We start off with a recap of recent weeks as Bobby Roode knifes all his friends in the back and lays out Sting and Jeff Hardy to send a message. Speaking of Sting, he kicks off the show with this week's opening promo and asks Jeff Hardy to join him in the ring. I guess he's coming apart. HAHAHAHAHA. Stint tells Jeff he's been very impressed with the way he's rebuild the bridge of trust after his return from all the personal issues, and they have a lot in common because Sting's been there and made bad chances too. Sting was given a second chance and did everything he could do with it, and he's been literally watching creatures come out of the woodwork. Yes, literally. Sting gives Hardy his 100% endorsement, but the lovefest is interrupted by the World Champion, as well as Kurt Angle and Bully Ray, who showes off his thick muscular legs to the camera and proclaims that Dusty never needed abs. Roode says he doesn't know aboot Angle and Bubba, but he almost threw up back there and asks Sting if he's kidding and wants to know why he's endorsing Hardy and not Bubba, Angle, or himself. He gets in Hardy's face and mocks him until James Storm comes out with Abyss. Storm says it's fine if Angle makes fun of him since people have been doing it since day one, but if he wants to go to Storm's hometown and beat up his friends, he wants to say that he looked into Angle's eyes a few weeks ago and saw a man who wasn't intimidated by anything, but now he looks into Angle's eyes and sees that he's scared because it only takes one Last Call superkick to knock him out. Abyss likes beer too, and he snatches the microphone out of Angle's hand and tells Angle and especially Bubba to shut up because he and the rest of Immortal took advantage of him and now they realize they need him, but he doesn't need Immortal anymore because all he needs is Bubba in the ring at Genesis. He's got Bubba in a Monster's Ball match and he's going to make him pay an suffer for all the sins of Immortal.
Sting says that it looks like we have a main event, a six man tag with the three babyfaces against the three dastardly heels.
Also coming up tonight, Rob Van Dam takes on Gunner, and the finals of the Wild Card tag team tournament! Plus, the Knockouts Tag Team Title is on the line...NEXT!
Madison Rayne and Gail Kim are checking each other out in their bikinis at the pool earlier today when they find Traci Brooks hanging out in the hot tub. Madison gets in her face and Traci attacks her, but Gail jumps into the pool and the two of them try and drown her until Mickie James, also clad in a bikini, jumps in and chases them off. I don't think they could possibly have gotten more gratuitous than that.
Knockouts Tag Team Title Match: Gail Kim & Madison Rayne vs Mickie James & Traci Brooks
Traci goes after Gail and knocks her out to the floor before the bell and then goes outside herself to pummel her while Mickie and Madison duke it out in the ring. Traci whips Gail hard into the steps as Mickie gets a hanging neckbreaker and dumps her out to the floor while Traci sends Gail back inside. Mickie and Traci ping pong Gail with right hands until Traci lays her out with a clothesline. Gail rolls out to the apron so Traci launches Madison at her in such a way that she spears Gail out to the floor and the heels are in trouble as we go to commercial.
We're back and Mickie is casually monkey flipping Madison out of the corner, then snapmares Madison and blatantly runs right over to Gail so she could kick Mickie from the apron. Traci runs over and yanks Gail off the apron and lays her out again as Madison ties Mickie up with a three quarter nelson in the ring. Madison goes for some kind of kick, but Mickie catches her foot and yanks her down into an awkward split. Gail runs in to try and make the save, but Traci spears her out of her boots and Mickie gets an O'Connor roll for 2. Madison shuts Mickie down with a rear chinlock and Mickie tries to escape, but Madison takes her out with a bulldog and tags out to Gail, who comes in and cheapshots Traci off the apron, but Mickie slips past Gail and makes a hot tag. Traci comes in like a house of fire and throws Gail across the ring by the hair, then nails a series of clotheslines and flattens Gail with a clothesline for 2. Madison comes in to interfere, so Mickie comes off the top rope and takes her out with the flying crotch to the face as Gail hits Eat Da Feet on Traci for the win.
Winners: Gail Kim & Madison Rayne
Ric Flair is backstage telling Gunner how awesome he is and what a star he's becoming because he puts people in ambulances. Tonight, they're going to put someone in the hospital again, and...oops, Sting pops up from behind and says that RVD is going out to the ring alone and tells Flair he can't go out with Gunner. Flair says Sting's pushing his buttons, so Sting says that's what he's trying to do and they can watch the match together from the back.
Eric Young is frantically searching around for ODB because they're in the Wild Card Tournament tonight and they're two crazy kids in love. The Mystery Cameraman says they're out of the tournament, but EY just runs off looking for ODB again. Speaking of the tournament, the finals to determine Matt Morgan & Crimson's challengers at Genesis is up next, and Magnus is backstage firing Joe up by saying that there's no more being overlooked because they're going to go out there and win tonight. AJ and Kazarian say that unlike all the other teams in the tournament, they like each other and will have each other's backs and that's how you win tag team titles.
Garett Bischoff is backstage telling Sting how much it means to him to be in the same ring with the TNA wrestlers and he'll make Sting proud tonight. Sting asks him why he's wearing a referee shirt and he says because he's going to referee the next match. Sting tears the shirt off him and asks what he's thinking, and he says Garett's not a referee...he's a wrestler. He hands Garett a pair of boots and welcomes him to the roster.
Eric Young is still backstage looking for ODB and wanders into Gail Kim and Madison Rayne's locker room. They yell at and eventually attack him, so Young stuffs Madison into a locker and runs off.
