Impact is live from Salt Lake City. Dixie Carter's music hits and she comes out to a small amount of heat. The ring is set up with a big "Welcome Back AJ Styles Banner" and a table full of AJ merchandise. Dixie says that tonight is about someone very important. She says that she may have made a mistake, and tonight she needs to make up for that. She says that is all in the past, and now she is focusing on the future. She says the future is a legend, and someone she is proud to call her World Heavyweight Champion. She introduces the new champion, AJ Styles.

AJ comes down to a pretty big pop from the crowd. He enters the ring and shows off the world title. Dixie says that she is not expecting a thank you tonight, and that for the last six weeks it has all about her motivating him to glory. She says that AJ was in a slump, but she is here to help him. She says to look at what the brilliance of Dixie has gotten him. She said that he wanted to make her pay, so now she is going to pay. She says he is going to get his own dressing room. She gives AJ something that used to belong to Hogan, like a watch or something. She reveals a convertible for AJ. She asks if AJ is ready to move forward.

AJ asks if she thinks he will be on Team Dixie. He says all these material things are a manipulation from Dixie, and he isn't buying it. He says that when he meant that she was going to pay, he didn't mean anything material. He denounces all of her gifts. He says that this all could have been avoided months ago, and that she didn't believe in him, she bet against him.

Dixie asks him to calm down, and that maybe she crossed the line Sunday. She talks about the match tonight, and says that he does not have to do that. She says right now they can go on her jet and go someplace fun. All she asks is that he and her be on the same side, and she will cancel the match.

Bully comes down to the ring with Brooke, but we are going to commercial first.

We are back and Bully is in the ring with a mic. He says that he did not travel all the way to Salt Crap City for his title shot to be canceled. AJ tells him to shut up for a second, and that he will get his turn. AJ asks Dixie if she thinks that he is leaving on her jet she is dumber then we all thought. AJ says that the rematch clause might work if he is under contract, but he isn't. He says that tonight he is the champion, and he will defend it tonight.

Bully reminds AJ that he isn't fighting Dixie, he is fighting him. He says AJ got lucky at BFG, and that it was Earl Hebners fault. He claims that he kicked out of the Spinal Tap, but Hebner missed it. That is the only way that AJ could have beaten him. Bully say he is going to beat the piss out of AJ, and take back his title. He says that in the professional wrestling business, AJ is a boy and he is a god. And if god was a bully, he would be him.

AJ says he should be concerned with Aces & 8s. He says that after he beats Ray tonight, he will celebrate with his fans, and he will say "Do you know who I am? I am the phenomenal AJ Styles."
Bully kind of sort of hits AJ, and then beats AJ down with a steel stand for AJ's merchandise. Bully gets AJ up for the powerbomb through the table, but the lights go out.

Dixie comes back out with security, and says that he is not authorized to be in the ring, and that security should cuff him. The security enters the ring and Anderson says that they should have some fun with this. Anderson tackles a few of the guards, but eventually stands up and gets arrested by security. They lead him up the ramp and Dixie yells at him.

We get a recap from Angle turning down the induction and losing to Roode.

Angle's music hits and he comes down in ring gear. Angle has a mic and says that last weekend was a tough weekend for him to forget. He says that at BFG, he could not accept the HOF reward. He says that he has so much more to prove, but when that time comes, he will take his place in hte HOF. He says that his match with Roode was one of the most physical matches he has ever been in, and that he did lose the match.

Roode comes out alone and he stares down Angle in the ring. He says that it is pathetic listening to excuse after excuse from Angle. He says that the real reason he declined his induction was that he knew deep down inside that he could not beat Roode. He says it was a good choice, because he did beat Angle, fair and square. He says that for two long years, he has lived with a sense of failure because Angle beat him at BFG for the World Title, but now it is Angle's turn to have that sense of failure.

Angle says that Roode may be one bad ass SOB, but he is not better then him. He says that he is not going to make any excuses, but to challenge him to a match, right now. Roode says "You want to wrestle me?" and takes off his jacket. He says that he would love to wrestle Kurt, but Angle cannot wrestle. Roode hands Angle a note, and that the note is from a doctor saying Kurt tore the cartilidge in his knee and he is not cleared to wrestle. Angle looks at the note and says he is not cleared to wrestle, but the doctor didn't say anything about a fight.

Daniels and Kaz come out and Kaz ridicules all the people in the ring. He says that they don't get to celebrate yet, but they are going to petition for a tag title shot. Daniels gets the mic and says that they have the wrong drinks for a celebration. Beer is for the lower class and only posers drink champagne. You celebrate a victory with a man's drink, and appletini. Storm takes a sip, spits it out and punches Daniels.

All the guys start beating each other and Eric Young and Joseph Parks come down. Daniels breaks a bottle over Park's head and he is busted open. Park's begins to turn into Abyss and chokeslams Jesse Godderz. We then go to commercial.

She says it is full of everything he ever wanted. She says that because she is so sweet, she is still giving him the car as a singing bonus. She says she wants AJ in TNA, and that they should put all of this behind them.

AJ grabs the clipboard while the crowd chants "Read the contract". AJ says that it is an amazing contract, by a horrible human being. He says a human being that uses the blood sweat and tears to pad her bank account. AJ says that she didn't believe in him months ago when he had no contract, and he rips up the contract. The crowd chants "Yes, Yes."

AJ says that money can't fix her problem, and that she doesn't respect the title, him or the fans. AJ says that she is going to pay by taking the World Title. He says that he is leaving, because these people deserve a champion. He says that he is taking the tile somewhere else, he is taking it somewhere, it is really hard to hear. He grabs the car keys and Impact ends with AJ driving away with the title.
