Abyss walks down the aisle saying they will take joy in destroying what’s left of the Hardy Legacy. And it’s going to be just like him- BEAUTIFUL! JUST LIKE THEIR DESTRUCTION!

Backstage Billy Corgan catches Maria in the middle of a hissy fit about Sienna’s title defense. Corgan reminds her they aren’t equals, and tells Sienna to get ready because she may be facing more than one. They aren’t happy with Allie. Poor Allie. 🙁

Lashley tries to intimidate Miracle. Who reminds him he just beat one hundred guys in one match. Lashley says he’s glad Mike’s confident. He’s gotten this far with his wife, then Moose. This title shot will backfire. Then Drew, or EC3. Bennett says he’s looking past The Miracle. Lashley says don’t worry about him, worry about Moose.

Bennett is somewhat taken aback.

The Summit with EC3 and Drew Galloway

After they share a shot of whiskey, Galloway is taken aback when EC3 yells at him what his problem is. Drew explains how Carter cost him the title three times after he told him specifically not to. Carter says he apologized by promising a match for his title shot at Bound For Glory. Drew says he will come at Ethan with everything he has. Carter expects it, and he says as good friends they should drink to EC3 Time World Champion. Galloway says they’ll drink to their cats instead (yay), and says he likes the catchphrase.

They stand up and Ethan says he can’t wait, to defend the World Title against Galloway after BFG. Galloway throws him in the pool, and says he should know not to turn his back on him. Deuces.

Moose is heading out of the building and Lashley pulls up. He says maybe Moose shouldn’t need to park so far away or put up with Bennett. He hands over a business card and drives off, leaving Moose to consider his offer a meeting and a steak dinner. And also apparently picking up the tab.

Eli Drake’s Facts of Life with the X-Division Title

Drake mocks everyone in the ring and the fans too. He demands that TNA Management give him the KOTM title back. He says he’s not going to ask everyone as to why he should win, he says instead everyone there needs to ply their case as to who has no chance.

Rockstar Spud goes off on Sutter who mocks him for having braces and being a crybaby. Spud calls him unprofessional and says Zema hasn’t won the X-Division title in four years. He says Everett and Lee are from North Carolina so, and then mocks Mandrews for being British, being short and having blonde hair.

Drake says no one has proved they deserve it, and hits the Dummy Yeah! button until DJZ gets mad and dares him to hit again. He throws the podium and everyone brawls until Mandrews hits a dive to the outside. Drake looks ready to dive, but fakes!

DJZ charges forcing Drake to duck and dives over the side to crash into all of them! DJZ comes in the ring and holds the X-Division Title high, the title will be decided next week.
