There wasnt a referee around the ringside area for this PPV style match. Joe took it right to Cage at the bell with high impact offense. Cage stopped it with a thumb to the eye but Joe hit a flying knee to the head. Joe went for a ladder but Cage dropkicked him in the face. Cage dumped Joe into the ring and got the ladder but Joe hit a flying forearm sending the ladder into Cage. Joe smashed the ladder into Cages ribs and got the ladder on the ring apron but Cage dropped on the end on the apron, sending the front into Joes jaw. Cage brought the ladder in the ring and went to climb as Joe stopped him. Cage collapsed the ladder and placed it in a corner. But it was Cage who went careening into the ladder on a reverse from Joe. Joe did the facewash but instead of the Ole kick he kicked the ladder into Cages package. Joe went up on the ladder but Cage stopped him, bringing Joe back to the canvas with a Scorpion Death Drop. With Joe momentarily out Cage went up the ladder but missed a move. Joe closed the ladder, placed it on Cage and hit a Swanton bomb. Somehow Cage dumped Joe to the floor and went forth belt but Joe came in and hit an enziguri followed by the muscle buster. This brought out Abyss who hit Joe with a Black Hole Slam. Abyss went up the ladder but Raven and Brother Runt brought him down. Raven and Abyss fought on the floor as Runt dove off the ladder. Joe and Cage grabbed the belt but Rhino came out and sent both falling off the ladder. Joe held the belt when he landed as Cage was hit with a GORE!!!
Jeremy Borash and Christy Hemme tossed out T-shirts to the fans before hour two began. Borash was booed when he mentioned the PPV was going to be held in Detroit . However he said nowhere else equaled the Orlando crowd.
Matches to air October 19 (not all the interviews were shown):
Mike Tenay was in the ring to address the NWA World Heavyweight title belt situation. He held documents that stated TNA management demanded Samoa Joe surrender the belt at the end of the show or be removed from the TNA roster immediately.
Raven, Abyss and Brother Runt came from beside the announce table using chairs, trash can lids and anything else not nailed down as weapons. The fight went into the ring where Raven hit Abyss with the drop toe hold to the chair but Abyss hit the Black Hole Slam. But the shock of the night came as JAKE ROBERTS came to the ring!! Roberts had his trusty body bag which he opened in front of Abyss. Mitchell signaled for Doomsday but Abyss ran from the boa constrictor Roberts pulled out of the bag. Runt came into the ring and told Roberts to put the snake in the bag and get out of his ring. Roberts dropped the bag on Runts head and hit the DDT. Roberts grabbed the snakes head and sent it down Runts pants. Roberts took the mic and addressed the fans. TNA asked Roberts to be the referee for the Monsters Ball match at Bound For Glory. Roberts said something like he would be the guide into the labyrinth of his mind and show the competitors to their words mean nothing.
