*The TNA theme hits, and after seeing the graphics flash across the screen we go to ringside where we hear the roaring crowd...
Pyro goes off above the ring in blue and red sparks as the crowd goes nuts*
Welcome everyone to TNA iMpact! We're live here in the Impact Zone and what an iMpact we have for you tonight
I think this may be one of the most eventful ever Mike... theres just so much going on!
There sure is, and one of those is last week, new TNA World Heavyweight Champion and X Division Champion came out for his victory speech, but was interupted by Kurt Angle.
Well, Kurt it seems thought it was a disgrace for an x Division wrestler to be Heavyweight Champ, in fact, he thought that X Division wrestlers should stick to their own weightclass.
Ya, and after making a statement like that, he said he should be able to be X Division Champion as well, and when Kaz said he actuallyearned his title, The Angle Alliance, Kurt, AJ Styles and TOmko attacked Kaz and stole the X Division belt!
But also last week, Robert Roode attempted to reform Roode Inc, by making a businesss proposition to the entire X Division for them to join Roode Inc. and team with him.
However, Jay lethal replied on behalf of the division and declined, and you know Rodert Roode wasnt happy about that.
Also, Rhino beat Sting and declared he should retire, and hang up his career, what will happen there?
Its all tonight on iMpact! But first, lets here from Rellike and Black reign after their attack last week on LAX!
Rellik/Reign Promo:
*Black Reign music hits and the arena turns black anr red. Slowly, Reign walks out from the tunnel to boos, and then Rellik joins him. They stand at the top of the entrance ramp for a while. They just stand there blankly, looking around the arena. After about half a minute they begin to walk to the ring and walk up the stairs and in. Rellik hands a mic over to Black reign and the lights come back on*
Reign: Wait.. Please... My friends in the back, turn down the lights... Please
*The lights go back to how they were, the arena is black with only a small red spotlight on Black reign and Rellik*
Reign: Now.... Many of you may be wondering... What could provoke me, and Rellik... To do such a thing like we did last week.... WELL LET ME TELL YOU!........ We had to make.. a statement... To the tag team... division in TNA!
*The crowd boos*
Reign: And it seems... Like we did... Because like Jimy cornette said... Last week... He had no choice but to name us the number one contenders.... For the Tag Team Titles....
*Crowd boos again*
Reign: Becuase I can gurantee... If he refused... Then all of TNA would feel our reign of terror...
*He now sits down in the middle of the ring, and has a dememnted look on his face, from what you an see through the paint*
Reign: Let me gurantee you... We... Myself... And Rellik... Are just as violent... Just as militant... As those mexicans LAX... We have no problem using violent acts... To get what we want... And in 3 weeks... At Against All Odds... We will stack the odds... Against LAX... And emerge... TNA... World.. Tag Team Champions... Thank you... For listening...
*He stands up now to a chorus of boos. Without any music at all, Reign and Rellik walk to the backstage area through the darkness... We now go back to ringside...*
Well Ill agree that theyre certainly as violent as LAX, and I guess their as militant too in the wa that theyll do whatever it takes to get what they want, but I cant condone their actions.
No.. These two are two of the most evil men in profession wrestling, and now that theyre the number one contenders, I think LAX might have a tough time against them at Against All Odds.
And folks, last week, the Rock N Rave Infection of Lance Hoyt and Jimmy Rave had an attempt to be the number one contenders for the tag titles, but in order for that, Hoyt had to beat Homicide!
But as we saw and heard about again tonight, Rellik and Reign interfered, causing it to be a no contest and now Jim Cornette has rules that he is mamking Rellik and Reign the contenders instead of the Rock N Ravers!
Thats true, but also, he said while they arent the contenders, they can prove themselves this week in a match against Team 3D, and thats next!
Match 1: Team 3D vs Rock N Rave Infection
Lance Hoyt starts out in the ring agains Brother Ray. They move in on eachother and Hoyt throws a wild left that misses, and Ray takes a step back to be careful. Rey is a few inches from the right side ropes, and Hoyt charges, hits a clothesline and they both flip over and to the outside, crashing onto the floor. Johnny Devine, the 3rd man of team 3d is on the outside and without the ref seeing, he delivers a hard kick to the ribs of Hoyt. Ray rolls back into the ring and soon after Hoyt follows. Both men get to their feet and steady themselves followed by Hoyt following a righthanded haymaker! Ray pretends to throw a punch, but gets behind Hoyt and puts on a chinlock/headlock. Its sinched in tight and Hoyt is trying to get all the will he can. But before he can, Brother Ray switches up and goes froma shinlock, flipping him down to the mat with a side headlock takeover and keeps the chinlock locked on on the mat. The crowd chants "3D sucks, 3D Sucks" and Ray doesnt care. Finally he releases the hold, goes to the far right corner and tags in brother Devon. Devon wais for Hoyt to get up and goes for a clothesline, misses, bounces off the opposite ropes and comes back towards Hoyt. Hoyt bends down and flips Devon over him with a back body drop, crashing him to the mat. This gives Hoyt enough time to get to the far left corner and make a tag in to Jimmy Rave! Rave is pumped up and jumps up onto the top rope (not the turnbuckle, but the actual rope) and eaits for Devon to get up. When he does, Rave springboards off the rope and lands a dropkick on Devon, sening him crashing. Rave keeps going, goes to the nearest corner now, the far left one and leaps up there with one jump, and backflips right off onto De-von! This could be enough for a pin....

Kickout!
Rave is quick to his feet and pulls up Devon. He irish whips him into the far right corner, which is the Rock N Raves corner, and Rave goes over and tags in his partner Lance Hoyt. they go to work beating down De-von. Hoyt throws, a punch, followed bya punch from Rave. De-von is against the turnbuckle, and the Rock N Rave infection are setting up for a double team. Lance Hoyt goes down on all for infront of the turnbuckle and De-von. Jimmy Rave now sets up across the ring and then charges. He uses Hoyt and a ramp and jumps off him, getting air, flying towards Devon and hitting a knee to the face in the corner! Rave now gets out of the ring and waits on the apron as Hoyt covers Devon...

kickout
Hoyt pulled him up by the neck to a standing position adn then irish whipped him across the ring. Unfortunately for Hoyt, he irish whipped Devon right into his own corner. So Devon was able to tag Ray in and Ray came in between the ropes and hit a huge clothesline on Hoyt, flipping him over backwards!
Ray now bounced off the bottom rope, came bak towards Hoyt and dropped the knee right across the chest of the big rocker, Lance Hoyt!
Ray now went for a pin.....

Jimmy Rave came in and broke up the pin, saving Hoyt. As a result, all hell broke loose and De-von ame into the ring, chasing Rave to the outside. By the time he turned back around, Lance Hoyt was up but unstable on his feet. He looked over to his partner, Brother Ray and they lifted up Hoyt and delivered a huge double team 3D( lifting him on their shoulders, in the air and dropping Hoyt to the mat)
De-von now left the ring and Ray, the legal wrestler went for the cover.....

Pinfall!
Winners: Team 3D
*Team 3D's song hits and Ray gets his arm held up by the ref.Brother De-von comes in and they raise hands. The crowd has a mixed reaction. Team 3D leaves the ring and walks up the ramp, leaving the Rock N Rave Infection in the ring with Jimmy Rave and Christy Hemme helping Lance Hoyt up.*
Team 3D sure arent the nicest guys in the world, and I sure dont like them, but they sure looked good in the ring tonight.
Well Mike, so did the Rock N Rave iNfection, but they could pull it out.
That has to be devastating, a week after not being given a tag title shot, they now lose a chance to prove themselves to team 3D!
They put up a good fight though.
Now folks, we will have a treat for you! TNA isknown for its high flying action, and right now, we'll have a great X Division matchup.
Im pumped for this Mike. Itll be Maple Leaf Muscle Petey Williams taking on Sonjay Dutt!
Both these men are amazing athletes and it should be a good match, so lets head to the ring.
Match 2: "Maple Leaf Muscle"Petey Williams vs Sonjay Dutt
Both men are in the ring now, and the bell rings. Williams runs at Dutt but Sonjay ducks and as Petey Williams turns around, he jumps up and hits a back heel kick in the face of Petey, knocking him down! Dutt now l;eaps ontop of the far right turnbuckle in an instant while Petey is still down and goes for a legdrop, but Petey moves out of the way! Petey getsback to his feet and as Dutt gets up, he gets behind him and hits a suplex, and holds on as well. He hits another Suplex, keep his arms wrapped around again and hits the third suplex, releasing this one in mid air and sending Dutt across the ring! Petey holds onto the ropes, regaining his balace and then climbs up to the top of the turnbuckle (the one hn the top right corner). He waits there, patiently. As Dutt gets up, Petey launches off the turnbuckle and hits a clothesline, knocking Dutt back down! Petey now drops a knee right into the rib area of Dutt. He gets back up and drops another knee, this time into the stomach. Petey goes for one more, this time in the head area but Sonjay Dutt rolls out of the way! Petey crashes to the mat and Dutt gets back up, and as Petey gets up, Dutt is behind him and runs, grabs his head and hits a bulldog, driving Petey headfirst into the mat!

Dutt follows it up with a punch, and then another which Petey ducks and gets behind Dutt. Petey hits another suplex and Sonjay goes hard into the mat. Petey pulls Dutt back up, not wasting time, wanting to inflict as much damage as possible. Just as he gets Dutt on his feet, he again drives him to the mat, this time with a viscious DDT! Petey is all pumped up and flexes his mucles to the crowd, they boo right back though. As he turns around, Dutt is up and balanced and quickly jumps up into the air, wraps his legs around Petey's head and uses them to flip him down for a hurracarana and lands ontop of Petey and usesit as a pin attempt...

However Petey manages to irish whip him into the ropes. As Dutt comes back, Petey nails a kick to the guy and puts him in piledriver position. Petey then flips in the air, with Dutt with him and as he lands back on the mat, it ends in a piledriver on Dutt for the Canadian Destoryer!

Winner: Petey Williams
What a match!
What a canadian destroyer!
*Peteys canadian national anthem hits and he quickly slides out of the ring. He holds his ribs on the way up the ramp but has a cocky gring on his face*
I dont care how many times I see it, the Canadian Destroyer is an amazing move!
It sure is!
Well, this next match wont be known for its high flyers, but t should be ultra competitive between two big power wrestlers! Itll be Abyss taking on Matt Morgan, next!
Match 3: Abyss vs Matt Morgan
*Morgans music hits and the crowd stands up. Finally he comes up, looking pumped up! He jumps a few times on the stage and then walks to the ring with a big, powerful stride............. Moments later, Abyss well known music plays and he gets a pop. Seconds later he comes out with the mask covering his face as usual. He stares down at the ring and then begins a slow walk towards the six sided ring with Morgan waiting inside.....*
Morgan starts thing off with a side headlock on Abyss in the centre of the ring. These two big men are bot using their power, but Morgan is able to hold Abyss at bay. Abyss throws a hard elbow, and it forces Morgan to let go. Abyss apples a side headlock of his own, and brings Morgan down to one knee. Morgan tries to fight back, throwing an elbow of his own, but it doesnt work. Abyss keeps the side-headlock locked on. Morgan takes all his weight, throwing himself down to the mat, and as a result, he breaks the hold with Abyss flying over his back! The crowd applauds the great counter. As both men get up, Morgan is first to attack and throws a hard right hand. He follows it up with a kick to the guy and irish whips Abyss into the south rope. As Abyss comes back, Morgan hits a big boot to the face! Morgan pulls Abyss back up to his feet and lifts him up onto his shoulders. It looks like hes going fot the F5 but Abyss elbows him in the jaw and slides off Morgans shoulders back onto the mat. They stare eachother down now, and Morgan throws another huge punch. It stuns Abyss and Morgan irish whips him into the top right turnbuckle. Abyss regains his senses and charges out of the corner back towards Matt Morgan. Morgan sees him though and lifts up Abyss and hits a sidewalk slam!
Morgan goes for a pin......

Kickout!
Morgan doesnt get up right away, and nails a hard punch to Abyss's face. Morgan gets on his knees and then back up to his feet. He circles Abyss, and when Abyss get up, Morgan delivers a kick to gut and then apllies a two handed choke on Abyss. It chokes out Abyss slowly, but then Morgan lifts him up in the air and slams him back down to the mat on his back with a ChokePowerbomb!
The crowd loves it and Morgan again waits for Abyss to get up. It takes a while though, Abyss it clutching his throat on the ground. Abyss rolls over and then finally gets up. Morgan goes for a big boot but misses. As he turns around, Abyss grabs him around the shoulders, lifts up and twirls him around before slamming him to the mat for a Blackhole Slam! The crowd likes Abyss too and cheers, Abyss goes for the cover...
1.....

Kickout!
The crowd cant believe it! And neither can Abyss who slams the mat.
He pulls up Morgan, but before he can do anything, Morgan takes control and gets behind Abyss and hits a neckbreaker! Morgan falls to the mat with the neckbreaker as well and cant get up. Hes exhausted as well. Morgan slowly rolls over for a pin attempt...
1.....
2.........
Kickout!
Both men have enough power to get to their knees. In the centre of the ring, they trade shots from their knees, one punch after the other. Morgan throws a wild right that misses, and Abyss returns, and again, and again! Abyss had just landed three straight right hands and now got back to his feet. Morgan was on his knees still, and Abyss went charging at him, trying to ram his knee into Morgans face but missed! As he turned around, Morgan, from his knees threw a punch to the ribs of Abyss and got to his feet. He kicked Abyss in the midsection now and then lifted him up on his shoulders and hit the F5, throwing him off his shoulders with a spin crashing him to the mat...

Pinfall!
Winner: Matt Morgan
Wow, what a win for The Blueprint Matt Morgan.
He showed such power there Mike, lifting up The Moster Abyss.
He sure did Don, a great match for sure!
*Morgans music hits and he raises his arm. He climbs the bottom right turnbuckle and poses his muscles for the crowd as we head back to ringside with Morgan still celebrating...*
What a match that was, an impressive victory for Matt Morgan. But we have to switch gears a bit here to a serious issue. Last week, Curry man, the popular japanese wrestler walked out on his teammate Sharkboy during their tag team match!
Thats right Mike, and Sharkboy ended up losing the match, and tonight out own Jeremy Borash will interview them both, inside the six sided ring... Next!
Daniels/Sharkboy Promo:
*JB is in the ring and has two chairs with him. He has a mic and begins to talk*
JB: Ladies and gentleman, last week we saw a truly controversialevent as Curry Man, who was teaming with Sharkboy, walked out, seemingly out of nowhere during the match and left Sharboy "for bait". It resulted in their opponents, Tomko and AJ Styles from The Angle Alliance pickin up the win. Well tonight, I have the privelidge of having Sharkboy and the japanese Curry Man out here for an exclusive interview so we can get to the bottom of this. So fans, please welcome.... Curry Man!
*Curry Man comes out and is greeted with a mixed reaction. He walks calmly down to the ring and then takes a seat next to JB*
JB: Ok and now, his longtime tag team partner... Sharkboy!
*The crowd applauds and "Gimme a Shell Yeah" comes through the arena as Sharkboy comes out in his usual blue ring outfit and sharkmask.... He also takes a seat in a chair*
JB: Now guys, Sharkboy, lets start with you... You guys are long-time partners and have had a bit of success together, what do you think happened?
*Sharkboy takes the mic*
Sharkboy: *In Steve Austin voice* Well ya know JB, I dont know what this sum'bitch was doin, but all I know is I got my ass kicked in this very ring last week... And I aint to damn happy about it!
JB: So you have no clue at all what brougt Curry Man to walk out on you?
Sharkboy: Did you not hear what in the hell I just said son? I said I got my ass kick. And if your lookin for someone to blame... If you wanna point a finger, point it square in the face of this japanese bastard right here!
*The crowd cheers as Sharkboy throws the mic back to Jeremy Borash*
JB: Ok well, Curry Man, what are your thoughts... Can you explain, I know you dont speak much english but maybe, maybe just say what you can?
*Curry Man is handed the mic now, sits upright in his chair and lifts the bottom half of his mask above his mouth so hes able to talk*
Curry Man: Im sick of this guy!
* The crowd is stunned*
JB: Uh.... I thought you were japanese? I thought you couldnt speak any--
*Curry man grabs the mic back*
Curry Man: You thought wrong.... The "Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels can speak all the english in the world!
*The crowd gasps and JB looks confused as Curry Man rips off his mask.... As he takes it off he reveals who he really is.... Christopher Daniels!*
JB: Oh my god! Ladies and gentleman, its Christopher Daniels... Christopher, I have so many questios, but lets start with-
*Sharkboy grabs the mic and begins to talk*
Sharkboy: (In Austin impersonation voice) You no good bastard. Im gonna kick your-
*Daniels/Curry Man grabs the mic*
Daniels: *In a normal voice*Your not going to do anything... And you...
*He points to JB*
Daniels: I dont care what questions you have. Ill lay it out right now... Yes, I am Christopher Daniels. I always have been, but I decided to wrestler as Curry Man for a while, which is why I went out of my way to team with this loser, and dress up in this stuff. But Im sick of it. Im sick of teaming with a loser... Im sick of teaming with a guy who relies so heavily on me... And thats why i left my match last week, and thats why Im sick of dressing up like Curry Man... The Fallen Angel is here to stay!
*The crowd boos. Daniels throws down the mic, gets up and leaves without his mask. He walks to the top of the ramp and then removes his yellow top, revealing his sirtless torso, and then removes his yellow "Curry Man" pants and throws them to the ground, left standing in his old normal wrestling attire (normal underear and boots) Daniels then walks to the back as in the ring Sharkboy and JB look confused and then leave to the back as well as Sharkboys music plays*
I.. I cant believe it Don... Curry Man is gone.
DID YOU SEE THAT!!!
I am still in shock. So, if I have this right, when Christopher Daniels left us last year, he left. But then, he actually wrestled as Curry Man, disguising himself under that outfit to team with sharkboy. But now, he left in the middle of the match last week, and tonight, when asked for an explanation, Curry Man ripped off his mask, revealing himself to be Christiopher Daniels. So Curry Man was Daniels all this time. But he was sick of being Curry Man and now hes showing his true colors by walking out on Sharkboy last week, and leaving the interview again tonight.
And Mike, our fans showed they didnt like what he did by booing him right out of the arena!
We have to switch gears a little bit now, even though Im sure we'll talk more about that as the night goes on, but up next, it'll be Booker T in singles action against Tennesee Cowboy James Storm.
I expect a physical match here Mike.
Me too Don, the veteran Booker T can still handle himself in there, and you know James Storm loves to mix it up!
Match 4: Booker T vs "Cowboy" James Storm
* Sorry.. Bout your damn Luck" is heard througout the arena. The video display lights up and seonds later, out come "Cowboy" James Storm. As usual, hes greeted by boo's and holds a beer in hand as he makes his way to the ring............... "Can You Dig It... Suckaaaaa" Is heard, followed by Bookers well known music. Seconds later he energes from the back and leaps into the air with an energetic jump and his orange pyro shoots up out of the stage. Booker makes his way to the ring, slapping a few hands on his way down. He slides into the ring and then gets ready in his corner........*
The bell rings and Booker immediately paces towards Storm with a sort of speed walk. It catches Storm off guard and Booker delivers a hard chop in the middle of the ring. He follows it up with a hard knee to the stomach, bending Storm over ina hunched position, only for Booker to hit a DDT! The crowd is a live after the great start from Booker T. Booker taunts storm, slapping him across the head as hes down and the crowd pops! Booker delivers another slap to the head but Storm is on his knees now and afterwards, delivers a punch to the midsection, buying him time to get up... Both men are up now and Booker throws a wild right that graves the nose of Storm... Storm now oes on the attack, throwing a right and another, and another, and anotther, quickly now in jab form. The crowd boos but it has no effect as Storm stops and then grabs Bookers arm, forcing him intoa hammerlock hold, holdng Bookers arm behind his back... Booker clearly cant break the hold with his arms so instead tries to kick out of it. He takes his right leg and kicks backwards and up, tring to catch Storm between the legs. he doesnt connect though, but Storm, realising what Booker was trying to do has had enough. He keeps the hold on for a second longer and then delivers a hard push down, pushing Booker T forwards and down, face down on the mat. Booker lays they but Cowboy James Storm debates what to do next... He stalks Booker now and as Booker gets up, he greets him with a hard left. Storm throws another but Booker catches it nmid air. He holds Storms arm as the crowd cheers and Booker shouts in Storms face" Can You Dig Ittttttttt" and then pulls Storm in close and hits a perfect suplex, throwning Storm across the ring! Booker crawls over and gets an arm over...

kickout!
Booker slowly gets up, and Storm is up at the same time. They extend their arms at eachother, looking for a grapple. Booker reaches out the furthest and manages to grab Storm and pull him in and toss him over with an arm drag! Storm is back on his feet quickly and charges at Booker, but Booker ducks and hits a back body drop!
It might be enough for a pin and Booker drops down and even hooks the leg...
1.......
Kickout.
Booker continues to somewhat lay on "Cowboy" Storm though, and Storm tries to force him off but cant. Storm now goes to work, lying down with Booker on top still, and throws a fury of rights, mostly landing on the topp of Bookers head. Finally Booker rolls off and onto another area of the mat, aloowing Storm to slowly get up. Storm stalks Booker, walking is circle around him. Finally Booker gets up and before he even gains his footing, Storm irish whips him into the far right corner out of the six and leaves him there. After a moment Storm walks over too and mounts the first rope as Booker is groggy in the corner. Storm begins to reign down punches and the crowd boos.

Storm now throws an extra punch for good measure and the ref immediately gets in between, pushing Storm away. Storm argues with the ref now, mad the ref took him off. Booker is recovering though, and when Storm turns around, Booker delivers a hard kick to the midsection, bending Storm over, bounces off the northern rope, coming back to the centre of the ring where Storm is, jumps up and comes down with his right leg across the neck of Storm for the Scissors Kick, driving James Storm into the mat!
Booker goes for the pin........

Wow, what a match!

*Bookers music hits now and he immediately ecits the ring, no need to rub it in. Storm rolls around on the mat and Booker walks up the ramp, high fiving fans as we go back to ringside...*
Well there ya have it, Booker T picks up the win over Cowboy James Storm!
And what a match!
Match 5: The Angle Alliance(Kurt Angle and Tomko w/ AJ Styles)vs Kaz and Jay Lethal
*Angles music hits to a chorus of boos. Slowly he walks out in his wrestling gear, with an american flag draped over his back. As his music hits up, he hols the flag out and his blue and red pyro shoots up! Tomko and AJ Styles then joins him from the back and all 3 men walk down to the ring. In the ring they pace around and discuss strategy wit Tomko mashing his hands together waiting for their opponents......... "Ohh Yeahhhhhhhhh" is heard to a huge pop from the crowd. Jay Lethal comes out from the back, arms spread out as he twirls around on the stage. He walks down to the ring and slides in, ready to fight....... After a pause, Kaz's music hits and out comes the Champion. He stares right down te ramp at Angle, who stares right back at him! Kaz holds the TNA World Heavyweight Title up high, and even though he is TNA X Division Champ, he still doesnt have the belt, due to Angle stealing it last week...*
The match kicks off with Kaz going up against Tomko... Tomko goes on the offense early, stalking Kaz around the six sied ring. Kaz backs into a corner, but as he does, Tomko comes over, Tomko throws a punch, hitting Kaz, but Kaz is in his own corner on the far right. So he reaches bck and tags in Jay Lethal.Tomko doesnt notice though, and Lethal jumps up onto the top rope of the turnbuckle and then springboards off with a clothesline, taking out Tomko who was a few feet away from him! Lethal now quickly does a backflip from standing next to Tomko and lands down right across Tomko, and stays on him for a pin...
1......
2......
Kickout!
Lethal has to get off after a failed pin attempt, but when Tomko gets up, Lethal delivers a kick to the midsection. He tries to go for an enzuigiri kick to the head but as he goes for te kick, Tomko catches his leg and pulls it out from under Lethal. Tomko is in control now, but instead of attacking, he grabs Leethal by the leg and pulls him from the centre of the ring all the way to the far right corner where Angle is. Tomko leaves Lethal on the mat and then quickly drops an elbow on the middle of Lethals leg, and then tags in Angle. Angle comes in and immediately goes to work. he kicks Lethal in the mid section and that makes Jay lethal roll over on the mat onto his stomach. Angle now sits on his back and sets up for a submission hold. He locks in Camel Cluch, pulling back the chin and neck of Lethal, applying great pressure. They are ner the ropes, but still, lethal hasnt reached the ropes yet... He looks on the verge of tapping but Kaz runs in and stomps on Angle to break up the hold and gets a huge cheer. Tomko coems into the ring and tries to attack Kaz. Kaz returns to his corner and Lethal makes it over to tag him in. Now Kaz comes in and knocks down Angle with a dropkick. Tomko continues to have to be restrained by the ref.. Now AJ Styles, who is managing them, grabs the TNA X Divisio belt, the same belt Angle stole from kaz last week, and runs in and nails Kaz from behind with it, knocking him to the mat! Angle notices and slowly crawels over...... Tomko yells at the ref to look and Angle barley gets his hand on Kaz's chest...
1....
2......
3....
Pinfall!
Winners: Angle and Tomko w/ AJ Styles
They cheated!
But they won. And sometimes that happens in this business...
I cant believe it, while Tomko distrated the ref, AJ Styles used the X Division belt, Kaz's other championship, the very belt that Kurt Angle stole last week, and nailed Kaz with it, allowing Angle to pin him.....
*Angles music plays in the ring and AJ runs in, all excited. Jay Lethal goes down off the apron and Kaz rolls out of the ring and those two walk to the back together... Tomko comes in and helps AJ raise up Kurt Angle. They all raise hands in the ring as we go back to ringside........*
Wow... A competitive match, but its a shame to see it end like that.
And the irony is, the belt AJ used to help Kurt Angle and Tomko was the same belt Angle stole last week here on iMpact from Kaz! Now, you know that the belt Kurt rally wants is Kaz's TNA World Title. But it seems like hes also upset that an X Division wrestler can be World Champion, and is trying to prove a point of how wrong it is by stealing Kaz's second title, the X Division title!
Thats right Don! And as we saw earlier tonight, the number one contenders to the TNA World Tag Team Champion, Rellik and Black Reign had alot to say about LAX, incuding saying that they will be LAX's worst nightmare. Rellik and Reign will face LAX in over 2 weeks at Against All odds, but in the mean time, LAX will have a warm up match against the Motor City Machine Guns, Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley... Next!
Match 6: LAX(Homicide, Herandez w/ Salinas) vs Motor City Machine Guns(Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley)
Homicide starts out for LAX against Chris Sabin. Sabin waits patiently in the middle of the ring, scouting his competition and trying to decide what to do first. Homicide moves towards him and throws a hard punch to the face. Sabin ducks the next punch Homicide throws and get sbehind him. Sabin then throws an elbow to the back of Homcides head, temporarily stunning him. As Homicide is stunned Sabin jumps up and hits a dropkick to the back of Homicides head, knocking him into the ropes on the lower right side of the six sided ring. Sabin goes over to Homicide, which is the same corner where Sabin partner, Alex Shelley is. Sabn tags in Shelley now. Homicide is half in and half out of the ring, leaning over the ropes so Shelley climbs up the turnbuckle and then jumps down with a leg drop, landing across Homicides nexk on the outside part of the ropes! The crowd oves it and starts a "This is awesome" chant. Shelley is now on the outside of the ring s Homicide is still leaning over the middle ropes. Shelley throws a right and into Homicides face and then rolls into the ring. Shelley tags in Sabin now and Sabin picks up Homicide and irish whips him into the furthest left turnbuckle, which is where Homicides partner, Hernandez is. While Sabin goes to work with unches, Hernandez tags him self in by patting Homicide and comes into the ring. He clears house now, knocking Sabin down with an amazing punch to the head! Hernandez picks him up off the mat, with both arms and delivers a Scoop Slam by picking him up and slamming him right back down on his back on the mat.

Hernandez gets up and goes to his corner, tagging in Homicide. As Homicide gets in the ring and to the centre, Sabin is on his feet. they stare down for a second and then Homicide throws a punch. Sabin goes to throw a clothesline but Homicide ducks. As Sabin turns around, Homicide kicks him in the midsection. He picks Sabin up now and hols him upside down in piledriver position. He stalls for a second but then drops right down, hitting a perfect pilerdriver which drove Sabins head into the mat!
Homicide rolled over for the cover......

Homicide gets distracted by this now though and chases Shelley out of the ring. When he turns around, Sabin is back on his feet and irish whips Homicide into the top left turnbuckle....

Now Homicide moves his head back, avoiding the 8th punch. He looks like he has some strength left and before Chris Sabin can throw another punch, Homicide grabs him around the waist, stand up on the second rope where his feet were earlier and delivers a huge powerbomb off the second rope and to the mat!
The crowd is nuts and his prtner Hernandez is itching to get in there now. He leans over the rope looking for a tag but Homicide is too tired, he rolls over Sabin and goes for the pin.....

Pinfall!
Winners: LAX
Its over!
Wow Mike Tenay, what a powerbomb off the second rope!
It sure was Don, and LAX, the TNA World Heavyweight Champion come out on top tonight!
*LAX's rap music hits and Hernandez comes into the ring. He lifts up Homcide and holds his arm high. The ref hands them their belts and they take them. LAX now walks up the ramp as the crowd cheers them on...*
What a match. And keep in mind, that was a non title match but it was a good warmup for LAX with just over two weeks to go until Against All Odds, where they'll defend their TNA Tag Team Titles against the sadistic team of Black Reign and Rellik.
Well again, last week there was that brutal assault by Rellik and Reign, where afterwards they declared that if they werent given a Tag Team Title shot, theyd continue their violent attacks all over TNA.
Thats right Mike, so Jim Cornette had no choice but to grant them their wish, and earlier tonight, we heard from Rellik and Reign in that ring, and remember, Black reign said they are every bit as militant, and every bit as violent as LAX... And I believe them!
Well now though, we're going to hear from Kurt Angle in that ring. Keep in mind, after his confrontation with Kaz last week, he stole Kaz's X Division Title Belt, saying that if Kaz can be World Heavyweight Champion of TNA, he should be aloud to be in contention for Kaz's X Division title and the World Title. Of course though, Angle is not a registered member of the X Division, therefore not aloud to wrestle in that division, so to make a statement, he stole Kaz's X Division belt instead, in the hopes of making a statement, to get a title match, at either Kaz's X Division or TNA Heavyweight championship.
So lets see if he gives the belt back!
Kurt Angle Promo:
*Angles music hits to a chorus of boos. After a few moments, he emerges from the back, equipped with a pair of sunglasses and a high class tuxedo. His pyro shoots up above him as he looks confidently down the ramp, and then makes his way to the ring! In the ring, he pulls a mic out of his suit and the lights go up as he prepares to talk*
Angle: Listen up! Im Kurt Angle, and I dont take kindly to being cheated... I dont take kindly to being tricked... And I sure as hell dont take kindly to being disrespected!
*Crowd chants "You Suck"*
Angle: So I did something about it! You see, I think its absolutely cheap... CHEAP! What Jim Cornette and TNA Management has done... They say that Im not aloud to win an X Division title, because Im a heavyweight, but meanwhile, a little runt like Frankie Kazarian can go and punk out Christian and be the TNA World Heavyweight Champion? Its a disgrace! Its a disgrace that hes champion, and its a disgrace hes even considered a main eventer, all he is is a little runt! Hes not even in my class!
*Angle pauses now and whips off his glasses. He tosses them intot he crowd and then they boo louder again!*
Angle: So... You know what I did about it? I got my Angle Alliance, Styles and Tomko, to beat the living hell out of that runt, and I stole his X Division title!...... If he wants to call himself TNA World Heavyweight Champion, and think he can win that, then fine, Im taking his X Division title, and Im not giving it back!
*Suddenly TNA Management Director Jim Cornette comes running out from backstage. Hes dressed in a suit and holds a microphone as he walks down to the ring and into Angles face!*
Cornette: Well Ill be damned Kurt! But last time I checked, I made the decisions here in TNA, and Im the one who settles things! Now youve got a problem with Kaz? Ill take care of that, but Ill have you know, its fine for Kaz to be TNA World Heavyweight champion because theres no rule saying an X Division wrestler cant become TNA Heavyweight Champion!
*The crowd cheers*
Cornette: And Kaz fought for that title, and he won it from Christian, fair and square... But Ill have you know sonny, that TNA X Division belt IS NOT YOURS! I dont know what your trying to accomplish by stealing it from Kaz, but thats Kaz's and Im going to have to ask you hand it over now!
*Angle is furious. His face is red now and Cornette holds out his hand. The crowd chants "Angle sucks, Angle sucks" and Angle refuses to hand over the title*
Angle: Im not handing over anything Cornette!
Cornette: You bet your ass you are. That title belongs to Kaz, and Im going to have to take it now!
*Angle looks to the mat, and looks like hes deciding what to do... Cornette is waiting patiently and holds out his hand, waiting for Angle to hand him the belt..... Angle finally looks up and holds up the belt. He extends it over to Cornette and Cornette takes it in his hand now*
Cornette: Thank you Mr. Angle. You did the right---
*Before he can finish Cornette is clotheslined by Angle and falls down to the mat! The crowd is furious and boos loudly. Angle holds the mic and leans over Cornette*
Angle: Fine! Keep that freaking title! I never won it anyways. But Ill tell you what, ya that Is Kaz's title, and he can have it back now. But as far as the TNA World title, its a damn disgrace that he could be cha,mpion, hes a freaking X Division wrestler! And he hasnt seen the last of me!
*Angle throws down the mic. His music hits and he exits through the ropes and storms up the tunnel. Cornette is still in the ring and a few refs run out to help him to his feet...*
He just hit Jim Cornette, Don! I cant believe it!
Thats not a smart move on the part of Kurt Angle if you ask me. That could cost him any title oppurtunity he may have had!
Well, lets go through what happened here. Remember, last week, Kaz, our new TNA World Heavyweight Champion came to the ring to address the crowd, Angle interupted and was furious that an X Division wrestler could actually be TNA World Heavyweight Champion. So he insulted Kaz, calling him a runt and many other names numberous times before complaining that if Kaz can win the TNA Heavyweigt Belt, he should be able to be X Division Champion. But since he hasnt registered in the X Division, he isnt aloud so he got the help of AJ Styles and Tomko and attacked Kaz, and stole the X Division belt instead. But now tonight, after losing to Kaz and Jay Lethal earlier, he refused to hand back the X Division belt and apoligize tonight so Jim Cornette came out and forced him to. Angle decided to hit Cornette tonight as we just saw! But at least he handed over the X Division title that Cornette will return to Kaz.
But Im sure there'll be hell to pay for Angle after pushing down TNA Management Director Jim Cornette.
We have to take a quick break, but when we come back, Samoa Joe and Christian, two huge fan favorites, will go one on one!
Match 7: Samoa Joe vs Christian
Both men start off on opposite sides of the ring. Half the crowd chants "Christian, Christian" and the other half chants "Joe is gonna kill you!" Both men are fan favorites and stand there, soaking up the crowd. Finally they get going and read to grapple. circling eachother. Joe lunges towards Christian but Christian sidesteps him, gets behind him and pulls out Joes legs from under him. Christian now slides across the mat, over to the front of Joe and locks on a headlock as Joe is face down staring at the mat. He keeps it locked in now, applying tremendous pressure. Joe manages to fight his way back up to his feet though and uses all his strength to run towards the ropes. Christian cant hold on and falls to the mat... As Joe rebounds off the ropes and goes back towards Christian, he jumps in the air and comes down across Christian with an elbow drop. The crowd cheers for Joe now, but as Christian gets up rather quickly, the cheer for him. Both men are up and move towards eachother. They get in eachothers face and go nose-to-nose yelling and insulting eachother. Finally Christian pushes Joe to break the tension, but Joe two hand pushes him right back, sending Christian sitting on the mat. Joe now runs and dropkicks Christian in the face, to a huge pop and it knocks Christian flat on his back. Both guys are fan favorites but it looks like the crowd favors Joe right now.Christians face is shown and you can see his nose is bloodied and squished in! Joe goes for the cover....

Joe pulls him up and irish whips him into the turnbuckle on the top right. Samoa Joe runs over and jumps up in the corner, delivering a knee to the face of Christian! Christian is stunned there on his feet, Joe lifts him up to the top of the turnbuckle. The crowd senses whats coming and waits in anticipation! Joe gives Christian a hard shot in the ribs for good measure and then climbs up to the top of the turnbuckle as well... he hooks his arms over Christians, pauses for a moment and then suplexes him right off and down to the mat!
it hurt both men it looks like... Nobody is moving. Still no movements.... its nearing 10 seconds now and no movesments. Finally Joe makes a bit of a movement, begin to roll a little bit. He rolls over, and finally makes it to Christian and barely manages to get his arm over for a pin attempt...

Joe still looks hurt and is struggling to get energy. Christian is now moving thought and rolls over towards the turnbuckle. As Joe is picking up energy, Christian makes it to his feet and goes up the far right turnbuckle. He climbs to the top and waits for Joe to get up........ He goes for a missile dropkcik but Joe catches him! Immediately, he lands on Joes shoulders and Joe drops back, hitting a Samoan drop and crushing Christian into the mat!
Christians head had smashed right off the mat. Joe happeneds to land on top of him, and so he put in the effort to hook the leg for the pin......

Pinfall!
Winner: Samoa Joe
What a match! But Christian took some serious punishment!
He sure did, it really didnt seem like he got any offense, and at the end there, as he was going for the dropkick, Joe managed to counter and hit the Samoan drop for the pin!
But it looked like Christians head smashed off the mat pretty hard Don. He may be hurt. A great match nonetheless!
*Joes music is already playing and he is up on the ropes. The fans applaus and Joe walks over to Christian on the mat. He gives him a pat on the chest, signalling a good match and then leaves the ring as we go back to ringside...*
What a great show of respect there by the former champ Samoa Joe.
Well both those guys put on a good match, and you can see Joe respected Christian and the fight he put up.
Well now, Robert Roode is supposed to be out here now, and lets show you what went down last week here on iMpact!
*Video of last week airs. It shows Roode coming out and explaining he was going to reform Roode Inc. It then showed him announce the X Division was going to sign with him as the whole division would join Roode Inc. It then showed Jay Lethal coming out and declining the offer on behalf of the X Division, and saying they would not join Roode Inc!*
Well certainly that was an interesting turn of events last week. Roode thought he would reform Roode Inc. with the help of the X Division, who he thought he signed, but Blak Machismo Hay Lethal came out and informed him that wasnt the case. But Roode promises he has some big news for us tonight, so lets go to the ring, where the very arrogant Robert Roode is standing by!
Robert Roode Inc Promo:
Roode: Alright listen up! I dont take to kindly to what happened last week here at the end on iMpact! I can gurantee you I had an agreement with a number of X Division wrestlers that would see me acquire them as an official part of Robert Roode Incorporated!
*He pulls out a piece of paper from his suit now, similar to the one fromlast week*
Roode: Now, this all happens and Im ready to make a deal, only to have some ladies man wannabe like Jay Lethal come out here and tell me that the X Division isnt signing with me? Well thats alright. Ill deal with Jay Lethal another time, because trust me, Black Machismo will learn not to mess with Robert Roode or his clients! But in the meantime, Ive struck up 2 new deals with clients that will see Roode Inc rise up to the top! Now without further---
*Ohh Yeahhhh is heard through the arena, and the crowd gets to their feet. Out comes Black machismo Jay Lethal, who gets a standing ovation.*
Lethal: Are you kidding me? Your gonna make me pay dog? I dont think so. And you like to come out here and say that you had an agreement with the X Division last week, and that we bailed on you? I dont think so... The way I see it, we told you no all along, you just thought we were gonna join Roode Inc. But you thought wrong, Ohh yeahhhhh!
*Roode takes off his suit jacket now and looks like hes ready for a fight...*
Roode: You wanna go punk?
Lethal: Ohh Yeahhhhhhh
*Lethal all of a sudden winds back and lands a punch right on the jaw of Robert Roode, knocking him to the mat! Lethal leaves the ring and Roode grabs his jaw. Roode stands up and is furious, leaning over the ropes, looking to the floor and yelling at Jay lethal...*
Lethal: I told you before! The X Division aint joining you man. So consider it closed, the X Division will not be joing Robert Roode Inc!
*Lethal turns around and walks up the ramp now, and then through the tunnel to the back. In the ring Roode is now back in the centre holding his mic...*
Roode: Alright... Fine... Just a little set back. But as I said, I have two more recruits, so without further ado, please welcome my first recruite.... The Instant Classic... CHRISTIAN!
*Roode signals to the entrance tunnel and sure enough, Christians music hits and he comes out to the top of the ramp. The fans are stunned and Christian walks down to the ring and then is handed a mic from the ring announcer*
Roode: Welcome my friend!
Christian: Robert Roode eh...? I dont have the slightest clue as to what your talking about!
Roode: Come on, I offered you a contract... Are you with me or not?
Christian: Are you really this pathetic? Youd actually call me a recruit? The only thing I remember is you coming up to me backstage, and practically begging me to join Roode Inc.
Roode: And you said yes!! Dammit, you know it, I know it, you agreed to join roode Inc! Now sign my contract!
*Roode holds out a pen in one hand and a contract in the other....*
Roode: Are you signing this or not Cage?
Christian: Look. I told you backstage that I dont know. And Im telling you now, I dont know.
Roode: Make up your mind Cage!
Christian: I said... Ill tell you.. Next week!
*Christian leaves the ring and walks down the stairs. No music plays but he walks to the back and high fives a few fans on the way up*
Roode: Hold on.. Hold on, Christian...
*Christian turns back around and looks towards Roode in the ring...*
Roode: Do you remember what I said earlier... When I said I had more than one recruit? Well...
*He smirks now*
Roode: Heres what you can expect, if you decide not to join Roode Inc.... Meet the newest members.. Of Roode Inc!
*Suddenly Christian is pushed from behind and falls to the floor. Whoever attacked him, two guys, were leaning over Christian, getting in his face. They finally looked up towards the camera and it was... CRYME TYME! Christian was left layd out on the ramp and Cryme Tyme ran down to the ring now and slid in and raised hands with Robert Roode.*
Shad: Yo Robert.. Yo Robert. It makes me proud to say that the newest members of Roode Inc are here! And folks, you can refer to your new residents as Cryme Tyme!
JTG: And its a pleasure to be here with you Robbie Roode! Together, we're gonna do one thing and one thing only and thats make that MONEY, MONEY, YEAH YEAH... THAT MONEY, MONEY, YEAH YEAH!
*Roode now joins in and so does Shad... They one by one exit the ring now and go up the bad-guys entrance ramp one after the other chanting MONEY, MONEY, YEAH YEAH, THAT MONEY, MONEY YEAH YEAH!... The crowd boos trough the whole thing. Finally once the new Roode Inc leaves the fans continue to chant "You suck, You suck"*
I cant believe what we just saw... Thats Cryme Tyme Don!
It sure is and it seems tha finally Robert Roode has found some members to join Roode.Inc>
An you know not alot of people like making money andy more than these three, Robert Roode has made a career making money, and Cryme Tyme made a living stealing money!
And this is after the X Division yet again turned down Robert Roode, and then Christian Cage, he was invited but said he was undecided.
And thats where Cryme Tyme came out and attacked him from behind. But we now know that Robert Roode has now found his first two members for Roode Inc.
But Mike, lets not forget, up next is something that is all seriousness.
Thats right Don, The legend, The Icon, Sting, his career is on the line tonight again Rhino.
And this all started last week here on iMpact, the two of theme went one on on,e but Rhino made fairly quick fwork of Sting, spearing and pinning him in under 5 minutes... Then Rhino decided to call out Sting, saying it was time for him to "hang em up" and retire... Saying that the reason he wasnt on tv for nearly two months, is because of guys like Sting, who are well passed their prime but still wrestle, and he insisted that The Icon should retire...
Will that happen tonight, I hope not, but we'll find out... Next!
Match 8: Stings Career On The Line: Sting vs Rhino
*Rhino is already in the ring now, and we await "The Icon"... Finally his music hits and out he comes, baseball bat in hand. Sting stands on the stage, looking around the crowd for a bit and then begins to walk down the ram. He slides into the ring and drops his baseball bat on the floor. The ref backs him into his corner, Sting removes his trenhcoat and the bell is rung...*
Both men start out sizing eachother up. As they move in close to eachother, ready to grapple, they are very cautious. Sting tries to catch Rhino off guard and go for a grapple but Rhino saw at the last second and jumped back, staying away from Sting.Sting again moved in towards him and Rhino was very careful and began to back up. Sting lunged forwards for a grapple but as he came, Rhino threw a wild right hand and nailed Sting on the side of the head. Without wasting any time he grabbed Sting by the torso and with all his power, tossed him into the top right turnbuckle. Sting was groggy and Rhino pulled back his hand and then forced it at Sting with a nasty chop! Rhino landed another chop, landing right across the chest, and leaving a red mark on Stings torso. Rhino finally hit one more chop and then backed up to the centre of the ring and then charged at Sting, and drove his knee right into the gut of Sting, making him slump down onto the mat ina seated postion up against the turnbuckle. Rhino paced himself at the other side of the ring, in spear position and waiting. Sting didnt move for about 10 seconds but then finally began to move. Rhino began stomping the mat, getting impatient waiting to hit a speat. Sting finally pulled himself up and then Rhino charger, going for the gore, but Sting sidestepped him and Rhino went shoulder first into the ring post! The fans cheered and this gave Sting a moment to catch his breath... As Rhino finally recovered Sting nailed him with a huge chop, stunning him and then locked into a grapple with him. They fought for position now, trying to outmuscle the other... Neither man was able to get the upped hand so Sting used his veteran expierience and switched to get behind his opponent Rhino. he followed it up with a belly to back suplex that crumpled Rhinos neck on the mat. Sting gave his signature "wooh: and got ready for what was next. He went into the ropes, rebounded off and went towards Rhino, jumped in the air and came down across him with his stomach for the Stinger Splash! Sting goes for a cover...

Kickout from a long 2 count...
Sting got back up and attempted to pull Rhino up to his feet. He got Rhino to his knees but then Rhino came to and pulled Stings legs out from under him. Sting was on his back now and Rhino got to his feet. Sting didnt take long to get up and when he did, he got right in the face of Rhino, mouthing off to him and Rhino yelled right back. Sting threw a punch but Rhino blocked it with his own arm and managed to lock on a sleeper headlock on Sting... The fans clapped their hands, trying to get Sting the will to fight back... Rhino had it locked in though and showed no signs of stopping. Sting finally looked like he was mounting some power after spending half a minute in the headlock. His arms began to show fight as he raised them up and then he swung them back wildly, crashing his arms right into the ribs of Rhino! Rhino had some pain on his face and Sting could tell he had some momentum now... He swung his arms back again, driving his elbow into the ribs of Rhino, and this was enough to break the hold and get free of the headlock. Sting hit Rhino with another wild chop and then went to work with a powerful attack. Punch, punch, punch, every hit was landing right on the side of Rhinos head. Rino tried to retaliate but missed and Sting scooped him up, put him on his shoulders and dropped back with a Samoan Drop, making Rhino take alot more impact on his ribs...
Sting went for the pin.......

Kickout!
Sting pulled him up by the hair and forced him over to the bottom left corner and smashed him head first into the turnbuckle. And another time for good measure! The crowd was clearly in Stings favor and Sting felt the need to do it once more... He pulled Rhinos head back but then Rhino swung and nailed Sting in the gut with a hard elbow, stopping the arrempt. Rhino now smashed Sting head first into the turnbuckle and Sting bounced off and fell to the mat. Rhino was intense now and walked over, stepping on the leg of Sting. Sting grabbed his leg in pain, but not for long, as Rhino rolled Sting over onto his stomach, and sat on his back, and pulled up on the legs, putting on a Boston Crab submission hold! Sting looked like he might tap but was able to hang on for now. Rhino still had the hold on but Sting was staying in there, refusing to tap. He crawled evevr so slowly now towards the ropes and outstretched his arm, attempting to grab it. It was so close he could almost feel it, jus a fingertip away. Rhino finally put on more pressure though and pulled up even harder on the Boston Crab! Sting screamed in pain but Rhino wouldnt let go... Finally Sting barely managed to touch the rope, but he did, and Rhino had to break the hold. Rhino released the hold but immediatelty stepped dwn on the left leg of Sting, applying pressure. After 5 seconds he had to get off though to avoid the DQ, but affter a breif stop he stepped ontop of Stings leg again! Rhino had that viscious look in his eye now and made a viscious stomp onto the same leg again...And again. Sting was in obvious pain, but as Rhino went for another stomp, Sting managed to trip him with his leg and Rhino dropped to the mat as well.
While they were both on the ground they traded chops, attempting to get the better of eachother but both had trouble connecting. Sting only had to roll over to be ontop of Rhino for a pin...

Kickout!
Rhino was the first to get up and waited fo rSting. Sting got up and was extremely shaky on his feet... Rhino went for an irish whip but Sting wouldnt budge and reversed the Irish Whip, sending Rhino into the right side corner instead. "Whooooooo" he yelled and then ran towards the corner, leaped in the air and came down across Rhino for the Sting Splash!
Rhino fell to the mat with Sting landing ontop of him which counted as a pin attempt...

*Stings music is playing now and he climbs onto the far right ringpost, then hclimbs onto the turnbuckle in the top right corner and then top left... He climbs up on all six of the turnbuckle of the ring and then finally lets the ref raise his arm! GORE! GORE! From behind, that viscious Rhino hit a huge Gore Spear on Sting, riving him to the mat! The ref holds Rhino back now, ad Rhino is seething. Rhino steps out of the ring with Sting crippled on the mat. But he grabs a chair while hes on the outside of the ring...,, Suddenly hes attacked though.. ITS ABYSS! Abyss nailed Rhino with a chair from behind, seemingly out of nowhere, and Rhino dropped to the floor on the outside. The crowd was stunned and Rhino was motionless on the outside. Abyss slid into the ring, but the ref tried to hold him back. Finally he pushed the ref out of the way, bent down next to Sting and pulled him up by the arm. The fans applauded and Abyss raised Stings hand, the man he just saved. The camera begins to fade out and then to black... End Show*
