As the bell rings, all four men are in the ring. The Guns take control with a few lashes and roshambos on Beer Money. The fight spills both outside and inside as the boys from Detroit use the straps for everything you can think of. On the inside, Jacqueline tries to distract the ref, but the ref catches her and prevents the interference the first time. After the second distraction, Beer Money has control.

As the odd duo comes off the top rope, The Guns recover with a reverse atomic drop and regain control. Jacqueline tries to interfere, but gets caught in the middle of the Ground Star. But thanks to the handcuffs she throws in, Beer Money picks up the win and tries to get some more lashes in, but LAX comes in and stops them from the after-match festivities.

Fourth Bout: Taylor Wilde defeats Velvet Sky not once, not twice, but three times (TNA Knockouts Championship)

In the first match, Taylor gets a quick roll up to defeat Velvet in record time (Five Seconds). But Velvet complains and demands a rematch. After the second match begins, Taylor recovers and gets another roll up and beats her in yet another record time (20 Seconds). This time, Angelina Love gets on the mic and says that she'll put up $5000 bucks that says Taylor can't beat her again.

As the match begins for the third time, Velvet takes advantage of a missed cross body and thanks to some help from Love, gets control of the match. Sky has the Octopus applied, but the ref breaks the hold after catching Sky biting Wilde. After a double mat slam, Taylor recovers and gains control. Taylor has the win nailed until Angelina comes in and interferes.

As the duo of The Beautiful People try to apply the Paper Bag, ODB and Gail Kim come down to save the Champion.

In the back, footage is shown of JB with Sonjay Dutt...at the hospital...with VAL?! Call me crazy, but I think she's giving Dutt the love and her fiancee the shaft!

Main Event: Team Angle wins the Five-Way Tables Elimination Match

As the match begins, all six men are on the outside slugging it out. Angle and Cage have made their way into the ring only to wind up back outside as AJ and Brother Ray wind up inside. Styles shoots a cross body on Brother Ray while Brother D-Von chokes Rhino with a cable cord. The action moves back into the ring as Team 3D grabs a table.

Team 3D has Styles on the table, but thanks to the quick thinking of Cage and Rhino, Brother D-Von is sent through it instead and eliminated. Following a Gore from Rhino, Angle returns and plays home run derby with a steel chair.

Back on IMPACT!, Angle and Brother Ray are assaulting Cage after Rhino's elimination. Cage has Angle set up on the table, but thanks to interference from an eliminated Brother D-Von and a 3D, The Instant Classic gets sent through the table and eliminated. Following a Pele, AJ sets up Brother Ray on a table, but Johnny Devine comes in and interferes. The problem: He throws the powder in Ray's eyes. His reward? Being powerbombed through a table.

As Ray tries to cover his eyes, AJ uses Angle's momentum to eliminate Brother Ray. But after another interference from UFC washout Frank Trigg, AJ Styles is eliminated via the Olympic Slam as Kurt wins the match for his team.

Conclusion: Booker T and Samoa Joe Faceoff

Back on IMPACT!, Booker T and Sharmell make their way to the ring, and Joe makes his way down with Kevin Nash. Booker demands that Nash leave the ring, but Joe agrees only if Booker's "bat-wielding wench" goes too. As both outside parties leave the ring, Booker T signs the contract and hands it to Samoa Joe.

As Joe prepares to sign, the lights go out and Sting's music hits. As the lights come back on, Booker T stands over an unconscious Joe with one of Sting's trademark baseball bats.

For the second week in a row, no Sting. No answers. More questions. Hopefully next week, he'll actually have the balls to show up.

Next Week on IMPACT!, Beer Money faces Christian Cage and Rhino, and the winner faces TNA World Tag Team Champions LAX for the gold.

See ya tomorrow for WWE Friday Night SmackDown!
