It reminded him of when he was without a contract one year ago and is now challenging for the TNA World Title one year later. Bobby Roode’s music interrupted to bring out the World champ. Roode told Aries to take a good look at the TNA World Title belt, because it’s the real title. Roode said he single-handedly make this World Title the most important thing in this industry..Roode then accused Aries of only getting a title shot against him because of Hulk Hogan. He said Option C is nothing but a failure. He will make sure Aries fails at Destination X.
