-Austin Aries walks.

-Roode cuts a promo on his plans coming together for Sunday’s PPV match.

-Tenay and Taz discuss the attack on Sting from earlier. Sting has been taken to a local hospital.

-Austin Aries makes his way to the ring, where there is a ladder set up. Aries agrees with the crowd’s chants, in that he wants Jeff as well. Jeff thinks he is the best in the world, but he feels that is over played. Aries is the greatest wrestler in this universe or any other universe. Three seconds at BFG didn’t change that. And now the ladder match was made for Jeff, because everyone knows he cannot beat Aries. Aries says that the ladder match has defined Jeff’s career, and that he is a great daredevil. Aries promises that Sunday, this will be the fall that Jeff doesn’t get up from, physically, mentally or emotionally. Aries says he will walk in and beat Jeff at his own game. The bottom line, he will win the title, and will have a party. He will carry around the TNA belt with pride, and melt down Jeff’s for a belt buckle, and there is nothing Jeff can do about it. But now, he has to hand over the title to get his shot. Because that’s what Hogan wants. But he will not hand it to him, Jeff has to come down and take it.

Enter Jeff Hardy. Aries is ready for Jeff, and Jeff charges the ring and they brawl. BOTCHED twist of fate, Aries slides to the floor and Jeff celebrates with both titles. He then has a set of hooks lowered, and puts the belts on them and climbs the ladder to celebrate. Aries returns to pull the ladder out from under Jeff, and he then lays the boots to him. Aries places the ladder on Jeff, and climbs and poses under the titles…

-End scene….
