Pre-Show:
Eric Young comes out and is followed by his legion. EY then says that his big announcement is…then Robert Roode comes out to start the Robert Roode Open Challenge. He comes over to EY and tell him that EY should be the one that challenges him. EY is reluctant to start, but then Roode says that he doesn’t wrestle, he might be fired. Roode then hits EY over the head with the mic, and tosses him in the ring, telling the ref to ring the bell.

Robert Roode (w/ Ms Brooks) vs. Eric Young
Roode is beating down EY to start. Young fights back, pushes Roode off the top turnbuckle, and then hits an elbow drop for 2. EY off the ropes, nails a crossbody, but Roode rolls through it, and scores the pin with his legs on the ropes. Young & the fans convince the ref that Roode had his feet on the ropes, and the ref restarts the match. Roode charges EY in the corner, but EY puts his feet up, double boot to the face of Roode, then pins him with HIS feet on ropes for the pin!

Back in the ring, Sabin hits an elbow drop, then puts Daniels in the Tree of Woe, quickly hitting the Hesitation Drop Kick. Sabin goes to the floor, and tosses a chair in the ring, but AJ Styles comes down and gets it out of the ring. Sabin is distracted, goes for another Hesitation, but Daniels pulls himself up, and Sabin slides through to the floor, and Daniels off the top, dives on Sabin. Back in the ring, Sabin is sitting on the top, and Daniels pulls him off into a powerbomb, followed by the BME. Daniels then rolls a DDT into a small package for the pin.

Kevin Nash tells Starr & Shelley that they need a win badly, and that he needs atleast 90% from each of them. They then sych up for the match.

Killings & Starr have a dance off, but then Starr boots Killings in the gut. Shelley and Starr double team, but Killings gets to Hoyt. They double elbow drop Shelley. Starr is in, and he lays Hoyt out along the ropes. Starr leaps over the ropes, and corkscrew splashes Hoyt (which was AWESOME). Starr/Shelley try to double team Hoyt, but Starr dives to the floor on Killings. Shelley calls for Starr for help, but Starr thinks that Shelley is asking for the camera, and Shelley gets rolled up and pinned by Hoyt.
Winners – Killings & Hoyt

Cage backstage with Borash, tells Borash that AJ is a coward for jumping him from behind, and Cage says that he would never do that.

Christian Cage vs. AJ Styles
Very hot back and forth match. AJ is on fire, hits a series of drop kicks, then the moonsault into reverse DDT for 2. AJ goes for the Styles Clash, but Cage reverses it, hits the ropes, and AJ hits the Pele. AJ goes for a springboard dive, but Cage drops him into a powerbomb. Cage gets a chair, and Daniels comes down and stops Cage from using the chair. Daniels & Cage are playing tug of war with the chair, and AJ tries to sunset flip Cage, but Cage lets go of the chair, then sits on AJ for the pin.
Winner – Cage

AJ & Daniels start to argue, and Jerry Lynn, Sonjay Dutt, and Jay Lethal come out and try to keep them apart. Rhino comes out and tells Daniels & AJ that the riff between him and Cage started just this way, and he says that they should just man up and put it behind them. AJ goes to shake Daniels hand, but he takes the mic, and says ‘Thanks Dr. Phil’ to Rhino, and walks away.

Borash backstage with AMW. Storm says that they’re attitude might not be the best, but they never turned their back on the USA. Storm then says that LAX should get out of the ring and go finish his garage.

Latin American Exchange (c) (w/ Konnan) vs. America’s Most Wanted (w/Gail Kim) – NWA Tag Team Titles
Konnan on the mic, starts to tell us that they are protected under First Amendment, but AMW jumps them. LAX quickly regains control. The match is completely blown now, and all 4 men keep going back and forth. AMW goes for a Death Sentence on Homicide, but Hernandez breaks it up. Homicide goes for a Gringo Killa on Cowboy, but Cowboy slides out and tosses Homicide into Hernandez. Homicide then falls to the floor, and AMW nails the Death Sentence on Hernandez. The ref is distracted with Konnan, and Homicide nails Storm with the torch, and Storm gets pinned.
Winners and Still Champions – LAX

LAX jumps AMW, and they set up Gail for the Gringo Killa, but Petey Williams comes out with a pipe, and they fight off LAX. Cornette comes down and says that the management and fans do not approve of the burning of the flag, and he strips LAX of the Tag Titles. They have until Thursday to give the belts up, or else their contracts will be terminated.

James Mitchell cuts another amazing promo on Abyss.

Sting (c) vs. Abyss (w/ James Mitchell) – NWA World Title
Sting hits the ring, and they start brawling. Sting uses the baseball bat, and they fall into the floor, and then fight though the crowd. Abyss takes control, and he sets up some tables next to ramp, and puts a few barbwire boards on the tables. They fight back in the ring, and leave the tables alone. Sting puts the Scorpion Death Lock on Abyss, but Abyss gets to the ropes. Back up, Abyss nails a Black Hole Slam for 2. The Ref gets bumped, and Abyss gets a bag of tacks. Sting is waiting for Abyss in the ring with his bat, and then hits the Reverse DDT. Sting lays the tacks out in the ring, and he goes to drop Abyss in it, but Abyss choke slams Sting into the tacks!!! Sting rolls out, and starts to Hulk up. Sting drop toe holds Abyss into the tacks, and then they go to the floor, where Sting hangs Abyss up by his ankles, just like at Impact. They fight up the ramp, and Sting goes to shove Abyss off through the barbwire, and the ref tries to stop him, but Sting clotheslines the ref, and then shoves Abyss through the barbwire. The ref calls for the bell. Because of TNA rules, titles do change hands on a DQ, and we have a new champ!
Winner and NEW Champion – Abyss!

Recap of Joe/Angle.

Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle
Tie-ups to start, then Angle hits an over the head belly to belly, then clotheslines him over the top. Joe pulls Angle out of the ring, grabbing both legs, and swings him into the guard rail. Back in the ring, Joe sends Angle into the ringpost shoulder first, then Joe dives on him. Joe slams Angle into the ringsteps, and Angle is busted open. Angle off the ropes, and Joe nails the quick powerslam, and he continues to open up the wound. Joe puts Angle on the turnbuckle, and looks to go for the Muscle Buster, but Angle comes off with a DDT. Angle hits the Triple Germans, and then goes for the Olympic Slam, but Joe slides out, and puts Angle in the turnbuckle again, this time hitting the Muscle Buster for a 2 count. Joe calls for the Choke, but Angle nails the Olympic Slam for 2. The crowd starts to chant ‘make him tap’. Angle locks the Ankle Lock on. Joe turns his body, and pulls Angle down into the Rear Naked Choke. Angle eventually grabs Joe’s ankle again, and turns the Choke around and locks on the Ankle Lock again. Joe then flips through it, only to get another Olympic Slam, and then another Ankle Lock for the tap out!
Winner – Angle

Joe calls Angle back in the ring, and says that if Angle is any sort of man, he’d give him a rematch. Angle looks at him, goes to shake his hand, and pulls away. Angle then leaves, and goes up the heel ramp, into the heel tunnel.
