder boos] It's rude to make me talk over you, so I'd appreciate a little decorum here, please, Milwaukee. SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTHS! [loudest boos]

To answer your question, Tony--no thanks to the rude people here in Milwaukee--you didn't think I was gonna let Jungle Boy eliminate me from the Casino Battle Royale last year and get away with it, now did you?"

Tony Schiavone: "Seriously? That sounds a little petty."

Christian Cage: "Yeah, yeah, it is a little petty, but here's the thing: even more concerning, even more bothersome to me than being eliminated from that Casino Battle Royale was the reaction of each and every one of you when I got eliminated. I am a legend in this business and I deserve--I deserve more respect than to be cheered when I'm eliminated from a battle royal, do you understand me? Not to mention the fact that Jungle Boy cost me a massive roster bonus by being eliminated, and a fast track to a world title shot. So yeah, it pissed me off. But here's the thing, it got me thinking a little bit. Maybe, if these people like Jungle Boy so much, I should do a little background check on him, so-- [Christian is interrupted by "shut the fuck up" chants] So I decided against my better judgement to go on [chuckles] social media and find out a little bit more about Jungle Boy. Man, what a cesspool social media has become, especially considering the wrestling corner of social media, am I right? I mean, you got losers like these people out here tweeting away like your opinion matters, like you know anything about this business, like you know anything about what goes on behind that curtain. You know nothing of my business, alright? I don't need your comments about who I should be wrestling, what title I should be going for, who I should align myself with. I am one of the best to ever step foot in this ring. I got it figured out, thanks. That'd be like me coming to the drive-through window and telling you how to do your job."

Tony Schiavone: "Alright, speaking of social media--"

Christian Cage: "No, I am not done yet. And if you interrupt me again, I'll tear that little earring out of your head, you got me? [boos] Like I said, Jungle Boy cost me a lot of money by missing out on that roster bonus, so I had to recoup it. And hey, in that research I found out that Jungle Boy, yeah, he's pretty damn talented. So what I figured I was gonna do is hitch my wagon to that train and ride it until it went dry. And hey, I thought it'd be a long time, I just make this easy money, give him a little pep talk, come stand beside down here at the ring, do minimal work and cash that big fat paycheck, that's all I cared about. No, no, don't get me wrong. You think I came back to elevate younger talent? You think I came back to help out the next generation? No, that's bullshit. I came back here to make a ton of money and that's the only reason. [boos]

Now, I hear other people out here complaining about their paychecks, complaining about money, I got a little advice for you. I got a little advice, and since you can't afford it, it's gonna be free advice, so take it while you can. Try--and this goes to anybody in the back, you wanna earn my paycheck, here's the deal: Try having a match that people actually talk about more than a week after it happens, can you do that? I'm talking the type of match--hold that microphone up a little bit--the type of match that parents sit their kids down and make them watch it over and over again. The type of match that changes the industry. The type of match they name pay per views after. Do that and then you can be on my pay grade. Until then, eat my crumbs and enjoy it!

Now, Jungle Boy, I said I was gonna recoup that money from you. And you do have the talent, Jungle Boy. But you don't have it here [tips his head], you don't have that killer instinct and somewhere along the way I saw it happening. And here is the final nail in the coffin: The one time I don't give you that pre-match advice, the one time I don't walk down here with you, you lose the tag team championships... The gravy train ran dry, Jungle Boy, so here's the thing. It's like the old saying goes: You want something done right, you gotta do it yourself. So now, I'm gonna have to take control. I'm gonna have to get my hands dirty and that PISSES ME OFF."

Tony Schiavone: "Alright, last week this went viral on social media, what you said to his mom and sister. Let's take a look at that footage right now...

[Post-show footage from last week's show is shown, where Christian tells Jungle Boy's mother that she raised "a piece of shit". Jungle Boy's sister and mother respond and there is a lot of bleeping.]

Like, why in the world would you say that to ladies at ringside?"

Christian Cage: "Listen, Tony, listen! I was only giving Jungle Boy's mom the chance to apologize to me for giving birth to Jungle Boy and she instead flipped me off. But here's the thing, here's why I think she's really mad. [smiles] I think she saw her 'knight in shining armor' go off into the sunset. I think she was a little sweet on Christian Cage, if you know what I mean. [crowd does not believe what they are hearing] I think she wanted me to be Jungle Boy's father. [crowd gasps] And here's the thing, I know Jungle Boy, he looked at me like a father figure, he sure did. But here's the thing, Jungle Boy, I never wanted to be your father, I never wanted to be your father figure. You have a father. But your father is dead. [crowd is appropriately stunned and appalled]

[Christian fully takes the microphone from Tony while the crowd lets him know how appalled they are]

And that's probably a good thing, Jungle Boy, because he would be embarrassed and ashamed to see how you turned out. He'd be embarrassed and ashamed to see you crumpled up like a ball at my feet, refusing to get up and fight back. [loud boos] Here it is, Jungle Boy, enjoy your early retirement at 25. STAY GONE--"

[Luchasaurus interrupts Christian Cage and tries to go after him. Cage weasels his way out of the predicament by asking Luchasaurus to think about what happened to Marko (Stunt) and to allow them to talk in private. Luchasaurus seems to be conflicted, while Cage hugs him, smirks at the crowd and then leaves the ring.]
- Jungle Boy's father was the late actor Luke Perry.
