TNA iMPACT! (Airing Next Week):
A.J. Styles and Ric Flair come out. Styles jokes about Pope being ‘champion of the people’ and he says that Pope will not be beating him. Styles says to be the man, you have to beat the man and because he is the champion, he is the man. Flair takes the mic and calls out Hogan for giving his Hall of Fame ring to Abyss and he bashes Hogan and calls out Abyss. Abyss comes out to Hogan’s American Made. Flair asks Abyss why he came out to that music and says that Abyss makes all wrestlers look bad. ‘You may have some superhuman strength, but you’re not a Hall of Fame wrestler.’ Flair says the only thing Abyss is good for is shining the champs boots and calls Abyss a clown.
Abyss gets on the mic and says Flair is right. ‘I couldn’t shine your shoes because I am not a shoe-shine boy’. Abyss says that he would be more than happy to remove A.J.’s boots and stick them up flair’s ass.
A.J. takes the mic and asks if Abyss thinks that the people came to see him and calls Abyss a disgrace. He asks Abyss to take the ring off and Flair demands that it be put on A.J.’s hand.
Hogan comes out. Hogan gets in the ring and asks A.J. what he knows about having a good name because associating himself with Flair gives him a bad name. Flair and Hogan exchange words. Flair asks for a fight right now, but as Abyss and Hogan are ready, Flair and Styles go around the ring. Flair claims that before the night is through, the ring will be on A.J.’s finger.
Team 3D beat the Nasty Boys in a tables match. Jimmy Hart was going to hit Devon with the motorcycle helmet but Jesse Neal came out, took the helmet from Hart, and tossed it to Devon who used it on Sags. Team 3D then hit a 3D on Sags through the table for the win.
After the match, Beer Money came out and they talk about it was almost two years ago that they formed. They made a promise to each other about being the best and they run down their accomplishments. They mention how the new management seems to have put them on the sidelines. Hernandez came out and gave Beer Money a TNA World Tag Title Match in the future.
Kaz defeated Brian Kendrick via flux capacitor.
