This team in the ring was put together by money, but you have to invest to have a great team. More money than the fans will ever see made this team. They have run this place since they got here. This Sunday at WarGames, it’s about Pete Dunne, the longest-reigning United Kingdom Champion of all time. Dunne has ended careers. Just a week ago, with the help of a masked man (not McAfee) beat Kyle O’Reilly in a Ladder Match to win them the advantage in WarGames. This Sunday at WarGames isn’t another main event for the Undisputed ERA. It’s about two main eventers in Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan finally getting a chance. They won’t squander a single second. They have no fear of the Undisputed ERA.

To the fans at home, while they’re sitting in their mom’s homes, McAfee wants them to feel every kick, punch, and slam into the steel cage they give to the Undisputed ERA. When you tune into the WWE Network, they’ll want to see Pat McAfee get it, but they’re going to be disappointed. They broke the Undisputed ERA’s spirit last week. Pete Dunne says this Sunday, they will end the Undisputed ERA. McAfee says that isn’t undisputed. It’s a promise. They’re the greatest. The fans all suck.
