- Jay "Black Machsimo" Lethal & Sonjay Dutt defeated Triple X & Motorcity Machine Guns (Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley) in a Triple Threat Tag Team Match. The match kicked off with all three teams brawling. They continued to go to shots of the front row showing "reserved seats" for Karen Angle and a guest. Lots of fast paced action involving Lethal, Shelley and Sabin in between tags. On the outside, Senshi connected with a big scoop slam on Lethal.

The finish saw Lethal get the pinfall on Daniels with an inside cradle.

- Kazarian defeated Raven (w/ Martyr & Havok). Before the match, Raven (who was joined by Martyr & Havok) told Kazarian he could rejoin Serotonin and all would be fine. Kazarian looked to rejoin them, but took out Raven instead. This led to continued interference by Martyr and Havok during the match. In the ring, Raven sent Kazarian chest first into the corner. When Kazarian bumped off, Raven took him out with a big sitdown clothesline. Kazarian fought back with some quick right hands in the corner. Raven got a singapore cane and used it on Kaz with the referee apparently distracted. The finish saw Raven attempt a DDT, but Kazarian countered and hit a big boot to get the pinfall on Raven for the win.

- Backstage, Jeremy Borash attempted to tell Kurt Angle what he saw in Samoa Joe's locker room earlier involving Karen Angle and an unidentified man. Angle asks Borash where she is. Borash informs him and Angle storms off blaming Samoa Joe for all of his problems.

- A video package ran hyping the Rhino vs. James Storm "Barroom Brawl" tonight.

- James Storm defeated Rhino in a Barroom Brawl. TNA has a small bar setup outside of the ring. James Storm was out first and poured beer over a dummy bartender behind the bar. Mike Tenay said this was an anything goes match. The match kicked off with the two brawling into the Orlando crowd. Rhino cracked open a beer at the bar and drank it. Rhino also sprayed some beer on Jackie Moore at ringside. Rhino sent Storm right into the bar with a big back body drop. A toilet that was also setup for a "bar atmosphere" nearby saw Rhino stick Storm's head inside. Rhino brought a ladder, steel chair and trash can into the ring. Rhino attempted a Gore on Storm through a table, but Storm stepped away and Rhino crashed through it. Storm covered Rhino right away after this, but Rhino was able to kick out. Storm takes out Rhino with a steel chair and follows that up with a big superkick. The finish saw Storm take out Rhino with a beer bottle shot to the head to get the win.

Hector Guerrero ran down and told referee Earl Hebner what happened. The match was restarted and not much longer later, Homicide rolled up Kip for the pinfall. After the match, LAX and Hector Guerrero had some words for each other.

- Robert Roode defeated Eric Young in a Humilation Match. During Eric Young's entrance, they go to a shot of what looks to be members of the police department saying that since "Pacman" Jones is around, you never know what is going to happen. Lots of quick offense in early by Roode on Young. A shot of Ms. Brooks smiling showing off her chest was shown at ringside. Roode kept up the offense on Young connecting with a big scoop slam followed by a knee drop from the top rope over the head. Young fired back with some powerful right hands on Roode. Big spot saw Young get Ms. Brooks on his shoulders as Roode was up on the top rope. Roode broke it up and attempted the Payoff, but Young countered that into a rollup with the referee distracted. The finish saw Ms. Brooks pass some brass knucks to Roode allowing him to hit Young with them to get the pinfall. After the match, Roode tossed Young over the top rope and said it was humiliation time. Gail Kim ran out to prevent anything from being done to Young. It ended with Roode accidentally taking out Ms. Brooks with a right hand and Young kicking Roode up the ramp. Young and Kim tar and feathered Ms. Brooks as Roode looked on from the ramp.

Rhodes pushed away the referee when he tried to prevent more brawling on the outside. A second TNA referee comes out to get involved. Rhodes takes out both referees. Referee Earl Hebner comes down and calls for the bell when he can't control Rhodes either. TNA security then starts hitting the ring and Rhodes takes them all out. Rhodes pulls out a black spike and proceeds to bust open Harris with it. Rhodes finally backs off when Sonjay Dutt, Jay Lethal and Kazarian come out to help Harris.

- A video package runs highlighting The Steiner Brothers vs. Team 3D tonight.

- Back live, Mike Tenay introduced Adam "Pacman" Jones into the Impact Zone live on Pay Per View. Tenay asked him why TNA and Jones said he came here because he is a trend setter. Jones said his goal in TNA is to show he is the best team player. Ron Killings' music hits and he comes out. Killings welcomed Jones to the "Snake Pit" in Orlando. He told Jones that pro wrestling was about individuals, not team players. Killings said no one has his back in TNA and mentions that Jones' contract with TNA doesn't allow him to be touched. He tells Jones to watch his back and Jones responds saying he doesn't talk, he walks the walk. Killings starts to appoach Pacman when the police inside the Impact Zone hold him back.

The person gaining the pinfall tonight will become the #1 contender for the TNA World Title. Abyss was out first for his team and the heels went after him. We eventually get everyone in the ring and Sting busts open Tomko with a steel chair shot. A shot was shown backstage of Adam "Pacman" Jones being taken away on a stretcher.

- Kurt Angle defeated Samoa Joe in a "Winner Takes All" match to claim the TNA World, X Division & Tag Team Titles. Samoa Joe had his usual Samoan PPV ring entrance. During Kurt Angle's entrance, he gave off an appearance of still not being right. Karen Angle and what appears to be the new man in her life come out to the ringside area to view the match. Mike Tenay mentioned that the winner of this match tonight will face Abyss next month at No Surrender. During the match, Joe pulls down Angle's trunks and exposes his butt to the crowd in Orlando. Karen and her "new man" laugh at Angle. Angle leaves the ring and gets in her face. Karen throws champagne in Angle's face. Back in the ring, an upset Angle goes after Joe.
