Their goal is to elevate the lives of young people and enhance their potential. As they did for them to become who they are today.

– Christian Cage arrives in the ring with his clan and security guards to protect the ring. Christian Cage demands everyone’s attention. Cage says security is there because it’s for everyone’s protection when HOOK comes. To begin, he wants to welcome Kip Sabian to his clan. He realized that Sabian only wanted his attention, someone without a father who was looking for guidance. Cage says Sabian stopped him from signing his title match contract because he saw that Blackpool Combat Club was waiting for him. Thanks to Sabian, he still has the contract with him. He loves Sabian for what he did. The two hug.
HOOK’s music starts and he arrives. HOOK tells Cage to hurry up, he’s not very patient. Cage says HOOK is a problem, HOOK is a joker by his actions. It wasn’t an attack, he needed a son like HOOK. He had to make HOOK disciplined. Yes he attacked Taz because he had to take Taz out to get HOOK. But he has a question, Taz saw his face, why did HOOK need the camera footage? Because Taz knows he doesn’t have what it takes to take HOOK to the next level. Taz was in a small company and he failed under the pressure when he moved up to the big company. Taz hid as a commentator. So does HOOK want to be a commentator or a multiple champion like Christian Cage? He needs HOOK and he wishes his father was dead.
HOOK pushes the security guards to the ground. HOOK manages to apply a Red Rum on Cage, but the security guards push HOOK away. Cage’s clan takes the opportunity to escape.
