Jim Cornette stands dead center in the ring with a mic in hand. There are balloons and confetti all over the ring.
Tenay: Oh Don, we kick off this week’s iMPACT! with a man whom I thought couldn’t get any lower than he was already, that’s right I am talking about Jim Cornette!
Cornette: Alright, now you animals in the crowd shut your traps, and show some respect to the director of TNA Management! Now, I would like present to you, your new TNA World Heavyweight Champion…The Samoan Submission Machine…Samoa Joe!
Samoa Joe’s music hits as the New TNA World Champion comes down the ramp.
Samoa Joe walks into the ring with his shiny new TNA World Heavyweight Championship belt and holds it high in front of the crowd while getting a horrible reception from the fans.
Cornette: Samoa Joe, congratulations, congrats on being the TNA World Champion, congrats on coming to me on such short notice last week, and congrats on putting this whole plan together!
Joe: Well Jim, I would like to thank you, because many of these idiots in the iMPACT! Zone don’t know it, but without the genius of this man right here, none of this would have been possible. May I add, that now I am the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, you will see matches that won’t put you to sleep, you will see matches that you would have never seen before, and you will see a champion that this company has never had! Jim Cornette said it best, it’s quite simple, Samoa Joe, the new TNA Champion, means one thing, well in reality, it means two, one more money, and two, the new era. You see, TNA has been in this slump, TNA needed saving. It need saving from the Kurt Angle’s, the Christian Cage’s, and most of all, the Sting’s. You see, it was destiny that Sting retired, because all TNA needed was that small opening, and before I knew it, I was talking to Jim Cornette backstage last week and everything fell into place. I am going to make TNA my personal playground, there’s nothing…
SoCal Val comes into the ring with a telegram and hands it to Jim Cornette.
Joe: Who the hell let this tramp interrupt the greatest segment in this show’s history, and what the hell is that? Get her out of here!
SoCal Val runs out of the ring crying as Jim Cornette opens the envelope and starts reading it.
Joe: What is that Cornette? Speak up!
Cornette: Oh, it’s nothing Joe, keep going.
Joe: No, I want to know what was so important that it interrupted my speech…
Joe yanks it from the hands of Cornette and starts reading it.
Joe: What the hell is this Cornette? Oh is this that new acquisition you mentioned at Bound for Glory? (continues reading) So this chump has signed with TNA huh? …Coming to iMPACT!? When? Why doesn’t it say his name Jim? What the hell is going on, the TNA World Champion has a right to know!
Cornette: Joe, TNA has signed someone, and that man is going to debut next week on iMPACT! I am sorry for this interruption, I just needed confirmation that he agreed to debut next week, I wanted the news as soon as possible…
Joe: Well, looks like it was the worst possible time, who is this guy? You know what? Don’t tell me, as TNA Champion, I am going to handle this by myself. I am taking things into my own hands, this guy thinks he is so damn important to ruin my segment, I am going to ruin his, you watch Cornette, next week, when this guy wants to show his face finally, I will be there to rain on his parade…
Joe storms out of the ring.
Cornette: No Joe! Wait, it’s not like that!
Tenay: Looks like Joe’s parade just got rained on, and Joe is not happy!
West: What I want to know is who is this mystery man!
Tenay: Well Don, iMPACT! has kicked off with a bang, what else is going to happen tonight!?!?!?
BACKSTAGE:
Jeremy Borash is backstage with “Wildcat†Chris Harris.
JB: Jeremy Borash backstage with “Wildcat†Chris Harris and Chris last week was a bit of a shocker to the fans, most think Chris Harris is showing a different side of him lately, can you enlighten us?
Harris: Well Jeremy it’s quite simple to understand, at Bound for Glory I had the best match of my career, I put it on the line and went balls out, and the fans really enjoyed it, now I am dedicated to making the fans happy, so in order to do that, the Wildcat is living on the edge, living for the moment. I proved it last week, a lot of people thought the Steiners would destroy me in a 2 on 1 situation, but I thought ahead, I am not as stupid as the Steiners think. Jeremy right here tonight, I am going out there once again, I am not going to stop until I get my hands on the Steiners!
JB: You sound serious here Chris, don’t get too over your head!
Harris: Jeremy, you should have told me that a long time ago, because there’s no turning back, I am going to show everyone just how wild this wildcat really is!
Harris walks away and AJ Styles walks into the shot.
JB: AJ…
AJ: JB, I just don’t understand sometimes, he is going to get himself killed, but I understand where he is coming from, he has unfinished business, and so do I, keep watching the show Jeremy and you’ll see what I am talking about…
AJ Styles walks away.
JB: Unfinished business?

Tenay: Here’s is one of the craziest superstars I have ever seen in the six sided ring Don, this man has had a transformation since Bound for Glory!
West: Mike, last week you saw Harris surprise the Steiners with a lead pipe, I am afraid of what he is going to do this week!
Harris: Now I have heard a lot of things lately, about Chris Harris, Chris Harris has gone locko, Chris Harris is out of his mind, Chris Harris is going to kill us all! Now I am not telling you that you are wrong, but ever since Bound for Glory, I will tell you this, never say never! Ever since my match with AJ, I haven’t been the same. I have been to the top, now I know what it’s like, and now that fans know what it’s like with Harris in the lime light, and both I, and the fans…like it. I just gave you a taste last week. Who in their right mind would call out both Rick and Scott Steiner, no one that’s not a complete maniac, with the exception of this wildcat! However, it didn’t go the way I wanted it to, I didn’t get the job done. You see, that brings me to why I am out here now, I want to finish the job, call me crazy I don’t care, but Steiners! Come on out, I am calling you out!
Scott Steiner’s music hits as the Steiner Brothers come out of the tunnel and walk into the ring.

Harris: Well Scottie, you should have thought of that before you blindsided me at Bound for Glory…
Scott: Listen, you don’t remember Harris you got me suspended from this company, I am sorry if that beating me and my brother Rick, along with your on and off boyfriend AJ Styles clogged your memory tuff guy!
Harris: Listen, you struck a fan, that ain’t my problem, Scott you got yourself suspended! Stop beating around the bush, we know we have a score to settle, so let’s go! Come on!
Scott: Boy, listen, last week we just got out of the ring, we gave the rookie the break, you seriously think you can fend for yourself against the legendary Steiner Brothers? Listen kid-o, you might call yourself crazy, but I call you dead ass stupid!
Harris: Scott, maybe if you got the cotton balls out of your mouth maybe I could actually have understood a damn thing you said right there!
Rick sneaks up behind Harris.
Scott: Hey punkass, I have just about had it up to here with you, I can’t stand you, I think you need some pills because you are on your way to the looney hospital…
Rick takes a shot at Harris. Harris turns around magically and catches the shot from Rick. Scott charges at Harris, but Harris nails a back elbow shot to the face of Scott.

Jeff Jarrett’s music hits as the King of the Mountain comes down the ramp.
Tenay: We knew he was coming Don, yes, it’s true the King of the Mountain Jeff Jarrett is live on your TV screen right now. It has been two weeks, at Bound for Glory, where Jarrett took himself and Kurt Angle over the edge of the stage and crashed into some stage equipment, since Jarrett landed on top of Angle, he didn’t have that serious of injuries, but Angle is another story. Reported of TNAwrestling.com Kurt is still under extensive care!
Jarrett: Aren’t you glad to see me??? The King of the Mountain is back on the top, that’s right! Mike Tenay, get your professor ass on up here, I want you to interview me, come get up in this ring!
Tenay: Oh gee Don, I should have seen this one coming, I will be right back.
Mike Tenay gets up and takes his headset off and picks up a mic and walks to the ring.
Tenay: Alright Jarrett, let’s get to talking, what the hell were you thinking at Bound for Glory, faking a serious neck injury, only to dupe Kurt Angle into helping you up the ramp on a stretcher, then busting out and sending both of you off the ramp? Jarrett! That’s low even for you!
Jarrett: Mike, I am sorry you feel that way, but I didn’t even come out here to talk about that…but since you brought it up…
West: Oh here we go!
Jarrett: Mike Tenay, even Don West, sitting on his fatass over there, and all you fans, listen to the King of the Mountain speak! The Olympic Hero, your TNA Savior, your Olympic Gold Medalist, at Bound for Glory, was taken to the absolute limit, by me! The legendary rubber match, Angle and Jarrett 3, some say there was no winner, when in reality, there was a definite winner and a sure fire loser! I won, Angle lost!
Tenay: Where is it your place to make that conclusion??!?!?
Jarrett: Well Mike, you don’t see Kurt mumbling around in this ring now do you? You see, sure I might not have gotten the 1…2…3, but I sure got the W 2 weeks ago. Let’s face it, Kurt was the best TNA had to offer, I beat him, some might have said Sting was the best, but you don’t see him here either! I am not only the King of the Mountain, Mike, I am the King of TNA!
AJ Styles’ music hits as the Phenomenal One comes down the ramp.
Jarrett: AJ what the hell are you doing here, you came to kiss my feet didn’t you, I am the King…
AJ: Shut the hell up! King of TNA? Jeff are you serious? Listen here King of TNA, there is only one man that rules and embodies TNA, the absolute soul of this company, he isn’t Kurt Angle, he isn’t Sting, and he sure as hell ain’t Jeff Jarrett. He is Mr. TNA, he is Phenomenal, and he is AJ Styles!
Jarrett: You came out here to start something with me Styles? These people are tired of this kid, we did our thing years ago, stop living in the past! Nobody wants to see me kick you ass again right?
AJ: Jarrett if there is going to be any kicking, I will kick you straight in the jaw to shut your yap so you can stop suffering from diarrhea of the mouth!
West: What a verbal onslaught by Styles!
Jarrett: Listen AJ, just because you couldn’t beat Kurt and get your belt back at Hard Justice, doesn’t mean you can rag on me for beating Kurt, I always won my matches, and well, you won…most of yours!
AJ gets pissed and pushes Jarrett, Mike Tenay runs out of the ring.
AJ: Jarrett! I can wrestle circles around you anyday old man!
Jarrett: Oh old man huh?
Jarrett charges Styles and both men start beating the hell out of each other. Styles connect with hard chops on Jarrett, but Jarrett counters and rams AJ into the corner. Security runs in and breaks them up.
