Devon hugs the members in the ring and now has the mic. He says to shut the hell up to the crowd, because you see (you sold out chants) these guys right here, Aces and Eights, these are the guys that have had his back. These are the guys that were there when he was down and out. The people are the most no good, inbred pieces of crap he has ever seen. Why did he do it? Because he can. He thanks the brothers, because without them, he wouldn’t be out here testifying. If it wasn’t for the guy that patched him in, he wouldn’t be here. This group will destroy TNA. Bubba, Sting, Hogan, you asked why? Did you think he forgot when Bubba cheap shotted him and put his sons through a table? An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, paybacks are a bitch.

Sting wants to fight Devon. Hulk says it is Devon’s choice, he either fight’s Sting, or leaves for good. Bully wants the match, but Hulk makes the match with Sting. Crowd chants for Bully, and Devon agrees to face Sting on the main event. Devon says if Sting doesn’t show up, they will find him in the parking lot. The crowd was chanting for Bully to get the match.
