Opening scene from Jim Cornette’s office. Kurt Angle walks in and Cornette asks him to arrive ar ringside when asked.
“Now, why would I wanna do anything for you?,” Kurt asks.

“You got me there, Ill be there…” Kurt says.

Match Two: James Storm, Chris Sabin, AJ Styles v. Rhino, Chris Daniels, P. Williams

AJ Styles, Chris Sabin & James Storm defeated Petey Williams, Christopher Daniels & Rhino when Sabin pinned Daniels.

Jeremy Borash has a sit down interview with the “Wildcat” Chris Harris. In a reply to a question about his health, Harris says that he has a high risk of losing his sight in his right eye. Wildcat is not sure if he can return to the ring. Harris admits that he is upset and confused as to why Storm would end AMW in such a manner, especially after their four year successful history in TNA Wrestling.

The Voodoo Kin Mafia find themselves looking for the Alamo in Texas in search of Michael Hickkenbottom (HBK). However, Kip James managed to screw things up again, leading the multiple time Tag Team Champions to an Alamo Car Rental dealership. Luckily, VKMs find the Alamo but despite all of their antics find no trace of the healthier half of WWE’s DX.

Match Three: Tomko v. Abyss
Cornette seems to believe that it is only fair that Christian is placed in the penalty box for the duration of this match where he cannot interfere in Tomko’s match. Christian arrogantly asks who is going to force him into there. Kurt Angle - giving Cornette his favor - walks to the ring as backs Cage into the box allowing the match to begin.

Abyss and Tomko fight heavily outside the ring as an interested Jim Mitchell looks on. Tenay and West remind fans that Sting has done a good job of getting into The Monster’s head reminding him that he is a man despite all of Jim Mitchell’s brainwashing. Back inside the ring, Tomko blocks one choke slam, but gets one in after a power exchange between the two behemoths. Meanwhile, ringside Kurt Angle watches Cage while keeping an interested eye on the match. Then, Samoa Joe runs in and blindsides Angle.

A scuffle ensues allowing Christian Cage to grab the keys to unlock the box. Back inside the ring Abyss hits the Black Hole Slam but the potential winning pin fall is broken up by Cage forcing referee Rudy Charles to call for the bell.
Winner: No Decision

Security runs Kurt Angle and Joe backstage while Sting appears inside the ring to fend off the attack of Tomko and Cage. When all is left done, Sting and Abyss stand raised hands in the center of the ring when all of a sudden Abyss turns on the legend, apparently deciding to take Jim Mitchell’s side.
