Last week, there was a poker game between Hudson and Grimes which saw Grimes bluff his way to victory. When Hudson realized that he should’ve won if he hadn’t folded, he attacked Grimes and then cut some of his hair.
On this week’s show, Grimes came out to the ring to cut a promo about how much having long hair meant to him as he kept growing it when he was struggling on the independents. He challenged Hudson to a hair vs. hair match at this show. Hudson said that he wouldn’t mind taking some more hair from Grimes and accepted it.
