He says he must get his emotions in check and figure out what is going on. Alex Shelley says that he appreciates the transparency, but thinks that Josh thinks he is a transitional champion.

Kenny King says that the fans are in the presence of a big star in an historic reign after beating both Joe Hendry and Yuya Uemura and beat down "the joke" that was Johnny Swinger at Emergence. After bragging about what he did to Tommy Dreamer and stating that his title is the only one that matters in his IMPACT Wrestling, Dreamer shows up and says Swinger received a phone call stating that his father passed away and that he was there to check on him. He also says that Kenny King and Sheldon Jean were not watching the main event while surrounded by women in the bar and that King was once the guy who would ask for advice from veterans like him who paved the way for them to be in the ring. Kenny King says he could care less and that he is in the position where Tommy Dreamer once stood, and says he would be in his spot if Dreamer would step aside. Dreamer says Kenny always takes shortcuts and settles because he has never been in the main event. He also says he has turned down millions of dollars from other companies because he always believed and listened to every veteran he could to get to where he is now, and if Kenny King wants to knock the veterans, then he will have to knock them out to get that spot. He says that he could do something for Kenny King, who says that Dreamer does not have a thing that he wants, after losing his mother, being diagnosed with skin cancer and losing Terry Funk in the span of three months, and challenges him to a title vs. career match.
