WHY SHANE WHY?!
We open the show, with Shane McMahon and Samoa Joe in the ring, talking about what happened this past Sunday. Shane talks about Sting being to old to carry this company on his back, and that it's time younger talent shined, and younger talent made it to the top of the mountain. Which is why he felt that Samoa Joe would be the PROPER champion for TNA moving forward. This led to Dixie coming out, saying how this wasn't what she had in mind when she sold stock to Shane, and brought him in to help run things, and if she knew this was what would have happened, she rather the company have died, than see it ran this way. Shane said that he's sorry that she feels that way, and they can talk about things even more after the show.

He wished the boys good luck, and just walked out before anyone could say anything.

This would lead to Rene Dupree coming out,and putting the team down, and how he might not like the fans here tonight, but he likes the people in the ring less, and even would issue a challenge to Bryan for his title. Bryan agrees and sends the rest of the team away to fight him alone.
