Enter Giovanni Vinci.
He says Hayes was just lucky that goof Nathan Frazer came out and saved him last week, and in the meantime why not open that challenge up again next week at Heatwave? Carmelo says he’s got it twisted, Frazer saved him from him, actually, and he’s not him, because Hayes is.

Santos offers a handshake but Tony’s not having it and they sit down. He says he’s lucky he kept Escobar breathing, and tells him to look at where they’re at and see that he works for him.

He says he’s a prideful person and the Legado del Fantasma was built on— Tony cuts him off and says his stupid pride got him walking behind him. Santos asks what they’re gonna do, ‘cause he doesn’t care for him, and D’Angelo says he’s gonna come work for him and his head is shoved up his own ass.
Escobar says he’s gotten to know who Tony is and what makes him tick, and the only reason he’s don is he sent Ciampa packing, so he’s offering the same. One final match, next week at Heatwave.
