IN RING CONTRACT SIGNING SEGMENT
Jeremy Borash & Sting & Bobby Roode: Sting signs the contract first, then slides it over to Bobby Roode, Roode reminisces on the day he won the World Title and became the It Factor, and says that Sting has been nothing but a pain in his ass since then. He’s tried to figure out why Sting holds so much animosity toward him,and he believes that it’s because Sting is jealous of him. Roode reminds Sting of 22 years ago when he beat Ric Flair for his first World Title, 22 long years ago, and he remembers when he watched that match as a fan. Sting had it all and was on top of the world, and Roode wanted to be just like him, but the fact is that 22 long years later, Sting looks at Roode and sees himself because he has all the same traits Sting had those 22 years ago, except that he’s better. He’s bigger, stronger, faster, smarter, better looking, and he’s a better World Champion than Sting ever was. It’s not just jealousy, it’s Sting’s ego as well because he’s one of those guys who hangs around the business and steals the young guys’ spotlight. He wonders if Sting thinks people will forget about him after he’s gone, but the business has passed Sting by and this Sunday, he steps into the ring with the World Champion.On Sunday, in the main event of Victory Road, he’s going to expose Sting for who he really is: a washed up has-been who s hould have left the business a long, long time ago. Roode asks Sting what’s wrong and if he has nothing to say for the first time in his career. Roode asks if the truth hurts, then he puts down the microphone, picks up his title belt,and turns to walk away, but Sting stands up, flips the table over, kicks his chair across the ring, takes off his sunglasses, and smears face paint on himself. Sting smears the face paint on Roode’s face, makes Roode, then unleashes a beating on the World Champion. Roode stares up at Sting in disbelief as he pounds his chest.
