? Video package highlighting last week's Jarrett-Foley bout.

? Video from earlier today. Hogan tried apologizing for Eric Bischoff's actions last week and Jarrett said he doesn't have to apologize, it was all on Eric. Hogan says he has tons of respect for Jarrett and he wants to give Jarrett another start. He makes a match between AJ Styles and Jeff Jarrett for tonight, if Jarrett wins, he will become the number one contender after LockDown.

In comes Jay Lethal! He lets us know Hogan isn't going to be on the show tonight. Laaame. Lethal asks to pull in for Hogan and references the Megapowers. Hulk Hogan does a Macho Man impression and puts Lethal in charge for the evening...I think.

? WOLFPAC IN THE HOOOOOOOOUSE~! The Band's music plays (which is the Wolfpac music for those who missed it) and they are out with Bubba the Love Sponge. Sponge calls the fans in attendance marks and says not one of them wouldn't want to be him. Bubba says he doesn't need the job but if he's going to work in TNA, he wants to hang out with The Band. They get what he does. He says Christy Hemme and Jeremy Borash have no business interviewing The Band so he will do it from now on. He calls Eric Young Vince Young and says Big Sexy has some words for Nash.

Bubba hands off the stick to Kevin Nash and he talks about his friendship with EY. He wants to apologize to Eric Young and calls him out.

EY is out by himself. Nash says what he did was wrong but they're friends. What he did was business, not personal. If there is anyone that should join The Band, it's Eric Young. Nash tries to call the six man tag off and says Hardy and RVD aren't in their league. He asks EY to join The Band. Young punches Nash. Pac and Hall try to take him out but he punches them. EY turns his attention to Bubba but that allows Nash attack him from behind. The Band take over from there. Nash says Young had a chance and kicks him. Hall delivers a right hand and that brings out Jeff Hardy and Rob Van Dam. The Band and Bubba leave the scene immediately.

Jeff Hardy gets on the microphone and says he's ready to do the six man right now. He says since they think they're the main event, they'll make it the main event. In honor of LockDown, the six man tag will take place inside a Steel Cage. I didn't think Hardy's theme song could get any worse but he actually sings it in the middle of the ring as we head to commercial.

? Doug Williams and Brian Kendrick are out for our opening tag match. Shannon Moore and Frankie Kazarian are their tag partners. Taz references that Dilligaf thing. If I cared about Moore, I'd probably Google it. Taz mentions possible dissention between Kendrick and Williams because of that promo Williams gave a few weeks back bashing the flippy guys of the X Division.

WINNERS: Shannon Moore and Kazarian
Good opening match. I hate Moore's thing but it makes him look good in his feud with Williams.

? Shannon Moore applies an X on the forehead of Brian Kendrick after the match.

? We're in Eric Bischoff's office. He tells someone in New York (Hogan) that he'll make it work. He calls in a secretary and tells him to keep someone out of his office.

In comes Jay Lethal! They share the Wolfpac hand gesture. Lethal says he has the card made up and asks the secretary to get Kabuki on the line. A bunch of matches between guys like King Kong Bundy and the Junk Yard Dog are on Lethal's list. Bischoff tells Lethal to come up with a main event and Lethal seems pumped for the task. He tells his secretary to get Beer Money.

? D'Angelo Dinero is out to address the fans in the Impact Zone. He starts off with his LockDown Title Match against AJ Styles. He's worked hard for it for his whole life and Styles and Flair almost took it away from him. Styles is a shadow in the streetlights and Pope is TNA's Guiding Light. Pope says he's going to give some prophetic advice. He wants Styles to go to Florida, go down to some space center and grab an astronaut suit because he's going to be taken into the outer limits by the Pope. He puts over Styles for a bit but says Styles will never be as spectacular as the Pope. He ends his promo by saying he will be the World Champion after LockDown.

Out comes Desmond Wolfe's girl Chelsea. Pope eyes her for a second and calls her a dime piece. She says Pope can do one thing for her and that one thing is to help her be a ho. He asks her if she knows how to drive a stick. She says she can't say she does but she's a quick learner. She then asks if he has a gun in his pocket or just happy to see her. Desmond Wolfe comes in but Pope sees him. Dinero decks Wolfe, knocking him out of the ring. He returns to Chelsea and gives her a kiss. He puts a Pope Dollar in her shirt and leaves. Pope-Wolfe is later tonight.

? Tara is walking backstage. Her match is next.

? We see Samoa Joe on a blurry camera. "They have spoken," he says. "The results will be different...very different." Taz and Tenay wonder who "they" are. They then go into hype mode for tonight's show. Tara and Daffney are up next with a first blood Knockouts Title match and the Band closes the show with a match against RVD, Jeff Hardy and Eric Young.

? Weird music plays and someone comes down from the rafters...in yellow caution tape. Taz lets us know it's Orlando Jordan. Wow. He crawls in the ring for a bit before turning his attention to a camera on the ramp. He crawls down the ramp and stops. Tenay and Taz look disgusted. Orlando walks around the fans for a bit and stops. Curtains raise and we see a lady and guy sitting in on a couch. OJ joins them and just watches. Odd.

? We go to Jeremy Borash in the back. She's mad because Daffney stole her spider. She says it isn't about submissions or pinfalls, it's about blood. Daffney runs in with a punch and the ladies brawl in the back. Tara slams her face against some steps. She then throws Daffney into a gate. More face first shots into the steel gate from Tara. Their match is up next.

Widow's Peak from Tara to Daffney. Daffney picks up the toolbox and slams it across the head of Daffney. Ref checks Daffney's face and there is blood (apparently).

? Kurt Angle is on his way to the Impact Zone.

? The new TNA steel cage is set up for the main event but Kurt Angle is out. Fans chant Angle as Taz and Tenay wonder why Angle is out instead of any of the men in the six man tag.
