Josh Alexander and Eric Young contract signing for their upcoming title match this Sunday at "Slammiversary"
The two men take their respective seats at the desk. The crowd boos Young and D'Amore invites Young to sign the contract first. Young asks if it looks like he gives a damn about "Slammiversary".

Young says that he said those same words to the fans, but it was all a lie. Young says Alexander is a thousand times better than the fans ever will be. He tells the audience their opinions don't matter and he will open Alexander's eyes to the truth: that he rides the line between chaos and order. He signs the contract.
Young tries to sends D'Amore out of the ring to say something alone to Alexander. Young says that he is starting to get nervous because his family (VBD) has his back. He says Alexander is alone and scared. Alexander says that he has "Impact's" history behind his back and the people who helped to build the company to where it is today. He says he should be able to add Young's name to that list after he had watched him build his career from day one, but he can't. He says that the honest truth is that the Young he grew to love would be disgusted by what he has become.
Young flips the table and D'Amore tries to break them up. D'Amore punches Deaner and Alexander goes after Doering. Young grabs the VBD flag and hits D'Amore with it.
