-Following a commercial break, Hulk Hogan's music hits and he makes his way down to the ring with Sting following close behind. Hogan makes some weird joke about card playing – six aces and a full hand? – and introduces "The Icon" Sting. They said they had to make a deal with the devel to keep Aces & Eights out of Impact Wrestling. Surprisingly, the World Tag Team Champions (of the World) make their way out.
Christopher Daniels tells Hogan he picked the most untustworthy guy in the locker room to face Aces & Eights, and questions why they didn't choose everybody's favorite tag team. Kazarian calls Hogan "Thunder Lips" and says the solution is threefold: a) cancel the Tag Title match at Bound for Glory, b) say "no thank you" to Bully Ray, and c) pick Kurt Angle to represent TNA.
Bully Ray makes his way out to make things more chaotic. He says Kurt Angle would have been a great choice, if it was going to be a "wrestling match" at Bound for Glory. But it's going to be a fight, and Bully Ray is the best fighter on Impact Wrestling. Bully says he's gotta earn their trust, so tonight he proposes that he and Sting take on the "World tag world Champions of whatever" later tonight. The crowd goes crazy at that idea, the Champions freak out, and Hogan books the match for tonight's main event!
Commercial Break
(2) Hernandez (w/ Chavo Guerrero) vs. AJ Styles
AJ Styles doesn't even bother trying to lock up with big Supermex, and instead takes him down with several well-placed kicks to the knees. Hernandez charges out of the corner, but Styles floats over and tries to execute a sunset flip pin, but Hernandez grabs him by the throat and powers him back up to his feet! Hernandez with a huge irish whip to the corner, and the force bounces Styles off the turnbuckle and sends him down to the mat. Supermex locks in a bear hug in the middle of the ring, as the Impact Zone slowly gets behind Styles with "Let's Go AJ" chants.
He eventually breaks free, but gets taken right back down with a painful shoulder block from Hernandez. Supermex goes for another big shoulder tackle, but Styles leapfrogs over him and sends him to the outside with a standing dropkick. Styles goes springboard off the top rope, but Hernandez sends him clear across the ring with a HUGE shoulder tackle, and gets the upset victory!
Winner: Hernandez
