Consequences Creed vs. Sonjay Dutt (w/ SoCal Val) vs. Tanahashi vs. Homicide vs. Jimmy Rave vs. Petey Williams vs. Doug Williams vs. Volador vs. Jay Lethal vs. Eric Young – TNA Rankings Match
West & Tenay do a very poor job at explaining the rules to this match. Rave & Creed start, and the other 8 are in the corners to be tagged in, but no one is tagging and others are running in all willy nilly. Volador eventually eliminates Dutt first. Rave leaps in, and hits the Rock The World on Volador and he is eliminated. Doug Williams runs in and hits Rave with a Rolling German Suplex for the pin. The match breaks down, Williams sends Petey, EY and Creed to the floor, but Homicide comes in and hits the Gringo Cutter on Williams, then flies over the top on Petey, EY and Creed, and goes flying into the crowd. He appears hurt, and the refs eliminate him because he is too hurt to complete. TNA OGs (Creed, EY, Lethal, & Petey) stare down Tanahashi & Williams. Petey then hits Creed with a Canadian Destroyer for a pin, and Creed is eliminated. Tanahashi with a giant splash off the top to eliminate Williams. Lethal rolls up Tanahashi. Williams with a big clothesline on Lethal, but EY comes in and hits his cutter to eliminate Williams. EY & Lethal are left, and they shake hands. They go toe to toe and eventually EY hits Lethal with a Northern Lights for the pin, and the win.

Crystal with JJ & Mick. Mick’s kid is sleeping on the couch because he is worn out from riding roller coasters all day. JJ says that he is going to end all this tonight, and he will confront the MEM himself, while he wants Foley to go talk to the ‘kids’, I guess meaning the TNA OGs.

Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed (w/ Rhaka Khan) vs. Roxxi & Taylor Wilde
Taylor & Roxxi control the start of the match, as Saeed started out for her team. Kong gets tagged in, and Rhaka grabs Roxxi’s legs while the refs back is turned, and now the heels have taken over. Kong is now completely destroying Roxxi. Roxxi dodges a splash from Saeed, and tags in Taylor who cleans house, including Rhaka. Kong on the floor, Roxxi hits a splash off the top rope to the floor on Kong! In the ring, Taylor hits a German Suplex with a bridge on Saeed for the pin.
Winners – Taylor & Roxxi

JJ confronts the MEM. He wants them to be professionals, and calls him his peers. Angle gets in his face, and reminds JJ that JJ claims he is no longer a wrestler. Angle storms off pissed, and Nash tells JJ that the MEM is the future of the company.

Sheik Abdul Bashir vs. Rhino
This match goes back and forth…however the real news is that the Insane Clown Posse and Scott Hall all wearing Juggalo World Order shirts, come down to ringside and stand right in front, dead center. Bashir & Rhino fight on the floor, and Bashir mocks Hall. West & Tenay DO NOT mention Hall & ICP by name at all, and only says ‘some familiar faces are ringside.’ Bashir and Referee Shane Sewell argue a bit, but then Bashir locks on a sleeper. Rhino fights out, goes for a GORE GORE GORE, but Bashir kicks him in the face. He spits in Sewells face, then turns around into the GORE GORE GORE for the pin.
Winner – Rhino

Foley is talking up the TNA OGs, but the Machineguns are ignoring him, and talking to each other. Foley confronts the Machineguns, and Shelley says that now that Foley is the majority owner, he should take his dumpy ass back to his desk, but Lethal charges in there and gets a couple of shots in on Shelley, and the OGs kick them out the lockerroom.
