Many fans are expecting the two competitors to steal the show, as a recent tag match between The Motor City Machine Guns (Sabin & Alex Shelley) and Lio Rush/Nick Aldis was highly praised.

In a recent interview with the Sunday Night's Main Event podcast, Sabin was asked what he's doing to prepare for his bout with Rush at Slammiversary.

“Yeah, I mean I’m just going to watch Lio Rush matches, prepare and study. I have the same training program, I kind of do everything the same for whatever match it is, every match is an important match to me. Yeah, especially when I’m wrestling an opponent that I’ve never been in the ring with before. I’ve never had a one on one match with Lio actually. We’ve been on the same side of matches back in the day in Ring Of Honor, but we’ve never been against each other. Yeah, everything will be the same with the exception of watching Lio Rush matches.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Sabin talked about getting to work as an agent for IMPACT. Fans can learn more here.
