TNA iMPACT!
November 1st Week
Christian Cage started the show by coming out to the ring and bragged about destroying Ken Shamrock at Bound for Glory. Christian then said that he made TNA what it is today and demanded to be rewarded the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Samoa Joe came out and said that he was undefeated in TNA for over a year after his debut and said he doubts Cage can beat him. Cage then challenged Joe to put the title on the line at Genesis to which Joe accepted but Christian turned psycho and acted like he was rejected and got in Joe's face. Samoa Joe then snapped and attacked Christian and hit a Muscle Buster for good riddance.
Backstage, Robert Roode was with Miss Brooks and cut a promo on Andrew "Test" Martin interfering and attacking both him and Rhyno at Bound for Glory. Roode warned Test to stay out of his business tonight.

2) "Cowboy" James Storm & Lance Hoyt (w/ Jackie Moore) defeated Jerry Lynn & Senshi
- Storm pinned Lynn following a Super Kick at the same time that Hoyt pinned Senshi following a Big Boot in a short match which saw the X-Division tag team get over-powered. After the match, the lights went out and when they came back on Sabu appeared and threw steel chairs at Storm and Hoyt.
Backstage, Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley cut a promo on Kevin Nash being forced to retire following Bound for Glory and… you guessed it… blamed Canada. Sabin said that they would avenge Nash by making the Canadians lives a living hell.
3) "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles defeated Shark Boy, Jay Lethal and Eric Young
- A competitive four-way tag team match that saw a lot of action involving Styles and Young. AJ Styles pinned Shark Boy following the Styles Clash.

Styles then attacked both Lethal and Young until Petey Williams made the save.
Kurt Angle was shown backstage and talked about being an "icon" for young fans and superstars to look up to. Angle then said that fans and wrestlers will always look up to him because he will always be better than them. Angle then claimed, the only reason he didn't regain his title is because Sting got in the way and got himself pinned before Angle could get pumped up. Angle called Sting a loser and said he'd prove it tonight.
4) Leviathan (w/ James Mitchell) defeated Sting
- Sting started out with the match in his favour but Leviathan managed to fight back and gain dominance and kept Sting on the ground for several minutes. Sting managed to battle out of a corner and hit a Stinger Splash on Leviathan and was setting up for the Scorpion Deathlock but James Mitchell distracted the referee as Kurt Angle ran in and hit an Olympic Slam on Sting and allowed Leviathan to pin him for the win. After the match, Leviathan continued the beatdown on Sting until Abyss made the save. Abyss helped Sting to his feet as Leviathan, Angle and James Mitchell walked up the ramp, looking back at the ring as the show came to a close.
