Abyss comes out strong, and takes out Morgan quickly. Abyss takes the boards full of tacks and lays them next to the ramp. Back in the ring, Morgan takes over, and opens up a bag of tacks and neatly piles them in the corner, and then gets a chair. Abyss fights back, only to get a Carbon Footprint. Another bag of tacks is opened on the first pile, and Abyss goes to powerbomb Morgan through the tacks, however Morgan gets out of it. They fight up the ramp, and Abyss looks to have Morgan ready for a choke slam off the ramp though the boards full of tacks. However, Morgan kicks Abyss in the groin, and then hits a Carbon Footprint, launching Abyss into the boards of tacks for the win.
Winner – Matt Morgan

MCMG take out Suicide quickly to start. The crowd has a ‘Fallen Angel’ chant. MCMG and Lethal are on the floor, and Suicide leaps off the apron with Creed on his shoulders on the other 3! Suicide tries to get the belt, but Lethal dropkicks him off. Creed sneaks up to the ropes and starts toward the belt, but Lethal turns around and sees him. They stare at each other for a minute, but MCMG comes in and takes both out. Creed then hits a springboard bulldog on both MCMG. Lethal launches Creed up to the X ropes, but MCMG double team him down. All but Shelley works a tower of doom, but Suicide leaps on the X ropes!

Lethal hits a flapjack, Sabin hits a tornado DDT, Suicide hits his weird move that I can’t even describe, & Creed hits a Pumphandle TKO. Sabin, Lethal and Creed are all on the X Ropes, and Suicide leaps off the top of the trust (just like Daniels did years ago), knocking off the other 3 and taking the title down.

Recap of Sting/Angle feud.
Sting (c) vs. Kurt Angle – TNA Heavyweight Title
Mick Foley as the Special Guest Enforcer, Jeff Jarrett as Special Guest Referee
They go back and forth for a bit, but then Sting sends Angle HIGH over the top rope to the floor. Sting then follows outside and sends Angle to the guard railing. Back in the ring, Sting nails a crazy big powerbomb. However, Angle fights back and actually hits the moonsault for 2! Angle is slow to get up, and Sting hits a Scorpion Death Drop, but both men stay down. At the count of 7, both men get up and Sting charges Angle, but Angle dodges it and Sting drills JJ. Sting then drops Angle and locks on the Death Lock, and Angle is tapping, but JJ is still out. Sting lets go to check on JJ, and Foley gets in the ring to check on JJ. Angle gets a chair, but Foley fights it away and goes after Angle with it. Angle ducks and Foley drills Sting. Angle only gets a 2 count, as JJ is still groggy. Angle wonders what is up with JJ, and he spits in JJ’s face, and JJ slugs Angle, right into another Scorpion Death Drop for the pin.
Winner and STILL Champion – Sting
Angle screams at JJ, while it seems as Sting and Foley exchange a few words calmly.
Show over.
