After the match, Powerhouse Hobbs and Hook went down to the ring. Ricky Starks had the mic and said that Team Taz were impressed by Dante Martin's recent performances and offered him a spot in the faction.
Dante Martin didn't immediately answer the proposal and we will have to wait to see where this goes but this could be a very interesting development. It's unlikely we will see Dante Martin join Team Taz but this feud could be something very memorable.
