After the opening match, Mathews and Rayne run through tonight's card. Once they summarize all the matches for tonight, we head back to Wrestle House to see what's been going on since last Tuesday!

At Wrestle House, Taya Valkyrie arranged a group bonding event. It looks like it'll be a toga party. The Deaners are both in togas. Johnny Swinger has a leopard print one on. Swinger tells Crazzy Steve he needs to find a new style because his toga looks like something he put together at last second.

Back from the break, everyone has gathered together in the living room for their toga party. They are all having drinks and dancing. Kylie Rae comes into the room and greets everyone. Valkyrie starts talking to her, but she throws up midway. The Deaners corner Acey Romero on if he took their beer. Romero said they asked that question last week; he never took their beer. They all call for a truce. Larry D barges into Steve and Swingers' conversation. Larry D ducks down and Swinger accidentally throws powder in Steve's face.

Young believes that Edwards' approach is "pathetic." Young says that he and Edwards are two different levels; one plays chess (Young), while the other (Edwards) is too busy playing checkers. He doesn't want the match right now, he wants it next week. Edwards accepts that, but he says Young will not go away without an ass-whooping. Both men brawl outside the ring. Several referees and Scott D'Amore run down the ramp to separate the two.

She politely declines and ends her segment.

The "ICU" leader, Sami Callihan, has a chilling message to RVD. He forewarns RVD and Forbes that he'll be back at the Impact Zone next week to, "Beat RVD's ass."

Back from the break, we see EC3 sitting and reflecting on his accolades, which includes winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, twice. He says that he gave everything he had just to earn some sort of respect. All that he got in return was pain, hurt and regret. He says that he's not afraid to put himself on the line again. He wants to go back to being the man that he used to be: happy, proud and free. In order to do that, he needs to destroy the TNA Championship. Once he wins that title back, he can destroy it, and finally set himself free.
