Ethan Carter III looks at himself in the bathroom mirror. Tyrus shows up and simply tells him "It's time."

Ethan Carter III and Tyrus show up. EC3 says this is a time of vindication for him. He says that Tyrus has never doubted him, and thanks him for having his back after all this time. Before he can return to the topic at hand, however, Jeff Hardy shows up. Jeff says he's here to give him something he deserves: credit where it's due for beating Matt Hardy clean. He then hands EC3 a letter from his doctor. It's a doctor's note stating that he is clear for action, and Jeff wants his first match against Ethan Carter III. EC3 denies Jeff a title shot, saying he has to earn it. He then brings out an opponent after speaking to Bob Ryder through the camera: The Master of Motion, Shynron. Shynron plans to beat Jeff Hardy tonight. EC3 brings out a referee to make the match official, then guests on commentary for the match along with Tyrus.

Jeff Hardy beats Shynron.

Jeremy Borash interviews The Beautiful People (Jade, Rebel, Marti Bell, Awesome Kong). Marti Bell says that the Knockouts Division needed a shake-up, and that Awesome Kong has provided that shake-up. Kong says that this is her house, and that Gail Kim has something she wants. Suddenly, The Beautiful People (Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne) show up and tell The Dollhouse that they should be worrying about them tonight, and that they don't have to jump people from behind to make a point. They then land the first blows in a backstage brawl.

When we come back from break, we find out that the backstage brawl between The Beautiful People (Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne) and The Dollhouse (Jade, Marti Bell, Rebel, Awesome Kong) has spilled over to the ring, and has officially become the start of the match.

Beer Money (Bobby Roode and "The Cowboy" James Storm) show up for their beer bash in celebration of reuniting after almost five years. Storm is glad he came back to TNA and reformed one of the best tag teams in TNA history. Roode reveals that the reason they broke up and got back together is their drive and passion to be the best, and that he was wrong for turning on Storm like he did. They apologize for a few more things (including Roode puking in Storm's cowboy hat) as they give a toast to each other and the fans. As they get rowdy and loud, Eric Young and Bram show up to spoil the fun, and after Eric Young brags about taking the World title from him and admitting he doesn't like Bram but does like the way he operates, he says that Roode has something that belongs to him: the TNA King of the Mountain Championship. Roode tells EY he'll beat him like a little bitch, and puts the title on the line...right here, right now.

Eric Young takes advantage of some commotion near the end of the match to beat Bobby Roode and win the TNA King of the Mountain Championship!

Maria Kanellis and Michael Bennett meet up with Ethan Carter III and Tyrus backstage. Michael Bennett has kind words for EC3, but EC3 doesn't think as kindly of Bennett.

It's time for Mr. Anderson's new segment: "Huh?" The first guest ever on this segment is Matt Hardy, who is accompanied by Reby Sky and their son Maxell. Matt Hardy says the only reason he didn't beat Ethan Carter III for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship is because of Eric Young's piledriver. Anderson thinks he's making excuses, but Matt Hardy says he's being accountable and refuses to give up on winning the title again. Matt Hardy also says that he has EC3's number, and that Jeff Hardy won't be "doing his dirty work." He, Reby and Maxell leave after the interview becomes uncomfortable.

Christy Hemme interviews Drew Galloway, who says that a match with Kurt Angle has always been a childhood dream of his. He says he has to beat Angle tonight in order to prove he can be number one in TNA.

Jeff Hardy talks to his brother Matt Hardy, telling him to get the World title while he can. Matt says he has an offer Ethan Carter III cannot refuse. Reby Sky cuts the conversation short.

Ethan Carter III shows up, saying that Matt Hardy has an offer and he wants to know what it is. Matt shows up, and gives EC3 the opportunity to control his fate much like he did with Jeff. Matt says that if he can't beat Ethan Carter III for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, he will leave TNA forever. EC3 ups the ante by making it a Last Man Standing match. They shake on the match.
