*Shane Douglas interviewed AJ Styles about his Street Fight with Shannon Moore tonight and would be challenging Samoa Joe for the X-Division championship at Against All Odds.

*They showed Sting’s locker room.
*A-1 & Petey Williams & Eric Young defeated Shark Boy & Ron Killings & Lance Hoyt.
*The James Gang defeated Kenny King & Buck Quartermaine. Homicide and Konnan appeared on the video screen after the match challenging the James Gang to a match at Against All Odds.

They noted that Sting’s transportation was delayed so he wouldn’t appear on Impact until “next week” and would announce who Jeff Jarrett would defend the NWA title against at Against All Odds next week as well. Monty Brown appeared and cut a promo about Sting being the flavor of the month.
*Shannon Moore defeated AJ Styles in a Street Fight. Alex Shelley came out and was videotaping the match. Samoa Joe watched from the apron. Christopher Daniels got on the apron and threw in the towel but Styles got up and stared at Daniels. Moore rolled up Styles for the pin.

*Christian Cage came out to the ring talking about Sting coming to TNA. Jeff Jarrett came out with a contract for the next PPV and said he wouldn’t be facing Sting. Jarrett said that after the PPV, Cage would be back working the mid-card and slapped him. This led to a brawl with Brown, Rhino, and Abyss. Brown was left in the ring with the contract, teasing that he would sign for the match against Jarrett.
Impact Airing 1/28:
*Team 3D defeated Kenny King & Buck Quartermaine. 3D noted that they were voted Tag Team of the Year and thanked the fans. They said they couldn’t decide who they wanted to face so they are going to let the fans vote on TNAWrestling.com to decide 3D’s opponents at Against All Odds.
*Backstage, Jerry Lynn was with Alex Shelley & Roderick Strong & Austin Aries. Lynn said that it was good that they won two matches but they still had to prove themselves.

Sting said that after being out of the ring for 5 years, it was emotional to get back in the ring at the PPV. He said goodbye and left his bat in the ring. They teased he was leaving and retiring from the business since he got to have one last match. Several workers came out to hug him goodbye and Christian appeared to be questioning why Sting was leaving.
