Jeff Hardy comes to the ring and says that last week The Decay did him wrong but before he can say anything else the lights go out and The Decay appear on the stage.
Abyss says that he and Jeff had been to war with each other many times before but this thing isn’t personal and it is all about business. He says they actually like Jeff and that he would be a great addition to their family, but Jeff’s devotion to the “pathetic creatures” makes Jeff weak. Abyss says again that he is beautiful as Steve calls Jeff “weak” repeatedly. He says that Jeff’s “creatures” make him weak but Jeff says that they are dead wrong about his creatures.
Jeff says that the only way to “Decay” is to die and he is about to kill them. Rosemary laughs and says that Jeff doesn’t even realize that his “pretty little head” is a prize and it fetches a high price right now. Abyss admits that they were paid and says the person that paid them to take Jeff out will reveal themselves at the right time, but in the meantime Jeff should be more concerned about what The Decay is going to do to him tonight.
The Decay circles the ring but Jeff doesn’t allow them to attack as he attacks first! The numbers get the better of Jeff as Rosemary low blows Jeff. James Storm hits the ring and The Decay bails. Storm says that The Decay owes him a Tag Team Title rematch and last time he checked Jeff knows a little something about tag wrestling himself so tonight it’s going to be The Decay vs. Storm & Hardy! Abyss says that last week they destroyed Jeff for a “large prize” but tonight they will destroy them both for free.
Jeff says that he is a weatherman tonight and The Decay are in for a “Charismatic Storm.”

He says Bennett can stand there with his thumb up his butt or he can get in the ring with EC3 right here and now in a rematch! Maria says she knew EC3 would be relentless about this so she talked to Billy Corgan about this backstage at the Smashing Pumpkins concert. She says that Bennett gave Billy a great idea there.
Bennett says that EC3 said awhile ago that he and Bennett are similar and he was right because he knew that EC3 would go to every length to get a rematch because he would have done the same if EC3 had beaten him. Bennett says that the problem with EC3’s demons eat him up inside and he knows that because the minute he walked into TNA he saw those demons and EC3 began to spiral down. Bennett offers EC3 a chance at a rematch. He says that he will lay all of EC3’s demons from his past and if he gets past those demons he will get his rematch. EC3 agrees to the challenge without knowing exactly what it entails. Bennett says that tonight EC3’s road to redemption starts tonight in a Six Sides of Steel Cage Match!
