- Backstage, Jeremy Borash is with TNA World Champion Samoa Joe talking about tonight's main event. Borash asks him if he is mentally ready for tonight. Samoa Joe asks him to define "mentally ready" and said he doesn't know what he will do until he goes out there. Joe said Sting is just as much apart of his match tonight as Kurt Angle and Christian Cage are. He calls out Sting for not doing the TNA schedule like he does, saying he works the very least of all the veterans in TNA and said he would respect him if he actually did that schedule for a change.
- A video package runs highlighting tonight's main event for the TNA World Title which will feature champion Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle vs. Christian Cage. As noted earlier, Booker T will not be competing in the match tonight.
