TNA iMPACT! Tapings for August 3:
- It was announced by Jeremy Borash backstage that Christian Cage would indeed be in the corner of Sting at the Hard Justice PPV on August 13. NWA World Champion Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner then came out and complained about how Jim Cornette allowed that move to allow Christian in Sting's corner. Jarrett demanded either Cornette or Christian come out to the ring right away. Referee Mark "Slick" Johnson came out instead and informed Jarrett that there would be a mandatory meeting later tonight. The segment finished with Steiner punching out Johnson.
- LAX (Homicide & Hernandez) defeated Jerrelle Clark & Chasyn Rance. After the match, NWA World Tag Team Champions AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels appeared on the screens. Styles said he wanted revenge, but Daniels said AJ wasn't cleared to wrestle yet after he took the Vertebreaker from Homicide. Daniels challenged Homicide to a singles match next week on iMPACT! and Konnan got on the mic accepting for LAX and adding that they would do whatever it takes to get the tag titles.

- Jarrett got on the mic and said he wasn't leaving until Christian Cage came out. Larry Zbyzsko came out instead and said he just got off the phone with Jim Cornette.

The choices: Steiner meets with Cornette face-to-face or Jarrett leaves the building.

Cornette then announced Chris Sabin, Jay Lethal & Sonjay Dutt vs. Kevin Nash, Alex Shelley & Johnny Devine for iMPACT! next week. Cornette then had everyone leave but Christian Cage and Scott Steiner. He announced a singles match between the two next week and if that meant they would take each other out before the PPV, then so be it.
