IMPACT! Opens this week with the Main Event Mafia on their way to the ring. Sting leads the line followed by Kevin Nash, Booker T and Sharmell with Scott Steiner at the back. Once in the ring Nash takes the mic and announces what we all suspected since last week’s show. Matt Morgan is indeed the newest member of the Mafia.
Morgan makes his way out to the ring on cue dressed in an expensive suit like the rest of the Mafia are. Morgan climbs into the ring and thanks Sting for giving him this opportunity. Just as Morgan was about to give a speech, Kurt Angle interrupts.
The former Main Event Mafia leader makes his way to the ring with a look of confuse meant on his face. In the ring, Angle questions the addition of Morgan. Angle says he started the Mafia as an elite group, Angle then accepts he was voted out but will not accept the Mafia replacing him with someone so inferior. Morgan takes exception to those comments and offers to prove himself against Angle, tonight. Angle accepts the challenge for later tonight.

Suicide, Consequences Creed and Shark Boy
The first match of the evening saw many different styles as an Iranian, an Englishman and a Japanese wrestler took on three Americans. Shark Boy was targeted as the weak link by the international team and thus was isolated from his corner for much of the match. Shark Boy got a lucky break when Kiyoshi and Williams collided during an attempted double team. Shark Boy made it back to safety and tagged in Suicide. Suicide wasted no time in showing his ability in the ring and almost won the match within a few seconds but Bashir broke the count. This prompted Creed to return to the action and a six man brawl ensued in which Shane Sewell lost all aspects of control. Sewell stood back and let them go at it. Eventually the ring cleared down to just Bashir and Suicide. Suicide attempted the D.A.O. but Bashir blocked it. Bashir took a short cut by raking the eyes of Suicide before connecting with the W.M.D. for the three count.
Result: Sheik Abdul Bashir, Doug Williams and Kiyoshi via Pinfall.
Bashir made sure that Shane Sewell raised his arm after the match to let him know that he has not forgotten about their history.
Brutus Magnus comes to the ring next. Magnus is not scheduled to wrestle tonight and thus demands a mic. Magnus keeps it short and simple. Magnus claims it is a disgrace that someone of his ability isn’t on the Pay Per View card. Magnus says he will take matters into his own hands once again and prove to TNA Management that he is the real deal. Magnus goes on to issue an open challenge to not just TNA, but to anyone in the world. Magnus remains confidant of victory and even goes so far as to guarantee it.

Samoa Joe and Rhino
Four of the toughest guys in TNA locked up in a battle simply to continue momentum ahead of Lockdown. With the Mafia already getting the first entry into Lethal lockdown, the Frontline needs a big win to get them back on track. Both sides were evenly matched and no-one was giving away anything. Booker and Steiner were able to take advantage whenever the chance came. Booker caught Rhino with the Axe Kick while Steiner had the referee distracted. Joe tried to intervene but ended up hurting Rhino as Steiner and Booker double teamed him. Steiner put Rhino in the Steiner Recliner and Joe has had enough. Joe leaves the ring but quickly re-enters on the far side. Joe connects with a knee to the head of Steiner as Booker inadvertily distracted Andrew Thomas. Joe hit a T-Bone suplex before Rhino hit the Gore on Steiner. Joe took out Booker to allow Rhino to pick up the three count.
Result: Rhino and Samoa Joe via Pinfall.
Booker dragged Steiner out of the ring and helped him backstage as the Mafia take a big hit just days before Lockdown.
We go backstage now where Lauren is standing by with the Motor City Machine Guns. Alex Shelley is confidant of regaining his X-Division Championship at Lockdown as Jimmy Rave stole it at Destination X. Shelley says there will not be anymore mistakes on his part as the stakes are too high right now. Chris Sabin on the other hand tells Shelley to relax and even if he doesn’t win at Lockdown, its not the end of the world. Sabin says he will be winning the Steel Asylum and becoming the number one contender anyway. Sabin says the worst case scenario is Sabin vs. Rave at Sacrifice, whereas the best case scenario is Sabin vs. Shelley. Either way, the X-Division title is coming back to Detroit.

Jimmy Rave and Eric Young
High paced action like you’d expect from four of the best in the X-Division. Even though it wasn’t a title match, these four treated it like one as they all put everything into getting the win. Rave thought he had it won when he Rocked Chris Sabin’s World but Shelley was on hand to break it up. Shelley likewise thought he had it won when he hit the Sliced Bread on Young but Rave this time broke it up. Shelley and Rave, somewhat predictably, targeted each other and ended up exchanging shots on the outside. In the ring, Eric Young got Sabin up for the Death Valley Driver but was unable to connect. Sabin slipped out and got Young up for the Cradle Shock, which Sabin was able to connect with and pick up the win for his team.
Result: The Motor City Machine Guns via Pinfall.
Shelley and Rave continued their exchange on the outside until Chris Sabin intervened. Sabin clipped the knee of Rave from behind and Shelley took advantage. Shelley drove Rave head first into the ramp with a snap DDT. Shelley and Sabin stand over Rave for the second week running.
We go to the office of Knockout Law Traci Brooks next where she is waiting to make an announcement regarding Lockdown. Traci, with SoCal Val beside her, announced the return of the Queen of the Cage match. Ten TNA Knockouts start on the outside and fight to get into the cage. The first two to successfully enter the cage will then face off in a straight up one on one match. The winner, will face the TNA Knockouts Champion at Sacrifice.

Matt Morgan
Morgan used his vast size advantage to his advantage and dominated Angle for much of the match. Despite the beating being dished out, Angle was able to take it and fight back showing his toughness. Angle thought he had stolen the match with a quick Angle slam but Morgan kicked out. Morgan hit back with the Carbon Footprint but his cockiness allowed Angle time to recover. Morgan pulled Angle to his feet to attempt the Hellavator. Angle fought it and caught Morgan with a Small Package to gain the three count and the win.
Result: Kurt Angle via Pinfall.
Following the match Morgan went on the offence again as he jumped Angle to teach him a lesson in pain. Angle tried to fight it off and received help from an unlikely source. AJ Styles, eager to get some momentum going before Lockdown took it to Morgan. Scott Steiner and Booker T ran in to outnumber Styles prompting a run in from Samoa Joe and Jay Lethal. Kevin Nash and Sting once again put the Mafia in control before Rhino made his presence felt with a Gore on Booker. Kurt Angle took a cheap shot at Sting with a Low Blow from behind before he made his getaway leaving the Mafia to battle the Frontline in the ring. Angle watched the carnage from the ramp way for a few seconds before turning into a Guitar shot from Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett mounted Angle and went to town with right hands. TNA Security move in but they are going to need a lot of help to separate these men anytime soon. The carnage continues as we go off the air.
