Swerve and Lee were set to go toe to toe, with Rick Ross mediating, but Swerve never made it to the ring

Lee then came under fire from Parker Boudreaux, who previously aligned himself with the Trust Busters.

Although Lee was able to dispatch Boudreaux, another guy attacked Lee near the ring and Lee couldn't beat the odds.
