MVP opens this episode of Impact Wrestling and he is heated at Abyss. His intention to make sure wrestlers get ahead on their own merits has been thwarted and he has come to a decision with the board of directors. Magnus and Abyss interrupt. The champ reminds MVP that the big man works for him and not TNA. MVP clarifies that Abyss can only be in the ring when Magnus and asks if he can produce the paperwork. Magnus assures him he can. MVP gets in Abyss’ face and tells him he won’t fire him but he will see another side of MVP if he ever puts his hands on him again.

MVP asks if Abyss wants more out of life and a world heavyweight title shot. Magnus says no but MVP reminds him that he said Abyss can only be in the ring when Magnus is in the ring. A three way match for the title is made between Abyss vs. Samoa Joe vs. Magnus. Joe comes into the ring and says the only thing he ever asked for was a fair shot at the title and now he is in a handicap match. MVP assures him that Magnus can’t control Abyss and it will be a true three way battle. Joe tells MVP that he is about to have a problem with him and MVP politely asks Joe to calm down.

Magnus makes fun of the tension between the two and Joe punches him out. Abyss jumps Joe from behind and MVP pulls him off to even things up. Abyss gets the upper hand on MVP until Eric Young comes in to throw a few right hands and knocks Abyss out of the ring with a drop kick and we go to commercial.

We are back and EY says he has the solution to MVP’s Abyss problem. EY says Abyss is his responsibility and wants in the three way match so he can keep Joe and Magnus one on one. MVP says he hasn’t earned a title shot. EY gets right in MVP face and tells him he has been in TNA for ten years while MVP has only been in the company for ten minutes. EY rifles off all of his championship accomplishments and mentions how some feel he is the most entertaining wrestler on the planet.

EY calls himself a world class professional wrestler and Joe cuts in to remind him that there is a line and EY is not at the head of it. Joe says EY gets nothing until he gets his fair world title shot. MVP says he can’t deny a man a chance that wants to do great things and puts him in the match, making it a four way for next week. Joe is pissed and gets right in EY’s face. Joe pie faces him and gets taken down for his troubles and the two brawl until Joe gets the upper hand with vicious elbows. Referees break it up and Joe starts screaming in the microphone and calls out EY for wanting to play with the big boys and asks for a match this evening and MVP grants his request.

Love says Velvet used to have swag but has become mediocre ever since the Beautiful People disbanded. She goes on to tell Velvet that she is becoming another forgetful face in TNA. Velvet says a lot has changed and Love says Velvet is the only thing that has changed and that she would rather be blackballed by the business instead of being someone’s beeyotch. Love tells Velvet she better pick a side by the time the ending bell rings in her match against Madison Rayne this evening.

The Hunt for Willow Continues: Carter and Spud are  still looking for Willow. Spud asks if they can quit soon because it’s almost night time.

Bully Ray enters the ring, motions to the back and several fans walk down the ramp with tables. There are seven tables in and around the ring side area. Bully asks the crowd if he has enough tables and says he bought every single one that have. He asks if they know who he is and says he is the guy who made sure Dixie Carter is no longer part of TNA. Bully says Bobby Roode would have been just like Dixie Carter if Team Dixie on at Lockdown and the last thing pro wrestling needs is another owner like Dixie Carter.

Bully says no more talking and asks the crowd if they wants to see Roode get put through five tables. Roode comes out to the ramp and says the guy he was at Lockdown doesn’t exist anymore. The thought of being an owner blinded him but not anymore. Roode says he spit in Dixie Carter’s face long before spitting in Dixie Carter’s face was cool. Roode asks Bully “DO YOU KNOW WHO I’AM?” Bully tells him to stop running his mouth, get in the ring and fight him, now. Roode says Bully doesn’t call the shots.

Abyss says he hates losing and Magnus tells him he needs to get used to it because their business arrangement states that it’s all about Magnus keeping the world title.
