[The crowd continues to shower them with jeers and insults.]
Anthony Moretti: [Continuing] Now, let’s talk about what happened a few weeks ago when we kicked Johnny Moretti out of our group. You see, Johnny, he’s just not cut out for Blood Money.

Night: [Continuing] So, I just wanted to come out here and wish you the best of luck at ‘Jackpot.’ You’re going to need it.
[Anthony Moretti’s smug expression falters for a moment, unsure of Night’s intentions.]
Night: [Revealing a small smile] But speaking of ‘Jackpot,’ I have an announcement to make. Blood Money, you’ll be defending those Tag Team Championships at ‘Jackpot’ against the Starr Brothers.
[The announcement is met with loud cheers from the fans, but Blood Money looks visibly displeased.]
Anthony Moretti: [Annoyed] You’ve got to be kidding me, Night!
Night: [Ignoring Moretti’s protest] And since we’re all here tonight, I thought we should give the sVo Universe a little preview of ‘Jackpot.’ So, how about this: in tonight’s main event, it will be Blood Money, consisting of Anthony Moretti, Junior Gambino, and Joe Barone, facing off against myself and the Starr Brothers in a six-man tag team match!
