TNA Against All Odds: D'Angelo Dinero Vs. Matt Morgan

Backstage:

Bischoff is backstage with Samoa Joe, he says tonight is a whole new ballgame. Joe says he knows, the most important thing is for a company to have a champion it can believe in, and AJ Styles is not that man. Bischoff says he and Flair have more history than he cares to discuss, and he doesn't want to see Flair's boy with the championship, but with the stripes on, he feels like he has to call it down the middle. Joe says if Bischoff takes care of Flair, he'll take care of AJ. Bischoff says Joe needs to keep control of his temper, take care of AJ, and he'll take care of everything else.
