A one eyed Mick Foley comes out to call out Dixie Carter, Dr. Stevie and Raven. He then makes it clear that vengeance will be theirs tonight. With that, Raven and Dr. Stevie make their entrance into the iMPACT Zone. After a cheesy arsenal of jokes, Stevie makes it clear that they will be the ones who will end the war that Abyss started.

Raven grabs the stick and questions Foley's authoritative decisions, which Foley makes clear that the match is on tonight!

Back on the program, Tenay and Taz give the rundown of tonight's card, including an exclusive interview with Sting about his future with TNA and Hulk Hogan. In the back, TNA World Champion AJ Styles and Kurt Angle talk about tonight's tag team main event when things turn towards a match between the two of them not just for the gold but also to find out who is the better man.

"Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner vs. TNA X Division Champion Amazing Red

As Red's promoter, Don West, voices his grievance about this match, Red shows why he is a fighting champion by taking the fight to Scott Steiner. But Steiner turns the table with an All Around Slam followed by a Gorilla Press Slam. Following his trademark elbow drop and push up, Steiner applies a choke hold before delivering a belly to belly. Steiner refuses to pin him, and he delivers a modified piledriver before going for his steel pipe. He then lands a huge shot over the back with a pipe.

After the bell, Steiner starts decimating Red until Bobby Lashley makes his way to the ring to stop the fight. Steiner sprints out of the ring and avoids the fight, all the while demanding why Lashley came out.

Winner: Amazing Red via DQ

Back on the program, JB is talking to Kevin Nash, who still has possession of the TNA Legends Championship and Eric Young. Nash hands Young back the title. He then explains his actions from Sunday night. He says that by the end of the night, he'll have some answers for Mick Foley in regards to Hulk Hogan after deciding to team up with Eric Young.

Motor City Machine Guns & Beer Money vs. The World Elite

Before the bell, World Elite is informed that if Eric Young leaves the announce table, not only will a DQ happen, but they will be fined 3X the money they make. In the ring, James Storm takes the fight to Kiyoshi before the Guns take the fight to the young Jap.

But World Elite gets control until all hell breaks loose. As Beer Money takes care of Kiyoshi and Sheik, Rob Taylor miscues a clothesline, and the Guns take advantage with a Frog Breaker to pick up the win for them and Beer Money. On the outside, The Elite starts berating Taylor for his actions and continue to insult him all the way to the back.

Winner: Motor City Machine Guns and Beer Money, Inc.

In the back, Kevin Nash has made it clear that if Foley gets him all his money back, he'll answer all the questions about Hogan. But on top of that, Nash informs Foley that when Hogan does come to TNA...he is not coming alone. Following the conversation between Nash and Foley, we get a look at the Hogan Fever that is continuing to spread all over the country.

Back on TNA, Abyss tries to talk some sense into Mick Foley. But Foley has made it clear that he has made his choice, and there's nothing that anyone can do about it.

Hamada vs. TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion Taylor Wilde

With two fan favorites battling it out with similar styles, it doesn't take long for the fans to remain united for both Knockouts. Wilde nails an arm drag, but Hamada bounces back with a DDT. Wilde recovers long enough to get dropped again with a Lucha Kick. Hamada nails the moonsault, but Taylor manages to kick out.

Both women battle it out with near fall after near fall until Hamada nails the Enzugiri. Hamada goes for the Hamada Driver, but Wilde counters only to get kicked in the cranium and dropped with the Hamada Driver to pick up the loss over the underdog known as Hamada.

Winner: Hamada

In the back, Abyss has barricaded Foley's door to prevent him from heading out for their tag match.

Tag Team Grudge Match

Raven & Dr. Stevie vs. Abyss & ???

With Foley locked in his office, Abyss takes the fight to both men. All three men battle on the outside as the match becomes sort of a handicap match. It doesn't take long for Abyss to start showing signs of the abuse as both men tag in and out to unleash even more punishment. But Abyss shrugs off the punches and levels both men in the corner.

Abyss delivers a huge splash before attempting the chokeslam. Abyss delivers the Shock Treatment to Stevie before turning his attention to Raven. But the ref catches Raven about to deliver another fireball and issues the DQ. But the abuse is far from over. Raven nails the Evenflow DDT on The Monster before the duo decide to hang Abyss out to dry.

They begin choking the life out of Abyss as TNA goes to break (why the %$#@ would they do that?!).

Winner: Abyss

Back on the program, ODB's Talk Show returns with special guest Homicide. The newest WE member makes it clear that he has Suicide by the mask since he knows who is behind the mask. Also, Tomko makes a huge return to TNA when The Beautiful People arrive to continue their cheerleader tirades. (Remember those girls you wanted to shove into lockers when you were in high school? Exactly.)

Alissa Flash vs. TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion Sarita

Sarita takes the fight to her former rival until she miscues a splash and gets dropped for her troubles. Flash takes the fight (all the while playing with her zipper) with a series of punches. But Sarita bounces back with a belly to belly to stop the assault. The two exchange kicks before Sarita drops her with a springboard dropkick. Flash drops her with a huge back suplex, but Sarita continues fighting. Sarita finishes her off with a flipkick and knocks Flash unconscious to pick up the win over Flash.

But on the outside, Traci Brooks sprints down and beats the holy hell out of Alissa Flash on the runway. In the back, Foley gets ambushed by Dr. Stevie and RAven as they decide to hang him as well.

Winner: Sarita

Six Man Tag Team Street Fight

IWGP Tag Team Champions Team 3D & Rhino vs. D'Angelo Dinero, Matt Morgan & Hernandez

The three young guns come out firing as they take the fight to all three members of the ECW Originals. Hernandez aims for the boys outside, but Brother Ray drops him with a huge clothesline. After taking out Ray, Super Mex goes flying, taking out Brother Devon and Rhino before the toys come flying into the ring.

The Pope and Brother Ray take the fight into the ring with Dinero nailing him with lids over and over again. All six men are on the outside taking the fight to each other until Morgan and Devon are in the ring with the toys of ECW. The men exchange time in the ring as Rhino and Super Mex make their way into the ring. Following a huge splash from Hernandez, all hell continues to break loose.

Following a huge elbow drop from The Pope, the real wood is brought out as Morgan sets up a table on the outside. On the inside, The Pope is laying out Devon when Morgan is laid out. On the inside, following a 3D, Hernandez lays all of them out with a spear and a GORE! of his own. As he goes for the victory, the ref is pulled out, which allows a returning Jesse Neal (with a new look and a bigger mohawk) to lay Hernandez out with a steel chair. A proned Rhino rolls over and picks up the win for the ECW Originals.

Winner: The TNA Wrecking Crew

Back on the program, we are informed that a scheduled interview with Sting did not take place at his home in Dallas, Texas due in large part to Sting not even being there. Does that mean that The Icon has already made his decision??? Or does that mean that there is more to this story than meets the eye?

TNA Featured Contest/Main Event

Desmond Wolfe & Daniels vs. Kurt Angle & TNA World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles

Angle and Daniels start off the main event, with Daniels getting the early advantage. But Kurt bounces back with a series of uppercuts before tagging in Desmond Wolfe, who Angle is calling into the ring. Wolfe refuses to tag, but AJ Styles wants a piece of Daniels. But Daniels tags Wolfe in before launching out of the ring.

Wolfe and Styles go lock for lock before Styles delivers the Phenomenal Dropkick and a backbreaker. Styles then tags in Angle, who wants a piece of The Wolfe. In the corner, Daniels gets a shot in on Angle before Wolfe takes the fight to Angle's lower left arm. Daniels then gets the tag and comes in to punish Angle as well.

The Ring of Honor reject gets a crash course in wrestling from the Professor of the Wrestling Arts, Kurt Angle. Daniels comes in to get dropped by Angle with a Belly to Belly. Both men are able to tag in but it is Styles that delivers the assault as he nails a huge backbreaker followed by the Pele. Wolfe hits the Tower of London, but Styles kicks out. After he gets tagged in, Daniels hits the BME to pick up the upset win over the TNA World Heavyweight Champion.

Sorry, Daniels, but Wolfe did the hard part, and you picked up the pieces. That does not give you a one on one shot at Styles. But I may have a solution to the problem.

Tune In Next Week...

Winners: Desmond Wolfe & Daniels
