This gave Homicide the chance to hit James Storm on the back of the head with the blow torch and Hernandez covered for the pinfall. Afterwards Homicide tries to hit the Gringo Killer on Gail Kim but Petey Williams comes in for the save.
Winner: LAX

Jim Cornette comes out with everyone still in the ring and says that this "gringo white boy has something to stay to all of you." Cornette wasn’t sure if the LAX’s recent actions were some type of publicity stunt of it they really were that bitter. However Cornette believes that burning the flag is simply bad tastes. Furthermore, TNA Wrestling management and fans including the men and women over seas were not happy about it. So with that in mind Cornette decided that the proper course of action would be to strip LAX of the tag team titles. The fans chant “bullshit” at the decision as AMW and Petey Williams celebrate with the American flag in the ring.

Match Seven: NWA World Heavyweight Championship, Sting (C) v. Abyss
- Jeremy Borash was unable to complete his introductions as Sting went straight after Abyss searching for revenge. The rulebook was thrown out seemingly early as Sting used the bat and Abyss a chair. A barbed wire table was set up early in the match as Sting and Abyss battled throughout the iMPACT! Zone. Eventually, the match goes back into the ring and Sting is able to lock the monster Abyss in the Scorpion Deathlock but he gets to the rope. Abyss then came back with a huge Black Hole Slam on Sting, coveres, but Sting kicks out. Abyss pulls out the thumbtacks and eventually chokeslams Sting onto them. The crowd popped for the unexpected spot.

Sting is covered but amazingly kicked out. Sting hulks up and puts Abyss into another Deathlock but Father James Mitchell distracts the referee. Abyss tapped but the ref had his hands full. In disgust Sting seemed to lose himself as he hung Abyss upside with a rope and repeatedly beat Abyss with a chair. That wasn’t all, as afterwards Sting threw Abyss into the barbed wire tables and shoved referee Rudy Charles on numerous occasions. Eventually Charles called for the bell and had the ring announcer call to a confused looking Sting that Abyss has won the match and title via DQ. Mike Tenay mentioned how titles could change hands on a DQ finish in TNA. Father James Mitchell laughs towards Sting as Abyss is handed the World Heavyweight Championship.
Winner: Abyss, via DQ

Joe welcomed him with a headbutt and attempted to open the cut by pulling it apart. The two reversed numerous times but eventually Kurt Angle drops him with a German suplex but couldn’t get the third for the famed Hat Trick.

Joe was able to hit Angle with a muscle buster but Angle kicks out. Angle answers with an Angle Slam to which Joe kicks out. Angle removed the straps and locks in the Angle lock but it is reversed into Joe’s Kohena Clutch. Angle unbelievably reversed it back into the Angle lock.
