Sting's music hits and the NEW TNA World Heavyweight Champion makes his way down to the ring. Sting holds up the belt and says he's on top of the world again. Sting says the Stinger's back on track again and he has something Hogan & Bischoff wants. Sting says game on in regards to Immortal and he says this is the part of the promo where he's supposed to talk about how they can do things the easy way or the hard way, but there's no sense in going that route since we all know they'll do things HIS way. Sting says eventually Hogan will come to his senses. Sting says he's insane and there's something exhilarating about being insane. Sting says he would like to start tonight's business by conducting an interview with Hogan and Bischoff but Kurt Angle comes out instead in the clown mask.
He takes the mask off and then walks down to the ring. Angle says he means no disrespect to Sting because he IS the World Champion, but he heard a lot of I's in that speech he just gave. Angle says it was ANGLE that came to Sting's aid when Ray & Anderson was beating him down. Angle says he did it because it was the right thing to do and he's all about doing the right thing, but they have a dilemma right now. Angle says while Sting is trying to save this company for Dixie Carter he's run into a speed bump and that speed bump is Kurt Angle. Angle says he's the #1 contender and at Hardcore Justice their paths will cross once again. Sting says he respects Kurt too but he's doing what he has to do. Angle says if Sting wants to play those games then he can do that. Angle says he takes pride in being the best and he says he and Sting are legends in wrestling. Angle says only one can walk out at Hardcore Justice the better man and it HAS to be Angle because he's given himself no other choice. Sting says then it is a fact they have themselves a dilemma. Immortal's music interrupts them and Bully Ray & Mr. Anderson walk onto the stage.
Ray says they a hive a big dilemma on their hands because in the next 2 hours Angle & Sting will have to learn how to work with each other because tonight it's Sting & Anderson vs Bully Ray & Mr. Anderson! Ray asks Kurt if he thinks he likes it when Kurt hits him with a bat and then says he worked real hard on those abs. He says tonight he'll hit Angle with the kitchen sink straight out of New York City. Anderson calls Sting goofy and says Sting didn't beat him because if it wasn't for his buddy they wouldn't even be having this discussion. Anderson says if Sting thinks for one second that he clawed and scratched and fought his way to the top for things to go down the way they did then he's sadly mistaken. Anderson says that before Sting and Angle have to worry about Hogan or Bischoff or about giving Dixie her company about, he needs to deal with Anderson and he needs to deal with him TONIGHT.

TNA Knockouts Champion Mickie James makes her way down to the ring. Tonight Mickie will defend her title against Velvet Sky. Mickie asks Velvet to come down to the ring because she has something to say to her. Mickie says for the past few months she's sat back and watched Velvet and she's watched people take their frustrations and insecurities out on Velvet time and time again. Mickie says she's watched people blame Velvet for their own downfalls and that's not right. She says she knows how that feels and it's not good so that's why she's not only honored but privileged to give Velvet her first Knockouts Title Match tonight. They hug and Velvet thanks her. Mickie says it's not because Velvet kissed anyone's butt but it's because she's earned it and deserved it. Mickie says tonight they'll tear the roof off the Impact Zone and they'll show everyone watching around the world why they have the best women's division in the world. She says when she walks down the ramp tonight she walks down as Knockouts Champion and when she walks out she plans walking back up champion and the two shake hands.
Winter's music hits and she and Angelina Love walk out. Angelina says isn't this special and she tells them not to forget why they all came to TNA in the first place, and that's because they wanted to compete against each other. She says judging by what she sees in the ring, they should just hold hands rather than wrestle. Angelina says she realizes it took her awhile to understand what Winter was trying to tell her and show her, but now she gets it. Angelina reminds them that she's a 5-time Knockouts Champion and she says she realizes there is one similar personality trait between all the Knockouts in the locker room and that is total disrespect for her. Angelina says she has proven herself as the best but she has never been given her dues, and Winter has helped her realize that it is all due to jealousy. Angelina says none of the Knockouts want to compete against her because she's on a level all on her own. Angelina says they can continue to put each other over but it doesn't matter who wins tonight, because that title is coming straight back to her.
Winter says she and Angelina work as a team, a real team, and that bond is forever. She says it doesn't matter if she has to beat Velvet or Little Miss Hardcore Nothing Mickie the Mouse because at Hardcore Justice when she takes the Knockouts Title it will belong to both of them, and no one else will ever take the belt from them again. Winter tells them to enjoy their beautiful moment because night is about to fall.
