TNA iMPACT! Opener:
We start off tonight’s show with a look back at last week’s show when Jeff Jarrett returned and joined Team Angle. We see Kurt Angle’s comments about Jeff Jarrett from Lockdown. Then we see footage from the Lethal Lockdown match.
In the arena:
Mike Tenay is in the ring and he brings out the six time NWA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett. Mike points out that Jeff has been gone for six months but he came back with the guitar shot heard round the world and it shocked everyone. Mike then talks about how he proved that he was a different Jeff Jarrett at Lockdown when he handed Sting the title match. Mike wants to know what changed things for Jarrett. Jeff says that he had a lot of time to look back on his career. He says that it is not all about the King of the Mountain and that everything revolves around Jeff Jarrett. Jeff says that it is time to give back. He says that he looks back at his twenty year career, especially his five years in TNA. Most importantly he has looked back at the last seventeen days and it is time to give back. Jarrett talks about how Sting came back and all he has done is give. Last Thursday was step one, Lockdown was step two, and step three is coming and it will shock everyone. Mike wants to know about step three, but Kurt Angle’s music plays and he comes to the ring. Angle has a mic and he wants to make sure that he heard things right that Jarrett came back to make things right. Angle tells Jarrett to make things right. Angle called Jarrett and invited him back into the game. Angle was the one who was ridiculed by the fans and his teammates because nobody trusted him. It was Angle whose integrity was challenged. Angle had everything to lose by having Jarrett on his team and then this is how he is thanked?
Angle tells Jarrett that he handed Sting a title shot on a silver platter. This was a man who hated Jarrett. Angle wants Jarrett to make things right with him. Jarrett says that he does not have to make things right with Angle because he did what he said he would do. He joined Team Angle to help them win the Lethal Lockdown match. That is what happened at the pay per view. As far as Sting goes, the business is all about timing and Sting was in the right place at the right time. Angle says that Jarrett is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sting’s music plays and he comes out to the ring. Sting says that if Angle has a problem with the way that he got the title shot then Angle has a problem with him. Sting says that over the last six months he has had his hands full with Abyss. Sting says that he has been to hell and back with Abyss and he has been hearing Angle’s voice every week. Angle acts like he is the leader in the locker room. Sting points out that Jarrett and him have been wrestling for more than twenty years while Angle has been wrestling for less than ten years. Sting says that if not for guys like Jarrett and him paving the way, Angle would be a gold medalist gym teacher. Sting says that if Angle wants a shot at the title and Cage, they will settle it next week with the winner getting the title shot.
Backstage:
Team Cage is in the locker room and they are in a good mood while Christian talks about how Angle and Sting are fighting over a title shot. Christian says that he wants to challenge himself and he got himself a shot at being the tag champion and he has Abyss as his partner.
