A video package recaps last week’s event and then we cut to the ring where Mike Bennett is raising the X-Division Title in the air. Maria says that she wants to thank Billy Corgan for being a gracious and fear leader in the absence of the evil Dixie Carter. Maria says that Impact is “her show” tonight and Bennett says that with Destination X right around the corner he has a golden ticket to the World Title while holding up the X-Division Title. He says that he will cash in “Option C” and he will not only be known as the world’s greatest X-Division wrestler but also the world’s greatest Heavyweight Champion of the World. Lashley says that Lashley is carrying something he wants and he may be big and bad but he will never be half the man that Bennett is.
Lashley comes to the ring and he says that Bennett calling out his name isn’t a good thing for him to do. Lashley points out their size difference and says that it looks like Bennett is actually half the size of Lashley. Bennett says that Lashley cannot intimidate him but Lashley says he isn’t attempting to do that because when he attempts to intimidate him he will know. Lashley points to all of the people he has “destroyed” and dismisses Bennett as just an afterthought. Bennett says to look past the X-Division Title and to look him in the eyes because he is “The Miracle.” He says that he hopes Lashley, EC3, and Galloway tear each other apart because he doesn’t care which one of them he has to face at DX because he is taking that World Title.
The lights go out and EC3’s music hits. The former World Champion comes to the ring and says that as much as he would love to just watch Lashley and Bennett beat the hell out of each other the thing that matters is the World Title. He says that they all want that title but Lashley is the one that has it. He says that he has been planning his return to glory like the Invasion of Normandy and tonight he gets his title back. Lashley says it will be a fight tonight and he will make the fans realize that EC3 is not half as tough as he wants them to believe he is.
Bennett says it doesn’t matter what either of them say because he will take the title from them at DX. EC3 says that Bennett got that title in the first place by being a conniving, cheating weasel and using Corgan to bullshit his way into a title shot and he can’t even congratulate him on winning that title because he is a such a piece of shit.
Billy Corgan steps onto the stage and Corgan asks if EC3 is really questioning his integrity. Corgan says it is because of what Dixie did that put them in the situation in the first place. He says that Bennett make a good case at getting his title shot so he granted it. EC3 suggests that everyone in the X-Division should get a chance to Main Event at Destination X, not just Bennett and they should get that chance tonight. Bennett freaks out at that thought but Corgan says he likes that idea because Bennett can’t just talk his way to Destination X. Corgan makes a match for tonight where Bennett will defend his title against the winner of an X-Division Battle Royal tonight! Bennett attacks EC3 and then Lashley clotheslines EC3 as he starts t make a comeback.
Galloway runs out and nails Bennett with a Claymore and then goes after Lashley as well! Galloway goes for the Claymore again but Lashley sidesteps him and Galloway levels EC3!

Sienna puts Gail in a Straight Jacket Choke but Gail fights back to her feet only for Sienna to back her into the turnbuckles.

Drew Galloway approaches Bennett backstage and says that Bennett just can’t help himself by running his mouth and ruining everything. Bennett says that he could beat every X-Division wrestler if they were lined up for him and he says he can beat Galloway too.

Bennett reminds Galloway that he has beat him before but Drew says if it wasn’t for his “witch of a wife” he never would have.
Eli Drake is in the ring for another “Fact of Life.” This guy is getting more and more over the top each week. He was actually hiding behind the “Fact of Life” table while introducing himself. He tells the fans to do a “dummy yeah” chant with him but when they start he tells them to shutup because he was talking to himself not them.

Drake says that he is happy that Storm decided to “walk it off” instead of driving his “stupid cooler” to the ring. Drake says that Storm has been in TNA since day one and he was one pretty much every title in TNA, but he has been going through a drought recently. He asks if Storm is jealous seeing a guy like Drake winning the KOTM Title. Storm says he has been watching Drake and calls him “Eli Dork” which causes an “Eli Dork” chant to start. Drake gets pissed and starts calling all the fans “dummy” and says that he would like to make Drake’s “dummy” button into a drinking game and says that everytime Drake hits that button they should take a drink. Drake pulls out a jug of water and agrees. Drake says he is the greatest television host ever and he is also the KOTM Champion and asks Storm where his title is! Storm says that he is the guy that has paved the way for punks like Drake to come to TNA. He says that he has busted his ass for the fans and the company and that is his title. Drake makes fun of Storm for being a redneck and says he has a beer belly. He says that Storm couldn’t even win the Knockouts Title and says he better watch his tongue when he standing in front of Drake. Storm says they should change the drinking game up and everytime Drake hits the Dummy Button he is going to slap the piss out of him. Storm and the fans taunt Drake to hit the button but he refuses and says that Storm can’t come on his show and call the shots. He tells Storm to walk away because no one wants to see him anymore and Storm agrees but says there paths will cross one day and he will beat Drake’s ass. Drake throws Storm’s beer out of the ring which pisses Storm off and causes him to hit Drake with a Last Call!

Jeff asks Matt what he needs to end this feud and Matt says that he needs one more match to end it. He says that he needs to win and he must do it so he can have his salvation and redemption. He wants Jeff to give him six weeks to recover from his injuries so they can have their “Armageddon.” Matt suggests a match where the winner gets to control the Hardy name and Jeff accepts it. Reby says she is so sick of this whole thing and she calls Jeff the worst brother ever. She tells Jeff that he broke Matt and he needs to fix this. Jeff tells Reby to jump on her broom and fly away. Jeff says that he will take care of their son since they are obviously both nuts which causes Matt to attack Jeff from behind. Matt drags Jeff into the ring and starts laying into him with a chair.
