The Good Brothers are in the ring to address their upcoming IMPACT World Tag Team Title match against The Briscoes at Slammiversary. Doc Gallows states that their opportunity isn’t earned, it’s deserved. Karl Anderson adds that The Briscoes’ accomplishments don’t add up to theirs, saying that while they were competing in Madison Square Garden, The Briscoes were somewhere on a chicken farm. The Good Brothers relive their top 10 greatest moments since coming to IMPACT Wrestling, but play mind games when moments 7-1 are when they defeated The Briscoes at Multiverse of Matches.
Speaking of the champs, they’ve heard enough and confront Gallows and Anderson in the ring. Jay Briscoe says that unlike The Good Brothers, they still get up and grind every single day. Tensions explode as things get physical, causing The Good Brothers to retreat.
