Kendrick, I'm going to make this very simple. I can forgive you, but forgiveness is a two way street. You have to do your part. Leave the Apostles. Do you really want to bear the inevitable crosses that will weigh you down from doing Jericho's dirty work? Surely over time the guilt would destroy you. Ironically enough Kendrick, much like Jericho I want to save you. Except, unlike him I don't ask anything in return because unlike Jericho I would actually be saving you not brainwashing you to use for my own vices."
-Ken Kennedy defeats Brian Kendrick in the Main Event. After the match Jericho comes out asking HHH if HHH accepts his contractual stipulation. HHH accepts!
