We see a video package of Grado becoming a member of Park, Park and Park only to find out he has been cheated.
Grado shows up, and immediately calls out Joseph Park. Park shows up. Grado tells Park he will stand trial in the court of public opinion, and he will be judge, the crowd will be jury, and he will be executioner. Grado tells Park he stole his money, took advantage of his good nature, and embarrassed him in front of everyone. He had him work all over the world for little money and treated him like dung. Park tries to joke his way out. It doesn't work. Park admits that he could not resist the temptation, but tells him if it weren't for him, he would not be here. Park reveals that he owns his visa, and Grado says if he were any kind of man, he would hand the visa back. Park teases Grado with the visa, and says he has a better idea: a match for Bound For Glory. If Grado beats him, he gets to stay. If Grado loses, he's gone forever. Grado accepts the challenge and signs without hesitation. Grado also signs without hesitation, and tells Park he will kick his ass before he and the fans go for the American Dream. Park stops him. Grado did not read the fine print, and he learns that the match at Bound For Glory is a Monster's Ball Match, and it is going to be Abyss.
We see a video package of what has been going on between Lashley and Moose as of late.

oVe (Jake and Dave Crist) retain the GFW World Tag Team Championships against Black Diamond and Black Danger at The Crash in Tijuana, Mexico.
Jeremy Borash is in the ring. He is announcing Bound For Glory when America's Top Team shows up, takes the microphone away and shoves Jeremy Borash out of the ring. Dan Lambert says that they came down here as a favor to Jeff Jarrett, and that he has sat back for years and waste his MMA potential while working for Impact. He did this out of respect for professional wrestling, but he finds it ironic as he is the biggest professional wrestling fan in the building and has been so for 40 years. He was introduced to MMA by Japanese professional wrestling promotions Pancrase and UWF. He also finds it ironic that professional wrestling is why he is running America's Top Team, and that he is being looked at as the "anti pro-wrestling guy" and the bad guy when he has more knowledge of pro wrestling than anyone else in the entire arena. He claims to have the best and largest collection of professional wrestling memorabilia, and even though none of the fans in the crowd deserves to look at it, he is willing to make an exception. He also claims to have in his possession Bruno Sammartino's WWWF Championship belt, which he pulls out of his bag. He also pulls out a NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling Tag Team Championship belt that was held by Road Warrior Hawk of The Road Warriors (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk). He then pulls out one-half of the Jim Crockett Promotions Tag Team Championships, which was the first title ever held by "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, and verbally rips a fan as he says that his partner was Rip Hawk. He then mentions Jeff Jarrett and how Jarrett's family has been in the wrestling business for five decades, and how one of those decades featured Jerry "The King" Lawler defeating Curt Hennig for the American Wrestling Association World Heavyweight Championship. He then pulls it out of his bag as well. He then says that the saddest irony out of this is that he now controls the biggest team in MMA in the world today, and yet professional wrestling came into their home and disrespected everything everything they know, every fighter they have trained, and every title they have won. Now, he is here to say they not only poked the bear, they shoved a red hot poker up the bear's ass. Now the bear is angry and is coming to the Impact Zone in the form of Bobby Lashley and King Mo, who will do everything in their power to take back the respect Moose and "The American Psycho" Stephan Bonnar ripped from them last week. He will ask them - again, ironically - to destroy wrestling, which he loves - and expose it as a bunch of wanna-be tough guys who have no idea what it is like to be in a real fight and bottom-feed in the world of the combat sports arena. He then challenges Bonnar and Mosoe to a match at Bound For Glory to a fight - not a wrestling match, but a fight - against Lashley and King Mo that he claims professional wrestling cannot win and will spell the end for Impact Wrestling. Moose and Stephan Bonner show up with some of the titles they stole last week, but they are attacked from behind by Lashley, and the rest of America's Top Team follows. Lambert mocks the fans as Moose and Bonnar both get Speared by Lashley. America's Top Team then hold referees and security at bay, and members of the Impact locker room run into the ring but fare no better.
At Tijuana, Mexico, oVe (Dave and Jake Crist) meet up with Konnan. After they demand their pay, The Crash's locker room surrounds the ring. oVe puts up a fight, but it is not long before the numbers game catches up. Konan tells them he will see them at Bound For Glory.
We see a teaser for Episode 5 of "Global Forged."

Taya crawls out of the ring and to the back.
