A video package of Victory Road is aired where we see a death-defying move from Kaz, Taylor Wilde retaining the Knockout Championship over Awesome Kong and Booker T leaving with the TNA World Championship. The voiceover guy asks what will happen tonight as the Victory Road fallout ensues.
A Cadillac Escalade is shown in the parking lot as Booker T and Sharmell come out of it with the World Championship draped over Booker’s shoulder. The Impact intro airs as Mike Tenay tells us that the World Title controversy will be addressed and Kaz will face Petey Williams for the X Division title.
Booker T’s music hits as both him and his wife come out to the ring as Tenay states that he didn’t actually win the match as Sharmell was the one who made the three count. Booker says that he proved to everyone that he is the greatest champion of all time as he left Samoa Joe lying lifeless in the ring.
Booker declares himself the new champion as Jim Cornette comes out an interrupts by telling him to hand over the championship so he can give it back to its rightful owner, Samoa Joe. Cornette tells him that if he wants the belt back he will have to fight for it at Hard Justice.
Joe’s music then hits as he walks down to the ring in a suit and says he can’t believe Booker calls himself a champion after he got unmercifully beaten in front of his hometown crowd. Joe then tells Booker that he can hold on to his belt as it gives Joe a target and he will reclaim it and take a piece of his ass with it at Hard Justice. He then tells Booker to shine his belt up nice and to warn his friend Sting that he will be coming for him next.
Lauren is with Beer Money and Jacquelyn and asks how their backs are feeling after the strap match at Victory Road. Robert Roode doesn’t think her question is very funny and says that tonight it will be Beer Money Revenge night. First they will take it out on the vacationers at the theme park and then come back for the fans. Roode and Storm then leave with Lauren in their grasp.
Mike Tenay announces the Team Mexico was victorious in the World X Cup at Victory Road as we are sent to the back with Jeremy Borash who is standing by with Kaz. Kaz says that he let every X Division star in TNA, from Jerry Lynn all the way to Chris Sabin, down and he has to embrace that, and will try to tonight in his title match.
Match 1: Kaz vs. Petey Williams (X Division Title Match)
The two go back and forth with counters and reversals in the opening of this match up. Williams is able to toss Kaz over the ropes and onto the floor before diving out and taking him down with a hurricanrana. Williams rolls him back in the ring and delivers more punishment with a jawbreaker but Kaz is able to fight back with a few clotheslines.
Kaz then tries for the Wave of the Future, but Williams is able to counter it and try for the Canadian Destroyer, but Kaz counter it as well and takes Williams down with a neckbreaker and picks up a two count. Williams is able to make a comeback again and tries for another Destroyer, but Kaz stops him and gives him a reverse spike piledriver. Kaz goes for the cover but Rhaka Khan distracts the ref and Kaz chases her away.
Kaz then takes Williams down with the Wave of the Future but he isn’t able to hold Williams down long enough to win the match. Kaz then tries for the Flux Capacitor but Williams is able to counter a roll up Kaz for the three count while holding on the trunks.
Jeremy Borash is backstage waiting for Petey Williams but Eric Young comes up and says that there will be a Prince Justice Brotherhood meeting tonight, but nobody can know about it. Young says he will be a fly on the wall of the meeting and report back to him later on.
After a commercial break, Samoa Joe is joined by Jeremy Borash and asks what him and Sting said to each other on Sunday night. Kevin Nash comes into the room and says that he didn’t doubt his ability to beat Booker T and said what he did to help motivate him. Nash says that he is the best in the game today but Joe says that he didn’t beat Booker and doubts his abilities. Nash tells Joe that when a man doesn’t believe in himself, he has nothing left and leaves the room.
Don West then says there is a commotion going on in the production truck as Beer Money is seen whipping the crew members and Lauren as we head into another commercial break.
Mike Tenay announces that Sting has arrived at the Impact Zone as Borash is standing by a limo as we see Team 3D and Kurt Angle come out wearing Sting masks. Borash asks them why they are wearing them but doesn’t get an answer.
Suddenly, he hears people talking in a dark corner and sees Curry Man, Shark Boy and Super Eric having a meeting. Super Eric says they are there to rid TNA of the filth that is currently in the company. They are then attacked from behind by Beer Money as we head into our next match.
Match 2: Jimmy Rave vs. Matt Morgan
Jimmy Rave goes quick on the attack with closed fists and teeth, but is soon leveled by a big boot from Morgan. Morgan then slams him down to the mat and picks up the pin fall.
Lance Hoyt comes down, who is now known as Lance Rock, and says he will miss with the rest of the band tonight and take him on.
Match 3: Lance Rock vs. Matt Morgan
Rock lands a kick on Morgan before being slammed down with a fallaway slam. Christy Hemme causes a distraction which allows Rock to regain the advantage but he misses a moonsault. Morgan comes back and levels Rock with a big boot and slams him down like he did to Rave to pick up another victory.
There is a knockout argument in Jim Cornette’s office and Cornette says that there will be a 10-woman gauntlet match to determine who will face Taylor next week for the Knockout Championship. Traci Brooks says that Cornette needs to take her up on the offer she gave him and tells him that he knows where to find her if he does.
A preview of the new talk show, “Karen’s Angle” is aired where Karen says that she will be asking the hard questions to get the truth out of people on what’s really going on behind the scenes.
Beer Money is then shown walking into Universal Studios and they attack security and begin whipping them in front of the tourists. They begin walking towards the crowd as we head to the announce table who say they have now gone too far and have crossed the line.
Kurt Angle’s music hits and he comes down wearing a Sting mask, trench coat and carrying a baseball bat. Team 3D join him in the ring wearing similar garb as Angle says that they are welcoming Sting to their fraternity. Angle says that with one swing of a bat, Sting shattered the hopes and dreams of all the little Stingers by showing his true colors at Victory Road. Angle says that Sting did it because of the lack of appreciation from the fans and is tired of the young punks in the business that have no respect. Angle says that he talked to Sting last night and got the scoop from him.
AJ Styles, Christian Cage and Rhino then come out and Styles says that nobody knows why Sting did what he did and sticks up for him. Brother Ray cuts Styles off and begins running them down at the mouth and says that they will get a tables rematch against them at Hard Justice. Cage says Ray isn’t one to bark orders and says the rematch won’t take place at Hard Justice, but next week on Impact and says it will be a six-man tables elimination match.
A video package highlighting the Knockouts is aired that focuses on the rivalries between them all. Everything will be on the line as they face each other in a gauntlet match to win the chance to face Taylor Wilde for the title next week.
Match 4: 10-Women Gauntlet Match
Jacquelyn and Gail Kim are the first two to compete in the gauntlet and Kim works her over with a hurricanrana and a couple of dropkicks. Jacquelyn, however, is able to get Kim in an armbar as Angelina Love makes her way into the match. Love goes right after Kim but Jacquelyn pulls her off and the two begin a shoving match. Kim then comes back and takes them both down as Salinas is the next one in the match.
Salinas comes in like a ball of fire and sets her sights on Love as Kim tries to get Jacquelyn over the ropes on the other side of the ring. Velvet Sky is the next one in the match and quickly comes to the aid of her partner as they double team Salinas in the corner. Roxxi is the fifth participant in the match and she goes right after Love and Sky. Salinas is able to drive Roxxi’s face down to the mat but she is then tossed out by the Beautiful People. Rhaka Khan is the next one in the match and begins tossing people around in the ring.
Traci Brooks is the next one out and she takes out Rhaka Khan with a face plant as Christy Hemme joins the match and takes Kim down with a clothesline. ODB is the last entrant in the match and we still have nine women left in the ring. ODB and Khan begin going at it as we head into a commercial break.
We return to see that during the break, Rhaka Khan, Christy Hemme and Traci have been eliminated. ODB is the next one out as she is taken out by Jacquelyn. Roxxi tries to then toss out Jacquelyn but she is able to skin the cat and pull Roxxi out with her legs. Roxxi then pulls her out to the floor and is eliminated as well. I guess eliminated entrants can still eliminate people.
This leaves us with the Beautiful People and Gail Kim. One wrong move and Love accidently kicks Sky in the face that evens the odds for Kim. The two go over the rope and begin fighting on the apron and Love is pushed out to the floor. Kim re-enters the ring as Sky quickly rolls up Kim to pick up the three count and win the opportunity to face Taylor Wilde next week.
Jeremy Borash is backstage with Booker T and asks which opponent and match type he will select tonight. Booker is perusing a magazine with the roster in it and selects Consequences Creed as his opponent.

After the match, Jay Lethal comes to the ring and attacks Dutt from behind but Devine pulls him off and the two begin to on Lethal until he fights back. Lethal begins landing a series of rights on Dutt and SoCal Val comes out to stop him but he keeps on going. Lethal sends Dutt flying into the ring post and goes for a chair shot but she grabs the chair away from him. As Val begins walking away, Dutt steals the chair, hits it upside the ring post and tosses it back to Lethal and Val catches him with the chair in his hands as Dutt pretends to have been hit. Val asks why he did that and says that he is an animal as a huge smile appears on Dutt’s face.
Robert Roode and James Storm are seen walking with the straps as Roode reminds Storm the rule about men-against-women violence on Spike TV. Storm says to hell with the rules and doesn’t care if they are fined as Roode already has a ton of money.
