Backstage: And to the back where Jeremy Borash was in the Angle lair. He plugged some stuff while Styles and Karen played patty-cake in the background. Kurt had enough, so he hopped up and asked why he's running down the show tonight. Kurt said the Angle Alliance has some business to take care of tonight, so he needs Borash's full attention and support tonight. Kurt then told Styles to talk to Tomko about an offer to join the club. Karen then stood up and whispered something to Kurt. Borash and Kurt left, then Karen sat down next to Styles and whispered sweet nothings in his ear. Styles played dumb about what kind of favor Karen would do for him later on. Styles didn't get the hint until Karen lowered her dress strap to reveal the top of her left breast. Styles suddenly snapped to attention and went looking for Tomko. Karen rolled her eyes to show how silly it was for her to stoop this low. Or something like that.

Backstage: Crystal interviewed Christian about whether he'll be MVP of 2007. Christian said something about the awards, but then wanted to address Kurt Angle. Christian said Kurt must be hard of hearing because Tomko said he wants to be his own man. He said if Tomko wants to pick a side, then let him pick it on his own. So, last month's build-up was around Styles's decision. Now, it's Tomko's decision. Isn't there a title belt on the line or something?

Impact Zone: James Storm and Ms. Brooks came out to the ring for a tag match. Robert Roode and his deer-in-the-headlights new assistant, Peyton Banks, came out as the other-half of the team. Her gimmick is that she's Ms. Books. For the babyfaces, Eric Young is still residing in an undisclosed location. Wasn't that eight storylines ago? Sonjay Dutt came out as the other half.

1 -- ROBERT ROODE (w/Peyton Banks) & JAMES STORM (w/Ms. Jackie Moore) vs. ERIC YOUNG & SONJAY DUTT

Tenay plugged the viewership numbers for last week's episode. West plugged the Global Impact show last week. They talked about Peyton's stalker status, and they completely dated themselves by referencing "Single White Female" from 16 years ago. Dutt took a hot tag at 3:00 and ripped off a series of high-energy moves. Dutt then ran into a superkick from Storm, and he took the Perfectplex (pay off) from Roode for the win.

Afterward, Ms. Brooks hit the ring and tackled Peyton to the mat. Women and men started flying around the ring, ending with Brooks on top of Young, who was trying to hold her back. Peyton and Roode walked up the stage away from Brooks while Brooks called Peyton names.
