TNA Turning Point: Bobby Roode Vs. AJ Styles (TNA World Title)

Backstage:

JB is backstage with Bobby Roode. Roode says he wants to get one thing clear. He was Beer Money. He was Fortune. He didn't need Kazarian, James Storm, or AJ Styles. All they did was prevent him from reaching his full potential, and now that he's kicked them all to the curb, he stands before them as the World Heavyweight champion. Roode says Styles is jealous and can't deal with it. Roode says he's selfish. He'll do whatever it takes to keep the title, at all costs. He's the it factor of pro wrestling. He says AJ has seen what he did to his partner to get the title, imagine what he'll do to AJ. This leads us right into a video package highlighting Roode's journey to the title, heel turn, and involvement of AJ Styles.
