Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian defeated Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly to win the ROH Tag Titles at Saturday's television taping in San Antonio. Daniels, Kazarian, and Chris Sabin also revealed themselves to be the masked KRD trio.
Opinionated View- Out of no where title change. You would think if they were going to win the belts they would win be booked better in the weeks before the change. Now as for making them the KRD this could be interesting its a much needed move to breath life back into Kaz and Daniels as team.

11/7 Impact Wrestling Results: Jeff Hardy vs Chris Sabin in Full Metal Mayhem
Impact opens up with Dixie Carter arriving to the arena “moments ago” with Pacman Jones of the Bengals. She runs in to Mr. Anderson and he wants another match with Bully Ray. She says that she can make it happen but he has to do her a favor and “bring it to him.” She introduces Pacman to Anderson and then says they have some business to take care of.
A vignette highlighting the upcoming World Title Tournament and the Full Metal Mayhem Match tonight between Hardy and Sabin. Inside the arena Tenay and Taz hype up the card for tonight. Pacman Jones is shown at ringside along with fellow Bengal DeQuina Evans.
The Main Event Mafia’s music hits and the group comes down to the ring together for the first time in a couple of months (minus Rampage obviously). Tenay points out that Angle, Joe, and Magnus are all involved in the World Title Tournament. Sting says that he reformed the MEM for two reasons to get rid of Bully Ray as World Champion and to keep A&8 at bay and MEM can say mission accomplished now. He says that came with hardships and they faced it all, and it’s been tough on them all. He says that they’ve been talking as a family and as of tonight MEM will be “put back on the shelf” until further notice. He says that they’ve all agreed to this because of the tribulation they’ve been going through and he says that they all have different things going on. Sting says he has to deal with the fact that he was giving one shot only to get back into the World Title picture and he came up short. Sting says that Magnus seized the moment and that’s what the business is about.
Sting says he knows Angle will seize the moment again and become World Champion again. Sting says Joe will become World Champion again one day. He says that Magnus will too seize the moment and finally become World Champion for the first time. Sting says he loves them like his brother and he says now he’s going to deal with something called “entitlement.” Sting says there are certain people in the back that feel like this business owes them something and feel like they should come into TNA and be right on top without having to pay any dues. Sting says he was not taught that way and he has respect for the business especially for those that came before him. Sting hugs each member of MEM and leaves the ring.
Samoa Joe says for the past few months he’s had the backs of the MEM members and it’s been a pleasure but he and the fans have been denied a Samoa Joe championship run for far too long. He says unfortunately the road to that championship starts with Magnus and he’s more than sure it will have to go through Angle. Joe says he considers them friends but he intends on reminding them why they make far better enemies and then leaves the ring.
Magnus says that Kurt is on a “road to redemption” and he appreciates that and applauds it because he is the greatest of all time and he can look Kurt in the eyes when he tells him that, but that road to redemption just so happens to be his road to destiny. Magnus says after he goes through Joe and he comes down to he and Angle if he has to he will mow Kurt down. Magnus says he only has one thing left on his mind and that’s gold, World Championship gold. Magnus says he intends to become the World Champion for the first time in his career and leaves Angle alone in the ring to a smattering of boos before an “Angle” chant breaks out.
Angle says it’s been an honor to run with MEM but Sting is right and they have to go their separate ways and achieve their own goals. Kurt says that his goal just like Joe and Magnus is to win the World Title and win the tournament. Angle says he has to do this to prove that he is HOF worthy. He says last week was another setback because he was told by doctors not to wrestle but he did and got knocked down by Roode again. Angle says he talked to his own doctor this week but before he can say anything else Roode’s music interrupts him.
Roode walks out to the ring and says this whole thing is pathetic and he is embarrassed for Angle. Roode says week after week Kurt makes excuses and tells him to be a man and admit that he lost to Roode twice back to back. Roode tells him to admit it and move on just like Roode is moving on because the World Title Tournament is here. Roode says he is here to tell Angle man-to-man that if he happens to get to the Finals he will have no problem kicking Angle’s ass for a third time. Angle says he has Austin Aries next week first but eventually he does expect to meet Roode in the finals, and when that happens his ass is Angle’s! Angle says maybe he doesn’t want to wait until the finals to kick his ass and then he decks Roode!
Roode and Angle brawl until security and referees run out to break them up. Angle tackles Roode and they continue to try and pull the two apart.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
Back from the break Angle is sitting in a chair in the ring and he says he isn’t going anywhere and that if Roode doesn’t come back out and fight him he’s nothing but a “freaking coward.” Roode obliges him and they meet on the ramp and continue the brawl! Referees and security again come out to separate them along with Al Snow and Simon Diamond. A “let them fight” chant breaks out. Angle breaks away from security and goes after Roode again! Finally Bad Influence run out and hold Roode back as Magnus and Joe come back out and hold Angle back. Angle and Roode continue to talk trash to each other and continue to try and get to each other.
Taz and Tenay talk about Full Metal Mayhem again. Bad Influence talk trash to Pacman Jones and Evans at ringside and even shove them down! Pacman and Evans jump the rail and attack Bad Influence in the ring! They body slam Daniels and Kaz as they attempted suplexes! Marvin Lewis is probably throwing chairs around his living room right about now, can’t believe he was too thrilled seeing that.
Jeff Hardy and Sabin were shown arriving earlier today.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
Turning Point has been announced for November 21st on SpikeTV and the Title Tournament will continue that night.
Backstage Garett Bischoff and Knux are shown arriving when Mr. Anderson approaches them. He says he wants a match with Bully and it has nothing to do with them. He says he gets their loyalty but the best thing that ever happened to him was getting his colors stripped from the club. He tells them to get out while they can.
TNA Knockouts #1 Contenders Triple Threat
Brooke Tessmacher vs. ODB vs. Velvet Sky
Brooke Tessmacher vs. ODB vs. Velvet Sky
Brooke does a little bit of twerking before the match and then Velvet grinds on the ropes. ODB didn’t seem amused so she chest bumps Brooke and then whips Velvet into her. ODB hits a double Bronco Buster in the corner! She covers Velvet for a nearfall and then goes for a Fall Away Slam but Brooke rolls her up for a nearfall. Brooke slams Velvet into ODB knocking her out to the floor and then Brooke chops Velvet. Brooke whips Velvet into the ropes but Velvet bounces back with a series of clotheslines. Velvet hits a back elbow and then a round kick. Velvet hits a Leaping Neckbreaker for a nearfall before ODB breaks it up. ODB hits a Running Powerslam on Velvet! Brooke kicks ODB and then a Swinging Neckbreaker! Brooke climbs up top and hits a Flying Elbow Drop on ODB! Brooke sells an elbow injury as she lands and then we see Gail Kim and Lai’D Tapa walking down the ramp.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
Back from the break all three women are exchanging strikes in the center of the ring. Eventually ODB lays out both of them with forearms. ODB then puts Brooke in a Half Crab and as Taz says, “ODB, she knows crabs.” Velvet walks over and grabs Brooke’s other leg putting her in another Half Crab, so I guess that would make it a Whole Crab. ODB and Velvet forearm each other as they let Brooke go. Velvet gets pissed and hits a series of chops but then ODB takes her down with a shoulder block. ODB slams Brooke on top of Velvet and then she realizes Gail is on the floor. Tapa gets between them and dares ODB to attack. Brooke hits a Slingshot Dropkick through the ropes on ODB on the floor. Brooke punches her repeatedly but then Velvet clotheslines Brooke! Velvet tosses Brooke back into the ring and then tosses ODB in as well. Velvet covers Brooke but only gets a nearfall so she rolls ODB over and pins her for a nearfall as well. Velvet attempts to whip Brooke into the ropes but Brooke counters into a Shortarm Clothesline. Brooke climbs up top and dives off with a Double Flying Cross Body on ODB and Velvet! Gail gets up on the apron with Tapa distracting Velvet. Brooke charges at Velvet but eats a boot and then Velvet goes for the In Yo Face but Gail Kim attacks her.
Winner: NO CONTEST
Gail hits the In Yo Face on Velvet and then Tapa hits the Swinging Stunner on Brooke. ODB knocks Gail out of the ring and exchange strikes with Tapa! ODB hits the ropes but Tapa grabs her by the throat and hits that Spinning Stunner on her! Gail gets on the stick and asks if this is really her competition. Gail says she has beaten everyone and there is no competition left for her in this division and with Tapa by her side she is unstoppable. Gail says as of this moment she is issuing an open challenge for any female wrestler outside of TNA to face her, and if they beat her then she’ll give them a title shot. Gail remains us that she was the first ever KO Champ, the longest reigning champ, and the greatest champ of all time.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
A vignette highlighting AJ’s title win that says “The following is brought to you by The Friends of AJ” is shown. Then clips of his title defense over El Mesias in AAA this weekend are shown as he says he can’t wait to keep taking his title to the fans.
Hardy and Sabin are shown warming up backstage.
Bischoff and Knux talk about what Anderson said earlier and then Bully Ray approaches them and asks what they’re talking about. Ray says he hears and sees everything that goes on involving the club. He says he knows about their little talk with Anderson and Garett says they were going to tell him anyway about that. Ray says he brought the club together for them all not just himself, but Bischoff says it hasn’t been about “us” in a long time. Bischoff asks when the last time they even had a vote and Knux says everything has been just Ray’s decision for the last year. Ray says Knux has never been the brains of the operation and they’re his decision because he’s the president. Bischoff says they have to come together but Knux gets pissed and says he’s sick of all of this. Knux says they’re voting tonight all of them including Taz and he doesn’t care what Ray has to say about it. Ray looks shocked at Knux’s outburst and he tells Bischoff to make sure he votes the right way.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
Dixie Carter is on the phone in her office bitching about the AJ Styles vignette. Whoever it is on the phone says that someone bought the ad time on “local affiliates” (meaning commercials) so there is nothing they can do. EC3 walks into her office and she says that she wants EC3 to pick his opponent this week. EC3 sarcastically says that she has given him some world class talent to pick from and it’s very stiff competition. Dixie reminds him that they are Carter’s and the world needs them.
Garett Bishoff and Knux are in the ring and Bischoff says they are here to have a vote that decides the future of A&8. Knux asks Taz to come into the ring and then Bully Ray comes out. Bully is pissed and he asks the fans if they know who he is, but Bischoff snatches the microphone away and says they all know who he is. He says that Bully has been a poison that has torn A&8 apart because it’s always been about him and his ego rather than the club. He says whether he likes it or not this vote is happening but then Mr. Anderson walks out and interrupts them.
Anderson tells them not to mind him and then laughs and says he just wants to see this in person. Bischoff says his vote is that he’s out and then he takes off his cut and places it on a ring post. Ray says he can always count on Knux and he has been the rock for A&8 so he should do the right thing. Knux says he doesn’t need Ray or the club or the colors and then he takes off his cut as well. Bully says it’s going to be a tie then since they won’t out but they know how Taz and Ray are going to vote and a tie goes to the president. Ray says he votes they keep it right how things are with A&8. Ray says that since Taz is his best friend in the world they all know how he will vote because unlike Bischoff and Knux he knows how to do what his president tells him to do.
Taz takes the microphone and says Bully needs to pump his brakes a little bit. Taz says that they’ve done the right thing their entire careers and he knows the club has rolling to Ray’s agenda and that only. Taz says Bischoff and Knux are right and he’s done. Taz hands over his cut to Bully! Ray losses his mind and tells Taz to put his colors back on now. Taz refuses and tells Bully to make him! Bully looks to Bischoff and Knux but they back out of the ring. Ray tells him one more time to put his colors back on and fall back in line. Taz again tells him to make him do it. Ray gets pissed and says this is all Anderson’s fault and he has screwed everything up.
Anderson says Dixie has already agreed so at November 21st at Turning Point but he doesn’t want to wrestle Bully, he wants to fight him in a No DQ Match! Ray calls him an ungrateful son of a bitch and says that he has hated Anderson since day one. Ray says he’s never understood how a guy like Anderson who respects a guy like Stone Cold so much he can’t believe he forgot the very first rule (don’t trust anybody) and then Knux and Bischoff attack him from behind as Taz puts his cut back on as well! They toss Anderson into the ring and then Knux Big Boots Anderson.
Bully hits Anderson repeatedly with the chain as he says he should never trust anybody. Bully says “when you ride with the Aces and Eights, you never walk alone!”
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
I was just informed by my dad via text that Stanford leads Oregon 17-0 at the half, Roll Tide y’all.
Bobby Roode runs down to ringside and screams at the announcers before grabbing a microphone. He screams that this isn’t over with Angle and he’s going to kick his ass TONIGHT! He screams for Angle to get out to the ring now. As the fans chant for Angle the lights go out and EC3’s music hits.
Ethan Carter III vs. Dewey Barnes
Dewey Barnes is getting his second shot at EC3. Barnes has a big paw print on the ass of his tights, yeah I have no idea. They lockup and EC3 hits Barnes with a knee to the gut and then hits him with a series of rights and lefts in the corner. EC3 whips Barnes into the turnbuckles again and then hits a clothesline. EC3 a suplex as the fans are not having any of this right now. EC3 punt kicks Barnes in the ribs and then does it a second time. As he goes for a third punt Barnes moves and hits a series of jabs followed by a dropkick that sends EC3 into the corner. Barnes mounts EC3 in the corner but EC3 shoves him away and goes for a clothesline but Barnes counters into a Swinging Neckbreaker! Barnes climbs up top and dives off with a Missile Dropkick, but EC3 sidesteps it and then he hits the One Percenter (Headlock Driver).
Winner: EC3 via pinfall (One Percenter)
EC3 reminds us who he is and the world needs Carter’s.
Joseph Park is eating Halloween candy when Bad Influence approach him. Daniels points out how Park wasn’t here last week and Abyss showed up and now Abyss is nowhere to be seen and Park is here. Daniels pours out his candy and then EY shows up. EY suggests a tag match tonight between the two teams.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
Bad Influence vs. Joseph Park & “Showtime” Eric Young
EY and Daniels look to lock up but Kaz hits EY from behind. Bad Influence whip EY into the ropes and then attempt a double clothesline, but EY ducks and then shoves Daniels into Kaz and dropkicks Daniels! EY hits a Spinning Clothesline on Kaz and tags Park into the match. They whip Kaz into the ropes and hit him with a double back elbow. Park hits a Scoop Slam on Kaz and tags EY back into the match. EY hits a diving axe handle off the top on Kaz and then he attempts to whip Kaz into the corner but Kaz reverses it. EY does a headstand on the top rope which irritates Kaz so he charges towards Kaz onto to eat a Headscissors Takeover from EY that sends him out to the floor. EY hits a Suicide Dive through the ropes onto Kaz on the floor! EY tosses Kaz back in and then dives off the top with a Flying Cross Body! 1…2…NO Kaz kicks out! EY attempts to whip Kaz into the corner again but again Kaz reverses it and this time EY flips over the top to the apron. EY hits a shoulder block through the ropes on Kaz but then kicks EY’s legs out from under him and EY crashes hard on the apron face first. Daniels tosses EY back into the ring and Kaz tags Daniels into the match. Bad Influence take EY down to his knees and then Kaz kicks him in the chest and Daniels hits a Sliding Clothesline to his back! Kaz then hits an Elbow Drop and Daniels covers him for a nearfall. Daniels slams EY head first into Kaz’s boot and then he hits a big right hand and lays his knee across EY’s throat. Daniels goes for a Back Suplex but EY blocks it and hits one of his own! Both men are down now. EY gets the hot tag to Park but Kaz had the referee’s attention. Bad Influence puts the boots to EY and then they attempt to whip EY into the ropes, but EY reverses it sending Kaz into the ropes. Kaz goes for a clothesline but EY ducks and he hits Daniels! EY clotheslines Kaz and then finally gets the hot tag to Park! Park clotheslines Daniels and then takes Kaz down as well. Park hits scoop slams on both members of Bad Influence and then he hits a Splash on Daniels in one corner and attempts another on Kaz in the other corner, but Kaz slides through the ropes to avoid it. Kaz climbs up top and dives off with a Missile Dropkick but Park moves out of the way and locks him in a Boston Crab! Daniels clotheslines Park but walks into a huge straight right from EY! EY and Daniels brawl on the outside and Daniels whips EY hard into the ring steps! Daniels grabs the hammer used to ring the bell but the referee takes it away and when he turns around Daniels grabs his appletini. In the ring Park goes for a Samoan Drop but Daniels tosses the drink in his face and Kaz rolls him up! 1…2…3!
Winners: Bad Influence via pinfall (rollup)
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
Kurt Angle comes down to the ring and says Roode was looking for him and he’s waiting for him. Instead Austin Aries walks out and says that with all due respect he’s been watching what’s going on and he understands that Angle’s focus and mind is on Bobby Roode, but next week he isn’t stepping in the ring with Roode he’s stepping in the ring with Aries. Aries says he has nothing but respect for Angle and he knows why they call him a cyborg but he’s also been called a wrestling machine. Aries says if Angle doesn’t bring 100% focus to that ring next week he stands 0% change of beating the greatest man that ever lived. Dixie Carter appears on the big screen and says it’s time to spin the Wheel of Dixie. The wheel lands on Submission Match! Aries says he’ll see Angle next week. Roode runs down the ramp and hits Aries as he comes down and jumps Angle! Roode slams Angel into the ring steps and beats Angle down! Aries hits Roode from behind and starts beating on Roode! Angle pulls Aries off and goes after Roode and then Aries comes back and starts brawling with Angle now! Security finally runs out and separates everyone.

Weapons are set up all around ringside including tables, ladders, chairs, and trash cans. Sabin offers a handshake as the bell rings but goes for a kick instead. Hardy catches his foot and kicks Sabin and then slams him into the turnbuckles. Sabin begs off but then grabs Hardy’s pants and slams him into the turnbuckles. Sabin stomps on him and then whips him into the opposite corner but Hardy floats up into a Spinning Headscissors Takeover! Sabin rolls out to the floor and Hardy hits a Slingshot Dropkick through the ropes followed by a Flying Clothesline off the apron leaping over a table to hit Sabin!

10/17 Impact Wrestling Report: A Bounty on AJ Styles' Head
Impact opens up with highlights from last week and then TNA president Dixie Carter walks out with two members of security carrying a briefcase.
Dixie says that she knows how Michelangelo (he's the ninja turtle with the orange mask, just saying) felt after he completed the 16th Chapel because BFG will be her finest work of art. Dixie says that Michelangelo didn't have to worry about some "redneck" like AJ Styles standing over his shoulder splashing paint all over his masterpiece. She says that, speaking of splattering, Bully Ray splattered AJ last week and he was just too dumb to stay down after Bully beat on him. Dixie asks if AJ wants to leave with even a little piece of integrity left. She says as the leader of TNA it is her job to motivate and her other job is to evaluate and tonight she will do both as "Dixie sucks" and "we want Hogan" chants break out. Dixie says there will be a contract signing for the World Title Match at BFG tonight but asks what if AJ doesn't make it to the contract signing and what if another talent were to take AJ out and get that title shot instead of AJ along with $50,000. Dixie says that AJ may have walked away from the money that she offered last week but she can promise someone will take her money this week and make sure AJ doesn't make it to BFG. Dixie opens up the briefcase and shows the cash and then the A&8 music cuts her off.
Bully Ray walks out with Brooke and he says he and Dixie haven't exactly seen eye to eye over the years and he isn't exactly on "Team Dixie" but $50,000 buys a lot. Bully says he took AJ last week and this week he can do it for 50 g's and he doesn't care who he has to face at BFG.
Magnus walks out and interrupts Bully wearing a "save the tatas" shirt. Magnus says that 12 men over 3 months put their bodies and their careers on the line in the BFG Series for TNA and Dixie to earn a shot at the World Title and just because she doesn't like AJ she will give anyone that is greedy enough to take him out. Magnus says it's no wonder that everyone has been saying "Dixie sucks" right now which starts the chant up again. Magnus says $50,000 might be chump change to her but it's not chump change to him or the "good people in Tulsa, OK." He says she can understand how serious he is when he tells her that he's so sick and tired of her and Bully talking every week that he'll fight Bully for free tonight.
Bully asks Magnus if he knows who he is and people might say that Magnus is the future of wrestling but Bully says Magnus is a fraud and just a "big pretty boy." He says he doesn't have a tough bone in his body and he's a loser and probably the biggest disappointment that he's ever seen that he might as well be from Oklahoma. Magnus decks Bully and Bully retreats out to the floor! Bully screams that if Magnus wants a match against him then he's got it!
Kurt Angle is shown arriving in the back.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
In the back Bully Ray holds a hammer as he talks to A&8. He says that last week felt good how they destroyed AJ Styles and it felt like old times. He says he told them that he would give them the spotlight and the glory and they took it. Bischoff and Knux don't look happy as he talks.

Kurt Angle comes down to the ring and says it feels great to be back. He says Bobby Roode is one of the most talented wrestlers he's ever seen and he reminds Angle of himself, but when he tries to rain on his parade in being inducted into the Hall of Fame he made things personal. Angle says its one thing to think you're "that good" but when you mess with his legacy you dig your own grave. Angle says Roode is one of the best today but he will NEVER be Kurt Angle.
Bobby Roode interrupts Angle and he says that Kurt is right, he's no Kurt Angle. Roode says he's not Kurt but he's okay with that because he doesn't want to be Kurt Angle. Roode says two years ago or five years ago yeah he wanted to be just like Kurt Angle because he was the be all and end all of pro wrestling. Roode says Angle is looking at the guy that is the be all and end all of pro wrestling NOW, Roode. Roode says that Angle is the one that ruined Roode's night last week and Angle knows damn well that Roode is more worthy of the Hall of Fame than Angle is. Roode asks Kurt what he's done lately and the last thing that he can even think of is Angle beating Roode two years ago at BFG. Roode says Kurt did him a favor that night because he woke him up and made him see the light and soon after the "IT Factor" of wrestling was born and he became the longest reigning World Champion in TNA history.

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
Dixie Carter is in the ring with Jeremy Borash and he introduces AJ and Bully for the contract signing. Bully sings the contract and then says he didn't waste any time signing the contract and he'll make it real simple for the redneck. He says that AJ can't beat him and he doesn't have the brains or the passion or the thunder in his fists to beat him. Bully says he's going to give AJ a wrestling history lesson. He says in 1985 Ric Flair destroyed Dusty Rhodes and then a month later Dusty Rhodes returned and told the world how Ric Flair had put him on hard times and how Flair had put wrestling on hard times. Ray fast forwards 30 years later and he says that for the last year and a half he has put the wrestling world on hard times and he started off with Jeff Hardy inside a Steel Cage and became the World Champion, then he defeated Sting at Slammiversary making sure he could never have another shot at the World Title, then ran Chris Sabin back into the X-Division, and then he ran Hulk Hogan out of TNA. Ray says he can see the confusion in AJ's eyes and he says in 3 days at BFG he will put AJ on hard times when he defeats him. Ray says he will put AJ's fans on hard times but most of all he will send AJ home with no contract, no home, and no future because when he gets back to the trailer park he wouldn't be shocked if his family wasn't even waiting on him when he got home. Ray says, "I'm the Darth Vader of the wrestling business... and you ain't no freakin' Luke Skywalker."
AJ says he can appreciate a history lesson but he needs to remind Ray that he is no Ric Flair and AJ is no Dusty Rhodes. AJ says that was in the past and the fact that Ray thinks he can compare himself to someone like Flair says exactly who he is. AJ says Bully is nothing more than a "big dumb bitch" which causes Bully to look shocked that AJ said that. AJ says Bully has no idea who he's getting in the ring with because he has everything to lose and everything to win. AJ says he's the most dangerous, most intense, and most desperate man Bully will ever get in the ring with and he will beat him at BFG and he will make Dixie pay when he's the next World Champion. AJ signs the contract and then Bully stops Dixie from taking the contract. Bully says he isn't going to put his title on the line because he's going to cash in on the bounty and then shoves the podium into AJ! Ray swings the chain at AJ but he ducks and then snatches the briefcase from security and nails Bully with it! AJ throws the money at Dixie which causes her to freak out as AJ stares Bully down.

10/3 Impact Wrestling Results: Hulk Hogan Makes His Choice
Week #2 from the Razorback state opens up with highlights from last week and then the #1 Contender, AJ Styles, makes his way down to the ring. An “AJ” chant breaks out and AJ says he wants to be the first to say that he appreciates Hogan coming out and trying to smooth things over, but Dixie Carter once again shows her true colors. AJ says he’s not here to talk about Hogan and as much as he would love to bury Dixie he isn’t here to talk about her either. AJ says he’s here to talk about his opponent at BFG, Bully Ray. AJ says he knows exactly who Bully is (a play on Bully’s “do you know who I am?!” thing), Bully is the man that AJ is going to beat for the World Title and the man AJ is going to go through to get what he wants. He says on October 20th at BFG it’s put up or shut up time and he’s all in. AJ says his life is on the line because he doesn’t even have a contract anymore, and he hasn’t even seen the belt for over a year. He says he’s hungry for it and people call Bully the most dangerous guy in the company, but he begs to differ.
A&8’s music interrupts AJ and Bully makes his way down to the ring with Brooke Tessmacher. Bully sees AJ’s hat on the ramp and kicks it into the crowd. Bully says Dixie is really in AJ’s head and reminds AJ that he just said that he “hopes” to win the World Title. Bully says if he was a true champion then he would KNOW he is going to win, but because Dixie is so in his head that he even doubts himself. Bully says Dixie is a gorgeous woman, not as gorgeous as Brooke, but AJ doesn’t need to be worrying about her on October 20th. Bully says he better worry about him and then reminds AJ what he did to Hogan, Sting, Hardy, Anderson, and even his own brother. He asks AJ what he thinks he’ll do to AJ and AJ does know who Bully is. Bully says he’s the guy that beat AJ 2 years ago in a Last Standing Match. He says that AJ has nothing he wants but he does have something Bully wants to take. Bully says he wants to take AJ away from the fans which gets a big chorus of boos. Bully says he’s sick and tired of every arena chanting “AJ” which gets an “AJ” chant in response. Bully says after October 20th they won’t be chanting that anymore.
AJ says that Bully is no different than Dixie because he uses people and bleeds them for everything they’re worth, and then kick them to the curb like they never existed. Bully says he takes that as a compliment and AJ is a zero that better hope and pray to his God that he has a shot in hell at beating him, or he’s going to send AJ home without a contract or a belt back to his trailer with his miserable wife and kids. AJ says Bully seems like the one that isn’t focused and maybe he should get focused on his match tonight. Bully says he doesn’t have a match but AJ says Hogan must hate Bully as much as AJ does because he does have a match and Hogan told him who the opponent is. AJ says, “believe me when I say this, he’s going to kill you… Joe’s gonna’ kill you!” Bully Ray freaks out as AJ laughs as he leaves the ring.
In the back AJ approaches Dixie but she cuts him off and reminds him doesn’t have a contract and says he has one final obligation with TNA, at BFG. Dixie asks security to throw AJ out of the building. AJ says he’ll save security the energy because he doesn’t even want to breathe the same air that Dixie is breathing and leaves through the exit.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

Magnus freaks out at ringside and starts throwing around chairs. Sting walks out to the ring and tires to calm Magnus down. Sting says he hates to do this publicly but Magnus is making a public display here so now he’s got to talk to him publicly. Sting tells him to chill and they’ll go backstage and talk about it. Magnus says he’s had enough of all the BS. He says Kurt, Sting, and Joe see “it” in him but he doesn’t have “it” in him. Magnus says when they were given the chance they took it but all he ever can do is get “that” close and blow it. Sting says it doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down but before he can say anything else Magnus interrupts him and says he doesn’t need another pep talk. Magnus says you’re either in or you’re out because this is a results driven business and right now he isn’t getting the results. Sting says he understands it and at one point he needed that one big match too but he didn’t get it by throwing a tantrum. Sting says he reached out and grabbed and Ric Flair gave him his chance. Magnus says he saw it with his own eyes and he looked up to Sting from his first day in the business. Magnus says he came one win away from the biggest show of the year but now nothing. Magnus says Flair put Sting on the map but who’s going to put him on the map. Sting gets in Magnus’ face and screams, “ME! ME AT BOUND FOR GLORY!” Magnus backs away and looks surprised as Sting offers a handshake. Magnus accepts it and the match is set!
Aries approaches Hogan in the back and breaks out a bottle of pills. He says it’s a bottle of vitamins and says he might need some extra vitamins for his decision tonight and maybe some extra prayers. Aries says he knows they haven’t seen eye to eye always but Hogan also gave him his shot at the World Title too and he appreciates that shot he gave him. Aries says Hogan has a decision to make tonight and he knows there has been two Hogans, the red and yellow Hulkster and the black and white Hollywood. Aries says his decision is kind of black and white because there isn’t a lot of gray area here. Hogan smiles and says he gets it.

Hogan comes down to the ring and Dixie thanks him for coming out. Dixie says she knows what an amazing career Hulk has had but she wants to know if he’s ready to take that career to the next level. Dixie says the watch she gave him is a token of what could happen for them, but she has to know if he’s ready to take a ride on the “Dixie train” or is he going to force her to make a decision he will regret. A “Dixie train” chant starts, I’d like to ride that train (just saying).
