[Q1] Jeremy Borash sat on a coach with Booker T and Sharmell inside their dressing room. Booker spoke of a friend who would be joining him later in the show. "You mean Sting?" Borash asked. Booker dismissed Borash so that he and Sharmell could have some "alone time"...
The opening montage was from the TNA video game this week... Mike Tenay and Don West introduced the show. Tenay said Booker would be giving Joe a tour of the six sides of steel weapons match. West hyped the tag team No. 1 contenders match...
1. James Storm and Robert Roode (w/Jacqueline) defeated Christian and Rhino to become No. 1 contenders to the TNA Tag Titles in 10:45. Beer Money is now Beer Money Inc. That sounds slightly better, but I'm still not a fan of the cheese ball name. The show cut to commercial after a few minutes of back and forth action. [C]
At 9:00, Team 3D and Johnny Devine ran out and tried to interfere. Brother Ray and Johnny Devine ran out and tried to interfere, but the babyfaces fought them off. Devon ran out to help. Rhino lined up Devon for a gore, but Jackie grabbed him from behind. Poor Earl Hebner had to act like he didn't notice that Team 3D snuck back inside the ring and hit 3D on Rhino, which enabled the heels to get the win.
[Q2] After the match, Christian challenged Team 3D to face him and Rhino in a New Jersey street fight at the pay-per-view. Bubba stood there with a concerned look on his face while Devon laughed... [C]
Backstage, Lauren stood by while The Rock-n-Rave Infection did their usual routine. Absolute nonsense...
2. Curry Man and Shark Boy and Jay Lethal (w/SoCal Val) defeated Lance Rock and Jimmy Rave and Johnny Devine (w/Christy Hemme). Solid action from bell to bell. Lethal pinned Devine to win the match for his team.
[Q3] After the match, Lethal had Val join him in the ring. "Let's try this again," he said. He got down on one knee and started to ask her to marry him, but then he noticed that she wasn't wearing her engagement ring. She said she lost it. He got upset and said he could take a hint. "I don't think you ever wanted to marry me in the first place"...
Backstage, Jeremy Borash interviewed the host of the CMT countdown show that the TNA wrestlers are appearing on. Super Eric interrupted and said he needed to "find the ring, save the love." He said he was going to get the rest of the Prince Justice Brotherhood on the case... [C]
