There are several major news items to report from Thursday's "iMPACT!" broadcast on SpikeTV:
Kurt and Karen Angle renewed their wedding vows on the special Valentine's Day broadcast, but in the end it was AJ Styles and Karen Angle being pronounced man and wife! In addition, is it the end of Abyss after the monster threw down his mask and walked out on Thursday night? Plus, new matches were also made for the Destination X Pay-Per-View event! More details are below...
- TNA Management Director Jim Cornette once again attempted to get Samoa Joe to sign his new contract on the broadcast, but this time Christian Cage interrupted the ceremony. Cage asked Joe to help him get revenge on Kurt Angle, Tomko and AJ Styles for what happened at Against All Odds, and Joe agreed since he felt somewhat at fault for allowing Tomko to get involved.
- Speaking of Tomko, he revealed his reasons why he cost Cage the bout at the PPV, claiming it was years of anger along with the fact Cage interfered in Tomko's recent match with Angle without permission, then took credit for Tomko's win. Later, Tomko met with Angle and told him he would rejoin the Angle Alliance, but on the condition that Tomko was his own man and that Angle wouldn't dare tell him what to say or do.
- It was scheduled to be Cage and Joe facing TNA World Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Tomko later that night, but Cage was attacked backstage prior to the bout. It ended up being Joe and Kevin Nash taking on the champs, who won after TNA World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle interfered on their behalf.
- After the bout, Samoa Joe made a challenge for the main event at the Destination X event, as it will be Samoa Joe, Christian Cage and Kevin Nash taking on The Angle Alliance of Angle, Styles and Tomko.
- Later in the broadcast, Kurt and Karen Angle renewed their wedding vows - but Samoa Joe and Kevin Nash came out to ruin the ceremony. Amidst the chaos, the minister lost his glasses and accidentally pronounced AJ Styles and Karen Angle as husband and wife! AJ planted a big kiss on Karen as Kurt - who had been stripped down to his boxers by Joe and Nash - looked on in disbelief!
- Also on Thursday, Abyss was slated to take on "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner, but Abyss seemingly had a change of heart before the match and wouldn't go to the ring. Instead, Abyss turned his back to the crowd...took off his mask and dropped it...and left the arena without a word to anyone! Have James Mitchell and Judas Mesias finally run Abyss out of TNA?
