NWA: Total Nonstop Action opened with highlights of recent action, followed by Jeff Jarrett talking on a cell phone in the back. Jarrett said Hogan was out of the picture, and that Dusty Rhodes and Jimmy Hart were not in the building tonight - as well as something regarding "huge news" he was selt to unveil in the coming weeks!

Kid Kash vs. Christopher Daniels vs. Low Ki was first, with the winner earning a shot at Michael Shane's X gold next week! They went right at it before the bell, with Low Ki going after Kash and Daniels, hitting a double clothesline on both men. Later in the match, Daniels went for a moonsault, but Low Ki moved. Daniels and Low Ki teamed up for a elevated high kick on Kash, then Daniels catapulted Kash to the floor. Daniels turned a handspring elbow into a powerbomb for two. Daniels later went for the Angel's Wings, but Low Ki floated over and hit his finisher the Ki Krusher for the pin. Winner: Low Ki, who faces Michael Shane next week for the X gold!

After the match, Kash pulled out his "I Fear No Man" sign, and left the ring. Don Harris came out, and chased Kash into the back.

Scott Hudson interviewed AJ Styles. Styles said that Jeff Jarrett's claims that he "couldn't compete" on Jarrett's level were ridiculous, and that he would win the title tonight.

3 Live Kru's tag title win from last week was recapped. Konnan, Ron Killings and BG James then made their way to the ring. James said that having the tag titles means more money for them, and means a merrier Christmas for their kids. America's Most Wanted came down to the ring. AMW took the credit for 3 Live Kru's title win, and said they wanted a title shot. Before 3 Live Kru could answer, Jeff Jarrett and Don Callis interrupted. Jarrett said that everyone needs to decide whether they are with him or against him. Chris Harris said Jarrett was a disgrace to the NWA. Harris said that he and Storm were against him. Jarrett then tried to recruit 3 Live Kru, bringing up his past with BG James. Glen Gilberti, David Young, Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger interrupted. Gilberti said that he and Young were behind him, and so were Simon & Swinger. Simon interrupted Gilberti, telling him not to talk for them. Simon & Swinger told Gilberti he was responsible for them losing the tag titles. Jarrett got back on the mic, and said they had a decision to make tonight. Erik Watts, with Goldylocks, showed up in the crowd. Watts made a three way tag match with AMW vs. Gilberti & Young vs. Simon & Swinger to determine the number one contenders. Erik Watts said Double J was now Triple J, since he was Jeff Jackass Jarrett. Styles then ran out and attacked Jarrett, and the two had to be separated.

Scott Hudson interviewed Sonjay Dutt and Chris Sabin. Dutt promised to continue his rise to the top, and Sabin said he was refocused on the X-Division title. Sabin said that perhaps it was time for Ultimate X2!

Shane Douglas & Michael Shane, with Tracy, vs. Sonjay Dutt & Chris Sabin was next. In the end, Dutt hit a top rope elbow on Douglas, but Tracy put his foot on the ropes. Michael accidentally forearmed Douglas from the ring. Sabin hit a slingshot corkscrew press on Douglas on the floor. In the ring, Tracy hit Dutt with a Pie In the Sky, and Michael hit a superkick on Dutt for the pin at the eight minute mark. Winners: The New Franchise! Post match, Sabin double DDT'd Douglas & Shane, then powerbombed Dutt onto both men!

Scott Hudson interviewed Glen Gilberti, David Young, Johnny Swinger and Simon Diamond. Diamond said Gilberti should not be talking for them, and not telling Jeff Jarrett they were on his side. Swinger told Gilberti everything went downhill when he brought Young on board. Gilberti tried to diffuse the situation.

X vs. Don Harris was next. X attacked Harris at the bell, hitting an avalanche in the corner, but then running into an elbow. X hit a back kick, but the match spilled to the floor, where Harris tossed him into a rail and hit him with a chair. Back in the ring, X hit Harris with a sideslam, then delivered a top rope legdrop, then a cannonball, but Harris kicked out. Harris backdropped out of a piledriver attempt. Harris hit a backdrop and a series of clotheslines, then a big boot to the face. Harris was setting for a chokeslam, but Kid Kash ran out and distracted him. Kash tossed a chain to X, and X knocked out Harris with it for the pin at the four minute mark. Winner: X.

We saw that in the locker room, Christopher Daniels was beating Low Ki down with a chair. Daniels screamed at Low Ki, wishing him luck against Michael Shane next week, if he makes the match. Daniels continued to pound on Low Ki, and was pulled off by security.

America's Most Wanted vs. Simon Diamond & Johnny Swinger vs. Glen Gilberti & David Young was next. Later in the bout Young tripped Harris into a double legsweep by Diamond & Swinger for a two count. Young gave Harris a spinebuster, after shoving Diamond out of the way, and Swinger and Young got into a brawl on the floor. In the ring, Storm hit a superkick on Diamond and got the pin at the nine minute mark. Winners: America's Most Wanted, who face 3Live Kro for the gold next week!

Scott Hudson interviewed Raven and The Gathering. Raven said he enjoys destroying all the people that Jarrett puts in his way. Raven stressed that his reuniting with CM Punk & Julio Dinero was for "one night only" but Punk said they would change his mind after tonight.

Raven, CM Punk & Julio Dinero vs. Abyss, Kevin Northcutt & Legend, with Don Callis was next. Dinero and Punk started off, working over Northcutt, as well as taking down Legend whenever he ran in. When Abyss finally came in, Raven took him down with a superkick. The match was chaos, with Dinero bodyblocking the Red Shirts to the floor. Raven DDT'd Abyss, but the referee was watching the fight on the floor. Don Callis came in with a chair, but Raven ran him off. Raven picked up the chair, and Abyss speared it into Raven and got the pin at the six minute mark. Winners: Abyss, Kevin Northcutt & Legend.

Post-match, Punk and Dinero fought off Abyss, then the Red Shirts, but Abyss ran back in and chokeslammed Punk and Dinero at the same time. Abyss and the Red Shirts then proceeded to lay a beating on Raven until Punk and Dinero came back in with chairs for the save.

A taped Roddy Piper promo aired, with Piper announcing that he would be returning to TNA next week, and that he would have backup with him!

NWA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett, with Don Callis, vs. AJ Styles, with Erik Watts, was finally here! Jarrett stalled outside the ring early, while Mike Tenay said that Hulk Hogan's knee had not healed yet, and that he was unable to commit to any matches at this time. Styles and Jarrett traded holds, with Styles getting the better of the headlock and armbar exchanges. Styles hit a swinging DDT out of a hiptoss reversal for a two count. Styles missed a dropkick, and Jarrett strutted, but Styles kipped up and tossed Jarrett to the floor. Late in the bout, Jarrett went for a figure four, but Styles turned it into a small package, but with no referee to count as he was out of action! Jarrett crotched Styles on the top rope, and went for a superplex, but Styles fought him off. Jimmy Hart ran in, and pulled off his T-shirt, and revealed a referee's shirt. Styles went for a springboard, but Jarrett put his knees up, so Styles stopped himself. Styles hit a superkick, then delivered a springboard senton. Hart started counting, but Kid Kash pulled Hart from the ring and slugged him! Kash got in the ring with a guitar, but Styles kicked him in the gut. Styles gave Kash a Styles Clash, but Jarrett hit Styles with the guitar and got the pin at the nineteen minute mark. Winner and still NWA World Champion: Jeff Jarrett.

Kid Kash and Jeff Jarrett celebrated their tactics as the K-I-D is no part of Jarrett's crew!
