Off the heels of Sunday's "Against All Odds" PPV highlights from the PPV are shown focusing on the TNA World Title situation and Angle/Jarrett. We actually see clips of Hardy being checked on by medical staff after the Ladder Match.

They then hype up the fact that RVD will FINALLY get his rematch for the TNA World Heavyweight Title.

Cutting to the arena Immortal makes their way out to the ring minus Jeff Jarrett & Jeff Hardy. Bischoff grabs a microphone and introduces the new World Heavyweight Champion: Jeff Hardy. Bischoff says Jeff Hardy is living proof that you can take Fortune out of Immortal, but you can't take greatness out of the Antichrist. He says that Hardy did what he had to do to prove what Immortal is and once again they are living large. He tells the crowd to give it up for Hardy but he gets a chorus of boos instead. We cut to the parking lot where Ric Flair is arriving! Flair says everyone thought that Immortal was depleted and on it's last leg but they are back on track. Bischoff says Gunner, Murphy, & Terry went toe-to-toe with Steiner & Beer Money and claims they were the better athletes (even though they lost). Bischoff then says Matt Hardy proved what he has against RVD and he'll do it again against AJ Styles tonight. Bischoff says that they had talked about Jeff taking some time off after the Ladder Match but he proved to everyone just what kind of athlete he is at AAO. So much so that the network (Spike TV) called him and said that they know Jeff Hardy is ratings and because of that they want to see Hardy defend the title against RVD tonight! Jeff doesn't seem too thrilled. Bischoff says he will talk to the network but that's the plan for tonight and he knows Jeff can get the job done. Bischoff says we have one more piece of business to get out of the way as a huge "RVD" chant breaks out. He says everything is in place for Immortal and he says Jeff Jarrett is planning his wedding vows renewal right now, but the only thing left up in the air is Ric Flair. He says he's been calling Flair nonstop but he never answers. Bischoff says he went to bat for Ric Flair to bring him into Immortal and convinced Hogan that Flair was good for them. He says he was starting to question Flair and he gives him until next week to come out and explain himself, but Flair isn't going to make him wait that long!

and Hardy get in each others face and then they lockup but RVD breaks it and then nails Hardy with a forearm. They lockup again and this time RVD slams Hardy, but Hardy quickly gets away and gets to the ropes. Hardy then swings at Van Dam, but Van Dam ducks and lifts Hardy up and crotches him on the top rope. RVD then punches Hardy and climbs up top and hits a Diving Back Kick! Tenay says that Flair has accepted AJ's challenge. Hardy rolls out to the floor and RVD hits a Diving Dropkick through the ropes onto Hardy. RVD then suplexes Hardy onto the guardrail draping him over it. RVD then climbs onto the apron and hits the Corkscrew Leg Drop onto Hardy!

----------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK--------------------------

Back from the break RVD hits a Slingshot Leg Drop over the rope onto Hardy on the apron! RVD follows up with a Slingshot Leg Drop this time in the ring for a nearfall. RVD taunts Hardy and then nails him with a series of Shoulder Blocks in the corner followed by a Front Kick and then a Front Slam. RVD follows up with Split Legged Moonsault, but Hardy gets his knees up! Hardy hits a Sliding Dropkick on RVD that sends RVD's ribs into the ring post! RVD crashes down to the floor and Hardy taunts the crowd as Anderson checks on Van Dam. RVD rolls back in and Hardy puts the boots to him. Hardy hits a Sitout Front Suplex, 1...2...NO RVD kicks out! Hardy locks in a rear chinlock, looks like RVD has a minor cut under his eye. RVD fights to his feet and tries to break the hold but Hardy cuts him off. Hardy then tries to whip Hardy into the corner, but RVD reverses it. RVD then charges but eats a nasty back elbow from Hardy! Hardy springs to the top and goes for the Whisper In The Wind, but RVD just does side step it and then quickly connects with a Standing Moonsault! RVD connects with a series of strikes and then he whips Hardy into the corner and nails him with a Running Spin Kick. RVD then hits Rolling Thunder! 1...2...NO Hardy kicks out! Jeff tries to kick RVD as he gets to his feet but RVD catches his foot and then he spins Hardy around and wraps Jeff up with a Body Scissors into a Body Scissors Rollup! 1...2...NO Jeff kicks out! Jeff goes for another kick and again RVD catches his foot and this time hits the Stepover Heel Kick! RVD climbs up top but Hardy shoves him off the top rope down to the guardrail! Hardy rolls RVD back into the ring and then goes up top and hits the Swanton Bomb! 1...2...NO RVD kicks out and Jeff Hardy cannot believe it! Jeff gets in Anderson's face and shows his frustration. Hardy picks RVD up but RVD connects with a Jawbreaker out of nowhere followed by a Spinning Back Kick! RVD climbs up top again and connects with a beautiful 5-Star Frog Splash! 1...2...NO Jeff gets his foot on the bottom rope! RVD shows a little frustration now as well. RVD goes for a German Suplex but Hardy fights it off and as he goes for the ropes he slams into Anderson in the corner. He uses this distraction to mule kick RVD in the nuts as Anderson starts seething at Hardy. Hardy turns around and connects with the Twist of Hate for the pin.

Winner & STILL TNA World Champ: Hardy via pinfall (Twist of Hate)

Anderson raises Hardy's hand but then nails him with the Mic Check! RVD argues with Anderson over the low blow so Anderson hits him with the Mic Check too! Anderson then picks up the TNA Title and throws it on top of Hardy. Mike Tenay says once an asshole, always an asshole.
