Savage:"I can only give my most sincere thanks to the wrestling gods that Leo Cruz is still alive and well today. "

Savage steps through the portal and finds himself backstage at the NXT show. He holds up his phone and replays a moment from the tag team. The footage is a loop of Shinnin spitting Green Mist into Leo Cruz’ eyes. Savage lowers the phone and he doesn’t look happy at all.

You know, I’ve done a lot of things during my wrestling career--despicable things even by my standards--but I’ve never crossed a line like that. Hell, even Cyborg, the most ruthless, heartless cold-blooded man I’ve had the pleasure of working with, at least spit the mist on his hand to dilute it first, never straight from the source into a man’s eyes!

Could you imagine if that green most rotted out his eyeballs? What if it seeped through up into his brain and rendered him a vegetable? Could you imagine how absolutely awful it would have been if he breathed in that mist and he ended up losing a lung or even both? I can't even imagine how this company would fall apart if Cruz swallowed that mist and went to to bathroom. No one should have to look into the toilet and see that!

I can only give my most sincere thanks to the wrestling gods that Leo Cruz is still alive and well today. I've spent thousands of dollars to have the best doctors from all over the world flown in to make sure that he receives the proper medical attention.

And I know what some of you might still be thinking: But Savage! He finished that just just fine! Do NOT underestimate the power of adrenaline, and do NOT take for granted just exactly what a heroic effort that was by Leo Cruz. Lesser men would have dropped dead right then and there, but not my client. Not my friend.

What hurts me the most is that that punk Shinnin is able to walk free as though he did no wrong. Where is the compassion? Where is the justice? This is why I ALWAYS have to go out of my way to get my hands dirty, because the powers that be are never around when you need them to take responsibility for the actions of THEIR employees. It's a good thing I gathered my close friends when I did. Kurasuke and Markas damn sure earned their pay checks and my gratitude when they stepped up to see to it that no further harm came to their brother. Now THAT'S what friends are for!

Shinnin, I'm going to be at the pay per view, and not just to watch the crowing of the new Mr. Money in the Bank. Kid, I think you know where I'm going with this. I don't know if you know English, I don't know if you have the mental capacity to form a proper sentence. But come the big show, you better find a way to come down to that ring, look Leo Cruz in the eyes and say... "I'm sorry."

Savage puts his shades on and walks off.
