Backstage Segment: Dixie Carter reveals that the X-Division Title will defended in a 4-Man X-Division Ladder Match at Lockdown. The contestants were revealed as Tigre Uno, Manik, Rockstar Spud, and obviously the X-Division Champion Kenny King. King approaches Dixie and complains that she is out to get him because his odds to retain the title were much less then that of a one-on-one match.
Match #3 - EC3 and Tyrus vs. Rockstar Spud vs. Mandrews
A good match between a more established team and a team that has something to prove. The established team of EC3 and Tyrus continue their dominance but most of the dirty work was handled by Tyrus who pins Mandrews for the win.
Winner: EC3 and Tyrus
Match #4 - Drew Galloway vs. Homicide - No Holds Barred
Drew Galloway makes his singles debut and impressive fashion as he shows the TNA crowd exactly what he can do in the ring. He displayed a wide-array of moves on Homicide.

Match #5 The Wolves vs The Revolution (The Great Sanada and Manik) w/ James Storm
A very solid match up between two very talented tag teams. The Revolution takes early control with the help of James Storm interference but The Wolves bounce back and pick up yet another victory. After the match EC3 and Tyrus come out and attack The Wolves and a Steel Cage Tag Team match is announced between the two for Lockdown.

Main Event: Eric Young vs. Austin Aries
A sample of what is to come on Sunday. The only thing we're missing is a Steel Cage and Kurt Angle. Eric Young displays his new mean streak as he delivers a lot viscous blows to Austin Aries through-out the entire match but Austin Aries swings the momentum back on his side with a number of acrobatic moves. Aries is able to get the win in the end. After the match Aries extended his hand and told him "Good Luck This Sunday" but EY slapped his hand away and stormed out of the ring as the show ended.
Winner: Austin Aries
