iMPACT! starts off with a video form earlier in the night where the out of character Sting (Steve Borden) is beating James Mitchell backstage. He stuffs Mitchell into the trunk of his car and drives off.

After a quick recap of what happened at the Final Resolution PPV, Jeremy Borash is in the back with Team 3D. Brother Ray and Devon tell their little brother Runt to stay out of the way and out of their rematch for the tag titles against LAX tonight. The match starts off as Team 3D catches LAX off guard and come into the ring from the other side and are able to grab the early advantage. Yet, control shifted in LAX’s favor when Brother Runt comes to ringside and has to be removed by Brother Ray. Spanish announcer Moody Jack then distracted the referee as Hernandez hits Brother Ray with the flapjack and retains their titles.

We then turn to backstage where Abyss, furious about Sting abducting James Mitchell, is destroying everything in his path backstage as iMPACT! goes to commercial.

Back from the break and Gail Kim and Miss Tennessee are brawling in the bathroom.

As security restores order, a video is shown of an interview with Christy Hemme. Hemme told JB that “Women deserve respect and don’t have to lay down for anybody”. Kip James then interrupted and asked Hemme if she knew about the ladder of success; “Before you go up, you must go…” and proceeded to give Christy a crotch chop.

Christian Cage is in the ring and is talking about Kurt Angle’s accolades; including being the biggest @$$hole he’s ever known. Angle took offense to this and came down to the ring and tells Cage that he will win the NWA title at Against All Odds. Cage then tells Angle that he’s acquired the services of a consultant to get inside the head of the Olympic gold medalist. Kurt demands to know who it is and gives Cage a german suplex, but Cage manages to escape before any more damage can be done.

Cameras turn to a jail where Sting is with a bloodied James Mitchell. Sting is asking Mitchell what Abyss is hiding, but the only thing he gets out of him is that Chris Parks (Abyss) was here for six years.

The Paparazzi is in the back where JB tells Alex Shelley that he has a job for him next week. Nash then tells Sonjay Dutt and Jay Lethal that he is going to give them an extreme makeover, only to be interrupted by Austin Starr trying to attack Senshi.

Our next match is Lance Hoyt squaring off against “Cowboy” James Storm. Hoyt is in control of the match until he is distracted by Dale Torborg and then hit with a chair by AJ Pierzynski. Storm takes advantage and picks up the win. After the match Pierzynski signs Hoyt’s forehead, as Gail Kim runs to ringside to get some revenge on Miss Tennessee. Storm then attacks Gail, until Petey Williams tries to makes the save, yet is met with a Superkick from Storm.

Jeremy Borash is in the back where Eric Young tells him that Ms. Brooks is still all over his “friend” and he needs some protection; some “condos”. JB corrects his term and says he will help him next week.

Sting arrives back at the Impact Zone as we prepare for Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles. Tomko comes out and tries to interfere and AJ grabs a chair to hit Angle, only to miss. Kurt is then able to counter and give AJ an Olympic Slam onto the chair and get the three count. Christian Cage comes down to the ring as Tomko and AJ help him beat down Angle. Rhino comes down to the ring and chases off AJ, as Samoa Joe then runs in with a chair in hand and chases off Cage and Tomko. Before Cage exits the arena, he leaves Angle with this question – “Do you have a clue who my informant is now?”

After a video recap of the night’s iMPACT!, Sting is in the ring and is demanding Abyss come out and meet him. Abyss does so and is notably distraught over what happened to James Mitchell. Sting only has one question for Abyss – “What are you hiding?” – Abyss seems like he may answer, only to give the mic back to Sting and start to back up. Sting says that if Abyss won’t tell him, that he will go into public records and find out one way or another. Sting walks up the entrance ramp, as Abyss almost looks worried and iMPACT! comes to a close.
