World Champion Brian Cage makes his way to the ring, accompanied by Melissa Santos. Cage addresses the crowd. He became champion after 14 long years, only to be injured the same night. No one is more disappointed than himself he hasn’t defended his title. The only way he plans to lose the title is in the ring. He’s cleared in about 6 weeks, right around Bound For Glory. Onto more important things, Cage proposes to Melissa(she said yes!)
She said yes! Congratulations to @MrGMSI_BCage & @ThisIsMelSantos! #IMPACT pic.twitter.com/e68WNANKPz
