Jeremy Borash & Kevin Nash: Too many G.D. backstage segments are killing the show as usual. Kevin Nash said that Jim Cornette owed him a favour, and that is why he has a Four Ways to Glory Qualifying Match tonight. Nash was trying to track down Samoa Joe, but Joe was off hunting for Sting. Nash said he would beat Kurt Angle tonight so he can watch Joe’s back at No Surrender. Nash added that if Joe isn’t focused, he (Nash) may walk out of No Surrender as the World champion.
FOUR WAYS TO GLORY QUALIFYING MATCH
Kurt Angle defeated Kevin Nash: TNA World champion Samoa Joe joined Mike Tenay & Don West on commentary for the match. For some unknown reason that makes no sense, Kevin Nash slapped Samoa Joe late in the match and told him to watch what he’s doing to Kurt Angle. Joe gets upset and had to be held back by the referee, and this allowed Kurt Angle to low-blow Kevin Nash and hit the Angle-slam for the win. How come every time Nash loses, it’s because of a low-blow? After the match, Joe & Nash argue, as Joe told Nash to practice what he preaches.

Sting said when he was Joe’s age working with Ric Flair, that Flair believed in him – and now Sting believes in Samoa Joe. Sting said that A.J. Styles used to call him Mr. Sting, but now he thinks Sting owes him something – but Sting doesn’t owe anybody anything! Sting said that Styles owes HIM for paving the way for him to be a professional wrestler.

Styles made his way to the ring to confront Sting about attacking him at Hard Justice. Sting said he wanted to help A.J. Styles, but he (Styles) took it one step too far with Kurt Angle at Hard Justice. Sting gave his bat to A.J. and turned his back, telling him to do what he has to do, but Styles refused.
