After a video package airs recapping Sting's losing his contract from Impact last week, we cut backstage to Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe being held back by TNA officials from ECIII, Magnus and Rockstar Spud. Those three then made their way out to the ring, no worries about Magnus getting cheered here as the Englishman is loudly booed by the Scottish crowd.
Magnus says that Sting had "a hell of a run, but all good things must come to an end". He compared him to AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy. "There's a phrase we use when the president of the company decides to restructure. When they trim the fat and they lose the dead wood it's what's known as the 'thinning of the herd'". Magnus said he and Dixie had decided to rid the company of the "dinosaurs lying around" and make way for the "new stars of the business". He then listed Bro-Mans, Zema Ion, Rockstar Spud and Magnus in that list of 'new stars'.
ECIII picked up on Magnus saying he "single handledly eliminated AJ" etc… with that out came Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe and ran the trio off. TNA's UK tapings continue that disconcerting run of having the hard camera above the stage. Angle said he and Joe made the trip across the pond to avenge the "screwing of the herd". Angle said Magnus would go down as a "paper champion" – the crowd chanted in kind. Angle and Magnus exchanged words about Magnus' time in the Main Event Mafia. Joe said their patience has run out, and they want to "beat your ass". Magnus suggested Magnus and ECIII vs Joe and Angle, and if he and Magnus won both he and Angle are gone from TNA. Joe, in return, said that if either him or Angle pinned Magnus (seemed like the stipulation just applied to Magnus) then they would become number one contender. That match was made in what will presumably be the main event.
But wait (!), out comes Dixie Carter. She says that said match won't happen here tonight. Dixie Carter mentioned the new investor (which got a good reaction), but she couldn't worry about it. Magnus overruled her, and said they're on, we then saw a blacked out people carrier arrive at the arena as we cut to the break – the new investor.
