11-12 WWE RAW
WWE World Women's Champion Beth Phoenix def Maria. After the match, Santino Marella came out and, after quickly checking on Maria, grabbed the microphone and demanded an apology from Steve Austin for stunning him last week. Marella called Austin out, but Austin wasn't there. Marella said that since he couldn't get Austin, he'd go to the next best thing, Jim Ross. Marella said he knows his English isn't so good since he's from Italy, but J. R.'s is even worse since he's from Oklahoma. He ordered J. R. to stand up and apologise, but Jerry Lawler stood up. Marella invited Lawler into the ring and said he'd give Lawler the 1st punch. Lawler punched Marella hard and Marella retreated up the ramp.

11-15 TNA iMPACT
Jim Cornette was shown talking to Don West and Mike Tenay about the arrival of Booker T and Sharmel into TNA. He said they made their PPV debuts without signing a TNA contract. Cornette put a gag order on TNA individuals preventing them from mentioning Booker or Sharmel by name. Cornette said he hoped to have a contract signing with them before the end of the show.
TNA World Tag Team Champions A. J. Styles & Tomko joined TNA World Champion Kurt Angle in the ring along with Karen Angle. Kurt thanked Karen for getting A. J. & Tomko on his side and welcomed them to the newly formed Angle Alliance. He said they're now family to him. Kevin Nash came out and said he had Sting beaten until Karen hit him with the TNA World title belt. Kurt told Nash to bring it on. Nash stepped in the ring, but got triple teamed by the champions until the locker room emptied to come to his aid.
Jim Cornette and Matt Morgan were in Cornette's office. Cornette said Morgan had no idea how much trouble he's caused. Cornette gave no authourity for Morgan to make matches while he was gone and mentioned that Morgan also brought Booker T & Sharmell (who he calls "Mr. & Mrs. You-Know-Who") into TNA without a contract. Morgan said he did exactly what Cornette would have done. He thought he made a helluva match at the Genesis PPV. Cornette informed Morgan that he was on probation. He told Morgan that he's a valuable commodity, but for Cornette, business comes before family. Lance Hoyt & Jimy Rave then burst into the office. Hoyt says Spike TV demands that there should be no male-on-female violence on TNA programming, but Christy Hemme got hit by a member of the Latino Nation. He demanded to know who that member was. Before Cornette could do anything about that, his attention was drawn to the antics of Team 3-D in the ring.
Jeremy Borash was backstage with TNA World Tag Team Champions A. J. Styles & Tomko. Borash said Christian Cage was not happy about their alliance with Kurt Angle. A. J. said this was all a big misunderstading. He looked straight into the camera and told Christian that he's under a great deal of pressure ever since Cage made him the team captain. He thought everything would be better off for them with this deal. He asked Tomko if he thought Cage would understand this. Tomko said, "No.", then walked off. A. J. got worried that he would be demoted and asked Borash what was below Team Captain. Borash suggested "Co-Captain". A. J. said he could deal with that.
Jim Cornette had rolled out the red carpet for the contract signing. He said he's proud and pleased to be here for this. He then introduced Booker T & Sharmell. Cornette said it was tremendous to have them joining TNA. Booker said "Thank You" to the fans. Cornette said there are questions and he has management on his back. Fans chant "Thank You, Booker!" Booker said the fans will soon be calling him "Booker TNA". Cornette asked Booker what his goals in TNA were. Before he could answer, Christian Cage came out. Cornette was upset. Cage said he wanted to come out and say "Hello" to an "old friend". He said he's had some personal problems recently and since he can't find A. J. Styles & Tomko, he'll take care of them himself. He knows what Booker wants, a shot at the TNA World Title, but informs Booker that in TNA, there are no scepters, no thrones, no crowns, but there is a king. It's Christian Cage. He's the real champion. He then told Booker to get to the back of the line. He also seriously insults Sharmell (in such a way that TV censors bleeped the vast majority of what he said to her), which provoked Booker to attack Cage. Booker told Cage that he's just taken the #1 contenders spot.
TNA World Tag Team Champions A. J. Styles & Tomko came to rescue of TNA World Champion Kurt Angle by Scott Hall & Kevin Nash. Samoa Joe then joined Hall & Nash as their partner and was confirmed as the partner at the Turning Point PPV.
