One briefcase holds a World Title shot, one holds a Tag Title shot, one holds an X-Division Title shot, and one holds a pink slip. The bell rings and everyone goes at it. Crazzy Steve almost reaches one of the briefcases but Velvet Sky distracts him by shaking her ass and then kissing him. Robbie E hits Steve from behind and then Velvet pulls the briefcase down and gives it to Robbie E! Robbie wins the first briefcase. Steve gets pissed and chases Robbie and Velvet to the back. Spud almost reaches one several times but Jessie keeps pulling him down and taunting him. Magnus and Bram have some miscommunication and Bram accidentally hits Magnus.

—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-

In the back Magnus says he is feeling good about his chances with the briefcase but Bram walks up and screams at his buddy that he screwed him over. Magnus tells Bram to get out of his face and says it was every man for himself and reminds Bram that it was him that got Bram employed in TNA. Magnus tells Bram to grow up and they start shoving each other as Bram screams that he is going to rip Magnus’ head off with security pulling them apart.

Lashley comes down to the ring as footage of the BDC beating Lashley down last week is shown. Lashley tells MVP to bring him his title, now. Kenny King walks out and says that Lashley couldn’t make it in the BDC because he was an ungrateful, unappreciative son of a gun. He says that he will teach Lashley a lesson and he reminds Lashley that he had help winning the title in the first place, and that they are no longer family. King says every member of the BDC are potential World Champions and he says everyone knows that he would be a better champion than Lashley. Lashley again tells him to bring him his title but King suggests they fight instead. King says he doesn’t want to wrestle in front of a bunch of jerks that don’t appreciate him so he would appreciate it if his BDC family come join him at ringside and watch him beat Lashley. The rest of the BDC walk out with MVP carrying the World Title on his shoulder.

Bobby Roode approaches Kurt Angle in the back and tells Kurt that he couldn’t care less about the tag match tonight because he wants EY one-on-one.

—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-

Josh Matthews, on camera, sets up the next match talking about the history between Roode and EY.

Backstage Rockstar Spud says when he first came to TNA he was a “gopher” doing everything the Carter’s wanted and now he is holding a briefcase that could potential give him a World Title or fire him. Spud says that if he is fired then he is going to walk up to EC3 and punch him in the face. He says this could be the biggest moment of his life or the end of his career.

“The World Warrior” Low-Ki & “Showtime” Eric Young vs. “Olympic Hero” Kurt Angle & “The IT Factor” Bobby Roode

—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-

MVP is shown on the street talking trash about Lashley saying that if he is man enough to come take his title back then he is waiting on him.

The history between EC3, Spud, and JB is shown in a video package.

EC3 comes down to the ring with Tyrus for his match with…Jeremy Borash…yes, you read that correctly. EC3 has a big brace on his left arm so I would assume he is still recovering from his surgery last year. EC3 does the introductions for this match and introduces JB as “hailing from Receding Heights, Baldimore.” JB comes out with Rockstar Spud. JB’s fiancé is shown at ringside along with British Bootcamp II winner Mark Andrews. As JB gets in the ring EC3 stops him and EC3 says he would like to commentate this match and starts doing his old school boxing announcer impression making fun of JB’s bald head throughout.

JB took the microphone from EC3 and says that the people like to say that EC3 can’t wrestle but he can’t announce worth a damn either and then he slaps the hell out of EC3!

Ethan Carter III w/Tyrus vs. Jeremy Borash w/Rockstar Spud

JB punches EC3 repeatedly but then EC3 slams him and starts beating the piss out of JB. Spud screams at EC3 so EC3 spits on him! Spud jumps on EC3’s back but Tyrus pulls him off and lays Spud out. Mark Andrews jumps the railing and hits a Springboard Missile Dropkick on Tyrus! EC3 sees this and decides to bail instead of fight the Brit. Tyrus attempts to Double Clothesline Spud and Andrews, but they duck and hit a Double Dropkick! Spud hits a Somersault Plancha off the top onto Tyrus and then Andrews hits a gorgeous Shooting Star Press off the top onto Tyrus, holy crap! “That guy is so white he is transparent” Taz says of Mark Andrews. Legit, I had my neighbor stop me one day while I was cutting grass and drop the same line, damn.

Winner: NO CONTEST

—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-

“Cowboy” James Storm vs. Matt Hardy

Storm and Matt lockup and then Hardy slams Storm into the corner. Hardy whips Storm into the opposite corner and hits a series of Running Clotheslines taking Storm down. Matt goes for the Twist of Fate but Storm bocks it and retreats to the floor, but Matt hits a Baseball Slide Dropkick under the ropes to the floor. Matt then Hip Tosses Storm on the ramp before rolling him back in the ring. Storm immediately rolls back out to the floor and Matt follows slamming him into the ring steps over and over. Matt dives off the apron with a Flying Elbow and then tosses Storm back into the ring for a nearfall. Hardy puts Storm in a side headlock but Storm lifts Matt up and hangs him up in the ropes before dropping him onto his knees with a Lungblower! Storm wraps Matt’s leg up in the ropes and then treats the other leg like a wishbone. Matt tries to fight him off but Storm rakes his eyes and then hits a jawbreaker. Storm hits the ropes but runs into a Side Effect from Hardy! 1…2…NO Storm kicks out! Storm and Hardy exchange slaps and then Storm counters a slam with the Closing Time! Storm attempts the Last Call but Matt ducks it and goes for the Twist, but Storm blocks it and goes for the Eye of the Storm! Matt escapes it and catches Storm with an inside cradle! 1…2…3!

Winner: Hardy via pinfall (inside cradle)

After the match Storm offers a handshake to Matt but he doesn’t fall for it. Abyss appears from behind and attacks Hardy and holds him for Storm to hit the Last Call! Abyss pulls Janice out from under the ring but before he can use it Jeff Hardy hits the ring and knocks Janice out of Abyss’ hand with a steel chair. Hardy hits a Stunner and The Revolution retreat as Jeff picks the chair back up. Jeff challenges Abyss to a Monsters Ball! Abyss accepts as the fans chant “monsters ball.”

In the back Christy Hemme welcomes the Feast or Fired winners into a conference room.

—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-

MVP is shown pacing the streets when Samoa Joe walks up and says they need to go hit Lashley now when he isn’t, but MVP tells Joe to back off because he wants to end Lashley since he made him. He tells Joe to make sure the rest of The BDC don’t get involved either.

Back to Christy Hemme Robbie sings to Velvet as he says he is going to get a World Title shot. Rockstar Spud opens his case and he gets the X-Division Title shot! Up next is Magnus who opens his case and he receives the Tag Title shot! Either Aries or Robbie E are getting fired. Robbie is freaking out about possibly being fired.

Lashley is shown heading out to the door to the streets to meet MVP.

—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-

Robbie continues to freak out about the briefcase and he comes to the realization that he wasn’t really the one that pulled down the briefcase because Velvet did and handed it to him. He demands that she open it and when she does it is revealed to have the pink slip! Robbie laughs while Velvet cries. That means Aries gets the World Title shot! Josh Matthews calls Robbie E a genius but then points out that no one has ever cashed in the World Title Feast or Fired shot and won.

Main Event
NYC Street Fight
“The Destroyer” Lashley vs. MVP

Lashley meets MVP on the street and they start going at it. Lashley tosses MVP into the side of a building but MVP fights back tossing Lashley into a nearby buildings doors before throwing a trashcan at him. MVP hits a series of knees and the fight then spills into the Manhattan Center where Lashley slams MVP into some guardrails. MVP tackles Lashley but then Lashley grabs a guardrail and slams it on MVP but Low-Ki comes flying out of nowhere on top of Lashley! Joe and King then join in and the BDC beat the piss out of Lashley and drag him into the street. EY joins in and holds Lashley as MVP lays into him with a big right hand. Kurt Angle and Bobby Roode run out carrying metal pipes and chase the BDC off. Roode realizes that the TNA World Title is lying on the ground and picks it up and stares at it. Roode then hands the title to Lashley and leaves.

Winner: NO CONTEST
