Sting comes out to the ring and says it's great to be back in Atlanta, and last year he was the first man inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame. He says it's a night he'll never forget, but this year hasn't been too great and he's been duped by Bully Ray a few times. Sting says he failed at his title shot at Slammiversary, and Bully sent wave after wave to fight him and finally his strength gave out. Sting says there's one thing he will remember, and that is the fact that no one tried to come and help him. He says the Aces & Eights are a finely tuned machine, and they are like family, so maybe he needs to make his own family. Sting says he needs people to trust, and he needs a family, but maybe he should call it a 'mafia,' and the new Main Event Mafia is going to rise again and take the Aces down.
