Impact opens with a recap of AJ Styles walking out of TNA as champion and the subsequent world title tournament. Tonight, Magnus will take on Jeff Hardy for the vacant world title in a "Dixieland" match. Tonight is Impact's Final Resolution TV special.

Magnus is shown in the back asking a stage hand if they have seen Hardy. The man says no, and Magnus says he is going to the ring to say something that is going to get every one's attention.

Magnus comes out to the ring with a microphone. Magnus says he loves this business, and that is why he busted his gut and put his body threw hell, because he loves this business. He said that for the last five years, he has made his career in the US and he is proud of that. He said that when he came here, money talks. He says that is not about that for him, not the fancy houses and five star hotels. For him, it is always about pride, honor and respect. He wonders if the same can be said for his opponent, Jeff Hardy.

Magnus says that he as big of a fan of Hardy as anybody. Magnus says that Jeff slayed all of his demons, but there may be one little demon creeping his way back in; greed. He says that last week he was filmed having drinks with Dixie Carter. Magnus says that Jeff Hardy owes everybody an explanation, because this is the most important match of his life, and he is not going to let him or Dixie fool him.

Hardy comes down and says that Magnus jumps to that conclusion because of one little moment he had with Dixie Carter, he doesn't even know him? Magnus says he knows about Hardy's history, he knows about 10/10/10. Hardy says that was a different him, but Magnus says that it was the same place, a wrestling ring, where he sold out for the championship. Magnus says that he didn't think people were filming him did he? Magnus says that all these people forgave him, and what will they think of him if they sold out? Hardy gets upset and says that he should worry about his life, and Hardy will worry about his, and storms away.

Hemme is in the back and asks Angle about his match tonight against Bobby Roode. Angle says that a lot has happened between them, and Roode has had his number. Tonight though, things will be different, tonight he will show the world what Kurt Angle is all about, and that he still has it. Tonight he will not only beat Roode once, but he will beat him twice.

Winner of Third Fall and Match: Bobby Roode

JB is in the back with Gunner and Storm. He asks Gunner why he stepped over his partner to get the briefcase. Gunner says they knew the rules, and Storm would have done the same to him. Storm says we will see if his little gamble pays off. Gunner asks what that is supposed to mean, and Storm says that there is a 25% he gets fired, and they head into the conference room.

A cameraman asks Angle what happened. Angle says that he hasn't outwrestled Kurt, but Bobby has outsmarted him since BFG. The cameraman asks him if Roode really has his numbers, and Kurt says that is the most terrifying thing he ever heard, and he doesn't know what his next move is.

We get a recap of Madison Rayne and Gail Kim's friendship and their breakup over the Knockouts championship, with Rayne coming back last week.

JB is in the back and EC3 comes in. EC3 says that JB still owes him a match. EC3 he scoffs at the idea of getting a pink slip, and he says that his fate has already been determined as a winner. A call rings on his phone, and we hear EC3 talking to Dixie (whose voice is very clear for some reason) about the briefcase. Dixie says that if he gets fired, there is nothing she can do about it.

EY is shown talking about how his experiment went last week with his buddy. Tonight, he has a gift for him, and he holds up a present that is clearly a steel chair wrapped in wrapping paper.

Ey comes down to the ring empty handed. We get a recap of Young making Park bleed and him turning into Abyss. EY is in the ring and has a table set up with some gifts. He calls Park out and he comes down to the ring. EY tells him that he is Abyss. Park says that EY has always been a great friend, but he does not know what to believe. He says that his name is Joseph Park. EY explains how last week, when PArk bled, Abyss showed up. Park says that he blacks out when that stuff happens and he never remembers all that stuff.

EY says this will be a two-part test. Next week, he will face Kaz and Daniels in a Monsters Ball match. Park says that is not his match, it his brothers match, and that he won't do it. EY says that is the second part, the first part are these presents. He hands him the first gift and it is the chair. He opens the second one and it is a box. Inside the box is a bag of thumbtacks. Park pours them on the table, and begins to open the third and final present. The final gift is barbed wire.

Park says that he appreciates this, but he is still not going to wrestle next week. EY says that he is a showman, and that he saved the best for last. The final gift is under the ring. Park lifts up the apron and pulls out Janice. Park says alright, and that he will do it. Park walks back to the back staring at Janice.

We get a recap of Magnus talking to Hardy earlier about Hardy drinking with Dixie. Hardy is in his locker room and Samoa Joe sits down. Joe says that the only man that looks like that is a man who feels guilty. Joe says that in pro wrestling, it is a dog eat dog world, and sometimes people take short-cuts to get to the top. He just never thought Hardy was like that. Hardy says that Joe is not getting an explanation and storms away.

JB is in the conference room with Gunner, Chavo Zema Ion and EC3. They all have their briefcases and are ready to open them. The possible outcomes are a World title shot, a world tag team title championship shot, an X division title shot, and a pink slip. Dixie comes in and says that she is so accustomed to coming up with great innovative ideas, and tonight, their lives are about to change.

Zema Ion is the first person to open his briefcase. Ion says there is a 100% he is going home, with gold around his waist. Ion opens his case and it is the X title shot. Ion is elated and leaves the room. JB asks if it is the tag title shot, will he pick Storm? Gunner says that is a dumb question, of course he will pick Storm. Gunner opens it and it is the World Title shot. Gunner stands up and says finally he got something he deserved. Storm looks him in the eye and they both leave.

Chavo says that whatever is in his briefcase, it will not change the fact that he is a Guerrero. EC3 says that he is a Carter, and he doesn't lose. Sting then comes in and says that he asked EC3 to do something interesting, and now his career is on the line. Sting asks Chavo if he ever had anything given to him; Chavo ironically says that all Guerrero's had to work twice as hard.

Sting then says that he will give EC3 a choice, he can take this burden off of EC3 and the briefcase will go to him. All he asks is that EC3 wrestles him. EC3 blows him off and sits down. They both open the briefcases at the same time, and Guerrero gets the pink slip and EC3 gets the tag shot. The Carters are elated, but Sting cuts them off and says that it is over for them, and that he makes them both sick. Dixie is still happy, but EC3 is scared of what Sting said.

We see Magnus warming up, and the cameraman asks Magnus what he thinks. Magnus says there are a lot of questions going into the match, but after he wins the world title, all those questions will be answered.

Gail Kim and Lei'd Tapa come out for a tag match. ODB and Madison Rayne come out as her opponents.

Sting is talking to Hardy in the back. Sting says that he doesn't owe anybody an explanation, but he needs to be true to himself and his family. Hardy says that Sting doesn't understand, but Sting laughs and says that he does.

We see a video of Spud talking to Dixie from a few days ago and trying to explain his mission in Georgia to get his title back. Dixie says that we have a world title match coming up, but they don't have a world title match. She orders Spud to get someone to make a new title belt.

We get a video recap of the whole title tournament.

The Dixieland match for the world title is next. A Dixieland match starts with a cage match. Whoever gets out of the cage first must run up the ramp and climb a ladder, where the world title is suspended, and grab it.

Hardy comes out first and enters the cage. He has a mic and says he has done some things he wishes he could take back, but he is who he is. He says that Magnus brought back what happened at BFG 2010, but we all saw how that ended up at Victory Road 2011. Hardy says that those mistakes will not be repeated. He thought about his family and he says that he loves to entertain the creatures. He says that Dixie wanted to give him tons of money and a lifetime contract, but he knows if he did that, she would own him. No body owns him, and nobody owns the creatures. He said that he told her to stick her offer.

Dixie interrupts him and comes into the cage. She says that he wants to compare himself to AJ Styles, well, she sees one similarity. Everything they have they owe to her. She says that she stood by him during all his mistakes, and not these creatures. She says that they all abandoned him, but because of her, he got to keep his job. She says he has to do what is best for his family, and if he doesn't work with Dixie, what will happen to them. Dixie says that they will have nothing, and he should make the right decision. Since this is such an important match, she will stay out here and watch it.

Magnus then comes down and the announcers hype about what Dixie said to Hardy. JB does his introductions and we are set to go.
