Last week we saw the first look at the next main event for a Total Nonstop Action Wrestling pay per view as Booker T will be the next man to challenge Samoa Joe. What is Kevin Nash’s role in all of this? What is next in the preview of the World X Cup? Now that Jay and Val’s big pay per view wedding was ruined by Sonjay, what is next in Port Charles for the Luke and Laura of wrestling? Why not get married in a private ceremony? What will happen at the Pink Taco tonight?
We start off and Jay Lethal is talking like a normal man as he waits for Sonjay Dutt at the Pink Taco. Jay mentions that he has a camera crew to watch what happens. Jay is going to make sure that Sonjay does not forget this party.
We take a look back at recent developments in the world of Impact. We see Kevin Nash tell Joe that he cannot beat Booker T, but Joe does not believe Kevin because he has challenged the man who Nash says Joe cannot beat to a match at Victory Road.
