AJ qualifies for the KOTM while elsewhere Angle and Joe play, “who can cripple who first!”
TNA Impact Begins…NOW!
-We get a video recap of last week's show.
-Tenay and West welcome us to the show.
-Jim Cornette is in the ring. He discusses that Angle and Joe have qualified for the KOTM match at Slammiversary. Tonight JJ vs. AJ was to take place, but Jeff cannot be here due to some very serious family issues. Cornette supports him and he gets a nice round of applause. Cornette now has to make a decision, and as he says that Christian Cage, AJ Styles and Tomko make their way out to the ring. Cage says there is a problem. He says if AJ forfeited, he would throw a party and let JJ go on. Well, they are going to have a party now. Cage says to raise AJ's hand in victory. Cage also says the way Cornette does business is a joke. Cage is onto his game, and he knows Cornette wanted to make it 5 on 1 to screw him, and well, you couldn't beat him! Then you made Tomko and I have a tag match last week and now I still don't know my opponent. This is MY show Cornette. Cornette doesn't like that and says he will do better. He was going to let AJ move on…BUT…I want to do the right thing and I won't do that now. I am thinking that the fans need to see a match. So since you showed me the error of my ways, AJ has to wrestle for his chance, against…TOMKO~! Tomko smiles as AJ blows a gasket. Cage demands to know his opponent, and Cornette says to take care of his little Coalition.
-JB is backstage and people are looking to jump to TNA, and if you want to know whom, get the text service. BLOW ME. Christopher Daniels joins us. He went to Sting for enlightenment, and the strength of his convictions are too much for Sting. You have to embrace fate or be consumes by it. I have made my choice, Sting, make your choice.
-Leticia is with Eric Young. Roode is ruining his life. Cornette is here and explains the problem with Roode and he appears. He says Eric should have answered his phone and slaps him. Cornette says to stop. At Slammiversary, if Roode wins he can do what ever. But if Young wins, he is free. Roode agrees and it is on. Roode promises to embarrass hi, because it pays to be Roode. Cornette says Eric has the chance and he should go out and win. Backlund is here. He passed his tests and he wants Alex Shelley at Slammiversary. Cornette says he is almost 60 and Backlund flips. Cornette says to get a release and he'll get his match.
-Rhino makes his way out for his match.
-Sting attacks Daniels before the match can begin. They brawl and Sting has a chair and lays out Daniels with it. In the ring and Sting tosses Daniels back to the floor. They brawl into the crowd as the crowd eats it up. Sting rakes the eyes and slams Daniels into the wall. He does it again. Daniels tries to crawl away and they brawl to the back. Sting now slams Daniels into a safety railing. Sting has a bat, slams Daniels to a wall and levels him with the bat. Sting leaves him laying and leaves.
-Rhino is in the ring. He came out for a fight. Sting beat him to it, and he wants to earn his pay. He tosses out an Extreme challenge, in HIS ring.
-The LAX music hits and they come out. Konnan has a mic and says that for a long time TNA has been against LAX. They tried to steal our titles and the Dudleyz got 1000 matches and stole their titles. Rhino got in their business last week, and LAX is the nastiest in wrestling, so they will answer his challenge. He sees Hector Guerrero and says he sold out. Your washed up man. Will you stick your tail between your legs like a typical Guerrero or man up? Hector comes to the ring and starts to take his jacket off
