The Main Event Mafia (Kurt Angle & Scott Steiner & Kevin Nash w/Jenna Morasca & Booker T w/Sharmell) + Samoa Joe + Mick Foley: Kurt Angle is growing out his hair with a beard to look more Mafia-like. Angle introduced himself as the NEW TNA World champion, and then introduced the newest member of the Mafia, Samoa Joe! Samoa Joe came out and hugged all the Mafia guys. Angle said it was a masterpiece orchestrated by him. Angle said Joe’s price was a little steep, but when Jenna Morasca invested her millions in the Main Event Mafia they could afford him. Angle said they staged Joe taking out everybody in the Mafia week after week to advance the plan – praising the Mafia guys for taking one for the team. Angle said he forgot to tell Sting, and hoped he could forgive him – adding “what you didn’t know, didn’t hurt you.” Mick Foley came out next and said Angle didn’t owe him an explanation, but he might owe Sting an explanation, and Joe might owe A.J. (Styles) an explanation. Foley did say Angle owed him a rematch at Victory Road. Angle talked about Foley crying at the end of Slammiversary. Angle said Foley can sign all the contracts, but he (Angle) has the power. Angle said it was in his contract that he gets to choose his opponents.

Angle said it was his night to celebrate, but if Foley wants something from the Mafia then he’ll have to give something back. Angle said they should go to the back and have a few drinks and work out an agreement. Foley grinned for a moment.

Styles scolded Joe for “doing it for the money” and the fans chanted “you sold out!” Styles said they had a plan to do whatever it took so one of them left Slammiversary with the World title.

IN THE RING
Sting & The Main Event Mafia (Kurt Angle & Kevin Nash & Booker T & Scott Steiner & Samoa Joe & Matt Morgan): Sting said he expected this from Kurt Angle but not from Booker, Kevin, and Scotty. Sting said it was because of punks like Samoa Joe that they started the Mafia to begin with. Sting said Angle brought Joe in behind is back, and wondered what else he doesn’t know. Sting asked if Angle brought in Matt Morgan to sick him too. Angle said Morgan just wanted to prove himself to get in the Mafia, and he had nothing to do with it. Morgan admitted that Kurt didn’t have a little to do with it, he had everything to do with it. Sting said he really wasn’t surprised at Booker T & Scott Steiner, but really expected more from Kevin Nash. Nash said when Angle didn’t want Sting in the Mafia, he stuck up for Sting. Nash said when Sting talked about respect and dignity, he believed in that. Nash said when Kurt wanted Morgan to take Sting out, he thought it was a pretty good idea. Sting asked WHY? Nash said Sting’s plan wasn’t working, and Kurt has the belt. Nash said he would love to be Sting’s friend, but he’s not going to fight the rest of the Mafia. Sting said Nash’s son wanted to learn about respect and he wanted to learn it from his father. This segment is going on way too long. Sting gave Nash a baseball bat and turned his back. Nash teased hitting the Mafia, but went after Sting. However Sting pulled out a second back and whacked Nash, then went after the Mafia. Joe picked up the bat and smashed Sting in the GUT. The entire Main Event Mafia proceeded to destroy Sting in the middle of the six sided ring.
