PROGRAMMING NOTE: SPIKE will air the “Road to Lockdown” at midnight Saturday night. If all goes to plan, I’ll have a recap of that.

-We get a video recap of last week’s show.

-Sting, Joe and Rhino are in the ring. Angle now makes his way out. They are sporting Lockdown shirts, PRODUCT PLACEMENT~! Sting apologizes for not calling Kurt back, but he had issues to work through and he did. He is a wrestler, and loves TNA and appreciates the offer to be on the team. He says they need the 5th man though, and tells Angle to introduce him. Angle says he respects Sting, but he can’t tell them. He has to come to grips with some things before he announces it. Joe now says they need to be real. He doesn’t believe Angle anymore. They are one man short to slaughter. He then says the road to the title is easier without them around. Conspiracy! He says they all stepped up, and now Angle has to as well. Angle says never to question him. He says by the end of the night, and swears on the flag, that there will be five…there will be five.

-Tenay and West welcome us to the show.

-Nash is out and introduces “Black Machismo.” Jay Lethal has fully turned into the Macho Man.
