It is also announced that Bully will have the celebration party later. Sting's music plays and he heads to the ring with the team that beat the Aces & Eights at LockDown. He takes a microphone, but is interrupted by the club's Vice President, D’Lo Brown on the stage: ''Hey Sting, before you start celebrating anything, just know that this war is not over. It is only over when MY president says so.''
The A&8's appear from the middle of the audience and surround the ring ready to attack. Kurt Angle appears and attacks D’Lo, causing the Aces to enter the ring and attack everybody. As the fight progresses, several elements on both sides are thrown out of the ring, leaving only Sting and Devon. The fight continues outside the ring, but Team TNA is on top when Sting sends Devon out and the Aces retreat to the crowd. Hulk Hogan then appears and announces Sting vs Devon next in a Lumberjack Match with the members of the A&8's and Team TNA. This will be for Devon's TV Championship.

>> The ring is decorated and everyone gets ready for the celebration of Bully Ray. Hulk Hogan appears and does not seem to be very happy. He announces that the celebration of the new world champion will have to be canceled, as Bully suffered an injury at the expense of the Aces attack and will not be able to attend. He says that however there is another achievement to celebrate and that achievement is Sting's and calls him to the ring. This one comes to the ring with the TV Championship on his waist. Hulk says that the Aces will never have a title in their hands again, not even the Knockout’s, as he will do everything to prevent this from happening.
Sting prepares to speak when he is interrupted by Jeff Hardy. The latter comes to the ring and asks Hulk when he will have the rematch. Sting, furious at not being allowed to speak, criticizes Hardy for just wanting to know about himself. Jeff says he just wants what is his, just as Devon wants to regain the title he lost, so Sting should be on the lookout everywhere. Hulk interrupts the discussion and announces that in 2 weeks Sting will defend the title against Devon, in the rematch, just as Bully will defend the world title, if he is able, against Hardy.
Hardy thanks Hulk for clarification and starts to leave, but the GM has one more surprise. He announces that Jeff will fight next week and that his opponent is Sting. The Aces appear through the public and attack Hogan and Sting. Team TNA comes to the rescue, but this time they are unsuccessful.
With Team TNA on the ground and Aces & Eights leaving, Jeff Hardy goes to the top rope and delivers a Swanton Bomb on Sting to close the show.
