Gia Miller is with Ace Austin and Madman Fulton. They’re both in the battle royal tonight. Ace says his business with Cage is far from over. The Call Your Shot gauntlet is the perfect way to get back in order. Austin says his chances at winning this battle royal are double due to the runner up and the winner getting entered.

She won and now she gets to pick Mickie’s. She thinks next week Savannah Evans is Mickie James’ poison. Savannah says yes as she shakes hands with the champ.

Where Steve Maclin comes from, there’s a thing called ribbon chasers. There’s a lot of ribbon chasers in IMPACT Wrestling. He’s in it for the mayhem. It’s going to be tag ’em, bag ’em and you’re looking at your new X-Division Champion.

Gail Kim talks about the success of Knockouts Knockdown as The Tag Champs Decay to talk about bringing in new talent. Kim receives an express package from Sydney, Australia.

She asks if Chris will stay back in Nashville instead of going to Vegas for Bound For Glory, but Sabin says his true love is in the wrestling ring. The lights get shut out as memories are reflected. Truly a dark day in the world of wrestling.

Minoru Suzuki is teased to be coming soon to IMPACT Wrestling.

Earlier in the day, Josh Mathews conducted an IMPACT summit between Josh Alexander and Christian Cage. He asks Cage about pinning Omega for the IMPACT Title. Cage knew a year in advance of achieving his goal to get back in the ring. He wasn’t looking to do a greatest hits tour, he came back to carry his career on. It’s a big deal for him to come back and be the face of IMPACT. Mathews asks Alexander about exercising “Option C.” Alexander reiterates how much the X-Division belt and division means to him. It wasn’t until he defeated Chris Sabin that the seed was planted for Option C. Does he have any regrets giving up the title? Not a single one. Does Christian see any of himself in Josh Alexander? He sees the hunger and passion in his eyes. They’re both also overlooked talent, but that’s where the comparisons end. Christian is on another level. How about Josh? Does he see himself in Cage. Alexander says it’s undeniable He grew up 10 miles away from where Christian grew up in Canada. He’s followed Cage’s career from the get-go. Alexander knows the cards Cage is playing with. Cage says he knows what it takes to win and he knows Josh has a hard time channeling his emotions. It’s either sink or swim and Cage is a damn good swimmer. He’s well aware of Josh’s career. He’s watched him win titles. Alexander has to act like he’s been there before, but Josh hasn’t done that yet. They cut to a clip of Cage at AEW Fan Fest asking who Josh Alexander is. That insults Josh and he walks off. Cage says he thinks he just proved his point about Alexander. End of show.
