– AJ Styles defeat Booker T in an I Quit Match to retain the TNA Legends Title
– Sting defeat Mick Foley, Kurt Angle, & Jeff Jarrett in a Four Way Ultimate Sacrifice Match. Each man wagered an important aspect of their career on the match; Angle’s leadership of the Main Event Mafia, Sting’s career, Jarrett’s stake in TNA, & Foley’s TNA World Title. Sting defeated Angle to gain control of the Main Event Mafia, & as a result, Foley retained the TNA World Title.
