Pyros go off as the iMPACT! theme plays.
Tenay: Hello once again, Mike Tenay, Don West, here ringside for TNA iMPACT! Don, have you ever witnessed a better PPV than TNA’s Lockdown event last Sunday night?
West: Mike, in my opinion that was my favorite TNA PPV to date. It was great, top to bottom, that was one special night. There was so much carnage inside of 6 Sides of Steel, and I am afraid the worst is about to come.
Tenay: The fallout of LockDown begins tonight, right now, but first let’s show you what went down in the controversial main event for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship when Kurt Angle took on Christian Cage!
VIDEO: Highlights of the Lockdown NWA title match.

Cage: Shut up! Now last Sunday didn’t go as I planned! That was my match, the whole match! I brought more than my A game! Angle cheated!
Tenay: Cage looks pretty mad!
Cage: This is it! I have been screwed way too many times! I know exactly who to blame!
West: Cornette? Angle?
Cage: It’s all your fault…Tomko! Yea that’s right, he had me in the Ankle Lock, you were mere feet away and you could have broken it and you blew it pal!
Tenay: Typical Christian Cage, playing the blame game!
Cage: Tomko, there is only one way to redeem yourself! Either you face Kurt Angle one on one right here tonight on iMPACT! or you get down on your knees, beg for forgiveness, and kiss my feet!
West: Cage has lost it here Mike!
Cage: So what’s it going…
Tomko snatches the mic away from Cage.
Tomko: For the past 6 months I have done nothing but stand at your side and back you up, take the blame, and fought for you no matter how dumb or idiotic you happened to be, and you know what Cage, I am tired of it. I am out of here…Oh, before I leave, about your proposal. You can take your deal and shove it up your ass, and for my decision, I am taking Angle. I am going to show you how to beat the NWA Champ like a real man for once. Take some notes!
Tomko leaves Cage in the ring.
