Aces and Eights are seen riding into the Impact Zone parking lot and from there we are seen all of Aces and Eights attacks and distractions are shown and the challenge Sting made for next week.
Inside the Impact Zone, Sting makes his way to the ring, followed by Kurt Angle, Gunner, Devon, Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles, Mister Anderson, Bobby Roode, Robbie E, Christopher Daniels, and the TNA World Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries. Sting says it’s amazing how a group of people can come together under circumstances like this. Sting shows still shots of everyone that was attacked while the fans chant “We want Hogan.” Sting announced that everyone here is ready to fight and all the victims want to fight and invites James Storm to the ring. James Storm talks about how all the evidence was stacked against them and now that he’s cleared of all guilt and wants to turn this wrestling show “into an ass-whipping show.”
Sting says that he knows the fans want Hogan and asks where Aces and Eights are. Two members of the group makes their way to the ring through Tara’s old motorcycle entrance and Sting demands Robbie E to let them in. Kurt Angle and James Storm beat the living hell out of these two members and one is unmasked to show some guy with thinning hair and a bloody mouth. Sting asks where are the rest of the. The guy says thank you and said he just got patched in. He says that “You all are in for a long painful night” Sting gave him a hard gut shot and Angle started stomping as we head to commercial. ((Jarrett’s Jab – Aces and Eights were promised all week last week for eight o’ clock tonight, and we technically got them. It’s a good idea to tease the group and hook people in for the rest of the night))

-Commercial Break-
Sting is in the back and tells Aces and Eights that they must know their way through the arena and challenges them to come find him and he’ll deal them the Deadman’s Hand before laughing and walking backwards slowly.
A recap of the whole Claire Lynch saga is shown and Jeremy Borash is in the ring and says that he is here to announce the results of the paternity test and introduces AJ Styles.

She tells Daniels to get his hands off of her before starting to read the statement.
She says in January 2012, she was approached by Daniels and Kazarian to be part of a scheme to frame and blackmail AJ Styles.

She even put sedatives in a cola beverage to render AJ unconscious to be able to take the AJ Photos were taken to perpetuate the fraud and create the blackmail. She says that she is ready to take responsibility for her action. She regrets naming AJ as the person responsible for her pregnancy. She says that Claire was never pregnant.

AJ nails Daniels with an enzeguri and then Kazarian gets out of the ring before Styles can do anything to him.
((Jarrett’s Jab – I’m still surprised that the crowd was loving it that much, at least the Impact Zone did, because everyone else hated it. Daniels is the only reason this storyline was barely watchable and I hope that TNA rewards him down the road for being the best part of this horrible storyline.))

A video for tonight’s Gut Check participant, Cris Lewie played, typical sob story video.
We see three of the members of Aces and Eights walking in the back and Sting stops them and wants to know if they are playing games.

Hogan tells them if they look at his daughter again, he will rip out their hearts and feed them to his dogs. Hogan snarls and Sting exclaims “Hollywood, you’re back!” Hogan turns around and he has the black beard. ((Jarrett’s Jab – Wait a sec, didn’t you spend a year trying to get Hogan to not be Hollywood? I’m confused why you’d want him back all of a sudden.))

Gunner gets to his feet and quickly gets the advantage with knees to the gut, but misses a right hand and nails a drop kick for one. Taz says on commentary that Louie needs to try and string a few moves together to be more successful as Gunner hits a forearm to the head of Louie. Tenay asks Taz as a judge what is his first thoughts.

Louie goes to the top and misses a headbutt. Gunner hits his fireman carry facebuster for the win.
Winner by Pinfall: Gunner
((Jarrett’s Jab – Standard match with your sob story contestant getting a little offense. Next week, he’ll get in, and the imaginary 87% of TNA fans will bitch because Joey Ryan isn’t on TV. Same garbage, different month.))
Mister Anderson is shown walking backstage.

ODB is talking backstage on a phone to ODB, by the way they still have those red belts that haven’t been defended since May (I think.) She plugs his show on the Animal Channel and talks about chick and the great lakes. She asks someone out of camera range how old he is and chases after him.
Mister Anderson says that tonight is his last Bound for Glory Series match and introduces his opponent: Bully Ray.

Anderson misses a clothesline but he does not miss the Mic Check and he gets the three count.
Winner by Pinfall: Ken Anderson (Gains 7 Points, Currently has 47 Points)
((Jarrett’s Jab – Great match but it made no sense why Anderson didn’t go for a submission hold once, since that was his only chance of getting in the top four. Granted someone could get injured, or someone in the top four could get disqualified in a match and lost ten points, but it makes no sense.))
We go to the Aces and Eights Clubhouse. They have been planning their game. In three minutes and thirty seconds, they will unleash hell and they will do what they do best. They will give out the Deadman’s Hand.
-Commercial Break-
We are back and Sting’s music plays and he comes to the ring with Austin Aries, Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, Devon, Ken Anderson, Rob Terry, Robbie E, Gunner, Rob Van Dam, and more.
Sting tells Aces and Eights that they said three and a half minutes, and it must be three and a half minutes by now. Sting tells the group that they are waiting for them to come out and the victims are ready.
Sting says that they are not going to pull a no show again. The people in the Impact Zone want Hogan. Sting says that maybe they need an Aces and Eights chant.
We see some of the members of Aces and Eights come to ringside down the ramp. We see more come to the ring from the Motorcycle entrance and we have pandemonium in and out of the ring but the TNA roster is in control of things. The members of Aces and Eights try to hide their identities and then they start their retreat since they are badly outnumbered.
We go backstage and we see Hogan and Storm fighting off some of the members of Aces and Eights. A.J. Styles joins in the attack. There is a brawl going in the parking lot, but we see a few of the wrestlers alone in the ring. Aries with a suicide dive onto a few members of Aces and Eights. Then the other eight or ten try to go after Van Dam and Hardy.
We see a larger member of Aces and Eights clothesline Aries. They bring a part of the guardrail and put it on the turnbuckles. Aries is held to the guardrail and they hit his arm with a chair.
They stand over Aries and Bully Ray makes his way to the ring and the members of Aces and Eights leave the ring.
The group ride off on their motorcycles to close off the show.
((Jarrett’s Jab – I was shocked that the Impact Wrestling roster was able to hold them off for so long, but the ending with Aries definitely makes them a threat. Bully Ray making his late entrance to the ring is suspicious looking and he might be accused by Aries of leading the Aces and Eights. You never know, they could figure out that the leader is actually smart and already arranged for himself to get beaten down so he wouldn’t be suspected. Common Sense strikes again.))
