Mr. Anderson and Ethan Carter III Segment:
Anderson says the crowd is lively tonight and mocked Carter for being boring last week. He wants to kick his ass, and then Carter makes his way out to the ring with Tyrus. Carter says it sucks when someone interrupts your speech, and we get a dueling you can’t wrestle/yes he can chant. Carter says he cannot be copied, and says his campaign is no joke and is very real. Anderson says he knows Carter wants the title, and he needs to win it.
Carter says he leaves people bloodied and he collects scalps while defeating all Hall of Famers. He is undefeated and unbeatable. Carter says his undefeated streak is the most important thing to him, and Anderson reveals a “beat the streak” sign. This does not amuse Carter, and Carter promises to make Anderson a footnote in his record-breaking streak. Anderson challenges him to a match live on May 8th, and they will let the fans vote on the stipulation. Carter says democracy doesn’t work, but if this is what it takes to shut up Anderson, challenge accepted. Carter then tells Anderson to tread lightly. He then leaves.
