Josh Mathews and Madison Rayne welcome fans to Impact! We kick things off with Sami Callihan making his way down to the ring.

Sami Callihan begins his speech by telling viewers watching from AXS TV and Twitch that he sees them. He says that it's going to take a lot more to take "The Draw" down. Callihan informs everyone that he never tapped out to Ken Shamrock's ankle lock, two weeks ago. After he makes that announcement, Callihan calls out Ken Shamrock.

Ken Shamrock makes his way down to the ring. Shamrock says that over the years, he has fought a lot of guys, and they always tapped out of his ankle lock. Shamrock agrees, Callihan never tapped out, and that he's one tough S.O.B. Shamrock lists all the guys who have tapped out to his ankle lock. He has an idea: A. Keep their fight going from Rebellion or B. Both of them chase after the Impact World Championship. Shamrock puts his hand out for Callihan to shake (on option B). All of a sudden, Michael Elgin's music hits.

Michael Elgin believes that the Impact fans come to see him, and that is why he has to become the Impact World Champion. He knows he's the rightful choice. Shamrock tells Elgin that he's sick and tired of hearing him talk; he just wants to duke it out. Callihan believes that Elgin is just going to "choke."

Elgin takes a swing at Callihan. Elgin eats a forearm from Shamrock. Elgin rolls out of the ring and Callihan and Shamrock are in the ring. Callihan pulls his phone out, and the arena goes dark. Callihan disappears, and Shamrock is left standing alone.
