The Main Event Mafia (Sting & Kurt Angle & Scott Steiner & Kevin Nash -w/Jenna Morasca- & Booker T -w/Sharmell-) + Samoa Joe: Sting is now the “Godfather” (leader) of the Main Event Mafia after winning that right at TNA Sacrifice. Former leader, Kurt Angle, came out pouting with his two security guards watching his back. Sting said he would be bringing some changes to the family and not everyone’s job is secure. Sting said a few of them have gotten out of focus. Sting said they had a pact to put the group first, and their egos second. Sting addressed Kevin Nash, for letting the issue (jealous) between Jenna and Sharmell to get in the way of what they’re trying to do. Sting said starting tonight the women are banned from the Mafia! Sting addressed Kurt Angle hiring his own private security without consulting anyone. Sting fired Rocco & Sal and told them to get out of the ring! Samoa Joe came out and said he was putting the Mafia on notice. Joe said he’s been ordered to systematically take them out one-by-one until it’s just him and Kurt Angle left. Joe said he’s been ordered to KILL Kurt Angle.

BACKSTAGE SEGMENT
Lauren Brooke + Dr. Stevie: Lauren started hyping the TNA Knockout title match when she was interrupted by Dr. Stevie. Lauren yelled at Dr. Stevie, who asked “is that any way to talk to a professional?” Dr. Stevie said tonight he was going to give Abyss a live therapy session. Lauren said it wasn’t going to happen, and she was not afraid to jump in there. Dr. Stevie was it was all about mind control, and maybe Lauren should make an appointment with his receptionist.. Lauren told him, “don’t wait for that call.”
LADDER MATCH
Doug Williams (w/Brutus Magnus & Rob Terry) defeated Cody Deaner w/ODB: Homicide was supposed to accept the challenge, but he was called away due to a death in the family. They’re still treating Cody Deaner like an untrained “fan.” Any time Deaner got the advantage on Williams, Magnus & Terry would take the ladder away (until ODB interjected herself). Deaner climbed the ladder and had his hands on the briefcase, but Williams showed up and pushed him over. Deaner took a really crazy bump off the ropes down to the floor and Doug Williams climbed the ladder to retain the Feast or Fired briefcase. Sheik Abdul Bashir & Kiyoshi came down and congratulated the British Invasion..
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW

Jarrett said win, lose, or draw – let’s start over!
IN THE RING
Dr. Stevie & Abyss: Dr. Stevie said he wanted to discuss their addiction for pain, violence, and for the flowing of blood. Dr. Stevie said Abyss choke-slammed him into a pile of thumb tacks at Sacrifice – how dare you! Dr. Stevie said they have to start the whole therapy process from the beginning. Dr. Stevie forced Abyss back into a straight jacket. Dr. Stevie brought out a kendo stick and Lauren Brooke ran down to protect Abyss. Dr. Stevie threatened to whack Lauren, but Abyss begged him not to. Suddenly, Raven (surprise!) jumped over the rail and confronted Dr. Stevie. Raven took the kendo stick and repeatedly whacked Abyss with it! Don West proclaimed “Abyss needed to take it from a familiar face!” and “the healing process has begun!”
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW
Jeremy Borash & Raven + Dr. Stevie: Jeremy Borash asked Raven why he was back in TNA. Raven cut one of his great promos, making up a whole bunch of reasons he came back – but maybe I did it for one simple reason.. BECAUSE I CAN!
TNA KNOCKOUT TITLE MATCH

Angelina scolded Cute Kip for not taking care of Kong last week and accused him of stalking so TNA security would kick him out of the building!

Foley said he was only human, but his body cannot do it on a regular basis any more. Foley said for the good of the business he must stay champion for many years.
