JR is out sick still, so we have a 3-man broadcast team. They then show us that Bragging Rights Cup, and whatever brand wins the most matches takes the cup home. Also, the left side of the ring has blue ringposts & ropes and the right side has red ringposts & ropes. The stage is half & half as well, however it is the same stage they always use, with 2 entrances.
