AJ Styles vs. Consequences Creed

They shake to begin and here we go. Go behind and takedown by AJ. Mat work and reversals follow as we see Kurt Angle sitting outside in the parking lot. The mat work continues, Creed on control as he works the arm. AJ kips up and gets the reversal and then into a headlock takedown. Off the ropes, and AJ with a cradle for 2. Counters and a jackknife for 2 by Creed. Back elbow to AJ, off the ropes and AL levels Creed with the dropkick. Creed avoids a plancha, reversal, and a knee by AJ and then eats a boot. Rolling thunder by Creed gets 2. Rights by Creed as he works AJ over, Creed to the apron and as he gets to the top AJ catches him, but Creed escapes, rights, dropdown into the split and back up and levels AJ with a right and covers for 2. They trade shots, Creed sloppily rolls through and AJ just slams him down. AJ misses the corner splash, go behind by Creed but AJ reverses and then gets the PELE. Styles Clash and that is all.

Winner: AJ Styles @ 4:40 via pin

-JB is here and is calling for AJ. JB says Kurt is waiting for Karen outside and AJ sprints to the back.


-We see security and officials trying to separate AJ, Karen and Kurt. AJ says he will make sure Karen is safe, but she says she is here to do her job, whatever that is.

-Ray has the mic and says one punk down, one to go. Last week Rhino almost got his neck broken, and he hopes it is broken. Tonight, for Christian, they will stretcher you out back to your house. Everyone at home, don't got to the fridge or make love to your ugly wife, because he says you will see something that you have never seen in a wrestling ring before. Tonight he makes history, as it will be the last night of Christian's wrestling career.

Brother Ray vs. Christian Cage

Cage keeps looking for Devon, who is not out there. Chops by Cage and then takes a HUGE backdrop. Corner charge by Ray misses, Cage up top and gets a big cross body. Back up top again and Ray over to stop that. Chops, right and Ray up with Cage…Cage fights him off and bites him and nocks him off. FROG SPLASH connects for 2. Devine is out with the kendo stick, Cage fights him off and then Ray snags him up for a back suplex. No DQ huh? Ray with a kendo stick shot and there is the DQ.

Winner: Christian Cage @ 2:25 via DQ

-Devon and Tomko are out with what looks like a giant glass coffee table! They set it up, Ray on the second rope and SUPER BOMB TO CAGE THORUGH THE GLASS TABLE! The heels celebrate as Christian gets medical attention. We also get replays, nice. Eric Young and Kaz are out now, where were they 5-minute ago?


-Back from commercial as we get more replays and subdued voices.

-TO THE BACK as JB is with Kevin Nash. JB makes a Diesel joke and Nash says he has tried to help Joe but Joe thinks that there is another motive behind it. Nash wants to prove who is running the show. JB says Nash has never volunteered to help people. Joe jokes about Nash's bad knees and that Nash is watching SkinA-Max. Nash says he has earned his warrior stripes, and asks what he should be doing. JUDO GENE REFERENCE! Nash says he is conserving energy and Joe says Booker is getting ready to kick Nash's ass. Nash says it is all-mental, and he is preparing. Joe says he may be out there watching, and maybe Nash will teach him something. Watch those knees buddy.

-Kong, Saeed and JB come out for the next KONG CHALLENGE! JB says it is time again for the challenge. He asks for volunteers, and we see young Taylor in the crowd again.

-Back from commercial and JB they selected the opponent.

Awesome Kong's $25,000 Challenge: Awesome Kong vs. Danielle

Danielle hits Kong, which angers her and she throws her down and lays the boots into her. To the floor, and Danielle is slammed into the steps. Chops by Kong, Danielle tossed to the railing and we see Taylor there talking shit to Kong. Kong shoves her down and then drags Danielle around, more chops and grabs her by the legs and slams her into the barricade. Bitch slap by Kong and back into the ring we go. KONG BOMB and that is all. Danielle didn't want to go up for that.

Winner: Awesome Kong @ 1:55 via pin

-Kong kicks her to the floor and celebrates. She stares down Taylor and calls her on and Taylor rushes in and they brawl! She has to fight off Saeed as well and they continue to brawl until security breaks them up. Jim Cornette is out and says Taylor cannot do things this way. She begs for a chance, and then asks if she can beat Saeed for another shot? Cornette says they will discuss it and they leave.

-We get a personality profile on Angelina Love. Scott D'Amore is back for comments as is Gail Kim. This is another good piece, like last week's one on Gail.


-Tenay and West discuss the rest of the show as we see Moose collecting weapons backstage for her match later tonight.

-Frank Trigg stops the ring announcing to come to the ring. He calls out AJ and says last week there was a misunderstanding. He is bothered that AJ attacked him from behind, and in Trigg's world he looks a man in the eye before he knocks him out. He says AJ needs to bring his candy ass out to the ring, or maybe Karen can fight the battle for him. We see AJ get pissed in the locker room and he is going to take care of business. Trigg asks the announcers where their prize boy is. AJ makes his way out to the ring and we see a split screen with Kurt harassing Karen. The Beautiful People are there as well. It hits the big screen as Trigg calls AJ stupid. The Beautiful People beat Karen down and brownbag her.


-Booker has apparently remodeled Joe's old locker room.

-The full Team International is brought out for the crowd. (Doug Williams, Tyson Dux, Alex Kozlov and Daivari.)

-Team TNA is also announced. (Kaz, Sabin, Shelley and Curry Man.)

-TO THE BACK as Lauren is with Lethal and Val. Lethal says he is pissed off because he and Dutt were friends. They were like family. Lethal says Dutt should have been a man instead of ruining the wedding. Val is also upset, and said it will take a long time to get over this and she wants to postpone the wedding for a while. She says she needs time, but Lethal doesn't want to wait.

SAVE SOCAL VAL
The Guru Sonjay Dutt and many children come out to the ring, and solicit collections! MINI GURUS! The Guru has a set in the ring even, he's moving up. The children turn in their collections and surround the ring. He sits on his prayer mat and thanks all the GURU-ITES for their help with the Save Val Foundation. Tonight is all about peace and love, as they pray that the shackles Jay Lethal has placed on Val will be broken, because she is in love with him. He asks them all to stand and pray with him.

Val makes her way out and she is PISSED at him. Lethal is out and they BRAWL! He chokes out Dutt with his own shirt. Dutt battles back and then misses a spear and runs into one of the giant urns. Lethal goes up top but Dutt escapes with the GURU-ITES!


-TO THE BACK and Booker T s ready to show us HIS new locker room. He makes JB take his shoes off and we see the new pimped out locker room. Booker has sushi in there and there is a picture of Booker and Muhammad Ali in there. Booker now has a PIMP ASS ROBE ON! He wanted JB here so he could explain things. Things should have been this way since the day one. He is first class all the way, because of him TNA is now on the global map. Ratings and buy rates are up (HA) and nothing will change, just like the jealousy will never change. Nash is jealous because once he was on top and Booker wasn't, but it has now changed and Nash is beneath him. He will prove this tonight. He will prove to Nash that he is the best, he will BUST HIS PUNK ASS! He excuses JB.


-We get another Rough Cuts segment with Matt Morgan. More basketball talk and Tough Enough.

-Tomko tells Angle to get in the game, while JB tells him he needs to back off of Karen. Kurt says she embarrassed him, while JB says no one actually saw Karen and AJ do anything wrong. 3D are now here, and say he needs to snap out of it. 3D says they don't know how he did Karen in the first place. DAMN. They say he deserves better. Kurt says it is hard to meet people, and Ray and Devon say they have numbers of hot chicks. Playmates, movie stars; 9's and 10's. Ray says they will set Kurt up on some blind dates next week, and he agrees to it. Kurt makes says no fat chicks, he knows about Devon's past. Ray says they only care about Kurt's happiness.
