We now get to see footage of Bully Ray’s meeting with Dixie Carter at the TNA offices from earlier today. Ray was tired of waiting, and barges into the office. He says that there is no one in wrestling that likes Dixie. The employees don’t like her, the wrestlers don’t like her, the fans actually despise her. Ray has never liked her, but also knows that Dixie never liked him because she couldn’t control him. Dixie went to his home and tried to buy him off at Lockdown. This thing is edited oddly, it keeps jumping, which is distracting. Anyway, Ray was talking to “Dixie,” who never turned around, so he was cutting a promo on a chair. Ray says she doesn’t have the respect of anyone, and that Dixie is a nobody in his industry. No one was in the chair the whole time, because it was a set up for Bobby Roode to attack Ray and leave him laying. Roode was not happy about this, noting that Ray screwed the wrong man. Roode admits that he invited Ray here, not Dixie. “SURPRISE!”
Magnus asks if Abyss is ready, and Abyss says he has something special for Joe and MVP tonight. Thumbtacks.
