Commercial Break
New York Street Fight
Team 3D and Jesse Neal vs. The Band
Match begins in progress when we’re back from the break. There is a large amount of plunder in the ring and they all hit each other with it. Team 3D in full control. They get tables from under the ring. Bubba sets up to put Sean Waltman through the table, but Bubba the Love Sponge comes out for a distraction. Nash’s hair appears bleached or some odd color. Distraction allows Waltman to hit Bubba with a top rope X-factor through the table for the pin.
Winners: The Band
After the match, Eric Young runs in and clears house and makes a match vs. Kevin Nash in a cage for Lockdown.
Commercial Break
JB interviews Hogan about Lethal Lockdown. Hogan says he has four main event guys on his team but is still worried about Flair. Hogan approaches Bischoff backstage and they have a meeting to get to.
Shannon Moore vs. Kazarian
Back and forth action to start. Shannon controls for a bit, then Kaz pulls down the top rope and sends Shannon to the floor. Kaz follows and beats Moore a bit on the floor before bringing him back in for a legdrop for 2. Douglas Williams comes out wearing the X Title on the ramp. It will be a three-way dance with Williams, Kaz and Moore at Lockdown. Williams joins the broadcast table. Kaz hits a gut buster to counter a springboard by Moore, and gets a 2 count. Williams cutting promos on the flipping of the X Division wrestlers. Great action in this match. Top rope rana by Kazarian. Asai moonsault by Moore onto the floor. Top rope spinning moonsault by Moore on Kaz in the ring for 2. Tenay started talking about a time limit then the bell rang. Oops!
Time Limit Draw
JB interviews Velvet Sky about her match tonight.
Commercial Break
Hogan and Bischoff have their meeting backstage in the office. Hogan wants to know what’s going on brother. Bischoff says to trust him. He’s being cool with Flair to gain his trust (then saying it on national TV though, so that seems dumb). “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer” says Bischoff. Hogan sighs. Bischoff exits. Black Machismo comes in and says he thinks the Band is a problem. He suggests reuniting the Mega Powers to take down the Band. Hogan says they will do it after Lockdown if Lethal could find Hogan’s “banana hammock”.
JB interviews Angelina Love backstage. She wants to bring back woman’s wrestling. Tara enters and they argue. They are tag partners at Lockdown! Ah a Russo favorite. “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer” Tara says. Hmm
Commercial Break
Christy is backstage with the Pope and Abyss. Pope cuts a promo on AJ, and Abyss cuts a promo on Desmond Wolfe.
Angelina Love comes out for her match. Velvet Sky comes out on the stage and changes their match from a “Leather and Lace” match to a handcuffed match where Angelina is handcuffed. Why wouldn’t she have made this for the title?
Commercial Break
Handcuffed Match
Angelina Love vs. Velvet Sky
Velvet beats down Angelina with the title belt. Then grabs a mic and declares this also an “I Quit” match. Velvet beats her a bit but Angelina wont say it. Why wouldn’t she have made this for the Knockout’s Title? She beats on Angelina a bit more. Slow. Props Angelina in the corner and on the mic says she will strip her naked. Velvet: “Say IT!” Angelina “No, you bitch”. Lacey Von Erich and Madison Rayne run in. Tara’s music plays and she runs in. Tara clears out the BP and unlocks Angelina.
Winner: No
Angelina goes to shake Tara’s hand but she refuses. oOoOoooo.
Christy is outside the Impact Zone where Abyss has been laid out! More after the break.

Match breaks down a bit. Red hits Code Red on Sabin for the pin.
Winners: Morgan & Red
Morgan attacks Red after the bell because he didn’t get the pin. Apparently Red is not the full champ. Morgan sets up Red on the ringpost for another concussion attack but Red moves.

Winner: Jeff Hardy<
Immediately after the match James Storm attacks again, and brings Jeff into the ring. He blows a fireball/liquid at Jeff's face (Spike TV showed like a hiccup-freeze frame) and Jeff is down. RVD runs in and clears out the heels and tends to Jeff.

JB interviews the Pope about the tag match tonight now without Abyss. His prayers are with Abyss. Lethal comes over and calls him "Reverend Slick" and calls JB Mean Gene. I think Lethal will sub for Abyss as Pope's partner tonight.
