Kurt Angle came into Kevin Nash's office and slumped on a couch. Nash said there are more important things than his family ... like him. Nash said Kurt was the "A&P Champion in Japan", the TNA Champion, and he was going to beat Samoa Joe. Nash told Angle he needed the "Eye Of The Tiger". Angle got psyched up, but as soon as Nash left, he slumped back on the couch and started crying.
In the ring, Mike Tenay introduced Pacman Jones, who had an elaborate video entrance. Some ringside fans made it "rain" fake money as he came out. Jones refused to shake hands with Mike Tenay. Tenay asked Jones why he was coming into wrestling. Jones said because he loved it as a kid. Tenay asked why he came to TNA, and Jones said it was because TNA is a "trendsetter", like him. Tenay asked what his goal in TNA is, and Jones said to show he is a "team player". Ron Killings came out on the rampway and welcomed Jones to the "snakepit". Killings said professional wrestling is not a "team sport", it is all about individuality. Jones took off his T-shirt. Killings said wrestling is about "who is going to screw who first" and said in this business no one has your back. Killings said that Jones' contract prevented him from touching anyone. Killings said "Ain't that a bitch?" and some fans started a "He's a bitch!" chant. Killings said that because of that contract, Jones won't be beating anyone up, but he better watch out, because there was a locker room of wrestlers that want to beat him up, and Killings said he was on the top of the list. Jones said that there was nothing but "space and opportunity" between the two of them. Fans chanted "Shut the f*** up". Killings was tackled by security as he approached the ring and dragged off. Jones said security should let him go, then said Killings "Didn't want any of this". Jones then left. With the exception of those that were chanting, the crowd was apathetic to the whole thing.
Crystal interviewed Christian Cage, AJ Styles and Tyson Tomko. Christian said that he wasn't bleeding tonight, and said he would hold Sting, Abyss and Martin responsible if AJ bleeds one drop. Christian walked off. Styles said to Tomko that he wouldn't be bleeding, and pulled out a box of Band-Aids. Tomko explained that Band-Aids stop bleeding, they don't prevent it.
They cut backstage, and Pacman Jones has apparently been "laid out", holding his shoulder. Don West said he had blood near his eye, but I didn't notice that, and soon security was blocking the shot. Tenay and West noted what Killings has said earlier about the locker room wanting a piece of Jones. So, now we all know how they got around the "no physical contact" problem.

Sting and Tomko were fighting on the floor, and Tonko was already bleeding. Styles kicked Abyss out of the ring, then dove out of the cage onto Abyss. Good thing the cage has a really big door. The brawl at ringside continued. Martin and Cage made it into the cage, while at ringside Tomko rammed the cage door into Sting's face. Martin gave Christian and big boot and a pumphandle slam, but since Christian isn't bleeding, the pin didn't count.
