Bully Ray won the Call Your Shot Gauntlet, Josh Alexander beat Eddie Edwards at Bound For Glory and was attacked by Honor No More before Bully Ray came out to the rescue and faced off with Josh.

Josh Alexander comes out. “Walking Weapon” chants. Josh says he loves the crowd too. He said in the weeks leading up to BFG, Eddie called the match a war, and now he agrees with Eddie that it was a war. But he says that the war is over because he is still the IMPACT Wrestling World Champion. He stands as the heart and soul of IMPACT Wrestling but he makes mistakes. Last year, he came to know that people are ready to call their shot. So he has questions to ask. He calls out Bully Ray.

Bully Ray makes his entrance. Josh welcomed him back to IMPACT. Josh said he is a legend in the business and he’s done it all. Josh said he has studied this business a long time and the Bully that he knows would not hesitate to take advantage of the opportunity. But he didn’t call his shot at Bound For Glory. So he wants to know why. Bully says that’s what Bully Ray would have done. Bully says he has been in IMPACT longer than any other company in history. Why didn’t he do the same thing to Sting, Dixie, Brooke and even his own brother? He said he became the most decorated tag team champion of all time, a 2-time World Champion and a 2-time Hall of Famer, and now he has to do it right. Josh Alexander asks he has to do it right now. He says everyone has been telling to not trust him. Bully says those people would do it in the shadows and not in his face. He says nobody has a good thing to say about Bully. Just once he wants to leave a good taste about his accomplishments in this business. Bully Ray says he doesn’t want to do with Moose did last year at Boujd For Glory. He said Josh is going to see it a mile away. He might even shake his hand before the match. He asks if Josh knows who he is? He is Bully Ray.

Maclin comes out. Maclin says they don’t always see eye to eye, but there is nothing Bully can say that would make him trust him. He asks why Bully was even in the match and says he politicked to get in the match. He says Bully Ray was the leader of Aces and Eights and waited a year to turn his back on the company. Maclin isn’t like that. He comes straight out. Maclin says he beat two former World Champions and asks how many World Champions does he have to beat.

Moose comes out and acknowledges that Maclin beat former World Champions but he is in the presence of World Champions. He says Bully’s actions were shocking. He says Bully is a scumbag. But that’s okay, because Moose likes scumbags and that he is a scumbag. Moose said that he looked at Bully would do anything to win a match and Josh would know how Moose is the same and he modeled himself on Bully.

Bobby Fish comes out and takes the mic from Moose. He said its not like they’re spilling lies. He said Moose really has turned himself into a total scumbag. He says Maclin appears to be calling Bully Ray a locker room politician. Bobby Fish asks where the lie is. Bobby Fish says after the resume Bully talked about shows he is a scumbag. But what he did at BFG was not a scumbag thing to do. He geared himself up in the back. He says Josh has never turned down a challenge. He challenged Josh for the World Title in his hometown of Albany, New York. Josh said there’s a lot of talk and more unanswered questions. The only question he knows the answer to is Bobby Fish challenge accepted.
