Bey assumed he was a part of the Bullet Club after tagging with Bullet Club leader Jay White last week. The duo lost to The Good Brothers and White reminded him he was not a member yet. He offered Bey a shot at redemption in the form of jumping <strong>FinJuice<\/strong> backstage.

Kazarian made his presence felt last week when he assisted <strong>Sami<\/strong> <strong>Callihan<\/strong> against <strong>Kenny<\/strong> <strong>Omega<\/strong> and The Good Brothers. Callihan informed <strong>The<\/strong> <strong>Elite<\/strong> and <strong>Don<\/strong> <strong>Callis<\/strong> that would enter the battle royal to become the number one contender for Omega&#8217;s IMPACT World Championship. Callihan didn&#8217;t want to wait to get his hands on The Elite and announced that they would be in six-man action this week on IMPACT with two partners of Callihan&#8217;s choosing. Kazarian then appeared to attack the Elite in the ring.<\/p>\n<p>As they made their way to the back, <strong>Tommy<\/strong> <strong>Dreamer<\/strong> approached them. They asked Dreamer to join the team for next week, but he turned them down. He mentioned a person he had in mind to them which seemed to get approval from both Callihan and Kazarian. That person turned out to be <strong>Eddie<\/strong> <strong>Edwards<\/strong>, who was reluctant at first due to the history between himself and Callihan. Dreamer assured him that he could trust Callihan for this match, and coaxed Eddie into joining the team. Will Kazarian be victorious in his first match back?
