Don Callis comes out to interrupt and points out a couple of facts about any notion of involving Sami Callihan in the IMPACT World Title match between Moose and Kenny Omega. Callihan is blacklisted all over, but Scott does create an argument for him due to his DQ win against Moose.
After a monologue, D’Amore says he made some tremendous points and that’s why this Saturday at Against All Odds, it will be Kenny Omega one-on-one against Moose.
Tony gets on the mic and says that Don really does care about Kenny and this IMPACT World Championship. To Tony, you need a big venue for a match like this. He notes Daily’s Place and says that’s the best place to do it. He assures him that Sami Callihan will not be there. Don is ready to leave but D’Amore pulls a Columbo with one last thing – whoever walks out as Champion, July 17 the winner will face Sami Callihan at Slammiversary.
