Once in the ring, Sting handed over Jeff Hardys TNA belt and said this is all that is left with him, Hogan took the title and threw it out of the ring. Sting asked Hogan how it felt to destroy someone career, someone such as Jeff Hardy. Sting remembered when he first met Jeff Hardy when they shook hands backstage and he was so excited to be here, but he was somebody else two weeks ago after seeing him in the ring. Sting said Jeff Hardy has gone down a path which ultimately ended very badly because of Hogan’s promise of power, greed and money. Sting explained that there is fifty guys at the back who have hunger, talent and willing to go. Hulk Hogan said Jeff Hardy let Immortal down not the other way round. Hogan goes Jeff Hardy couldn’t not keep up with Hogan and because of this it is his fault he failed. If Immortal was failing why is everyone including Matt Hardy on top of their game. Hogan goes Sting cannot help the company and since he came back two weeks ago, many main eventers have been ringing his phone asking for the opportunity to join Immortal and face Sting for the title. Sting then questioned where is everybody, all he sees his Hogan and Bischoff every week and a couple of punks, until Bully Ray’s music came out and he made his way to the ring. Bully Ray goes he has been waiting his opportunity his whole life for this chance, Bully Ray goes without Hulk Hogan the wrestling business wouldn’t exist.

Bully Ray goes he is a 23 tag team champion and if not for Devon he could have been a 23 World Champion, Brother Ray asked Hogan for his title shot suddenly A.J. Styles slapped him and Hogan restrained him back. Mr Anderson’s music hit and he came marching out. Anderson screamed where is his re-match for the title.
