We see a video recapping the storyline between Sami Callihan and Rich Swann. Swann admits that a lot of the things Callihan has said are true, and he truly didn't have any family to embrace him when he was eighteen and starting to pursue professional wrestling. Swann says that Callihan took him under his wing and opened up his home to give Swann a place. Swann says that he knows the truth though, and Callihan will take the best out of you and use it for yourself. Swann tells Callihan that he'll always have a place in his heart but what he demands is not something family does.
We see Taya Valkyrie backstage and she says that the rematch with Blanchard could have happened sooner if she wouldn't have been suspended. She says she accepts the rematch on February 15 at Uncaged, and this time, she wants it to be a street fight. She calls Blanchard a broken diamond as she walks off.
.@TheTayaValkyrie is perfectly happy to face @Tess_Blanchard once again at Uncaged.
But she wants to raise the stakes - she wants a Street Fight for the Knockouts Championship! #IMPACT

We see a video recapping the storyline between Sami Callihan and Rich Swann. Swann admits that a lot of the things Callihan has said are true, and he truly didn't have any family to embrace him when he was eighteen and starting to pursue professional wrestling. Swann says that Callihan took him under his wing and opened up his home to give Swann a place. Swann says that he knows the truth though, and Callihan will take the best out of you and use it for yourself. Swann tells Callihan that he'll always have a place in his heart but what he demands is not something family does.
We see Taya Valkyrie backstage and she says that the rematch with Blanchard could have happened sooner if she wouldn't have been suspended. She says she accepts the rematch on February 15 at Uncaged, and this time, she wants it to be a street fight. She calls Blanchard a broken diamond as she walks off.
.@TheTayaValkyrie is perfectly happy to face @Tess_Blanchard once again at Uncaged.
But she wants to raise the stakes - she wants a Street Fight for the Knockouts Championship! #IMPACT
