"Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen, this is TNA HD, live from the iMPACT Zone in Orlando Florida. Genesis is January 18th, 10 days from now. Tonight, we will have a lot of matches set for the event. But first, lets find out, in Jim Cornette's office, who will challenge for the TNA Knockout's Championship!" Don West says to open the show.
Backstage: Knockout Championship #1 Contender
"Ladies, Ladies, Ladies! Wait! Calm down!" Jim Cornette yells. All of the knockouts continued to yell. "I SAID CALM DOWN!" Cornette yelled. The women finally stopped talking to listen. "I know that many of you want to challenge Taylor Wilde for the Knockout's title at Genesis...but I already made up my mind! At Genesis...Taylor Wilde...will be defending...against Awesome Kong!" Cornette announced.
A loud thud is heard on the wall. The women jump and quickly run out of the office. Jeremy Borash looks stunned. "Really, Awesome Kong?" he asks. Jim Cornette sits down and sighs before banging his head on his desk.
"She said if I didn't make her #1 Contender she was gonna injure every Knockout in TNA...and I know, she would do it." Cornette says. Borash nods, and the screen fades to black.
Tag Team Title #1 Contenders Match: Abyss and Matt Morgan vs. LAX
Abyss and Matt Morgan enter to mixed reactions from the crowd. They silently get into the ring, and exchange some brief words.
LAX enter to a large pop, they pose with a few fans before meeting Abyss and Morgan in the ring. The two teams shake hands before the match starts. The ref rings the bell, and the match begins with Homicide and Abyss. Homicide quickly runs at the Monster, but Abyss clotheslines him down.
Abyss goes for a quick pin. But only gets a minor 1 count. Abyss picks up Homicide and tags in Matt, who starts to beat down on Homicide as well. Matt kicks Hernandz down and picks up Homicide for the Morgan Elevator Drop. He connects, and gets a quick pinfall.
"What?! LAX didn't stand a chance!" Mike Tenay exclaims. Matt Morgan and Abyss leave the ring and walk towards the back, while LAX attempt to recover in the ring.
Backstage: Christian Cage
"Adam? Yeah, its Christian...uh...so about that offer you said they were going to make me? WHAT? THAT MUCH? Oh, wait, someone's here." Christian says and closes his phone. JB walks into the room.
"Uh, Christian, Jim Cornette wants to see you in his office, right now." JB says. Christian smirks and just walks out of his locker room. JB picks up his cell phone and looks at the recent calls. "Adam Copeland? What would he be calling him for?"
Backstage: Christian and Jim Cornette
"So, uh, Jim...I heard you wanted to see me." Christian says as he walks into the office. "No, wait, don't say anything...I know what you've called me in here for, you know that I don't want to re-sign my contract...I get it, i'm out of here. Later dude." Christian turns around and walks out.
"W-Wait! Christian! Oh, god dammit!" Cornette yells and bangs his hand on the desk loudly. JB runs into the office. "JB...Christian just left TNA! And I was going to give him a title shot at Genesis...oh man...this isn't good JB...TNA needs to do something never done before-Oh....I got it!" Cornette says.
Back in the arena, Don West and Mike Tenay note that due to UFC: Ultimate Fighter Finale later in the evening, that tonight's iMPACT is only one hour, they also say that during the commercial break earlier, it was announced that Eric Young, Chris Sabin, and a secret wrestler will challenge Alex Shelly for the X-Division title at Genesis.
Main Event: Kurt Angle vs. Booker T
Kurt Angle makes his way down the entrance ramp. Don West note that Kurt Angle will challenge Sting at Genesis for the TNA title, as announced the week before. Angle gets in the ring and asks for a microphone.
"So thats how it is Christian...running back to the WWE with your tail between your legs...well, don't worry, TNA will do better without you! But...enough about that...in 10 days. 10 little days, I will challenge Sting for the TNA Heavyweight Championship, thats an INSULT TO ME! I've beaten Sting, way too many times before...so, after Genesis...there will be a NEW TNA World Heavy-"
Sting runs down to the ring and attacks Angle. Angle starts to fight back, but Sting hits him in the side with a black baseball bat. Angle falls down to one knee, and Sting picks him up and punches him down. Sting picks up the microphone.
"Things change Kurt...but...my hate for you...hasn't changed. One bit." Sting says and hits Kurt with the microphone. The TNA logo appears at the bottom of the screen and the show goes off the air with the announcers upset that the Main Event didn't happen, but promise two hours of TNA next week.
