Cole says he will have to have surgery and he will do everything in his power to get back as soon as possible. Cole says they are the ROH World Tag Team Champions, and because they can’t defend them they have to relinquish them.
MJF tells him to hold on a second and says he knows Cole didn’t have him wrestle twice in one night to win the titles only to relinquish them.

MJF says White doesn’t have a clue what he is capable of and then says he will show White. MJF gets ready to fight, but White ducks out of the ring. They stare each other down as White backs up the ramp.
