Tapings started out with a performance by Grits of the new AJ Styles theme music, "Get Ready To Fly". They also debuted a new entrance for AJ, which is similar to what Christian used to have with the "waterfall" pyro and him standing in the middle. This led into a King of the Mountain qualifying match.
King of the Mountain Qualifyer
AJ Styles vs. Christoper Daniels
--Great match, as these two performers ALWAYS put on. Finish came with AJ reversing an Angel's Wings into the Styles Clash. Went over very well with the crowd, should turn out great on Thursday.
Winner: AJ Styles -- After the match, Shane Douglas returned quickly as he came in from the crowd and decked Daniels with a chain. He then left quickly back through the crowd.
X-Division Championship
Suicide(c) vs. Amazing Red
--Red is very over with the TNA crowd in Orlando. Should be another match to come off very well on television. Chants were the regular of "He's Amazing", "This is Awesome"...etc. Disappointing when Suicide retained.
Winner: Suicide
Sting, with his new leadership in the MainEventMafia, addressed the Mafia and the TNA audience next. Sting talked about what the group's original mission was, how some things have strayed from that, and what he was going to do to get them back together. During this Kurt is dejectedly leaning on the ropes in the corner. This discussion also points out that Kurt is the main weak point and the guy who dropped the ball. First, the women are banned from the Mafia. This of course led to dissentment from Kevin Nash and Booker T, also after the televised segment ended Booker was still talking with Sting and said that they would talk about this further. The other development was that Angle's Security Team is banned from the Mafia. They were immediately sent away, unlike the women, and were met with chants of "You Got Fired" from the TNA Audience. Samoa Joe interrupted near the end of the segment, and said that he has been sent to take out the Mafia 1 by 1 through Steiner, Nash, Booker, and Sting until Angle was the only one left. He then said that he has been ordered to kill Angle.
Open Challenge -- Ladder Match for the "stolen" case that British Invasion took from Hernandez. #1
Doug Williams vs. Cody Deaner
--Kind of boring match, Deaner just absolutely has no talent within his current gimmick. Finish came as Doug was able to retain the case with interference from the British Invasion.
