-Booker T is now out, and after a commercial Booker congratulates Joe for beating Kaz, WHOOPTY DOO, you won a trip to Universal! These people don’t give a damn about Joe, and he wants to know what they think about Joe screwing him at Slammiversary. He then calls Joe a punk ass paper champion. If it wasn’t for Nash, he would have been the champion. Booker demands an explanation. But then tells Joe to shut up because he doesn’t want to hear a lame excuse. Booker wants to know if Joe can look at himself in the mirror and say he beat Booker T. Did he beat a real man? Booker is heading to the back, to his locker room, and the door will be open. There is no door on his locker room. He will be waiting, and he wants Joe to show him what kind of champion he really is. Can you dig?

-TO THE BACK as Lauren is with Kurt Angle. She says Karen played a part in AJ beating him and that people think Kurt got what was coming to him. He calls her stupid, asks how many matches she had and such. Kurt says Spike thinks that hot chicks equal ratings. He got a letter from Spike, and Karen has signed a contract with Spike as a talent, and since there is no violence on women on TV, he can get fires for touching her. SO HE PUT A HIT OUT ON HER! There are a locker room full of women that don’t think she belongs and someone will come after her, and she won’t know when and where. By the end of the night, she’ll be o her back, while AJ lies right beside her, comatose. Karen will be embarrassed like he has been, tonight, will be her last night in TNA. It’s real.

-JB is with Davari, the captain of Team International. He speaks gibberish, they run subtitles, and he is here with his team to destroy all of the other teams. Rock on. Saeed is here and says Kong is NOT through punishing the people and next week, she goes back to work taking out one American at a time. Kong will not be kind or gentle anymore, blood will be shed on innocent victims.

-TO THE BACK as JB is with Karen Angle. He says good job getting the contract, and they discuss Kurt and the hit he put out on her. She says Kurt will call this off for the sakes of their kids. JB goes to defuse the situation, but as he does, The Beautiful People are here and are pissed that she will be making double what they are making. They call her a bitch and say they never liked her. There is a pecking order, and it is the Beautiful People and then everyone else. They try to brownbag her, and AJ is here to save her. AJ says they don’t want any trouble and to run to Kurt, and tell him anyone that wants to mess with Karen has to go through him first. Love says they are above this high school musical drama. But if AJ wants to have a real woman, he knows where to find them.

~NASH AND JOE DRAMA~
Lauren is with Nash in the back. He says that controversy and money breath the same air. They discuss Booker and Joe, and Nash says Booker has been doing this a long time. Booker touched him and that invited him into the match. Nash says she watched the match and she can decide if what Booker said was true.

Joe is out in the arena now and says since Nash is so opinionated that Nash can say what he has to say to Joe’s face. Nash says they can do this in the back, but Joe says he can say anything he wants in front of the fans and to the world. Shave the sugar off of your lips and say what you got to say big man! Nash says he might not want to hear what he has to say, and maybe the only reason Joe has the strap is because the big man took care of business. A simple thank you may be in order. Joe says Nash should thank him for allowing him to ride his coattails every week. Nash reminds him that he is in fact KEVIN NASH. Nash says that Joe can’t beat Booker T, and it is because it is mental and he is already in his head. You can’t beat Booker. Joe says Nash can stick that up his ass, and leaves.

-JB searched for Kurt Angle and finds him, meeting with Steiner and Rhaka Khan. He gets dismissed.
