Bully Ray comes to the ring as the Hardys celebrate. Bully is the first to congratulate them on another tag team championship and they are catching up to the Dudleys. He also congratulates them for being one of the reasons tonight is an attendance record for TNA. A record he set in 2013. He says 25 years ago, the Hardys and the Dudleys made history with the first tag team tables match.
He says since then, there has been a lot of talk of who is the best tag team of all time, and he says everyone can agree it is the Road Warriors. However they want to give the fans the last great tag team match of all time. October. Bound For Glory. Hardys. Team 3D. One last match.
The crowd asks where is D-Von and Bully says that is a great question. He says at Bound for Glory, you will hear for one last time. D-Von! Get the tables.
Santino Marella says that Tessa Blanchard is suspended indefinitely. He asks the pre-show panel for their predictions. Snake and LaGreca says Mike Santana will win and before Tommy Dreamer can give his predictions, Frankie Kazarian interrupts and he doesn’t care what they think. He says they are there to celebrate him. He says he should be in the main event, so instead he will be on commentary.
Santino asks if people are ready. Now, I have to get a refill on soda and then I will be ready.
