After Dom challenged Lee to an open challenge match, the current champion responded by saying: “No, no you didn’t let me finish, I don’t do open challenges cuz things got really crazy around here, but if you wanna get crazy say less, I could go make it happen right now, if you’d excuse me I’d be back right now.
