De Lander then says that’s messing with their money. After some more back-and-forth comments, Callihan and Warner agree that what they went through at TNA Unbreakable 2025 in the Barbed Wire Massacre made it so they have a respect for each other. They then make it quite clear they still don’t like each other, but they shake hands and agree they’re done for now.
