Suddenly, Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Satnam Singh and The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) show up.

Pearce says that it is nothing personal and that he was just doing his job, but Ronda does not buy it. Pearce reads the letter saying that Ronda has not done anything at a criminal level and that her suspension is lifted, albeit on a probationary basis. Pearce takes offense to Ronda being un-suspended, then says he would have fired her if it were up to him. Ronda asks Pearce if he thinks the board of directors would take his opinion over that of someone like her. Pearce takes her anger out on Ronda, asking if this is a joke for her and that he is tired of doing an unthankful job running two shows while everyone gives him grief, and while he is proud of his job and wishes the board would show up and try to do his job only to find out that they can't, he is not proud of busting his ungrateful, undermining and criticizing, and while he does not have a problem with the board, he has a problem with her.

She says that November will be 24 years since her debut, and for over half her life, she has done so much for the business, and the last few years have really been a journey. Mickie says the last six months have been a whirlwind and caused doubts to settle back in, but after she came back to Impact last year, she has had the best run of her career. When she lost the Knockouts Championship and was betrayed by Chelsea Green when she mentored her, it set her back, she took a break from wrestling and did some soul-searching. Mickie says that when she started, she wanted to make more opportunities for women and make professional wrestling better for women, but she made a promise that if she does not belong, she does not belong.

She says that she is coming for the Knockouts Championship, but there is a catch: if she loses in this journey, or if she loses her title shot, this is it.

He says that Eddie was once the heart and soul of the company, but it is now him, and that they will see who will walk out as champion. On the subject of Honor No More trying to change his viewpoint, they will not convince him to become bitter, as it is a waste of time and there is nobody more vocal for Impact than him. Suddenly, Eddie Edwards shows up to talk with Josh alone. Gia Miller leaves, then Eddie tells Josh that he respects his loyalty, but at the end, he is a chump and everyone else knows this but Josh.
