Hulk Hogan leads Immortal out to the ring as we see replays of how Mr. Anderson played Hogan last week. Hogan says it's obvious to him that there is nothing but top choice talent in the ring. Hogan says there still is a lingering stench of rotten there so he wants Mr. Anderson to get out to the ring.
Anderson walks down to the ring and Hogan welcomes him to the "big show" and then he says for the last 6 weeks he's given Anderson every opportunity to do the right thing, and he has repeatedly told Anderson he could do things the right or wrong way. He says time and time again Anderson spits in his face so he will have to make an example out of Anderson. Anderson says he used to respect Hogan but now he's just disappointed and calls everyone in the ring in Immortal sheep. Anderson says Bischoff made his entire fortune riding Hogan's coat tails. Anderson says he will not step in line, BROTHER! He says he has to look himself in the mirror at the end of the day and when he does he says "Mr. Anderson...Anderson, and he's okay with that. Anderson says everyone else in Immortal has to live with the fact that they're up Hogan's backside. Hogan slaps Anderson and the rest of Immortal jumps him! They beat Anderson down and then hold him up as Hogan tells him he disrespected Immortal for the last time and when they get done with him tonight he won't even make it to Lockdown. Hogan says Anderson is responsible for this beating and he brought it all on himself so whatever happens to him he did it to himself. Hogan says before tonight is over they will cross paths again and he'll take Anderson out on his time, not Anderson's. Bully Ray steps up to Anderson and Anderson spits in his face so Ray punches him in the mouth.

Winter tells Velvet to live with it and then Velvet tells Winter to tell Angelina that she is going to call Angelina out tonight and if she refuses to come down then she'll drag Angelina out and give her the receipt she has coming.

He says tonight they want a Best of 3 Series between Fortune and Immortal with the winning team getting the man advantage at Lockdown! Hogan says Bischoff was supposed to take care of the network and there has to be someone that is smartening Spike up behind the scenes. Bischoff says he's on it and leaves while Ray says they'll just beat Fortune.

Hogan reminds RVD that it was him that brought RVD to TNA and he wanted him to be part of the team. Hogan says people have been taking advantage of RVD all of his career with his laid back attitude, but recently he's seen a new attitude and fire from RVD. He says RVD would fit perfectly in Immortal and that last week when Anderson took out Sting, RVD took advantage of the situation and beat Sting.
Hogan says he liked that but before RVD can say anything Sting's music hits and the World Champ makes his way out to the ring. Sting says what Hogan just said was a lie because RVD never saw Anderson lay him out and the RVD he knows would never take a win like that. Sting says the last place RVD should want to be is on the side with Hogan. He says it is an awesome honor and privilege to be the TNA World Champion, but he won't take his eyes off the issue which is getting rid of Hogan and Bischoff. Sting says at the end of the day RVD will have to make his own choice and if RVD is the better man then he will take the Title at Lockdown, but if RVD isn't the better man and he decides to get in bed with Immortal then he will have to kill Sting to take the belt. RVD looks like he's about to say something but instead leaves the ring without saying anything leaving us guessing what he's going to do.
