The original plan was for Sabu to do a run in and save Abyss from an attack from Rellik and Black Reign. The replacement for this role was Rhino. Of course usually if a superstar is booked for one iMPACT! taping they are usually scheduled for the next one. However, Sabu was not used by TNA because the storyline for the next two weeks had already been taped. At this point there is no word that Sabu will be used.

If TNA is going to use Sabu in the near future it will have to be after next Sunday's Turning Point pay per view.
