In a video promo, Rhett Titus says being a pure wrestler comes with a code. He says pure wrestlers shake hands before and after the match. Titus also says he’s going to restore the honor to this company. He vows that he’s going to beat the honor into Gordon. Gordon explains that he didn’t shake Gresham’s hand because he didn’t think there was any honor in the way Gresham won. Gordon says Titus is finally getting some recognition, and he says they’ve both worked hard to get where they are. “The Mercenary” promises that he’ll beat Titus yet again.
