iMPACT! started up with Team 3D making their way down to the ring (no Brother Runt, by the way).  Brother Ray grabbed a microphone and told the audience that they have been fighting warriors since the day they stepped into the TNA ring.  He doesn’t understand how the upper management decided that AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels deserved the tag team championship before they did.  He admitted that Styles and Daniels are great wrestlers, but in terms of a great tag team, it ain’t happening.  Team 3D is the greatest team in TNA, and the fans know it.  They deserve the rematch against AMW for the NWA Tag Team Championship.  He was interrupted by the James’ Gang, who made their way down to the ring.  BG James told them that they beg to differ, seeing that they will never beat them.  Ray told BG that they defeated them to win their first WWE Tag Team Championship in their first-ever WWE tag team championship match.  BG told Ray that they were busy selling out Madison Square Garden while Team 3D could bring in a measly 350 people into a bingo hall.  BG declared that at Sacrifice, they are wide open, so he challenged Team 3D to a match.  Team 3D accepted and they shook hands (and BG kissed Brother Devon). 

 

Puma came down to the ring with Shocker for a World X Cup match.  His opponent, Chris Sabin, came down to the ring to start the match.

 

World X Cup Singles Match

Puma (Team Mexico) (/w Shocker) vs. Chris Sabin (Team USA)

 

They grappled up, but Puma pushed Sabin over and locked in a wrist-lock.  Sabin rolled out of it and hit a arm-drag, followed by a roll-up, but Puma kicked out.  He dropkicked Puma onto the apron, but when he charged at him, Puma hopped over the ropes.  With Sabin on the apron, Puma hit a dropkick, sending Sabin out of the ring.  He missed a 619-like attempt, but we have to go to commercial.

Sabin missed the enziguri, but Sabin hit a drop toe-hold, followed by a dropkick to the head.  Sabin whipped him to the ropes, but Puma held on and booted Sabin in the face.  He locked in a single-leg boston crab, but he then drove his knee into the elbow of Sabin.  He went for the pin, but Sabin kicked out.  Puma hit a modified samoan slam, followed by a leg-drop.  Puma hit a scoopslam, followed by a diving senton.  He locked in the abdominal stretch, but Sabin fought out with some elbows.  He hit a springboard missile dropkick.  He picked Puma up, but Puma got off and hit a roll-up, but Sabin kicked out.  Puma turned that roll-up into another single-leg boston crab.  Puma went to the top turnbuckle, but Sabin pulled him off.  Puma hit another elbow and went for the top turnbuckle again, but Sabin pushed him off and hung him upside-down on the same turnbuckle.  He hit a dropkick to the face, followed by the Cradle Shock for the victory!

 

Winner by pinfall: Chris Sabin

 

After this match, Team USA is leading with five points, Team Mexico is second with two points, and Team Canada and Japan have no points.

 

Jeremy Borash is backstage with Team Canada, AMW, Gail Kim, and a crying Miss Jackie.  Gail took Miss Jackie away to get coffee as Larry Zbyszko confronted him.  He asked Scott D’Amore for help against Raven, and D’Amore told him that he will help him if he books a high-profile match for A1, who has been in the shadows for far too long.  Zbyszko told him that they have a deal and held out his hand, but D’Amore didn’t shake it.

Jeremy Borash is backstage with Team USA as Alex Shelley told his partners that he brought them here for a reason.  He knows that they don’t like him and he doesn’t like them, but he still has an obligation to show them this video.  The video is Part Two of the Kevin Nash interview.   Nash told Shelley that he wants to destroy the thing that made TNA’s identity: the X Division.  His theory was that if he destroyed TNA’s identity, he would become their identity.  TNA could line up all of the X Division stars and he could knock them all down.  The camera went back to the Team USA locker room, as they walked around angrily.

 

Abyss made his way down to the ring by himself as James Mitchell appeared on the titantron.  Mitchell told Christian Cage that Abyss has prepared a little preview for what will happen at Sacrifice this Sunday.  Abyss tossed a table into the ring, but he was dropkicked out of the ring by Chase Stevens.

 

Singles Match

Chase Stevens vs. Abyss

 

Abyss caught Stevens in mid-air and shoved him back-first into the steel post.  Back in the ring, he placed a ladder in the corner and wedged a chair into between the second and third turnbuckle in the opposite corner.  He turned around into a chair shot by Stevens, but Abyss low-blowed him with a kick and sent him face-first into the chair.  He whipped him to the ladder before setting up the table.  He hit the Black Hole Slam, sending Stevens right through the table.  He covered Stevens for the victory!

 

Winner by pinfall: Abyss

 

Christian Cage stormed the ring and took the ladder.  He rammed it into the stomach of Abyss and sent him out of the ring.  Security guards stopped Abyss from reentering the ring, but Cage climbed the ladder and vaulted off of it.  He landed on Abyss and the security guards and continued to brawl.  The security pulled him off, but Abyss got free and continued to fight with Cage before we cut to commercial.

Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner were already in the ring as Sting stood on the entrance ramp with Lex Luger, Buff Bagwell, and Rick Steiner.  He told Jarrett that once again, instead of picking his own partner, he still wants Jarrett to choose.  He entered the ring and gave Jarrett thirty seconds to choose, but Jarrett told him that he is sure that Sting doesn’t have a man in the tunnel.  He ordered Sting to tell him who is partner is.  Sting read out some information on the man behind the tunnel, but none of it seemed too familiar until he mentioned the fact that he is the undefeated “Samoan Submission Machine!”  Samoa Joe made his way down to the ring.  At Sacrifice this Sunday, it will be Jarrett and Steiner taking on Sting and Joe.

AMW came down to the ring with Gail Kim.  Their partner, Bobby Roode, came down to the ring with Scott D’Amore.  Rhino, AJ Styles, and Christopher Daniels came down to the ring to start off the main event.

 

Normal Six-Man Tag Team Match

AMW (/w Gail Kim) & Bobby Roode (/w Scott D’Amore) vs. Rhino, AJ Styles, & Christopher Daniels

 

James Storm and Rhino started the match up as they exchanged right hands.  Rhino won the battle and stomped on Storm in the corner.  Storm retaliated with some right hands of his own, followed by an arm-bar and the tag to Roode.  He hammered away at Rhino with right hands and a knee to the stomach.  He tagged in Chris Harris, but Rhino tagged in Daniels.  Daniels hit a spin-kick to Harris and the pin, but Harris kicked out.

 

Commercial

 

Daniels tagged in Styles as they double-teamed Harris.  He went for the pin, but Harris kicked out.  Styles took both Roode and Storm out of the ring, but he turned around into a full-nelson slam by Harris.  He distracted the referee as D’Amore got a cheap shot in.  Harris tagged in Roode, who set Styles up on the top turnbuckle.  Roode followed, but Styles pushed him off.  He went onto the apron and springboarded off and hit a flying forearm.  Styles tagged in Rhino and Roode tagged in Storm.  Rhino cleared house and hit the spinebuster onto Storm.  Styles and Daniels came into the ring and Daniels took Harris out of the ring.  Styles hit the paylay onto Roode as Miss Jackie came down to the ring with some coffee.  She sprayed the coffee into the face of Storm, who turned around into the Gore from Rhino!
