On the night prior to this match, Al Snow responded to a request to act as an official for a match between Sabu and Abyss. Sabu and Al Snow have had a long and bumpy personal history, but Snow was willing to try to put that aside so he could referee that match. During the match, the inevitable happened, and Sabu got into a small altercation with Snow. Now the brass of UWF has decided that a match between Sabu and Al Snow might be able to put this all to rest once and for all.
