– MVP enters the ring as the man in full control of TNA. Chants of M-V-P ring loud as he says that Dixieland is officially closed. First issue is Bully Ray. Regardless of his past, Bully Ray will be on equal footing when it comes to TNA. Then MVP tells us how he will direct operations now that he is in charge. 1) Motivate 2) Validate, and 3) Participate. It’s just that simple…. and Magnus’ music hits as he interrupts MVP. Boo’s ring out as Magnus states that the MVP Principle is the most ridiculous thing he’s ever heard which draws a huge “YOU SUCK” chant from the fans and a reply from MVP saying “more ridiculous than your title run?”. To that, Magnus brings out his “insurance policy” Abyss. The fired up crowd shouts You Sold Out. While Magnus bores everyone with his speech, the crowd then breaks into We Want Joe, and then Paper Champion chants. MVP has a great response: “The way I see it, at Lockdown, you were getting your English ass kicked all over the ring by Samoa Joe until miraculously, you literally pulled a monster out of your ass so that you could come up with that victory”. MVP says that the conversation can’t go on until the #1 contender to the Heavyweight Champion joins them in the ring. Samoa Joe walks to the ring and shows signs of the beating he took at Lockdown. MVP announces that it will be Magnus vs. Samoa Joe next week, but right now it’s Joe vs. Abyss!
Samoa Joe vs. Abyss
The red hot crowd live in Orlando is cheering wildly for Samoa Joe as we return from break. Joe is taped up in several places and is doing his best to fight through the pain, but a more calm than normal Abyss takes control of the match. During the match, Tenay and Taz discuss how Dixie Carter’s life came crumbling down in Miami at Lockdown. Joe makes a brief comeback but Abyss regains control until a massive power slam by Joe on the monster. After a headbutt by Joe, he comes off the ropes but is caught by a vicious chokeslam by Abyss who then heads out of the ring for his favorite weapon to use on Joe. Eric Young hits the ring and hits a missile dropkick on Abyss to cause a DQ.
Back from break, Jeremy Borash is in the back waiting on Bully Ray, then we see a short Willow promo.
Back in the ring, we are introduced to Brittany with a video. She is welcomed by a match with Gail Kim accompanied by Lei’D Tapa.

– We see Bully Ray enter the back with the Team Dixie thugs jumping “the insurance policy” and beating him down. While Bully is being choked with his chain, Bobby Roode gets in Bully’s face and says you screwed me and then knocks him out with a wooden sign all the while screaming “you don’t screw with me”.
DJ Z introduces the Bro Mans – the Tag Team Champions. And that horn drives everyone crazy!!!!
Next out is Sanada – the new X Division Champion and Tigre Uno.
Tenay hypes the new partnership from Japan, and we get a video of Sanada with the Great Muta. Mutoh tells Sanada that he has high expectations for him.

– Rockstar Spud & EC3 come to the ring to pay honor to Dixie Carter, complete with a giant picture of Carter. The crowd craps all over the segment, chanting one thing after another as Spud pays tribute to Dixie. A ridiculous video is played of Dixie Carter, purely for comedic reasons. Spud has prepared a reading as well, but before he can make it to the second verse he’s interrupted by MVP. MVP ends the segment, but wants to keep Spud around, AS A WRESTLER. Spud says he’s too small, smaller than some of the Knockouts. But MVP talks him into wrestling. MVP makes a match with Spud vs. Willow (Jeff Hardy)! MVP then makes a match between EC3 and Bobby Lashley for next week! EC3 declines the match because Lashley isn’t on the active roster, but MVP announces that he has signed Lashley to a contract! Lashley takes the picture of Dixie and smashes it on the head of Spud and then has a stare down with EC3.

Love says she thinks it’s time to bring the “Beautiful People” back together. Sky says a lot has changed and she was finally able to find herself while Love was gone. Velvet says she’s moving on, and they will always have a bond, but she’s ready to move forward without Love. Angelina tries to talk Sky into reuniting, but Sky says she needs more time to think.
Willow vs. Rockstar Spud
