- On the broadcast, TNA Management Director Jim Cornette began the drawings to pair up the “Egotistical 8” for this Sunday’s Deuces Wild Tournament. Sting was up first and he drew “Cowboy” James Storm as his partner. Storm objected and got into a brawl with the icon, leading to a No Disqualification match later on between the two, which Sting won.

- The second “Egotistical 8” pairing on the broadcast saw Matt Morgan and Kip James named partners for the Pay-Per-View. Morgan and James ended up getting in a war of words and later had a match of their own to hopefully settle their differences before Sunday night. Morgan won the bout with his big boot finisher on Kip James.

- The remaining stars in the Egotistical 8 (BG James, Booker T, Awesome Kong and Robert Roode) will be paired up this Sunday on Pay-Per-View prior to the tournament kicking off. The tournament will also feature the teams of The Latin American Xchange, Christian Cage & Rhino, Team 3D and AJ Styles & Super Eric all fighting to become the new TNA World Tag Team Champions.

- Kurt Angle and Scott Steiner promised to put aside their differences for one match as they faced TNA World Heavyweight Champion Samoa Joe and Kevin Nash in the main event. After Steiner smashed Nash with his steel pipe, Angle hit the Olympic Slam on “Big Sexy” for the win. However, after the win Angle and Steiner went after each other! This Sunday at Sacrifice, Joe will defend the World Title against Angle and Steiner in a three-way match.

- Also on the broadcast, Cornette set up an immunity match between the TNA Knockouts involved in this Sunday’s makeover match. Gail Kim won the bout, gaining immunity from having her head shaved if she were to lose the bout this Sunday on Pay-Per-View.

- A brawl erupted on the broadcast between Team 3D and Christian Cage and Rhino as both tandems fought throughout the arena in a preview of Sundays Deuces Wild Tournament. However, LAX got involved in the fight and ended up taking down both teams!

- Jimmy Rave of the Rock N’ Rave Infection won an X Division match, besting X Champion “Maple Leaf Muscle” Petey Williams, Consequences Creed, Johnny Devine, Shark Boy and Curry Man. Rave won the match thanks to outside interference from his tag team partner Lance Hoyt.

I didnt like the idea of putting the partners against each other. Especially when they just happen to dislike each other. One teaming like that was fine, but two was not needed & three definatitly isnt. Here's hoping for a Roode & Kong teaming.

I wouldent have had Gail win. Personnally id have given it to one of the lower card Knockouts. Even Jacquline. Just someone that isnt in the title picture so they can be considered a treath. As it stands Gail & ODB are the only legit challengers. Roxxi maybe.

I seen the injury for Petey & the good news is it was a complete accident. It could of happened to anyone, unfortunatly it was a champion. Delighted that Rave won anyway

A good show but not great. Not good enough for the last before a PPV. A lot of guys were missing from the show, AJ Styles being the big one. Overall a C -.

Devine should have won the X division match, and i agree about the tag team and the knockouts situations that god pointed out.
