We hear from Dirty Dango. He says the played the clown because he was getting a lot of money, and that he has invested that money well enough to the point that he does not have to be the clown anymore and still continue to get paid. He then says that he has wrestlers wanting to text him and talk to him when he gets home - which he does not want to do - and says that he will not complain about anything he has to do unlike other people on Twitter. He also tells the fans to take a shower. As for the Digital Media Championship, he says that if he were like most of the roster, he would have a replica of it, but he brings women to his house and does not want them to see a "toy wrestling title." Instead, he would list it on eBay, then take the proceeds and use it to take a woman on a date in Hawaii.

Before the next match, Joe Hendry says that tonight's opponent is Sheldon Jean, the man who broke his nose and is a reality star under the tutelage of another reality star.

As Dango says he is about to head back to the back, Hendry says he called him to see why he is so cranky before introducing a music video where Hendry makes fun of Dango and calling him a "Divas Reject."

He says Chris Sabin was once a generational talent, but that was then and this is now. He says that he is the rarest form of a generational talent IMPACT has ever known due to some of his successful X Division title defenses, and after Against All Odds, there will be no ifs, ands or "Yeah, buts."
Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Johnny Swinger. Swinger says every ham-and-egger worth their salt know he is the best of the golden era and that his father advised him to find someone to pass the heat to when the going gets tough. Swinger then blames crooked referees have cost him wins and that he has sent Zicky Dice to referee school to have someone in his pocket so he can finally become a champion.
Gia Miller interviews Deonna Purrazzo and Trinity. Trinity says she came here to prove herself against the best and that she has the chance to do that at Slammiversary. Deonna says that is noble, but many have stepped to her and many have failed. Trinity says they are in a dangerous game with "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw, but Deonna says they have both defeated Gisele and Savannah Evans, and that Gisele is stepping into a game she has already lost.

Joe Hendry mentions Trey Miguel not being happy with being put in a Triple Threat Match that he got angry.
Before the next match, Deaner tells Sami Callihan that he made the biggest mistake of his life when he smashes him in the face with a baseball bat.

He says he does not expect to waltz into a title shot for a championship with a twenty-year legacy, and he expects to prove his worth on the roster all over again and go through the entire locker room if he has to as he climbs every step on the ladder. Kenny King shows up and says everyone has bending over backwards to welcome him back like he is the second coming, then asks if he is on the fast track or work his way up like everyone else. Aldis accuses Kenny of being a gatekeeper and says he is knocking on the gate, and if he wants to be his first match, he has no problem with it. Kenny says he will have to work his way up to an audience with him and leaves.
Jody Threat beats Alisha Edwards.
Backstage, Gia Miller interviews The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley).

As for Shelley, he says that he is considered one of the best to never win the World Championship and that he is going to go and win the World Championship.

She says she came to IMPACT to make an impact and win the Knockouts World Championship, then "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo shows up. Purrazzo takes the invocation of her name as an opportunity to be the first to welcome Trinity to IMPACT and says Trinity has done her homework on how to make history, then warns her that when she steps in the ring with her, it is something she cannot just walk out on. Trinity tells Purrazzo that when she gets in the ring with her, she will wish she got fired again. Jordynne Grace then shows up and asks if it is hot in here or if it is just the heat between Trinity and Purrazzo, and reminds Purrazzo that they still have their rematch and that she does not plan to lose to her for a fourth time. She then tells Trinity that if she wants to fight Purrazzo, she can be her guest, but if she wants a title shot, she can come find her, because she will be champion after Under Siege. Trinity tells Purrazzo and Jordynne that they have business to settle at Under Siege and that she will be waiting, then tells whoever wins "Let's dance."
Frankie Kazarian and Rich Swann beat Shera and Raj Singh in the BTI match.
Bully Ray shows up to start tonight's show. Bully Ray still takes offense to Tommy Dreamer saying "someone like you" at No Surrender, and asks the fans what they meant by "someone like [him]." He then says that all he knew is that he threw hot coffee into Dreamer's face, then addresses Dreamer's challenge to a Busted Open Match. He says he does not know what a Busted Open Match is, but it does not matter, as Dreamer will not make it to Sacrifice. He says that Dreamer suffered a burned retina and is issuing a fake challenge to look like a hero, as he knows that he will make it to Sacrifice and the doctors will not medically clear him and that match will never happen. Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and inadvertently starts a "Bobby Ray" chant, much to Bully's chagrin, before stating that Dreamer will be at Sacrifice and making the Busted Open Match official.

Killer Kelly sits in a metal folding chair in the middle of the ring. Kelly says she is not very with Taylor Wilde's games with her tarot cards and magic tricks, then calls Taylor Wilde out to entertain an idea of her own game. Taylor Wilde shows up. Taylor says she is not here to play games, as the spirit sends her messages through the cards, and the cards say this is not about Kelly, but about the future and what is meant to be. She then has Killer Kelly pick a card, but Kelly says her destiny does not come from cards and that she makes her own destiny by taking destiny by the throat and choking the life out of it. Taylor says that if Kelly does not choose her own fate, she will choose it for you, and draws The Tower, which is "massive change, upheaval, destruction and chaos." All of a sudden, Kelly is attacked from behind with the metal folding chair by KiLynn King, who then lays Kelly out and lays the Tower card on her.

Backstage, Killer Kelly is met by The Demon Dollz (Rosemary, Taya Valkyrie, Jessicka). Rosemary says witches cannot be trusted, and had Kelly come to them first, she would have given her insight. She then says that Kelly is a stone cold, single-minded killer and that there is a world out there she is failing to grasp before calling Taylor Wilde a charlatan. Rosemary then says Kelly knows where to find them if she needs their help, but Kelly says she does not and that she is not afraid of two-on-one situations before leaving. Taylor Wilde and KiLynn King then show up, and Taylor says Rosemary almost hurt her feelings and is jealous she can channel black magic. KiLynn then dares The Demon Dollz to stop them if they do not like that, and Rosemary says that if they want a taste of the Knockouts Tag Team Championships, they will make it happen if KiLynn and Taylor renounce their magic. KiLynn accepts, then says The Coven does not kick the door down; they break it down. The Demon Dollz then tell them that witches get stitches at they leave.

When Alexander says he will call out Bully Ray tonight, D'Amore tells him that Bully has a match and not to interfere with it. Tommy Dreamer shows up and apologizes to Alexander for thinking Bully Ray was trustworthy, and extends his hand. Alexander refuses to accept his apology, as he feels Dreamer was in on everything Bully Ray was doing. D'Amore says Dreamer is one of the most honest people he has ever known, but Alexander is not having any of it.
Bully Ray quickly beats John Skyler. After the match, Tommy Dreamer heads to the ring and confronts Bully Ray that they were friends and that he vouched for him, and that he thought for one moment, he had changed. He says that Josh Alexander will kick Bully Ray's at Hard to Kill and that he will not be part of his of negativity, then tells him that he is here not to fight him, but that their friendship is over and that he will have nothing else to do with him again. Tommy Dreamer says that if he wants to put him on the spot, then he will put Bully on the spot. Bully is unflustered and tells Dreamer to walk away, and says that Dreamer is nothing but "a jealous coward" and "a nobody." He says that if D-Von Dudley walked in his shadow, then Tommy Dreamer walked ten steps behind at all times, then says he was a bigger star than him in ECW, WWE, Impact and all over the world. Bully Ray says that some consider Tommy "a failure in the wrestling business," and when Tommy gets on the ring apron, Bully Ray tries to keep him out of the ring before saying Tommy will not take a swing. He says that Tommy became "a fat bastard" while he became "a wrestling machine," then admits that he attacked Ace Austin and knew that Dreamer would go to bat for him, and that he used Dreamer and got what he wanted.

Dreamer says that Bully knows what he has gone through, especially with his mother, and says that he did what he did for the business because he loves it.

Jordynne denying this, saying she is letting Mickie have her moment, but Mickie says she has many moments against the greatest that Jordynne could only dream about. She says that she will have one more at Hard To Kill, then signs the contract before Tasha Steelz and Savannah Evans show up. Tasha Steelz says that Mickie James has yet to defeat her and that "The Last Rodeo" is not complete without her. Mickie says there is a month until Hard To Kill and that she has a lot of time. Jordynne says it is a little too late and that the paperwork is already signed, but Mickie says she does not need Jordynne's help.

Backstage, John Skyler sits with Jason Hotch. Hotch says there is no respect in Impact Wrestling, and Skyler notes that Hotch does not get any respect and that everyone just calls them "good hands" like some sort of backhanded compliment. Hotch says he gets it and says he would love to step in the ring with him, and Skyler says he would also love to do that, but as part of a tag team. Both men shake on it not with a handshake, but with a "hands shake."
We hear from Steve Maclin, who says he was trained to do everything by the book and that getting everyone home was the reward. He says that is not the case in Impact Wrestling, as he can do anything to beat former world champions yet gets no reward for it.

He threatens to smack a kid in the front row in the face and threatens to beat up someone else for holding a "F U Bully" sign, then asks the fans why they are angry for him when he did nothing wrong and did what he said to everyone he would do. He also says that he told "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander that if he shook his hand, he accepted the match, which is what Josh Alexander did. He then says that does not bother him because Alexander is a great professional wrestler and a credit to Impact Wrestling and the business. Bully admits that Alexander reminds him of Kurt Angle, and tells the fans that he agrees with them, but says that as good as Alexander is in the ring, he is not smart like him, and Bully Ray says that he is one of the smartest guys in the entire industry. He then says that Josh forgot who he was and that the fans forgot who he was, then tells everyone that he ran Hulk Hogan out of Impact Wrestling and beat Sting to ensure he could never challenge for the Impact World Championship again. He then says that he "screwed Brooke Hogan" and put Dixie Carter through a table, then says that he "built this frickin' place," and asks why Alexander would allow his wife to be in the same building as him and put her in harm's way by putting her that close to him. Bully Ray then says that Josh Alexander will be out for a few weeks due to the trauma of what happened at Over Drive, then tells Alexander to take as long as he needs as long as he shows up at Hard To Kill.

He then tears up the "F U Bully" sign in the front row before hitting Swann with the chair again. More referees show up, but Bully Ray threatens them all with the chair before striking Swann a third time. He then pulls a zip tie out from underneath the ring and ties Swann's left wrist to the bottom rope. As Bully is about to hit Swann with the chair again, Tommy Dreamer shoves Bully Ray, knocking the chair out of Bully's hands as he tells Bully Ray to knock it off. Dreamer then confronts Bully Ray in the ring, then Bully Ray confronts Dreamer for standing up to Swann and shoves him down. Bully grabs the chain as Scott D'Amore shows up, and D'Amore confronts Bully. D'Amore hits Bully with his jacket, and even goes so far as to unbutton his cuff links. Bully is about to hit D'Amore with a chair when Dreamer steps between them, and D'Amore throws things at Bully and overpowers the referees just to try to get to him. As D'Amore tries to destroy the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Trophy and grabs a chair, Bully Ray tries to get on the microphone, but D'Amore calls him "a piece of shit." Bully Ray tells D'Amore he agrees that he is "a piece of shit," and reminds D'Amore he hired him.

Moose beats Bhupinder Gujjar. After the match, Moose attacks Gujjar and throws him out of the ring, then asks the fans if they know who he is before saying he is the guy who told everyone who Bully Ray. He then says all the "Kentucky fried idiots" did not listen to him when he said that Bully Ray would screw "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander like he did at Bound For Glory, then says he did not lose at Over Drive because he was right. Moose then says he does not want to hear Bully Ray's name and does not want to hear the fans say his name, which inadvertently summons Joe Hendry. Moose asks Hendry what he is doing in his ring, and Hendry tells Moose he called him out. Moose says he was talking about Bully Ray and was handling serious business, but Hendry reminds him of the "say his name" bit. Moose says the fans may be here to have a good time, but he is not in the mood, and he threatens to attack Hendry if he does not leave. Hendry says he knows a cry for help when he sees one. Moose goes for a cheap shot, and while Hendry blocks it, Moose hits the pump kick.Hendry gets right back up, and when Moose rushes at Hendry, Hendry dodges, and Moose runs into a Gargoyle Spear by a now-recovered Bhupinder Gujjar.

We see Eric Young and Deaner in the prison they have been seen in in the past. Deaner and Eric Young look back on why Deaner joined Violent by Design. Deaner says he wanted to eliminate the sickness, which is signified by failure. When Eric Young asked if he would do anything to eliminate the sickness, even if the sickness was in the room they were in, Deaner hesitates, then says yes. Eric Young says "As would I." Both of them then fight over a shiv in the center of the table. Deaner asks why he has done this, and Eric Young says they have been beset by failure. Deaner says they can fix this, and Eric Young says he can do that by killing the sickness. Deaner grabs the shiv, and Eric Young tells him to eliminate the sickness and embrace the violence. Deaner then stabs Eric Young with the shiv, and we see Deaner with blood on his hand and his face. Deaner smiles a twisted smile, and the show ends.

"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Alexander says that in the weeks leading up to Bound For Glory, Eddie Edwards referred to their match as "a war," and almost a week later, he can agree that their match was indeed a war. He then tells Eddie that war is over and that he is beaten but not broken, and still Impact World Champion. Alexander says he stands as World Champion and as the heart and soul of Impact Wrestling, and as he admits he is not perfect and has made mistakes, he has learned from his mistake of letting his guard down when the next challenger was waiting to call their shot. He says that instead of waiting for that person to call their shot, he calls them out in order to clear the air and asks some questions, and calls out Bully Ray, who shows up. Alexander welcomes Bully Ray back to Impact Wrestling and says that his reputation precedes him before telling Bully that he is a student of the game who has studied wrestling his whole life and that the Bully Ray he knows would capitalize on any opportunity. He says that he kneeled in front of him bloodied and beaten, but Bully Ray did not call his shot, and he wants to know why. Bully Ray says he would have done that, considering everything he has ever done, including in Impact, and that he has been in Impact longer than he has been anywhere else. He says that he stabbed everyone in the back including his own brother, but he did other great things in Impact and that he did it all. He then says he must "do it right" and that he must be honorable. Alexander says that Bully Ray is the last person in the business he can trust, but Bully Ray says he is not stupid and that everyone will tell him that and that everyone has tried to stab him in the back, too. He says that he has to do this the right thing against Alexander, as nobody has a good word to say about him. Bully says that he wants to leave a good taste in people's mouths about what he did for the business, and that he will not screw him like Moose did. Bully Ray tells Josh Alexander that he will see him coming a mile away and that he will look him in the eye and maybe shake his hand, as he is serious about doing this right. Suddenly, Steve Maclin shows up. Maclin says that this is the first time he and Alexander are out here together, and while they do not see eye-to-eye, there is not a thing that Bully Ray can do or say to make him trust him. Maclin then asks Bully Ray how he got into the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Match and who he had to politick to get into it, as he is more dangerous behind-the-scenes than in the ring and will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. Maclin even mentions Bully Ray waiting a year to turn his back on the company and reveal himself to be the leader of Aces and Eights, then says that he himself does not stab in the back and comes straight forward. Maclin talks about how he has beaten two former world champions twice and asks how many more former world champions he has to beat before Moose suddenly arrives. Moose gives credit to Maclin where credit is due, then tells him to sit this one out as he is standing in the presence of world champions, and to watch how world champions conduct business. He then considers Bully Ray's actions and refusal to call his shot "shocking," and that he modeled what he does in Impact on what Bully did. Moose then calls Bully "a scumbag," then says he likes scumbags because he himself is a scumbag. Moose says he always looked at Bully Ray as "savage and despicable" and willing to do anything to win a match, and that Alexander and his family know just how dangerous he can be because he learned from Bully Ray. He then tells Alexander that what he has done in Impact in the last two years have been very impressive, and that only two men have pinned him in that ring and that he is one of them and did it in ten seconds. Suddenly, Bobby Fish shows up and says nobody around the ring is "spilling lies," and says that Moose has turned himself into "a total scumbag" and that Maclin is calling Bully Ray "a locker room politician" before asking where the lie is. He then addresses Bully Ray, saying that he is a scumbag with the resume he rolled out with, yet Josh Alexander "did not scumbag him." Bobby Fish then says he is geared up and wanting to know if Alexander will challenge him tonight in his hometown. Alexander says there is a lot of talk and even more unanswered questions, then accepts Bobby Fish's challenge.

On the way to Scott D'Amore, Heath and Rhino show up and tell The Motor City Machine Guns that they have gotten a shot at the title next week in order to fulfill a promise to become tag team champions by the end of the year.

Bully Ray asks Tommy Dreamer if he has ever made him look like a fool, especially if Dreamer got him his first shot, then says that if he expects anyone to trust him, it is Dreamer, and says he will do it the right way. Dreamer asks Bully Ray if he wants to prove everyone more time, and Bully Ray asks if they want to team up, to which Dreamer replies "Why not?"

When Sami's music hits, Sami fails to show up. Moose says it does not matter is Sami is here or not, as he has to be in the match, and tells Maclin that Sami will call their match "hell on earth" before telling him that his military experience is nothing compared to being in the ring with him and going through hell. Maclin tells Moose he has been turned into "a coddled prizefighter" and says Moose has not seen what he has seen or done what he has done, then says he is lucky he has all four of his limbs and that men like him transcend matches like this. He says that instead of "hell on earth," it will be "mayhem for all."
