Styles demanded Bischoff hold the title up in the air.  There was a moment where Flair and Bischoff stared at each other.  They rang the bell.

Styles elbowed Joe across the back of the neck.  He drilled Joe with a dropkick as he rebounded off the ropes.  Styles began whipping out the "Woos" as he chopped Joe but Joe returned in kind.  They went back and forth.  Styles placed Joe atop the turnbuckles and went for a top rope rana.  Joe pushed him off and drilled a knee off the ropes for a two count. 

Joe began beating on Styles with right hands and punches in the corner.  Styles avoided a Joe charge but when he went after Joe, was caught with a Uranage out of the corner.  Joe charged Styles but was kicked off.  Styles mounted him with a series of right hands but Bischoff pulled him off.  Styles and Bischoff argued while Flair grabbed Joe and slammed his leg into a ringpost.  Styles clipped Joe from behind.

When Bischoff returned to the ring, he began screaming at Bischoff and grabbed him by the shirt.  Styles hit the Pele Kick on the distracted Joe, then hit the Styles Clash.  Bischoff slowly counted three, although he wasn't happy about it.

Your winner and still TNA champion AJ Styles!

Flair grabbed the mic and demanded Bischoff raise Styles' hand.  Flair yelled at the fans to show him and Styles respect.

This was your usual good Joe vs. Styles bout but with the Ric Flair heel vs. babyface template over it.  Easily the best thing from an in-ring standpoint on the show.  To me, it seems Flair and Bischoff are actually in cahoots, but we'll see.

Ken Anderson cut a promo saying he was going to finish off his bucket list tonight after checking off beating Kurt Angle and Abyss.  He said he was going to finish off by sending Dinero back to the Harlem Street Corner he came from.  His promos are on fire tonight.

Jeremy Borash interviewed Dinero.  Dinero was giving his usual fun promo when Scott Hall and Sean Waltman attacked him, throwing him into the wall of the TNA interview set.  Security held them back.  Hall yelled for Hogan, saying he shouldn't turn his back on the Wolfpack.  Cue Jerry McDevitt. 

So Dinero is going to go in and win after the impossible for a huge pop as a babyface or Anderson becomes the heel who back doored his way into a title match.

8 Card Stud Tournament Final: D'Angelo Dinero vs. Ken Anderson for Lockdown title shot.

They played Dinero's music but no initial sign of him.  They stopped playing the music and instead introduced Anderson.  They ref rang the bell and began counting out Dinero.  At six, Dinero emerged on the stage.  Anderson hit a running clothesline on the ramp.  He returned to the ring to break up the countout then went right back after Dinero on the ramp.

Dinero began to mount a comeback.  Anderson went to the floor off the ramp to try and escape but Dinero was right after him.  Anderson cut him off with a kick to the gut.   He whipped Dinero into the steel steps.  They showed AJ Styles and Ric Flair watching the match on a monitor backstage to see who gets the Lockdown title shot.  Anderson worked over Dinero and returned to the ring, telling the referee to count him out.

Dinero pulled himself to his feet and got to the apron but Anderson knocked him back off the apron to the floor.  Dinero finally returns to the ring.  He tries to suplex Anderson but it's reversed.  Anderson covered Dinero but he kicks out.   Anderson stomped Dinero's hand, which seemed to fire up Pope, who nailed several shots.

Anderson escaped a small package and drilled Dinero with a series of elbows for a two count.    Dinero keeps trying to fire up but Anderson just cuts him right back down.  Anderson continued to control the bout with Dinero getting a small flare of offense.  The fans started to chat for Dinero, who called for Anderson to keep bringing it.  Anderson did.
