Winner: Shocker
- #5 in the Greatest Moments in TNA History: AJ Styles winning the NWA World Title for the first time in June of 2003 by defeating Jeff Jarrett.
- Backstage, Shane Douglas was with the 3 Live Kru. Konnan and Killings question where BG James' loyalty has been with the Kru lately. James says he may have done a few things in the past that they may question, but says they are family and his actions tonight will speak louder than words. He asks both to trust him and they "knuckle up."
- A video package runs hyping The Outlaw vs. Ron "The Truth" Killings match tonight. That match is up next.
