He mentions Tyler Matrix and says as far as he's concerned, rematch clauses are 100 years old, and if you lose you should go to the back of the line.

This brings Tyler out, and Tyler says he's worked his butt off for 2 years to get where he's at, while Gunn has been shooting blanks since 2011. Gunn says 2010, but that's his point, Tyler gets handed title opportunity after title opportunity. He challenges Tyler to a match tonight for his #1 contendership. Tyler accepts.
