After a five month absence I’ve decided to jump into the belly of the beast and resume Impact Wrestling coverage. On this week’s show Samoa Joe makes his return, Austin Aries teams with The Wolves to take on MVP, Kenny King, and Bobby Lashley, and Bully Ray puts someone through a table because that’s just what he does.
If you thought the saga of Samuel Shaw ended at Sacrifice think again; last night on IMPACT Wrestling TNA caught up with the Christy Hemme enthusiast in the mental ward where he had been committed to following his loss to Mr. Anderson where he received an unlikely visitor in the form of…Gunner. Didn’t see that coming.

The feud between Gunner and James Storm (possibly) reached its conclusion this week on IMPACT Wrestling as the two former friends faced off in an “Anything Goes” match to settle their dispute. Also on the show MVP made an announcement about the next World Title defense, champ Magnus teamed with associate Abyss to take on The Wolves, Velvet Sky questioned Angelina Love about her attack of Madison Rayne the week before, and the duo of Ethan Carter III and Rockstar Spud took to the woods to find the (charismatic) enigmatic Willow.

See what I did there? Wakka wakka.
Results and notes from the episode come courtesy of Chris Shore‘s much more detailed report over at ProWrestling.net.

SEGMENTS/NOTES
-The show began with a pier-six brawl between Abyss and Eric Young which began backstage and made its way to the ring. Abyss eventually got the upper hand, despite some brief interference from ODB, and choked EY out with a chain until officials finally broke it up. EY would be sent to the hospital, meaning that he would no longer be in Samoa Joe‘s corner chained to Abyss during the World Title match. Joe confronted MVP about this backstage and MVP offered to look for a replacement, Joe being wary because when MVP tries to help things go wrong. Eventually MVP just took on the role himself.
–Gunner cut an in-ring promo talking about his military background and doting on his Dad, who was ringside. James Storm came out to interrupt. Eventually Storm handcuffed Gunner to the middle rope, forcing him to watch as Storm beat his Dad up, cracking a beer bottle over his head.
–Angelina Love called Velvet Sky to the ring, and once again asked for a Beautiful People reunion. Sky accepted, then they called out Knockouts Champ Madison Rayne to complete the trio. Rayne said she was already treated poorly, and had outgrown the stable, turning down the reunion. Later on Love caught up with Rayne backstage and asked again. Rayne said she’d think about it, so Love attacked her instead, choking her and saying The Beautiful People were her and Sky, and that’s it.
–Bully Ray traveled to TNA HQ to speak with Dixie Carter, having been invited by her. He said his piece in her office, but it turned out she wasn’t in the chair the entire time (?). Bobby Roode then ran in and laid Ray out, saying he was the one who had invited Ray and led him into a trap.
-A vignette followed Knux as he ventured home to check on family business and see a woman.
