Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for October 3, 2013

AJ Styles shows up. He plans to beat Bully Ray at Bound For Glory. Bully shows up. He says Dixie Carter is in AJ's head, but AJ simply laughs off his statements as Bully makes it clear he plans to destroy him at that point in time. AJ tells Bully he's no better than Dixie, and Bully takes it as a compliment before insulting him. AJ then announces Bully Ray has a match as per Hulk Hogan...and that Samoa Joe's gonna kill him.

AJ Styles confronts Dixie Carter...who sics security on him, forcing him to leave.

Austin Aries guests on commentary for the next match.

Jeff Hardy and Manik beat Kenny King and Chris Sabin. Sabin attacks Hardy and Manik after the match, but Austin Aries chases him out of the ring before challenging him to a four-way match for the X-Division title that also involves Hardy and Manik. Jeff Hardy grabs the mic and wants it to be something he's never done before: an Ultimate X match!

Sting and Hulk Hogan talk about Dixie Carter's power trip. Whatever Hulk's decision is, Sting has his back. Dixie's assistant gives him some chocolate...the same chocolate Dixie gave to Sting last year. Hulk knows what he has to do.

Last Thursday, Sting meets with Magnus, who is about to go to Hogan to make a gauntlet match against EGO (Bobby Roode, Christopher Daniels, Kazarian).

Bobby Roode beats Magnus by submission to win the gauntlet challenge for EGO (Roode, Kazarian, Christopher Daniels). Magnus snaps, and Sting shows up to talk Magnus down. Magnus feels he doesn't measure up after what's happened in recent months, and wants that one big match. Sting gives him that one big match at Bound For Glory...and it's against the Stinger himself!

Austin Aries talks to Hulk Hogan, and thanks him for all that he's done.

Chris Sabin prepares for his Ultimate X match next week.

Lei'D Tapa shows up before Brooke (Tessmacher) vs. Velvet Sky can begin, and lays waste to Velvet Sky.

We meet Ethan. Guess what? He's some rich prick with a Maserati.

We see interviews about why "The Cowboy" James Storm and Gunnar teamed up to win the tag titles.

Samoa Joe beats Bully Ray by disqualification when the ref catches Bully Ray hitting Samoa Joe with the chain. The ref is knocked out and Bully goes after Joe. He almost piledrives Joe into the concrete, but AJ Styles - who was forced out the arena at the start of the show - comes back and goes after Bully Ray before running away from arena security and into the crowd.

EGO (Kazarian, Christopher Daniels and Bobby Roode) celebrate their gauntlet challenge victory. Bobby Roode will also be inducted into the Extraordinary Gentlemen's Organization Hall of Fame next week.

Dixie Carter shows up and mocks the fans, then calls out Hulk Hogan. Hulk Hogan quits, and Dixie Hogan tries to keep him from leaving to no avail. She ends up having a temper tantrum and firing him even though he's already quit.

Don't forget: Kurt Angle will be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame at Bound For Glory on October 20th!
