Josh Alexander comes to the ring. Josh says it’s bittersweet being in the ring, because the last time he was in an IMPACT ring, it was in Windsor, Ontario.

He says IMPACT gave him an opportunity and he made the best of that opportunity. He says it was all taken away in an instant because of a freak injury. Je said that he will come back better than ever, and he believed that more than anything. He says he doubted himself that he could come back let alone better than he ever was. He says Rebellion happened and at the end of that night he saw Steve Maclin hold up the IMPACT World Championship. He says that was the fuel he needed.
