Morrison cut a promo saying that he is not like McIntyre being groomed to be a corporate champion. He asked him when he won the IC title and Morrison said he remembers because an hour later, he dropped on the floor and gave a running chest bump to his Irish buddy Sheamus. He said he doesn’t mind celebrations, but he doesn’t know what the title means. He says he takes shortcuts and tonight there are no rules and anything goes. He said you can’t cheat, run or get counted out. He said the Friday Night Delight will make you fight for it like everyone else.
