Todd Keneley, Mike Tenay and Tazz are our commentators tonight. Newly crowned number one contender James Storm is out to kick off the show. Storm says the last year has been a “long, hard road” but he did it. He hasn’t won any award but he’s here to say thank you to some people. The fans have always been there for him in the Impact Zone and at home. Number two, Storm’s family and three, the people who said Storm could not do it. Storm says the detractors are the fuel that kept him going.

The celebration doesn’t last for too long as Bobby Roode is out with two bottles of beer. Roode says he’s not here to spoil the party, he’s here to join it. He offers Storm a beer, Storm takes it and he has a toast of his own. He toasts Storm for pinning AJ Styles. He sarcastically gives more props to Storm and Storm’s fans because they will watch him fail again at becoming World Champion. Roode brings up Storm’s daughter and family. They are going to have to pick up the pieces when Storm loses, takes his ball and goes home again. Roode knocks Storm’s beer out and takes a swig from his bottle. He’s punches by Storm.

Hogan calls Styles a main event player but hasn’t moved up from where he was a few years ago. “He’s his own worst enemy,” Hogan says as we head for the show’s first advertisement break.

- Todd Keneley says “you hate to see this,” as we’re welcomed back with replays of the Aces and Eights beatdown of Sting last week. Tons of hammer shots.

We’re set back to the Aces and Eights clubhouse. A masked man asks the Director of Chaos (Gallows) if he thinks he’s done enough to stay in the club despite revealing his identiy. The masked man says they’ll vote tonight but for right now, they need Doc’s coat. Devon says the have business to take care of and he grabs a dart. He throws it at a wall of photos and it lands off-screen. Devon says “that prick deserves it” as the A&8s laugh.
