He plans on returning back to the aggressiveness that got him to it last year. Aries hopes to beat Roode again.

Austin Aries barely beats AJ Styles to earn seven points in the Bound For Glory Series.

The Main Event Mafia show sup. They call out Aces and Eights for "an offer they can't refuse." They show up, but Mr. Anderson doesn't seem to take any of this seriously. The Mafia challenges them to a five-on-five match, and whoever gets pinned has to leave TNA for good! It then gets physical, and Mr. Anderson accepts the challenge for the lights to go dark. When they come back on, #August1Warning is finally revealed...it's none other than MMA fighter Tito Ortiz!

Hulk Hogan comes out. The ten qualifying participants of the Bound For Glory Series are in the ring. Hogan brings out the last two BFG Series winners, who get a bye into the tournament: Jeff Hardy and Bobby Roode. As part of the BFG Series kick-off on Open Fight Night, the winner of last week's poll gets to make a call-out. That winner is Hardy. Before Hardy can make a choice, Austin Aries and Christopher Daniels tell Hardy not to call them out. Hardy goes by the predictable choice: Bobby Roode, who made it personal last week. Roode pushes Hardy, then Hardy pushes back, starting a huge brawl between all twelve men.

Mr. Anderson comes out and calls Joseph Park out.

Brooke Hogan comes to the ring for the State of the Knockouts address. All the Knockouts come out, and Mickie James has her own individual entrance where she takes potshots at Velvet Sky. Eric Young and ODB relinquish the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championships, then kiss and run off. Velvet Sky gets her rematch...as does Gail Kim, who gets a Ladder Match against Taryn Terrell.

Hulk Hogan asks Brooke Hogan to leave the arena, so further unwanted drama does not happen.

AJ Styles gets on the mic and says that he's in the Bound For Glory Series for the World title only, and that TNA is no place for heroes. He's tired of doing the right thing...and instead, he's doing his own thing.

AJ Styles and Samoa Joe fight to a time limit draw, and both earn two points each. The ref has to separate both men when AJ gets another shot in afterward.

Sting cares about family (unlike Bully Ray), then takes off his suit and button-down shirt as Bully Ray threatens to call out Aces and Eights to sic them on him.

The first member of the new Main Event Mafia shows up...and it's Kurt Angle, who puts Bully in an Ankle Lock Submission as Sting tells Bully "I told you so."

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for May 16, 2013

The show starts with Hulk Hogan. He tells AJ Styles to join Aces and Eights, because "Who cares?" Kurt Angle will take on AJ at Slammiversary. Also, the contract signing for Bully Ray and Sting's World title match will also take place tonight. He then calls Abyss out to thank him for last week, but Joseph Park comes out instead and is amazed his brother Chris (y'know, Abyss) showed up while he was recuperating at home. Hulk asks Joseph where Abyss is when Devon and D'Lo Brown show up. They want Abyss as they believe Abyss helped Sting and Kurt Angle cheat. A pissed Park challenges Devon to a match, but Devon wants Park to prove himself. D'Lo wants Park. Hogan makes it so, and if Park wins he can challenge Devon anytime he wants.

James Storm has plans for Bobby Roode, Austin Aries and Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels and Kazarian)...

Bobby Roode beats Chavo Guerrero by disqualification after "The Cowboy" James Storm spits beer in Roode's face. Roode slowly backs out of the ring as "The Cowboy" eyes him.

Kurt Angle enters the ring. For a year, nobody seems to be trustworthy due to Aces and Eights. He's happy to take on AJ Styles at Slammiversary, but he calls out AJ so he can beat him up now. Mr. Anderson of Aces and Eights shows up and tells him - and everyone - that AJ Styles will be "patched in" next week, meaning that Styles is joining Aces and Eights.

Keny King retains the TNA X Division Championship against Petey Williams and Chris Sabin.

Christopher Daniels and Kazarian weigh their options after knowing what James Storm did earlier tonight.

D'Lo Brown tells Mr. Anderson he knows he messed up two weeks ago. Can D'Lo get back on the ball.

Hernandez beats Christopher Daniels after James Storm distracts Daniels. He then makes an announcement as per Hulk Hogan: at Slammiversary, it will be Bad Influence (Daniels and Kazarian), the team of Bobby Roode and Austin Aries, the team of Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez...and Storm and a partner of his choice for the tag team titles! It's a four-team tag team match for the tag titles at Slammiversary!

Joseph Park beats D'Lo Brown when D'Lo Brown bloodies Park up, making him angry...causing D'Lo to eat a Black Hole Slam!

The contract signing between Sting and Bully Ray for their match at Slammiversary occurs. Bully Ray calls out Sting, then calls out Hulk Hogan. Sting tells Bully Ray to make him bleed before he does the same to Bully Ray, and asks for a no-holds-barred match. Bully accepts, but only if he signs the contract, which states that if Sting loses, he can never compete for the World title again. Hulk Hogan tells him not to do it, but Sting accepts. Sting and Bully then beat each other up.
