BACKSTAGE SEGMENT
Jeremy Borash & Booker T & Sharmell & Shane Sewell: Booker T asked Shane Sewell to take a seat next to him and relax. Booker T said last week Sewell did something totally out of order when he put his hands on the TNA Legend’s champion. Booker T said that was grounds for an ass whoopin’! Sharmell calmed Booker down, and he said he wanted to talk some business. Booker T said Sewell will be refereeing his match tonight, and offered him a spot in the Main Event Mafia as someone to clean up their messes. I guess they want a butler.
IN THE RING
The Main Event Mafia (Kurt Angle & Sting & Scott Steiner) + Jim Cornette: Kurt Angle said justice will prevail tonight starting with Petey Williams and ending with A.J. Styles. Angle threatened Williams and told Styles that payback is a b*tch! Angle said that the Mafia would put Styles out permanently. Angle asked who died and gave Team 3-D the power to make pay-per-view matches? Angle told Team 3-D to take their challenges and stick them up their fat asses! Sting stepped in and took exception to Angle saying who he can and cannot wrestle. TNA Management Jim Cornette came out to the stage and booked Sting vs. Brother Ray vs. Kurt Angle vs. Brother Devon for the TNA World Heavyweight title at Against All Odds! Cornette said the best way to win a fourway is to divide and conquer, with two guys teaming up and one of them sacrificing themselves. Cornette wondered if Angle would be willing to sacrifice himself for Sting’s TNA World title..

INTERVIEW VIA SATTELITE
Mike Tenay & Don West + Team 3-D (Brothers Ray & Devon): Team 3-D came through via sattelite with their newly won IWGP Tag Team titles in Japan at the Tokyo Dome.

TAG TEAM ELIMINATION MATCH
The Main Event Mafia (Scott Steiner & Booker T w/Sharmell) defeated Petey Williams & Eric Young: Eric Young as eliminated first, and the Mafia set their sights on punishing Petey Williams.

Morgan said their problems were all his (Matt’s) fault and apologized to Abyss. Morgan said they lost their title-shot, but suggested they settle for Beer Money’s blood tonight. Abyss hugged Morgan and suggested that they start going to therapy together. Morgan was happy to agree to those terms.

Lauren was like “what the?” Abyss picked her up and spun her around and around and around!

Kurt Angle (Main Event Mafia) defeated A.J. Styles (The TNA Frontline): The match ended with Kurt Angle putting A.J. Styles through the table with an Angle Slam in the middle of the ring… After the match, Angle stomped Styles’ ankle and continued to assault him!
