Even Joseph Park has a Twitter. Unbelievable. The fans chant "you can do it" at Park as he shoots a double leg on Doc, who sprawls out and breaks clean in apparent amusement. Park shoots in again, but doc simply shrugs Park off and kicks at his leg. Park suddenly slaps the taste out of Doc's mouth, stunning the biker dude. Park dodges a couple of wild swings and goes out to the floor. Doc follows him out and blocks Park from hightailing it, then picks up a chair and swings it at Park, who dodges out of the way at the last moment. Doc tries a wild punch, but Park dodges again and Doc punches the ringpost. Doc goes for a goozle with the good hand, but Park blocks and slams the bad hand into the ring steps. Park dodges another charge and Doc runs himself into the barricade, but they head back inside where Doc hits Park low. Doc takes off his studded belt and prepares to nail Park with it, but the referee takes it away, so Doc goes under the ring and gets the hammer he used on Sting instead. He stalks Park with it, but Park takes him down with a double leg and unloads with right hands and then gets the hammer. Park hesitates because he's a wuss, and Doc suckerpunches Park and starts putting the boots to him. Doc fishhooks Park's mouth and lands an elbowdrop for 2, then chokes Park on the middle rope. Doc with a big splash for 2, then yells at Park to stay down. Park still uses the ropes to pull himself up, so Doc plants another boot in his ribs and unloads with right hands before yelling at him again to stay down. This just infuriates Park, who gets to his feet in a rage and just starts destroying Doc with punches and a shoulderblock. Doc gets his elbow in Park's face when he charges in, then grabs his studded belt again when the ref wasn't looking and nails Park with it. Park is busted open, and the sight of his own blood has some kind of effect on Park that turns him into a vicious monster, charging Doc and destroying him with a charge in the corner. Park hits the Black Hole Slam, but instead of going for the cover, he snaps himself out of the trance he was in and doesn't appear to know what just happened. He big splashes Doc and goes for a cover, but Doc is out at 2 and uppercuts Park in the jaw, sending him out to the floor. Doc tries to reach through the ropes and grab him, but Park hits him in the head with a chair and quickly comes back in to go for a cover. Doc kicks out at 2 and chokeslams Park for the win.
Winner: Doc
Doc isn't finished, and gets back on top of Park to rain down punches onto the fallen attorney. Doc goes back out of the ring and gets the hammer, chasing the referee away when he tries to stop him, but Bully Ray runs in and chases Doc off. Bully Ray helps Park back to his feet and they have a long staredown before Bubba raises Park's hand.
Jeremy Borash is backstage with Bobby Roode, who says that he's getting back in the game tonight. He's getting in the ring with two guys he shares a lot in common with, who know what it's like to be a World Champion, so he's going to go out and do what he's been doing for the last year. He's going to prove that he's the It Factor of professional wrestling, and he's already started the mind games. He beat AJ Styles on Thursday, and Storm may have gotten lucky last week, but if he beats Storm tonight, he'll have the last laugh because Storm will be on the sidelines for the next year while Roode is one step closer to regaining the World Title.

How do you like that, Chavo CAN come up with his own moves! Good match, Kazarian and Daniiels have meshed so well as a team and I can see them getting the title back sooner rather than later.
Jeremy Borash is backstage with AJ Styles, who now gets to share his thoughts on tonight's three way with Storm and Roode. AJ says he's had a rough year with a lot of distractions, and says the fact that it's been almost three years since he's been World Champion is all the fuel he needs tonight. A new chapter in AJ's life starts tonight and will lead to him becoming the World Champion.

Winner: James Storm
So James Storm earns himself a World Title shot, but now AJ Styles can't get a title shot for almost a full year and he does NOT look happy about it. Excellent match, easily the best on the show so far, and you could tell how good it was by the fact that the highlight replays lasted for about two full minutes.
Devon is backstage saying that this show is called Turning Point, but his turning point came at Bound For Glory when he was revealed as a member of Aces & Eights, a group of men who had his back when nobody else did. Kurt Angle was in the wrong place at the wrong time and Devon says not to take the ass whipping personally, and he can testify on that.
The show continues on Page 3!
