He says he didn't realize what he has done until last week, he says that he stole her innocence from her. And it's almost as if, (even though he didn't,) it's almost like he personally deflowered her. He said that although she can forgive him, he'll never forgive himself.
He then addresses Zack Gowen, he tells him how much he has learned from him, and how much he wants to be Zack Gowen, as strange as it sounds. He says although he's a billionaire, he hasn't overcome as many obstacles as Zach has in his life. He says that maybe they can understand each other, so he asks him to accept his apology.

He tells Vince that he has been through things in his life that would make Vince cry, and how he has busted his ass to become a wrestler and how dare Vince make a joke out of him. He says he spits on Vinces apology, but Vince can offer him what he wants most in the world and that's a WWE Smackdown contract!
Vince says, is that what this is all about" You've got it!" As he starts to leave the ring. Zack seems startled and asks, Vince to repeat himself. Vince slowly comes back and says that Zack will get his contract under one condition, and that's if he joins the kiss my ass club, as he starts to pull his pants down. He then tells Steph to tell Zack to do the right thing, Steph then wispers something in Zack's ear. Vince tells Zack to get on his knees, and Zack does, but instead he gives Vince a low blow.
