Opening Segment
A video recapped the main event of last week’s edition of iMPACT WRESTLING and the world title change.
Bobby Roode comes out to kick off the show. Roode asks the crowd if they are booing him or chanting “Roode.” Roode notes that that is what every one of these morons did last week. He asks the crowd if they hate him because he killed Beer Money, or because he did what anyone would have done if they He says doing the right thing gets you nowhere, and last week he ate James Storm for lunch and the “stupid son of a bitch never saw it coming.” We see Storm watching backstage on a monitor and being held back by security as the crowd chants Cowboy, but Roode continues and says that after Thirteen hard years, opportunities like Bound For Glory and last week only come along every so often, so he made the most of it. Storm knocks out a security guard and comes out from the back, but is stopped on the ramp by security, who quickly tears through all of them and rushes the ring as Roode heads for the hills. Sting comes out of the back and cuts off Roode on his way to the back, telling him that if he needs to look out for himself, Sting would rather take the high road, so he’s going to make a rematch tonight and Roode will have to defend against Storm, and as Storm would say, Sting is sorry about his damn luck. Roode is livid as Storm death stares him from the ring.
AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels will face-off tonight on IMPACT WRESTLING. The Jersey Shore’s Ronnie will team with Television Champion Eric Young to take on Robbie E and Rob “Robbie T” Terry. The new TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions Gail Kim and Madison Rayne will face TNA Knockout Champion Velvet Sky and Mickie James. And don’t forget about the TNA World Title Rematch between Bobby Roode and James Storm!

‘The Pope’ D’Angelo Dinero vs. Crimson
I really wish they’d stop calling sting “The Authority Figure,” it is annoying. Make up a title for him. COO, General Manager, Sheriff, just call him something that sounds more like a boss.

((Jarrett’s Jab – A good match between the two. I loved Rebney on commentary because he seemed to know a lot about the product, even naming the object Daniels has been using lately and putting AJ Styles over. That’s what guest commentators should do. I also look forward to Bellator cross-promoting TNA because it is good publicity for both companies.))
