– Team 3D & Johnny Devine defeated The Motor City Machineguns & TNA X Division Champion Jay “Black Machismo” Lethal in a Six Man Tag Team Tables Match. There are lots of tables setup at ringside. Big spot early on saw Shelley, Sabin and Lethal all dive over the top rope and take out Team 3D and Devine. 3D slid a table into the ring and it hit Lethal who was standing at ringside. Shelley and Sabin responded by dropkicking the table into the face of 3D. Shelley and Sabin also went after Devine with some double-team moves. Ray moved a table that was setup when Sabin and Lethal hit Brother Devon with a suplex. 3D took out Shelley and Sabin later on with a big double-team slam and leg drop. They did a referee bump when Lethal charged at Ray, but Ray moved and Lethal took out the referee. Lethal got a kendo stick and started hitting Devine with it, but Devine on a table and then connected with the flying elbow from the top to break the table. The finish saw 3D take out Lethal, Shelley and Sabin with the X Title and 3D put Devine on top of Lethal over the broken table when the referee came to, so the referee gave the win to 3D and Devine.
– Backstage, Crystal was with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. Hall hasn’t arrived to the PPV yet. Nash assured Joe that Hall would be there. He then started joking about how the only reason he was hanging out with Kurt Angle was to be around his wife Karen. Joe took the mic and said the critics of Nash are true. He said when Hall shows up and he wants to get serious, he can find him in his locker room. Nash called Joe a super serious Samoan.
– Angelina Love & Velvet Sky defeated ODB & Roxxi Laveaux. Tenay and West had a conversation about what ODB stood for (One Dirty Bitch). During the match, Sky gave ODB a wedgy. ODB gave the referee a wedgy as well. ODB put Sky in a tree of woe in the corner and stepped on her. Sky and Love give Roxxi a double Russian Leg Sweep to get the win. The finish saw Love kick Roxxi as Sky held her to get the win.
– Backstage, Jeremy Borash is with Kurt Angle as Angle goes to confront Christian Cage. Borash tries to get Angle to calm down by doing a breathing technique. He said he learned it from Karen. Kurt tells him to stay away from his wife. Angle goes in and talks with Cage, saying he and Roode can join the Alliance. Angle talked about how they don’t have to like each other, but that they could co-exist and that he would be the leader of the group. Cage said that all sounds good except for the last part. Cage left and told Roode to follow his lead. Roode called Cage an asshole when he left, to which Ms. Brooks said that it takes one to know one.
– Eric Young defeated James Storm. They worked an angle before the match where Jackie Moore didn’t allow Storm to have any beer before the match. When Young got in a series of offense on Storm during the match, Tenay and West wondered if it had to do with Storm not getting his usual dose of beer. The action spilled to the outside of the ring and Storm worked on Young’s shoulder against the ring post. Storm then continued to work on Young’s shoulder for the rest of the match. Storm attempted a superkick, but Young countered and hit a powerslam. The finish saw Jackie try to spit beer in the face of Young, but Young dodged it and she spit it in Storm’s face instead. Storm then took the beer bottle, drank some of it and then tried to hit Young, but the referee took it away and Young rolled up Storm for the win. Orlando crowd was really into the match.
– Mike Tenay and Don West previewed the rest of the card tonight.
– Backstage, Crystal was with LAX. Homicide was upset about TNA not giving them a title shot lately and that they are going to start taking what they want. Crystal brought up the Latino Nation member taking out Christy Hemme recently and how that may not have helped matters.
– The “Feast or Fired” match is up next. Four briefcases will be hanging from four corners of the ring and the winner must get the briefcase and have possession by having their feet planted on the floor.
