TNA Impact Opener:
Hulk Hogan is out to alot of pyro and is making his way down to the ring. He says things around here are wide open and he’s been on a high ever since Lockdown. He says being RVD right now and being the TNA Heavyweight Champion means you have a target on your back and you need to up your game. He talks about Bischoff’s new ranking system and tell the fans they’ll have a say in it. He puts over RVD and his matches with both Hardy and Styles. The crowd boos AJ’s name but Hogan says you can’t deny how good he is. He introduces RVD and the crowd is going crazy for the new champ. Hogan and RVD slap high fives and RVD tells Hogan to feel free and call him "Mr. TNA." RVD says the reason he is in TNA is because everybody in the company would be fair and just let him be himself. He says some people will never understand his connection with Hogan or "mother earth’s finest", but that’s fine. People don’t have to understand what it’s like to be him, but they have to understand that he’s the best at what he does, and he’ll be a great champion, and that’s why he’s the "Whole F’n Show."
AJ Styles’ music hits and he comes out with Ric Flair. Before they get in the ring Hogan tells them no one invited them them and addresses them as ex-world champs. AJ tells everyone to shut up and gets in the ring to face off with RVD. AJ mocks RVD and says he is a hippie loser from California. AJ asks if RVD is high right now, and says he must be. AJ says he was beating the piss out of RVD and was going to win until he slipped on the ropes. He says he should get his title shot but he is stuck in a b.s. tag match instead. He says he will get his rematch whenever he wants it, not when Hogan or RVD want it, and tells RVD to stick that in his pipe and smoke it. Flair gets on the mic and says he knows it’s cool being champion because he’s done it 16 times. Flair says he and Hogan have a problem. Flair says Hogan is responsible for giving Abyss the ring and he says he is going to take everything Hogan has done to him out on Abyss.
Backstage Segment:
The Beautiful People are near some production equipment and are complaining about having to defend their titles so soon. They say its discrimination against them and TNA management is out to get them. Madison Rayne says she’s not that worried about her match because of the way Tara and Angelina have been fighting with each other. She finishes by saying she is going to cleanse TNA of two ugly people at one time.
