Kendrick hits a superkick on Cesaro, then goes for the Kendrick on Kash but Kash shoves him off. Kash the uses Kendrick to climb up onto the cable but Kendrick grabs his foot and pulls him back down, sending them both crashing to the mat.
Aries climbs up while Robbie E climbs up on the other side. They meet in the middle and end up fighting eachother while hanging upside down. Robbie E sets up for the Fistpump Cutter, upside down while hanging form the cable, but Aries manages to fight out. He sends Robbie E reeling but Robbie E manages to hang on. During this Cesaro climbs across. Cesaro swings down and gets Aries in a headscissors and takes them both down to the mat! Robbie E reaches for the belt but The Rainbow Kid leaps across and grabs the title. As he’s trying to unhook it, Robbie E kicks at his hands and manages to knock him off. Robbie E then takes advantage of this to unhook the belt.
JB: Here is your winner, and STILL TNA X Division Champion, Robbie E
Tenay: Robbie E comes out of the ultimate X with the X Division title. West: I’m telling you, this kid is too legit to quit. Tenay: Don’t ever do that again.
Sarita and Hamada are walking down the hall when they're stopped by Christy Hemme.
Sarita! Hamada! Can I get your thoughts about your Tag Team Championship match coming up next?
Well Christy, you may not have noticed, but we were on our way to the ring...
So I suggest you save your questions...
Please?
Oh, lo siento. ¿Es que no habla Inglés? Entonces ¿por qué no te digo en español?
Tenemos cosas mucho más importantes que preocuparse que de lo que algunos skank que está en el anillo de su carrera fue un fracaso abismal nos tiene que preguntar! Todo lo que necesitas saber acerca de esta noche es que no vamos a cometer los mismos errores dos veces. Cuando el humo se instala, vamos a ser campeones de la nueva mujer de TNA Tag Team.
¿Lo tienes?
With that, Hamada shoves Christy aside and the two head towards the ring.

*As we go backstage, we see Taylor Wilde and Melanie Crank preparing for their match tonight. As Taylor begins stretching, Melanie speaks.*
Something's on your mind chickadee. You're distracted.
I'm fine Mel.
No, you're not. Something is on your mind, and it doesn't take a genius to figure it out. Now, do you want me to say something or are you going to come clean about it.
It's nothing Mel, really.
Chickadee, I saw you watch Impact. I saw what happened when you saw what went down with Daffney and Winter. And after you said you were going to try and patch things up with her, it's hard for me to believe you're completely fine. You're either throwing yourself into this match in an attempt to put it out of your mind, or you're so preoccupied with this bombshell that you can't focus. Either way, that's not the mindset that you want to be in. You get too into it, you make a mistake. You're not focused, you get taken advantage of. And we lose the tag team titles, which is not something I want happening.
*Taylor sighs*
I know Mel, okay? I know. And you're right, I am throwing myself into this match moreso than usual. But try and see it from my point of view. All this heartache and pain I've dealt with over the past few months, it's all an act. Daffney doesn't feel remorse or regret for what she's done, even with both of us doing horrible things. She isn't leaving at the end of this month, and to top it all off, there's something she's hiding, something she hasn't told anyone. And Daffney and I share everything with each other.
Or at least, we used to...
Alright, stop.
*Melanie walks over to Taylor, holding Taylor's face in her hands.*
In the short amount of time that I've known you, you have shown me that you're one of the strongest women I've ever known. You may not even realize it, but you showing regret and remorse, you trying to better yourself, that takes inner strength that girls like Hamada and Sarita wish they had. You go out there every night and wrestle, you've never let yourself get this down before, and I'll be damned if you're going to start now. You need to understand that you are strong, and when you do, it's going to be something to see.
You just need to believe in yourself like I do chickadee.
Mel....
*The two stay motionless for a few seconds, Taylor's face still in Melanie's hands. After a few seconds, Taylor smiles.*
Thanks Mel. I needed that.
Any time chickadee.
*Taylor goes to hug Melanie, who tentatively hugs her back. Taylor releases the hug and grabs the Knockouts Tag team Title, a smile on her face.*
Ready to prove Hamada and Sarita wrong for the second PPV in a row?
Yeah, yeah... just give me a second. Gonna do one last stretch.
You need help?
No, it's fine. I'll meet you before our match.
*Taylor smiles and exits the locker room as Melanie picks up her title.*
She's just a tag partner Mel. Just a tag partner.
*Melanie sighs.*
I almost believe that...

Tenay: Well i can't speculate about that. West: But she still likes girls though, right? Tenay: What the hell does that matter to you?

Samoa Joe vs. A.J. Styles.
I shouldn't even have to say anything about this match. Two of the best in TNA. Two of the guys who put this place on the map. In one corner of the ring, the guy who went undefeated for two years and gave this company some of the biggest publicity it got in the wrestling business, and on the other side of the ring...the man who has carried his company on his back, through all the good and all the bad and all that it's cost him, from day one. No titles on the line, no contendership, no championship opportunities, not even a grudge. Just two of the best wrestlers in the world stepping into that ring and delivering, for all the people watching live in person and at home on Pay Per View, for each other, for ourselves. I shouldn't have to say anything about this match.
But, I do.
Because it should be that simple. But it isn't. No, this has just become the next chapter in the ego crisis that the career of AJ Styles has become. There was a time when nobody would question that AJ Styles was the man in TNA. There were times he was the only thing worth watching here. But I see the man walking around now, and it's disgusting. Blaming every person in sight for his recent shortcomings, when the guy responsible is as easy to find as looking in a mirror.
And I don't care if he's having a crisis of faith, or if he can't cope with getting old, or if he really is just that broken up that he can't win the World Title back or whatever bullshit explanation he throws up for how he is lately, because he's taken this match tonight, this simple match where we both just don't have anything else to do, and he's tried to make it personal, when he's someone who should know better than anyone just how badly things end for you when you make a fight with Samoa Joe personal. I'm not a guy you bait into being angry before we get in the ring, then capitalize on a mistake. I'm a guy you bait into being angry before we get in the ring, then make sure you're laid up in a hospital for the next three months.
I'm hoping AJ Styles comes to his senses tonight, before or after he gets in the ring, because I really don't want to put my World Title aspirations on hold. But I will if you force me to, AJ. I will bring down that Samoa Joe of old upon you, that machine that came into TNA and took over, that left you broken, beaten, and shaken in your faith that you were the best to ever set foot in TNA.
Tonight was just supposed to be about proving who was the best. But keep on pushing me, AJ. Keep on pushing me like you have the last few weeks. And then? Then tonight will be remembered as the first mile on the very short road to AJ Styles' last night in TNA.

AJ Styles is shown backstage with Christy Hemme.
Well? Aren't you gonna ask me something?
No. Not when you're like this. Here.
Christy hands AJ the mic.
Interview yourself!
Christy leaves AJ just tuts.
Well so here it is. Me and Samoa Joe. It seems like we've been down this road many times before. Samoa Joe and AJ Styles. Two of the first names you associate with TNA. But here's the thing. You're not TNA, Joe. People think you are. And you just sit back and let them think it.
Let me ask you something. Do you know the very first match in TNA history? A team called the Flying Elvises which consisted of Jimmy Yang, Sonny Siaki and Jorge Estrada, faced a team made up of me, Low Ki and Jerry Lynn. Yeah, you've heard this story many times before but that’s because I'm damn proud of it. There are only four men who wrestled on that show, me, Abyss, James Storm and Jeff Jarrett, who have been here since the start and never left.
But while I was putting TNA on the map you were slumming around in Ring of Honor. It wasn't until 2005, after I had made TNA into what it was, that you wanted a piece of the action. You tried to take the X Division, the X Division that I created, and pervert it. You turned it into something brutal and ugly. You seem until you came along the X Division wasn't about violence it was about athleticism. But you changed all that with one chair shot to Christopher Daniels. You changed everything forever. After that point it wasn't about competition anymore. You opened the door for self centered assholes like Austin Aries and Robbie E to soil what had once been pure. But then you moved up from the X Division. And you did the same to the world title. Your influence began to pollute that division too after I had cleansed it by ended Jeff Jarrett's reign of terror in 2003. It's because of you Brutus Magnus was allowed anywhere near the world championship! It's because of you that the TNA World title is being contested between two assholes!
You seriously think this about some whiny self privilege I might be feeling. No. This is about the fact that I am being overlooked for the likes of you and Magnus and Anderson and everyone else. Men who simply do not deserve top be world champion.
So you know the difference between us, Joe? After nearly seven years, you are still an outsider. Whereas me, I am TNA! Tonight I am gonna show you exactly what that means.
AJ throws the mic down and walks out.

Ah well. I'm gonna break the tie by voting for AJ.
Joe ducks a punch from AJ, and hits a couple of big clotheslines. Joe whips AJ into the ropes but AJ springboards off. Joe catches him in midair and hits a powerslam.
1…
2…
AJ kicks out!
Joe works over AJ in the corner with a couple of strikes. Joe then charges in but AJ gets his feet up. AJ goes to the apron and hits the springboard forearm. AJ then sets up for the Styles Clash but Joe gets out of it and turns it into the Clutch! Aj stuggles and pushes off the ropes into a leveraged pin!
1…
2…
Joe releases the Clutch to save from being pinned. AJ goes right back to work with closed fists to Joe's face. Joe comes back with a series of open hand slaps, but when he charges Styles he eats an elbow. AJ then hits a moonsault inverted DDT!
1…
2…
Joe kicks out! AJ goes for the Styles Clash again but Joe backdrops out. AJ lands on his feet and goes for the Pele but Joe sidesteps! Joe locks on the Clutch again but AJ mule kicks him low to get out of it. AJ then rolls Joe up!
1…
2…
3!
JB: Here is your winner, AJ Styles!
Tenay: AJ wins and I hope he’s happy. West: Well he won, why wouldn’t he be. Tenay: Yeah, but with a blatant low blow. That’s not the AJ Styles I know. West: Well now what’s he doing?
AJ exits the ring and grabs a chair. As Joe gets to his feet, AJ sends him back down with a brutal chairshot. AJ then whacks Joe again and again with the chair until Joe is busted open. AJ finally leaves the ring as EMTs check on Joe. As AJ heads up the ramp, Christy comes out to confront him. AJ just walks past her and heads to the back.

Joe with a very late snap powerslam.
EDIT: Or...not. PN, wouldn't it have made more sense for AJ to snap after losing, not a roll-up win?

I'm here with Scott Steiner, who tonight will challenge Mr. Anderson for the TNA World Championship. Scott, after all that's happened the past couple of weeks-
See, that's the problem, Christy. The past.
The past was me doing what I could to stick it to Vince Russo and his Revelation running buddies. The past was me spinning my wheels doing petty stuff before then. The past was always me at the wrong place at the wrong time.
The PAST, Christy. Honestly, f*** the past.
This is NOW. This is the present. I can't do jack shit with the past. The present? Different story.
See, what I've often been seen as lately is some crazy muscled goof who is good for a bunch of Internet jokes. What they forget is that I have won world titles and tag titles and many other titles. Why? Because I'm good at this, Christy. This business? It's what I am now, it's what I've been for years, and it'll be me until I can't do anymore.
But yeah, I know I'm getting a bit up there in years, Christy. I can't escape that fact.
So I don't think I can be blamed for wanting to have, if nothing else, if I do nothing else in this company, I want one more run at the top. Just for a little while longer, I want to be Freakzilla, Big Poppa Pump, the Big Booty Daddy, and a world champion.
Now, I respect the hell out of Ken Anderson, Christy. I really do. Especially after all the shit he went through to win the title in the first place. But I need to beat him tonight. I need to take the TNA World Championship from him. I need to prove to myself and to all my freaks that I still got it.
Because I won't lie: I sometimes see what goes on at the competition, and I see some of these veterans making a comeback, and I think to myself, "I know I can do that."
And you know what, Christy?
I CAN do it.
I WILL do it.
Ken Anderson says I'm crazy?
I have to be crazy to have been doing this for as long as I have.
Ken Anderson, you're right. It IS hard to fight crazy, especially if it's Freakzilla. Tonight, you ain't gonna find a way to win that fight.
So this goes to each and every one of my freaks out there in the iMPACT! Zone and everywhere else, Big Poppa Pump is, has been, and always will be your hookup and the next TNA World Champion,
HOLLA
IF YA HEAR ME!!!!

Mr. Anderson is wearing a chainmail headpiece and a collegiate jacket.
Scott Steiner.
As a tag team wrestler, you were one of the greatest pure wrestlers in the history of this business.
You and your brother, Rick, were practically unstoppable.
Then you went solo, started wearing this thing on your head and became a world champion.
But that was many years ago.
Entire careers have begun and ended since you last held claim to a world title.
Meanwhile, somehow, your arms just kept getting bigger, your mouth just kept getting bigger and your talent just slowly withered away.
I know, you know a hell of a lot about this business and how to win, and they say an elephant never forgets, which is appropriate, since you're practically the size of one after taking all that ORANGE JUICE.
Yes, everyone knows how dependent you've become on ORANGE JUICE to maintain your physique, now I'm not one to throw stones, but the sad thing is, the ORANGE JUICE has made you a different person.
Problem for you is, the person you were is the one who was world champion.
You're just the weird guy with a playhouse who needs a little help keeping your neck thick enough to keep your headpiece from snapping your neck, I mean, damn, this thing is heavy.
Honestly, there is nothing I would have loved more than proving myself against a great wrestler like Scott Steiner.
It's just a shame the real Scott Steiner disappeared years ago.
Maybe if I'm lucky, he'll show up tonight.
But I doubt it.
