Mike Tenay is in the ring with the new champion, AJ Styles. Styles calls the belt the most prestigious title in the world. AJ is about to talk about Abyss when Jeff Jarrett’s music plays and out he comes. He says everybody should be ashamed because it took 2 men to beat JJ. He reminds us that he beat 4 men to win that title. Apparently there are also rematch clauses in TNA, because JJ asks for a rematch at Slammiversary. AJ says if JJ wants the belt, come and get it. Monty Brown attacks from behind. When AJ fights back, JJ comes in and it’s two on one. Abyss then shows up, faces off with JJ & Brown, and finally gives AJ a black hole slam. AMW and Sean Waltman come for the rescue.
