MVP says Aries holds all the cards but should hold his breath permanently, accuses Roode of whining, crying and blaming everyone else but himself and is disappointed with Lashley for taking the TNA World Title when he knows it belongs to the Beat Down Clan. MVP wants to cut ahead of Roode and Aries and throws down a challenge for the title to Lashley.
