The show opened with a recap of the Sting and Kurt Angle saga.
Backstage, Jeremy Borash held the microphone while Jeff Jarrett announced that Angle had been fined and suspended for one week. Jarrett said he's an executive in the company and is no longer an active wrestler. He added with a smile that the company found a "very worthy cause" to donate Angle's pay to.
Mike Tenay introduced the show and then turned it over to Don West, who started to issue an apology. However, West stopped and said he wouldn't change a thing that he said last week. Tenay fumed as West encouraged viewers to grab a beer and enjoy the ride.
Mick Foley stood in the ring and introduced Sting. Foley thanked Sting for saving him from Kurt Angle's ankle lock last week. He said it's probably not the first time Sting has saved him. He recalled the WCW box angle and said it changed his life. Foley said everything he has goes back to that day. Foley said Sting saved him that day and he would like to save him now.
Foley said he hopes he's seen the last of Sting in the Main Event Mafia regardless of whether he wins at the pay-per-view. "We need Sting back," Foley said. He added that he's never used Sting the way the Main Event Mafia are using him now.
Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner, Booker T, and Sharmell walked to ringside. Nash took the mic and told Sting that Foley "is office." He said Foley is a stooge. "We're close, man," Nash said. He said they're close to getting the respect they deserve. Sting got worked up and said he doesn't have a problem with the guys in the ring, but Angle didn't showed no respect by spitting in his face.
"We all knew when we got in this that Kurt is a hot head," Nash said. "But damn it, he's our hot head." Nash said Jarrett painted them into a corner and he knows they have to fight, but they can fight with honor and respect, and shake hands afterward. Nash said the other option is that Sting could turn his back and walk away. He said Sting might be able to live with that, but the rest of the Mafia could not.
A shot aired of Angle walking backstage. Tenay complained that Angle was supposed to be banned from the building.

Another Rough Cuts segment focussed on the Ultimate X. Chris Sabin recalled them taping the belt to the top of the wires because it kept falling off. A.J. Styles said it's possible an Ultimate X cage match could be next.
Backstage, Lauren interviewed Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed. They were both wearing suits and Lethal broke into a Ric Flair impersonation. "Wrong guy," he said before going back to doing Randy Savage.
1. Alex Shelley (w/Chris Sabin) pinned Kiyoshi (w/No Limit) to retain the X Division Title in 4:20. West said he wishes Tenay could stop being so bias regarding the Main Event Mafia situation. Good action during the match. Shelley won clean. Afterward, Suicide made his usual entrance and attacked Shelley and Sabin. West complained about Suicide blindsiding the Guns. He picked up the belt and West griped that Suicide should enter the Ultimate X. "I'm actually going to agree with you for once," Tenay said as if they've been bickering for years.
Backstage, Nash, Steiner, and Booker tried to talk Angle into going home to avoid problems with Jarrett and Sting. Booker told him that Jarrett gave the fine money to the TNA Frontline and they bought new suits. Angle said they spent his money on the suits, so they are technically his property. "I'm gonna go retrieve my property," Kurt said.

The announcers recapped Petey Williams and Lance Rock being eliminated from TNA by Beer Money.
Backstage, Lauren interviewed Beer Money. Robert Roode showed no remorse over eliminating two wrestlers. James Storm said LAX doesn't understand English. He added that he is sorry about your damn luck.
At ringside, the announcers ran through three upcoming matches.
West got giddy as he said that Angle was in the building even though Jarrett suspended him for the week.
Homicide and Hernandez walked to the ring with the briefcases they won in Feast or Fired. Hernandez took the mic and said neither one of them will be going home because they're going to become the tag champions again.
Backstage, Booker T spoke to an unidentified person on the telephone and said he was going to set someone up so the mystery caller could knock them down.

2. The Beautiful People (w/Cute Kip) defeated Awesome Kong and Raisha Saeed, Sojourner Bolt and Rhaka Khan, and Taylor Wilde and Roxxi (w/The Governor) in a four-way tag match in 7:00. Early in the match, Bolt had Roxxi pinned, but the referee stopped counting because The Gov stood on the ring apron and complained. A shot aired of Madison Rayne walking to ringside.

A video recapped the Booker T and A.J. Styles storyline.
Booker, Sharmell, and Steiner walked to the ring. West went into heel mode by saying he can't believe how cowardly A.J. has been by attacking Booker from behind. Tenay said he wanted to get past week and get beyond the nonsense. In the ring, Booker delivered an insincere apology for comments he's made about Styles. He called for A.J. to come out and return the Legend's Title.
Styles came in from the crowd and attacked the Mafia members from behind. West cried foul on commentary. Styles eventually slipped out of the ring, but three masked security guards grabbed him from behind. Two of the masked men handcuffed Styles and carted him off.
One of the guards showed up in the ring behind Steiner. He unmasked to reveal himself as Samoa Joe. He held a giant knife to Steiner's throat. "I can't blame Samoa Joe," Tenay said.

Backstage, Booker mocked Styles as the security/policemen locked him in a car and drove him away.
Inside the arena, Kurt Angle beat up Jay Lethal and took his suit jacket.

The latest Abyss and Dr. Stevie therapy session aired. Abyss said he was confused by the way Tom and Jerry fought throughout their cartoon show, but always looked like they were friends at the end. Abyss told Stevie that he was cured and would no longer use weapons.
3. Matt Morgan pinned Shane Sewell. Tenay complained that West disrespected him and the fans by walking off the show. Tenay announced that Jim Cornette took the Legends Title back from Booker T. Morgan hit a fallaway slam, but pulled Sewell when he could have pinned him. A short time later, Morgan hit the Hellevator for the clean pin.
After the match, Morgan brought a bag of tacks inside the ring and said they were the most important thing in the world to Abyss. Morgan bragged about his college performance and said Abyss is a loser because he needs a therapist. Morgan challenged Abyss to a 10,000 tacks match at the pay-per-view.
Backstage, Lauren interviewed Eric Young. He said he got his suit at the Salvation Army and spent the rest of Angle's money on a new surround sound system. Angle showed up and brawled with Young.

Backstage, Cornette tried to talk Jarrett out of fighting Angle. Mick Foley sat on the couch and said, "Once a wrestler always a wrestler." Sting entered the room and said it would be over in two weeks. He asked Jarrett to let him have the fight. Jarrett said he would save a piece of Angle for Sting.
4. LAX defeated Beer Money (w/Jacqueline) by DQ in an Off the Wagon Challenge/TNA Tag Title match in 8:15. Good action early. Hernandez picked up Homicide and threw him Border Toss-style onto Beer Money at ringside.

After the break, the heels took turns working over Homicide. Hernandez tagged in and dominated both heels. He powerbombed Roode and had the pin, but Storm broke it up. In the end, Roode hit Hernandez with a chair in front of the referee for the DQ to save his team. The heels beat up the babyface duo until Team 3D came out and ran them off.
Brother Ray took the mic and complained about the Off the Wagon Challenge. Ray said they take food off the tables of the people they cost jobs. "Yep," the heels responded at ringside to everything negative Ray said about them. Ray challenged them to a tag title match at the pay-per-view.
Angle came to the ring and told the Mafia security to go backstage. "Hey, boss, are you looking for me?" Angle asked. "Because I'm looking for you." Angle said he was going to eat Jarrett alive tonight, then eat Sting as the main course at the pay-per-view. A shot aired of Jarrett taping his wrists backstage.

Jarrett came out and in his street clothes and traded punches with Angle in the ring. Jarrett dumped Angle to ringside and dominated the fight as they entered the bleachers of the Impact Zone. Angle came back by crotching Jarrett on a handrail. The fans chanted Jarrett's name and "Double J."
Angle came back with a low blow, but Jarrett reversed a whip attempt and sent Angle crashing into the wall back on the floor. Jarrett threw Angle out the door and slammed it shut. Mick Foley and Team 3D showed up to congratulate Jarrett. They headed to the ring and held their hands in the air to close the show.
