Christian Cage comes down to the ring dressed casually. He asks if the crowd is ready for Lockdown - not much response.
He tells Abyss the stalking and attacks on his family have pissed him off rather than throwing him off his game. He says we all know he’s a monster but didn’t realize he had no balls. He may not be 6"8' and 350lbs, but he’s the Champ. He is serious when he says he will fight to the death.
Mitchell cuts Cage off - up on the screen - and says Cage is delusional. They didn’t do that to his family for the fun of it, but so he would lose control and lose his title. He then guarantees Abyss is going to win.
During the last sentence Abyss attacks Cage from behind. A forearm to the back drops Cage. Abyss gets him up in the rack but Cage gets down and nails Abyss with the mic. Cage goes for the unprettier but Abyss fights back and nails the black hole slam.
Abyss drags a chain in and starts to choke Cage with it. Cage is turning purple when Abyss lets go and picks up the belt. He then grabs the chain and chokes Cage some more. Security rush in and pull Abyss off Cage. Abyss knocks security away but doesn’t go back after Cage.
