We kick off with a video package recapping Robert Roode's recent heelishness, then we're off to the arena as the World Champion, fresh off a tainted win over AJ Styles at Turning Point, comes to the ring to address his fans. He says he was the star of Fortune and was always the leader and future of this company, and he always let the rest of them ride his coattails, but there was always going to be a time when he would go out on his own and scrape them off his shoe like the pieces of crap they are. It's time for Fortune to become men and grow a set, because Bobby Roode will not let them stand in his shadow any longer. James Storm's music hits and he comes out to the top of the ramp to have a word with his former partner. He's not the kind of redneck to stand in the shadow of a dumbass, and he wants an excuse for why Roode jumped him, and if he doesn't get it in three seconds, he's going to put his beer down, come to the ring, and kick his ass. Roode doesn't respond, so Storm starts walking and THEN Roode says to wait and has security hold him back while Roode says he didn't jump Storm. He wouldn't have to stoop so low to beat him, and he was in the locker room the entire time and there were a bunch of guys there to vouch for him. Storm says he's going to find out tonight who jumped him, and Roode's guilty by association so he's going to kick his ass for the hell of it. Storm is again restrained by security, and AJ comes out of the crowd and attacks Roode from behind as security leaves Storm and runs into the ring to pull AJ off of Roode. AJ gets a microphone, and we'll hear from him...NEXT!
AJ tells Roode that he turns his back on Fortune and screws them in the process and that makes him a piece of trash. AJ thought putting his foot down Roode's throat would satisfy him, but it didn't because Roode can take a hit, but what would make AJ feel a lot better would be beating him for the World Title. Roode says he already beat him fair and square in the middle of the ring and it's time for AJ to go back to the trailer park and work his way back up because he could have beaten AJ all night long. Security is going nuts trying to pull them apart as Sting comes out of the back and says he's feeling extra crazy tonight, and he's going to let Storm recover tonight, and since Roode thinks he can beat AJ all night long, we'll test that theory at Final Resolution when he defends the title against AJ in a 30 minute Ironman match. Oh, and by the way, did he mention that AJ is a former Grand Slam Champion?
We go to Taz and Mike Tenay to intro tonight's show, but quickly cut back to ringside as an irate Bobby Roode goes after Dixie Carter in the front row. AJ comes to make the save, but Roode throws Dixie at AJ and sends them both tumbling to the floor and repeatedly punches AJ in the head while Dixie is pinned underneath him until Sting and security come out and pull him off.
We go backstage where Samoa Joe comes up to James Storm and says he should listen to his buddies because he saw Roode backstage the whole time. Storm asks Joe if he had something to do with it, and Joe says he didn't because if he came after Storm, he wouldn't get back up. He shoves Storm in the head, and Storm responds by going after Joe until security (who is having a very busy night so far) again has to come forcibly separate them.
Now Bobby Roode is walking around backstage and Sting comes up to him and shoves him into the wall. Attacking Dixie Carter is like attacking him, and tonight, we're doing things his way. Roode says if Sting puts his hands on him like that again, he's going to get his lawyers to sue him for everything he's got.
To the ring for our opening match...
TV Title Match: Robbie E vs Devon
Devon just tears into Robbie right from the opening bell, taking him out with clotheslines and then beating him down in the corner. Devon hits a running clothesline into the corner and a flying shoulderblock followed by a side suplex for 2. Robbie T jumps on the apron to try and distract Devon, but Devon sees Robbie E coming and dumps him over the top rope. The Pope comes down to ringside and gets into it with Robbie E as Devon tosses Robbie E back into the ring and Robbie T lays out the Pope. Devon gets a neckbreaker as Robbie T goes after Devon's kids, and Eric Youngcomes out and nails Rob Terry with a chair. Devon's kids jump the rail as Devon hits a spinebuster on Robbie, but Devon forgoes the cover to go yell at his kids. Robbie takes the opportunity to roll Devon up for 3.
Winner: Robbie E
Devon grabs his kids by the neck, but they shove him off and go to check on the Pope as Devon just looks speechless.
We go backstage where Sting asks Garret Bischoff how he pulled off what he did last week with Gunner, and Garret says he might not be as green as his dad thought. He asks Sting for an opportunity, and Sting says he'd think about it. Garret walks off as Matt Morgan and Crimson walkby laughing about kicking each other's asses at Turning Point. Sting says since there's no good teams in the company right now, how about the two of them team up and challenge Mexican America for the title tonight? Crimson says he's in, but Morgan is noncommittal. Sting says to say so if he's scared, but Morgan thinks a moment longer and says he's in.
Ric Flair is backstage complaining to Eric Bischoff about something when Sting comes in to tell Bischoff he rewrote his contract. Bischoff says he's a man of his word and he let Sting rewrite it, but that's as far as it got because he never said he'd sign it. Sting says he can't get rid of him, though he could just drop him on his head on the concrete and he wouldn't get up for a month. But instead, he says that Garett wanted to get back in the ring with Gunner, and eventually he'll have his hands around Eric's neck because unlike Eric, Garett can wrestle. Eric can be in Gunner's corner, but he'll be in Garett's corner.
Kid Kash & Austin Aries vs Jesse Sorensen & Brian Kendrick
Sorensen was a house of fire right from the start, going after Kash and wiping him out with a pair of high knees. Kash tried to pop Sorensen into the air, but Sorensen came down with a Rocker Dropper and came off the top with a flying bodypress for a VERY close 2. Kendrick tags in and gets Kash in a camel clutch so Sorensen can come off the ropes with a baseball slide to the face for 2. Kendrick with a dropkick to Kash and a flying forearm, but Kash dodged a dive off the second rope and Kendrick hit the mat hard. Kash went to tag Aries, but Aries refused to tag out and Kendrick small packages Kash for 2. Kendrick dropkicks Kash out to the floor and wipes him out with a slingshot dive over the ropes as Aries lures Sorensen into the ring so he can hit a heat seeking missile through the ropes onto Kendrick. Kendrick kicks Aries off and tries an enziguiri, but Aries ducks and fires Kendrick head first into the middle turnbuckle. He tags in Kash and they have words long enough for Kendrick to crawl over and tag in Sorensen, who takes Kash out with dropkicks and a Northern Lights suplex for 2. Kash catches Sorensen with a right hand and goes to tag Aries again, and tags him with a slap to the face. Aries gets into the ring and immediately tags right back out and drops off the apron to head for the back. Kash is by himself now and misses a top rope moonsault, and Sorensen finishes with a rolling neckbreaker.
Winners: Brian Kendrick & Jesse Sorensen
