During the second episode of Impact that was taped tonight, Samoa Joe was informed that if he didn't relinquish the NWA championship belt, he would be removed from the roster. In an in-ring segment, Joe refused and ripped up the papers informing him. The lights went out and Kurt Angle hit the ring and got in Joe's face. He headbutted Joe and hit the Angle Slam. Angle held up the belt but Joe hit an enziguiri from behind. Joe cinched a choke in on Angle and security tried to break them up. During all this, Jeff Jarrett retrieved his belt.

After Joe was removed from the ring, Angle took the house mic and stated that he wasn't fired, he asked Vince McMahon for his release. He said he was back to wrestling and McMahon could kiss his "Olympic Ass."

It appears the Kurt Angle interview that is being teased for this Thursday's Impact will be a pre-taped segment as nothing happened before the live crowd in Orlando, nor was anything shown on the Impact Zone's video screens.
