We hear from Sonjay Dutt and Trevor Lee before their match at Destination X next week.

We hear from Jeff Jarrett concerning America's Top Team.

Dutch Mantell interviews Matt Sydal and Lashley for "Down and Dirty with Dutch." Lashley says he did not disrespect anybody, he merely reacted. He considers himself a "top 3 wrestler." Sydal says he has never put himself in one particular category, and does not rate himself as an X Division wrestler. Sydal says that just like Lashley, his resume speaks for himself, as he has faced giants. He rates himself within the top 3. Lashley and Sydal argue. Lashley says he will beat Sydal within an inch of life. Sydal says he comes in peace, but also to win.

He says it is time to step into the spotlight he deserves, and after that, he is going for the X Division title.

We get a closer look at Drago, who claims to come from another world and whose objective is to destroy his opponent so he can show everyone what Drago is all about. He says Sammy Guevara is a man he wants to get in the ring with, but says Guevara lacks capability and experience. He wants to win the tournament and bring the Super X Cup back to AAA, and he wants everyone to believe in Drago.

Matt Sydal tells the fans to "trust yourself and question authority." He then asks Bruce Prichard to come to the ring. Prichard shows up with Tyrus and tells Sydal he likes him, but he is sick and tired of people making demands. Prichard says Sydal is deserving of a title match, but so are others in the back. Suddenly, Lashley shows up. Lashley says there is only one person deserving of a World title shot: himself. He has tackled everyone that Prichard has thrown at him, and tells him to give him a title shot. If one more person gets an opportunity, he will take matters into his own. Lashley hits Sydal with a Spear, and says that's only a start. He tells Prichard to make the World title shot happen.

The Latin-American Xchange head to the ring with Dos Caras and El Hijo del Dos Caras as hostages. Konnan says he knows Alberto El Patron is in the building and that they are recording his documentary here, and says that El Patron underestimated how demented he can be. He says he will handle this Mexican street style, saying that if El Patron wants to put his hands on his family, then he will put his hands on El Patron's. Dos Caras and El Hijo del Dos Caras are attacked with kendo sticks, and El Hijo del Dos Caras is almost unmasked when El Patron shows up. He tells Konnan to leave his family alone, and not to involve them in this. El Patron tells Konnan that if he lays a hand on his father, he will hurt him. Konnan tells El Patron that if he joins, he will let them go. After some words between El Patron and Konnan (whom El Patron calls "Carlos"), LAX let El Patron's brother and father go. El Patron then tells Konnan that they are no longer friends, and that Konnan is no longer the man he once knew and that he is just Konnan and not Carlos. Konnan tells El Patron to put on the LAX shirt, and says he is a man of his word and will let his family goes.

"The Cowboy" James Storm beats Ethan Carter III by disqualification after EC3 tries to use Storm's leather belt as a weapon only for referee Brian Stifler to take it away from him, resulting in EC3 beating him up and whipping him in the back with it. During the match, as James Storm tries to use his leather strap again (but cannot), Magnus stands up from commentary and gets ejected by referees and Bruce Prichard as a result.

Everett shows up, and while he respects him, Trevor Lee and the X Division title are his and his only. Gregory Shane Helms and Trevor Lee show up, saying Dutt and Everett are ones to dictate policy as he tells them they have to go through him for a title shot against Trevor Lee. Helms tells Dutt he sucks if he's never won a title on Impact, and tells Karen he runs the X Division. Bruce Prichard shows up, tells Helms he doesn't run a thing, and says Sonjay Dutt has good ideas. Not only will the X Division title match be the main event, but Sonjay Dutt will be in it along with three other men to make it a six-way dance.

Both men then try to pick up the X Division title at the same time, starting a staredown between the two.
