Some say the match will be a "Retirement Match", which will mean one retires from ACW and the Anime world, also their GM spot. Others say it will be a "Final Match", to decide who was the better person. Even others are saying it could be an "Interpromotional Match" with an Impulse star representing Goku and an Excel star representing Vegeta after months of Excel and Impulse stars "invading" one's brand.
