TNA Victory Road Opener:

The show opens with a video package highlighting the main feuds heading into tonight, especially the return of Sting to the ring to take on Bobby Roode in a No Holds Barred match.

After the video package, the pyro hits and Mike Tenay welcomes us to the PPV. He begins hyping the main event before talking a couple of things over with his broadcast partner, Taz.

– Bully Ray’s music hits, and the big man makes his way down to the ring quickly, grabbing the mic and telling the sound man to shut his music off. Ray paces around angrily before sending a referee to the back.

The crowd chants that they want Devon. Ray doesn’t look too amused with this. Ray asks the crowd if they know who he is. He asks the question again. The crowd lets him know what they think by chanting “you suck”. He says that he’s Bully Ray, and as of right now, he’s the talk of the wrestling world. He says as of right now, he’s trending worldwide on Twitter. He says he’s trending, not because he’s the toughest man in wrestling, not because he’s calf-zilla, but because he’s taken the PPV hostage.

Ray says that tonight the people in the crowd will get nothing. They only get a PPV if Ray gets what he wants. And what he wants, is for his match with James Storm to be for the #1 Contendership at Lockdown. He doesn’t care if wrestlers come down, security, referees, or police, he will beat the crap out of anyone who tries to remove him from the ring until he gets what he wants. He stands in the ring for a minute before James Storm’s music hits.

Storm makes his way out to the ring with a mic in one hand and a beer in the other. He says there are a lot of beer drinkers in Orlando tonight. He calls Bully’s legs “chicken legs”. He says Bully talks about how no one’s going to be able to remove him from the ring, but Storm says it’ll be really easy to remove him after Storm knocks him out with his right foot. Storm says they’re scheduled later on for their match, and Ray wants it to be for the #1 Contendership. Storm says he’ll give it to him, and right now.

Bully Ray vs. James Storm

Storm heads into the ring and the match is on right away as Ray ambushes Storm and beats on him in the corner, taking him from corner to corner and beating on him. Ray grabs Storm’s beer and takes a swig, but he turns around into a last call superkick. Storm goes for the pin and gets the three count, and this one is already over!

Winner: James Storm

Following the match, Storm celebrates in the ring before posing for the crowd, and making his way to the back. Storm yells to the referee to get him out of the ring.

He’s got a question that asks when will Sting smarten up and let Aries main event a PPV. Eric Bischoff breaks in and asks if JB is really here? He tries to send Borash away. Borash asks if Bischoff’s name is Dixie Carter, but Bischoff does eventually send him away. Bischoff grabs the mic and sings Aries’ praises. He apologizes for Aries having to spend any time with Borash. He asks him the question over again. Aries says he doesn’t have to be the last match of the evening to be the main event. He’s always the main event. Bischoff and Aries pat each other on the back for a bit before shaking hands.

Winner: Bobby Roode

Following the match, Roode sends Hebner flying from the ring and through the ropes to the outside. Roode heads over to Dixie, who’s sitting in the front row. He grabs a chair that’s laying at her feet and stares at her for a while before heading back to the ring. He slides the ring in the chair, then turns around and grabs Dixie, sliding her into the ring.

Sting is back on his feet, and he fights Roode off, sending him to the outside. Sting turns his attention to Dixie, and that allows Roode to come in from behind with a wicked chair shot to the back.

Roode grabs the chair, and goes over to the corner, but Dixie shields Sting with her body.

Roode tosses the chair away and asks Dixie if she likes him. She tells her to look at Sting. He wipes some of the paint off of Sting’s face and wipes it on to Dixie’s. Roode tells Dixie that there’s nothing she can do. The PPV ends with Dixie begging Roode to stop, and Roode pacing around the ring angrily.
