He said they won’t give those people any more publicity, but they will find out who attacked Sting and make it right for Sting. Hogan called out Austin Aries to make his decision., Aries said business first. Aries said last week, Hogan put a great and interesting opportunity on the plate for him. To be a legend you have to be champion,But, the X Division Title is what this company was built on. He said the X Title is important and he’s afraid if he just hands the title over, then it means nothing. Aries said he came up with an idea – Option C. Hogan said he didn’t give him an Option C. It’s either A or B. Hogan told him he better have one heck of an idea because he’s not here to play games. Aries said he has Option C in mind – he will hand over the X Title for a shot at Roode if he sets the standard going forward that whomever the X champion is leading into Destination X each year will automatically receive a title shot at the PPV. Hogan said Aries is a visionary and he likes where he’s going. Hogan agreed on Option C, and they shook hands.Roodes music hit, Bobby Roode demanded Hogan get out of his ring. He then asked Aries who he thinks he is thinking he can dictate what happens in his company. Roode told Aries that his little paper title means nothing to him. He said this is the real World Title. Roode told Aries he just made the biggest mistake of his life. If he wants to get in the main event to challenge for his title, then so be it, but he is no X Division wrestler. He said he will prove why he’s this company’s top champion at Destination X. Roode vowed to embarrass Aries’s ass. Aries said this is Open Fight Night, so come on down and embarrass him.
