It was identified a while again that they wished the titles on FTR to do a program with Adam Copeland & Christian, beginning on 9/20. Lashley & Benjamin weren’t up for shedding to FTR. Two concepts that floated round in current weeks have been to both do a three-way to get round that and get the belts to FTR, or have Benjamin do an damage angle and FTR would get the belts that approach. The elimination match facet was not talked about on tv in any respect however they did checklist it as such in social media.”
