It's soon just him and Magnus in the ring, and Styles says he's here because Dixie Carter screwed the fans over. He calls Magnus a farce, then challenges him to a match where the winner is the undisputed TNA champ. Much to Dixie's chagrin, Magnus goes against her and accepts the match for next week after AJ Styles says the challenge will go with him and that Magnus will doubt himself as a world champ if he declines.
