Dixie Carter came out to the ring and spoke about how Bobby Roode had now gone too far after his actions at Victory Road, and was about to announce the actions she was going to take against the World Champion until Sting then joined her. 'Stinger' explained that he believed that firing Roode would be giving him the easy way out, and also claimed that his role as GM of Impact Wrestling just wasn't working for him so he'd made the decision to take some time off and come back as a full time wrestler. I personally much preferred Sting in the role of GM of Impact as apposed to active wrestler.
He went on to announce Hulk Hogan as his successor as General Manager, someone who he humorously claimed could "take the company to the top," maybe he was talking about a different Hogan?
A Fatal Four Way between Austin Aries (c), Zema Ion, Kid Kash and Anthony Nese for the X Division Championship ended in a no contest after Bully Ray ran in and attacked all four men. Up until that point the match up had been quite exciting, with plenty of nice aerial attacks from all four participants.
Eric Young and ODB (c) defeated Rosita and Sarita to defend their TNA Knockout Tag Team Titles in an average contest. EY performed his usual comedy routine while the female performers put in an okay effort. I personally wouldn't have minded seeing Rosita and Sarita as the champs, I feel they have a lot more to show regarding their in ring ability then they are currently.
Backstage Matt Morgan attacked his former tag partner Crimson after his abandonment at Victory Road during their match up for the titles. I really hope this feud will be short lived.
James Storm vented off in the ring, telling us things that bothered him. He went on to then claim that at Lockdown he will be victorious in his Steel Cage match with Roode and walk out the World Champion and then decided to call out the man himself.
But instead of Roode making his way out, his Legal Adviser William Kelly did and explained that the World Champion will be remaining in his home in Canada until further notice dut to "an unsafe working environment." He added that Christopher Daniels and Kazarian had been in contact and wanted to face Storm, so given the choice 'The Cowboy' decided to fight both of them on Impact. The number one contender decided to send a message back to Roode in the form of a Last Call Superkick to Mr. Kelly, much to the crowds delight.
Kurt Angle's 3-Minute Challenge versus Garrett Bischoff ended in a disqualification after Gunner ran in and they both attacked Garrett. The bout itself had been surprisingly heated, and Bischoff did look a bit more competent in-between the ropes, although he clearly still has a fair bit to work on. The beat down was soon halted after Jeff Hardy raced in to Garrett's aid.
Samoa Joe and Magnus (c) defeated Hernandez and Anarquia to defend the TNA Tag Team Titles. The contest started off rather averagely but fortunately picked up in quality towards the end as Joe got back into some nice action after an oddly mediocre start to the match for him.
James Storm defeated Kazarian and Christopher Daniels in a fairly short and disappointing Handicap Match. Don't get me wrong it wasn't bad, it was just considering the talent involved I expected a lot more from the bout, and this really didn't do any favours for Kaz or the 'Fallen Angel'.
Sting tried to convince Dixie Carter in the ring that Hogan could be trusted since he cut Eric Bischoff out of his life after Bound For Glory last year. Carter accepted Sting's choice of successor and out came 'The Hulkster'. The fans in attendance certainly seemed pleased with the choice, but then most TNA fans are easily impressed.
