Jay White: “There’s nothing that I love more than watching my boys go to work. Guns up! That’s right, the gang is back together, back to full strength. We’re top shelf gunslingers. And now we have back our stray bullet Juice Robinson. And that gives me an idea. I’m announcing and anointing you Juice Robinson as one-quarter of the Unified World Trios Champions! Are you down with that?”
Juice: “I’m down with that!”
“How do you even split nine belts four ways?” wondered Excalibur.
