-We start things off with a video package highlighting Mr. Anderson.
-And here he comes. Anderson makes his way to the ring with a chair. He introduces the leader of the creatures of the night, Jeffrey Nero Hardy. And here he comes. Anderson says that last week, he hit him in the back with a chair from behind when he wasn't looking. He didn't do it on purpose though. Of course he didn't. He says if he did do it on purpose, he'd tell him about it. Do you know why? Because he's an asshole. In fact, he thinks that the world would be a better place if there were more assholes in it. The Impact Zone is one of the greatest places on Earth because it is filled with assholes. Anderson says he has a solution. They have a match tonight. Anderson's going to bring the chair with him to the ring. If he usess it, he'll know that he has a problem with him. If Hardy uses it on him, he might have had it coming, but he'll know that he (Anderson) has a problem with him. Anderson walks off and Hardy claps while looking confused.
-Styles is in the back. He says he's disappointed with himself. He has to prove himself by wrestling Kazarian. He's going to tear him apart and hopes Flair is happy with the consequences.
Match 1 : Kazarian vs AJ Styles (#4)
Styles makes a bee line to the ring. Kaz flips over a back drop and hits an armdrag. They start trading arm drags. All of this is happening while the pyro is still going off. Now they're trading rights. Kaz rakes the eyes. AJ takes control again and works down Kaz in the corner. Kaz hits AJ with a huge monkey flip. Running dropkick follows. Pin but AJ kicks out quick. Sleeper locked in by Kazarian. Flair shows up on the ramp. He makes his way to the ring. AJ fights out of the sleeper. He jumps over Kaz, ducks under and hit's the dropkick. AJ lifts up Kaz, but he lands on his feet. AJ kicks Kaz's leg and hit's a weird sort of running neck breaker. Backbreaker by AJ, and he locks in a chin lock. He turns it into a sleeper. Kaz fights out, but AJ goes for the Clash. Kaz counters into that reverse piledriver attempt, but AJ counters that into another Clash attempt. Kaz counters out of that with kicks. Kaz flips over a backsuplex but AJ catches him with a firemans carry/neck breaker combo. Splash in the corner by AJ. He goes for that suplex/neck breaker combo, but Kaz holds onto the ropes as AJ drops down. Springboard leg drop by Kaz connects. Kaz puts AJ up on the top rope. He wants the Flux Capacitor. AJ fights out by knocking Kaz down. AJ goes springboard, but Kaz rolls out of the way. AJ lands on his feet though and immediately hit's the Pele. Kaz elevates AJ onto the apron. Slingshot DDT by Kaz, driving AJ's head into the apron. Both guys now trade rights on the inside. They both try to get back into the ring, but the ref rings the bell.
Winner : Double Countout (Good stuff here, and these two crammed a lot into a short amount of time. The ending also worked to help set up for the match this Sunday. No complaints here)
Neither guy cares though, because they keep going at it. Flair tells them to break it up. He tells them that they're two of the best wrestlers alive. Flair says they're special breed of men. He says they have a match at Victory Road, teaming up. He's not going to tell them against who. Flair walks off as Kaz and Styles argue.
-Angelina Love just took her top off in the back (with her back to the camera you perverts). Why this just happened, I don't know.
Match 2 : Daffney vs Angelina Love
Tie up to start, and Angelina wrenches the arm. Daffney counters by grabbing the arms together. Knee's by Angelina to counter out. Clothesline follows. Headlock by Angelina is locked in. Daffney counters out, but runs right into a liger kick. Angelina hits Daffney with a back elbow and locks in a sleeper. Daffney counters out with a jawbreaker. Front slam by Angelina, and another. Lights Out to Daffney. 1...2...3.
Winner : Angelina Love (Basically just a squash match as Daffney got about two moves in)
Angelina says Madison is probably watching this from home because she doesn't have the balls to be here. In 3 days at Victory Road, she will become the first ever 4 time TNA Knockout's Champion. But have no fear, for the champ is hurr. Madison says Angelina has underestimated her. If Madison is putting her title on the line, what is Angelina risking. What is she putting on the line. Those fake fun bags she has on her shirt. Tenay says that's an option. Or the fake weave she has hanging from her head. Or how about her career. She's putting her title on the line. Angelina says she's got it. But hold on, because there's just one more thing. She figured she would try to pull something like this. She had a meeting with the championship committee, and there's going to be another stipulation added. If Lacey or Velvet get involved, Madison will be disqualified and Angelina will win the title. Madison doesn't seem to care as she walks off.
-Samoa Joe and RVD are going to face off for the first time ever later tonight.
-Devon is walking in the back. Someone asks him what he's going to say to Ray. Devon says they'll find out.
-We get a recap of the Devon/Ray/Neal rivalry.
-Devon, Neal and Moore are in the ring. Devon says things have gotten out of control for the past few weeks, and asks for Ray to come down so they can straighten things out. And here he comes. He stands on the ramp. Devon says he doesn't get it. They trained Neal, gave him everything. Ray was the one interviewed him when he came to their school. He showed nothing but respect. He's already been through hell before he came to them. He was in the Navy and helped serve this country. And then, as he's working, his ship got blown up by some terrorists and in the process of that, his best friend, unfortunately died in that blast. He was the one carrying the casket, the one who had to say goodbye to his friend. That's respect right there. So he's going to put it to him this way, what the hell is Ray's problem with Jesse. Ray says he doesn't answer to him. He's Brother Ray, the leader of Team 3D, Devon answers to him. Ray's problem is with Neal, and now his problem is with Devon because he's an unloyal, disrespectful partner. Devon says his loyalty has nothing to do with this. He says his loyalty is with the both of them. He doesn't pick sides, he never has and he never will. Ray says things are about to get worse. He just spoke with Bischoff, and at Victory Road, it will be Ray vs Jesse… vs Devon. Three Way Dance. We're going to see where Devon's commitment is. Either Team 3D will continue on or come to an end on that night.
Match 3 : Samoa Joe (#6) vs TNA World Heavyweight Champion Rob Van Dam
Tie up to start. Now they're exchanging shots. And now kicks. RVD catches a kick and nails Joe with the windmill kick. Rob goes to the top, and Joe looks for the Muscle Buster.

He flips over in the corner for the pin and that's all.
Winner : Rob Van Dam (While I don't agree with giving away a match like this on free TV, I'm not going to argue with it. Really good match here. They thankfully didn't give too much away and I'm hoping to see a match between these two sooner rather than later)
Joe argues with the ref. He slaps him. He lifts him to the top. MUSCLE BUSTAHH!!!
-Angle says he's working his way up the top ten. He's been in the ring with Ken Anderson, and if he was Jeff Hardy, he'd watch his back.
Match 4 : Jeremy Buck vs TNA X Division Champion Douglas Williams - Ladder match
This is a non title bout as there's a red X hanging above the ring. Taz informs us that Williams is apparently afraid of heights.
Williams works down the arm and locks in a headlock. Jeremy pushes him off but gets hit with a shoulder block. Back elbow by Jeremy, and he hit's a springboard crossbody. Series of maneuvers ends with Jeremy hitting Douglas with a moonsault off the apron. He's got a ladder now and puts it into the ring. He starts to climb, but Williams cuts him off.

Jeremy unhooks the X for the upset victory.
Winner : Jeremy Buck (This was different. In order to set up Williams fear of heights, they have him lose, cleanly I might add, to a lower midcarder, which is kind of surprising. Still, this was a good ladder match and these two crammed a lot of cool spots into the short amount of time they had)
-Remember that Sabin and Shelley video that came out months ago making fun of Beer Money. Well, TNA got lazy and just decided to use it now.

Winner : Beer Money and Matt Morgan (Fast paced match here where the action didn't stop for a second, and both teams put on a great effort. While this doesn't do anything for the Hernandez/Morgan rivalry, it does help progress the Beer Money/MCMG rivalry. Good stuff here)
-Dinero's in the back. He says Anderson is deceptive. He can't trust Anderson and he's the reason why he isn't cleared yet. He's focused on Angle though. If Angle loses, it's his last match.
-Nash says he can't believe he's waiting for Bischoff. Hogan walks in. Hogan says The Band used up all their opportunities, and they cheated. Maybe Bischoff feels differently.
-Jay Lethal is in the ring. He says he was overwhelmed when Hogan made the match between him and Flair at Victory Road, but that feeling was taken away when he saw Flair beating up his brother. It ripped his heart out. At Victory Road, that's exactly what he's going to do, rip his heart out. Even though the greatest part of his life is in a week, his mind is on his mother because she's been ill. One thing he wants to let her know is that he loves her. How touching. He also wants to let her know that he plans on making her the proudest mother in the world when he beats Flair at Victory Road. Even though she's a thousand miles away, she will always be in his heart standing next to him. And here comes Flair.
Flair gets in Lethal's face, and says he could give a rats ass about his mother. As a matter of fact, she wants to be with him. He is Ric, by god Flair. Nobody knows Flair. He's crazy. Lethal is dressed like a little street punk from New Jersey and doesn't belong in his ring. Lethal's got three days to think about it. Flair is not human, he's a god. Lethal has to wrestle Flair in three days. A wrestling icon. No. I living breathing machine. There are hospitals around the world who want Flair to donate his body parts to see what makes him go. What is Lethal going to do? In three days, he's going to look his god in the eye, and get his ass handed to him. Three days. Flair walks off. WOOOO!!!

Chokeslam on Hardy. Boot to Anderson. Abyss looks at the board. He brings it back into the ring. He points it at Anderson. Anderson moves, and it gets stuck on the turnbuckle.
