Shane- But there's one thing... All members of Evolution DX are BANNED from ringside...
Vince- That's my boy... and just to spice things up it will be No DQ's! I know what everyone's probably thinking... In a NO DQ match, Evolution DX interfearing would be legal... If I, Shane, or the referee catch any of them by the ring, they will ALL be suspended!
