Impact Coverage by Bobby James

October 8, 2014

The “It Factor” Bobby Roode opens IMPACT Wrestling.

Roode says he will not give up on his dream to become the World Heavyweight Champion. Roode calls out Lashley, demanding a direct answer to his challenge for a rematch.

MVP and Kenny King answer the call. MVP says Roode doesn’t have the right to ask for a rematch and says the answer is no.

Roode says MVP and Kenny King are content being lackeys for Lashley. That neither man has what it takes to be World Heavyweight Champion. MVP says Roode can have his title opportunity – if he defeats him and Kenny King in a handicap elimination match. MVP stipulates that if Roode loses, he will never challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship for the rest of his career.

Roode accepts the challenge – and the stipulation.
