-AJ Styles makes his way to the ring, in suit, to kick off the show. AJ says that everyone needs to shut up. Now due to his celebration and his victory party, Ric Flair will be here later. Speaking of victory, it was a sweet one last night. He proved that pound for pound, that he is the best in the world. At Lockdown, he stepped into the cage with one of the best and took care of business. No Ric Flair. His athletic ability was too much for the Pope. He was good, but not good enough. He tells Pope not to get down, he is like JJ, Sting, Angle, they are no better than the Pope. It doesn't matter where or when it is, AJ is the best. Best looking, best athlete, the workhorse of TNA. So all of the guys in the back ready to jump on the bandwagon, well, it isn't slowing down anytime soon.
-Mr. Monday Night Rob Van Dam makes his way out now. He's the whole FN show, doncha know. Crowd loves RVD. RVD says that it may confuse AJ, but that is called a crowd reaction. RVD says he heard AJ talk, and he does a lot of that, and AJ seems to think he is the best in TNA. "AJ SUCKS" chant. RVD says he doesn't suck, and maybe he was the best at some time, but it is obvious to everyone that times have changed. RVD knows AJ is upset that he took all of this time in TNA, and he is used to getting all of the attention. RVD says he is very good, but he has never been that impressed. AJ is having a hard time because all of the wrestlers want to be in TNA, and that is not good for AJ. How can AJ says he deserves the top spot over some of the guys, like "ROB VAN DAM."
-Jeff Hardy now makes HIS way to the ring. He and RVD shake, crowd loves Jeff. He says AJ has a big head, and at least he is modest. AJ has done a lot, but Jeff is here to do more, and the movement has begun. The Charismatic Enigma is here to complete his world title collection with the TNA World Title.
-And now Hulk Hogan is coming out. He hugs RVD and Jeff, and has a mic. This is what he is talking about. THIS is why everyone is taking about TNA. That is why he brought these guys here. But, it is all about the title, brother. Everyone in the back, listen up. Up your game, because he is raising the bar. He gives AJ respect for holding the title, he is the best. But when you are the champion, things happen, and there is the business of being the champion. Big paychecks, girls and all. That's why they all want the title. When Hogan was champ, it changed his life. Each night, you have to prove you are the best. There is always a target on your back, and there is always another guy waiting. Hogan cuts the crap and asks RVD and Jeff, how bad do they want the title? Will they put their friendship aside to see who is the best? Will they do it tonight? They shake and Hogan says that is great. Tonight they will do what they do best, tear the house down, while the crowd chants TNA! But, after tonight, when it is all said and done, the man that gets the 1, 2, 3, the winner, will get a shot at AJ and the title. AJ does NOT approve. AJ says you have to consult with him. He won't be ready by Sacrifice. Hogan says he makes the matches, and it isn't about Sacrifice. Hogan says he is talking about this. The winner gets a shot?TONIGHT ON IMPACT!
