Ezekiel 25:17 “I will strike down on those with great vengeance and furious anger, those who attempt to destroy my brothers. And you will know, my peeps will know, that my name is Captain Charisma. When I lay my vengeance on thee”. I don’t think that was an EXACT quote, though maybe it is from the New Revised Standard Version….

Christian said that Zeke is correct that last week he was left sprawled in the ring, but in his defense, it was two against one. Christian said that this week he is evening the score, and Kane’s music hits! The Big Red Machine makes his way down to the ring, and this Tag Team match is up next!
