Cage said he didn’t come here to hear a guy talk for 20 minutes in the ring, or see a grown man pull things out of another’s ass. Cage said the rumors about him being offered a low-ball deal from WWE wasn’t true as he was given a hefty sum to stay where he was at. He said he wasn’t fired and that he came to TNA because he loves wrestling. Cage said he is known to crack a joke or two, say something sarcastic or pull a rib. He said he is tired of egos and politics. Cage said he wants to see wrestling reinvented and guys busting their asses. He said last night he was watching iMPACT! on Spike TV and it reminded him of when he broke into the wrestling scene a few years ago. There was one company that was old and one that was innovative. Cage said fast forward eight years, one is boring and old and the other one is T-N-A. He said to himself that TNA was something he wanted to be apart of and that brings him to Jeff Jarrett. Cage said Jarrett should never wear white pants after labor day. He added that he has come to TNA to get something that has alluded him all of his career, the NWA World Title. Cage said he is here, he will fullfill his destiny, “because that’s how I roll.” Team Canada’s leader Scott D’Amore then comes out along with Bobby Roode. D’Amore said he has been looking for him all night. D’Amore said no one is happier to have him here than him. He talked about some memories from their past in Canada when Cage came up with Lance Storm, Chris Jericho, Adam “Edge” Copeland and others. D’Amore said they came a long way and that they have bigger things ahead. He said he heard what he said about Jeff Jarrett and the NWA World Title. D’Amore said he shouldn’t have to explain to him that aligning himself with the right crowd is key in succeeding. He said Team Canada will soon get the X Title, NWA Tag Team Titles and the NWA World Title with Christian Cage being the final piece of the puzzle. Cage goes to reflect when Booby Roode cuts him off. Roode said Cage has an opportunity to break into something they busted their asses off for the last three years. Roode said, “it is quite simple Captain Charisma, you are either with us, or against us.” Roode demands an answer from Cage and they stand nose-to-nose. D’Amore breaks it up, hands Cage a Team Canada t-shirt and said he has time to decide. Cage holds up the t-shirt, gets on the mic and says the t-shirt looks like the right size. He added that it is going to take him some time to see if it is the right fit.
