Sorensen is shown up and walking around to rehab, but still wearing a neck brace. Jesse is shown working out with, and talking to, his doctor. Overall, he looks much better than he did a couple of months ago.

Christy Hemme is in the ring, and Jesse Sorensen is introduced. He makes his way out to the ring, still wearing the collar, of course, and he hugs his mom and girlfriend before making his way into the ring.

Hemme hands over the mic. The crowd chants ‘Welcome back’. Jesse says right before he came out, Dixie Carter asked if he was nervous. He said it was just good to feel anything, because the last time he was in this arena, he couldn’t feel anything from the neck down. He was in an ICU, staring at the ceiling, wondering if his career was over, and if he’d walk again. He says the last thing he heard before he left the arena, was the fans chanting his name. Jesse says it’s the same chant that motivated him to walk down the ramp and stand before the fans to tell them that God put him on the Earth to be a pro-wrestler. That’s what he is, and what he always will be. To everyone in the back, his family, and everyone who stuck by him, he says thank you.

The crowd chants ‘Thank you Jesse’, but he thanks them. He calls out Zema Ion. He says he knows Ion is listening. He hopes that Zema wins the X-Division title tonight, because just like he tried to take Jesse’s career, he’s taking the title from Zema. He’s making a promise that next year at this very event, he’s going to be the X-Division champion, and he’ll cash it in to go on and win the World Championship.
