EY says MVP is doing one hell of a job and he can’t thank MVP enough for the opportunity. He says that he isn’t a doctor and his right arm is really messed up, but this is live TV and anything can happen tonight. EY says what we just saw is him win a shot at the World Title at Sacrifice. Now an “Eric Young” chant starts up and EY says he’s feeling crazy tonight. EY says he’s already won once and everything is going his way, and he has been waiting long enough for his shot! EY says he has been waiting 10 long years so he wants his shot at the belt tonight! Magnus laughs on commentary and even says for MVP to “go for it.”
MVP asks if EY really wants to face Magnus tonight after competing in the Battle Royal, and when EY says that he does Magnus says that if that happens they’ll be having a live funeral on TV. MVP says he respects EY’s “fighting spirit” and Magnus needs to go get suited up because he will be defending the belt against EY tonight! Magnus grabs a microphone and says that is fine with him because it’s always “Magnus Rules” for him and Magnus Rules win out in the end. MVP says about the “Magnus Rules” that’s no more, and even more so if Magnus gets disqualified or counted out he will forfeit the title! MVP then says that Abyss is banned from ringside and if anyone else gets involved in the match they will be fired on the spot! Magnus says that MVP can’t do that but MVP says that he can and he did!
Dixie Carter walks into her office where Spud has a celebration waiting for her. He scares her when she walks into the office and surprises her.

Dixie walks into MVP’s office and says he gives her 10 seconds to state her case before he has security drag her out of the building. Dixie reminds him that she is still president of the company and she is not happy about the fight he had with Kenny King last week in the back. Dixie says she isn’t going anywhere and she mocks his “Motivate, Validate, Participate” acronym. Dixie says MVP does not deserve to be here and he wouldn’t if it wasn’t for one disgruntled employee. Dixie wants MVP to watch in the front row while she chews that employee and spits him out tonight because he’ll know how that feels when she does the same thing to him.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK---
The Wolves walk into MVP’s office with Davey Richards sporting a new hairdo. Jesse and Zema Ion are waiting with no Robbie. MVP says it seems that Robbie E’s flight was cancelled somehow and he just got confirmation from the TNA Travel Department that it’s true. Jesse says they could have beaten The Wolves last week, this week, and they’ll just do it next week instead. Jesse is holding both title belts and MVP asks why that is since it seems a bit fishy. Jesse stumbles for a second but says it’s because he’s the captain of the team. Jesse tries to leave but MVP stops him and says he’s getting tired of Bro-Mans taking his kindness for weakness. MVP says he has a solution. MVP says Robbie has until bell time to get here and if he doesn’t then Zema will take his place and defend the belts with Jesse.
In the back Magnus says EY made a huge tactical error tonight after running the gauntlet.
Dixie Carter comes down to the ring and calls Bully out to the ring saying they have unfinished business. A “we don’t like you” chant starts until Bully comes out and then they chant for tables. Bully gets them to start chanting “we don’t like you” again and then says he will give her credit because he is shocked that she would actually be standing here face to face with him. Dixie says for a “smart New Yorker” he is pretty dumb to be conned into coming to her office so Bobby Roode could beat him down. Dixie reminds Bully that Roode put Bully through three tables last week.
Dixie says that was a first for Bully and he says that she is right, and even he can appreciate that he was suckered in and taken advantage of and he was put through tables last week. Bully says the point is that he is still standing, but Dixie says she will rectify that. Dixie asks why he double crossed her and she wants to know why he would do that. Bully says she is the most selfish woman and that TNA is not HER company, it is the fans company. He says that TNA is for every fan around the world and every wrestler in the locker room who breaks their back for the fans.
Dixie asks if he is suddenly everyone’s spokesperson and he is no better than her. Bully says whether the fans like him or hate him or whether the wrestlers like him or hate him everyone of them respect him. Dixie says they respect her too because she built this company but Bully says no one respects her. Dixie says she paid Bully a lot of money to do a job for her and she wants her money back. Bully says it was a lot of money but she should know she shouldn’t trust anybody. Bully says it was fun spending that money saying he spent a lot of it at a strip club. He asks if she knows who he is but she slaps the microphone away from him and asks if he knows who SHE is.
Dixie says she is still president of the company and she is still his boss. Dixie slaps Bully and says he better not ever talk to her that way again. Bully corners Dixie but Roode runs out and blindsides Bully! Dixie tells Roode to get a table! Roode pulls out a table and sets it up in the ring. Roode attempts to put Bully through the table but Bully fights him off and goes for a Powerbomb through the table! Roode blocks it and bails out of the ring.
Bully looks at the table and then looks at Dixie and then looks back at the table and begins to stare at Dixie. Bully goes into that old blank stare he used to do back in the day before and after putting a woman through a table as Dixie escapes through the ropes.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
Magnus approaches Dixie in the back and bitches about her not even saying anything to her tonight. She says she has business that doesn’t pertain to him. Magnus says that he is the World Champion so all business pertains to him and she didn’t even come wish him luck. Dixie says Magnus doesn’t need luck because he has a plan. Dixie says she has a plan too and her plan is to go to her plane and go home. Magnus calls her a “typical woman” and Dixie calls him ungrateful. She says that he has forgotten who brought him to the dance and she seems to recall him telling her nephew that he doesn’t need her anymore because he has an insurance policy. Dixie says good luck with that insurance policy tonight and walks away. Magnus says “wrath of Dixie” my ass as he walks away.

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
Christy Hemme calls Samuel Shaw out to the ring as a “creepy bastard” chant starts up. Shaw walks out and Christy says she has had a change of heart lately and she thinks Shaw is just misunderstood. He says that he is so happy that she has finally seen the light, and not to worry what the “ordinary cretins” have to say. He says he is not what they say and he is simply the love of her life. Christy asks if he trusts her and asks if he would do anything and go anywhere she asked him to go. She then uses her teeth to take off his glove. She tells him to clothes his eyes and “feel” her and to keep up closed as she talks to him. A van with “psychiatric services” written on the side is shown arriving. Mr. Anderson comes out from the back of the van and Christy says she’s going to take him where he belongs and says that he has a surprise for him. Anderson slides in the ring and Christy tells him to turn around where Anderson hits him with the Mic Check!
Anderson says that commitment she was talking about is the funny farm he’s about to be taken to as the fans chant “funny farm.” Anderson picks up Shaw’s prone body and waves to the crowd with his hand and then tosses him over the top rope as the fans sing “good bye” to him. Anderson drags Shaw to the van and tosses him into it. Shaw is able to shove the door into Anderson’s face and then run away.
