Bully Ray Kicks Off IMPACT!
Bully Ray opens IMPACT after he shockingly returned to IMPACT at Under Siege, powerbombing IMPACT President Scott D’Amore through a flaming table. Bully gloats about his long history of putting people through tables, but he saves flaming tables for only those who anger him most. Bully insists he’s going nowhere and he’s going to become number one contender at Against All Odds. Steve Maclin interjects, and says everything that went down at Under Siege was only because Maclin allowed it. The Motor City Machine Guns interrupt as Shelley will challenge Maclin on June 9 at Against All Odds. Bully calls Shelley a great professional wrestler and calls back to Team 3D’s history with The Guns. But for as great as Shelley is, Bully believes Shelley could never defeat Maclin to become World Champion. Sabin points out he was one who beat Bully for the World Championship in 2013. Maclin questions whether Shelley can beat him to which Shelley responds “Yup.” The Guns challenge Bully and Maclin to a match tonight but Bully and Maclin decline. SUBCULTURE come out and accept instead, and they will face The Guns in the main event.
