Taz, Mr. Anderson, and Bully Ray are backstage with Mike Tenay. Anderson holds him as Taz tells him off. He says Mike has the night off. Tenay better leave or Anderson will knock his teeth down his throat. Taz and Anderson leave while Bully points out the door and Mike goes that direction.
A video plays showcasing what has happened last week. Chris Sabin is not going to be bullied by Bully Ray. Main Event Mafia gave Aces & 8s an offer that they couldn’t refuse. Lastly, Tito Ortiz shows up. Why though? Rampage is shown and he says that the Main Event Mafia is going to find out why he is there.
Aces & 8s music plays. Mr. Anderson, Bully Ray, and Taz come out. Jeremy Borash is at the commentator’s desk. Taz meets up with him. Mr. Anderson stands next to Mike. Taz trashes Borash and says that is his next… not anyone else. He is in his chair, but there is another chair and Taz will take that. Bully Ray has a mic in the ring. He says he is not in a good mood. The August 1 Warning guy is Tito Ortiz. He is not impressed. Ray does surprises better than anyone. Ray tells Ortiz to not get near him otherwise he will hit Ortiz right in the face. Ray goes on to explain the other reason why he isn’t happy. Tonight, Ray and Devon face Sabin and a mystery opponent from the Main Event Mafia. Ray says they should be told because they are the best tag team in history. It’s okay though because Bully Ray has Sabin next week in a Steel Cage and he will be a 2 time TNA World Champion. Ray tells Sabin to come out here with the title and the contract so they can get it over with.
Chris Sabin’s music plays. He comes out with the title around his chest. He walks to the ring. Ray wants Sabin’s music off. He says his belt look horrible around Sabin. He can also tell Sabin is scared of him. Chris says looks can be deceiving. Earlier this year, Ray deceived everyone by being a good little guy who even married Brooke Hogan. Ray’s eyes are brown and his breath sounds like feces… that’s how bad he is. If you asked the TNA stars earlier this year whether Chris Sabin would beat Ray for the title, everyone would have said no except for Sabin. Sabin played Ray at his own game. He will do it again. Ray wants the contract now. He calls out Hogan! Music hits and here comes Brooke Hogan! She gets on the stage. Ray wants her music off too. Brooke has a mic.
Brooke says her dad is out of town. He has been reviewing Ray’s contract and the title contract. Hulk sent Brooke an email. She reads it. She reads the contract states that if Bully Ray doesn’t win the Steel Cage Match, then he will never get a World Title Match again. Ray says he is not going to be bullied by anyone… especially by a little Hogan. Brooke walks down the ramp and gets in the ring. Brooke asks Ray if the whole world has to find out that he is all talk but he is small and has little action. Ray wants the contract. He gets it. Both sign and its official!
Jeremy Borash, Taz, and Anderson are shown at the desk. Anderson and Taz are at Borash’s throat as he just recapped what just went down. They think he is behind it and they could take him out easily.
