Prior to the start of the taping for next week's edition of Impact, TNA taped a segment for a future episode of Impact where Mike Tenay and Don West stood at the top of the ramp; their microphones were not on for the live crowd. Tenay and West then got in the ring where they did a 2008 recap and hyped matches for the airing of the New Year's edition of Impact. They then taped The Beautiful People vs. Roxxi & Taylor Wilde with the Beautiful People winning after Angelina Love pinned Roxxi. After they taped next week's TV they filmed Beer Money, Inc. defeating LAX to retain the TNA Tag Team Championship in a match that will be included on the New Year's episode.
TNA Impact (Airing Next Thursday, December 4th on Spike TV):
* The show opened with a Main Event Mafia segment where Kevin Nash calls out Team 3D for what they did last week. Team 3D ends up coming out and Brother Ray announces that they will be the tag team partners for AJ Styles & Samoa Joe at Final Resolution. The rest of the TNA Frontline end up in the crowd and Rhino says that this week's edition of Impact is dedicated to taking out the Main Event Mafia. Rhino tells Sting that he made the wrong choice and Brother Ray gets the crowd going.
* Booker T w/Sharmell b. Samoa Joe to retain the TNA Legends Championship after the Beautiful People came to the ring and interfered, spraying perfume in Joe's eyes.

* Consequences Creed, Jay Lethal, & Eric Young b. Jimmy Rave, Sonjay Dutt w/SoCal Val, & Sheik Abdul Bashir. Bashir left the match before it started and joined West & Tenay on commentary. After the match, Bashir attacked Eric Young which resulted in Young stealing the X Division title and celebrating with it in the ring with Creed and Lethal.
* Kurt Angle comes out for an in-ring promo and calls out Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett comes out and Angle talks about how this could be his last Impact but he's more focused than ever for his match at Final Resolution against Rhino.

* Rhino b. TNA Champion Sting in a non-title match. Kurt Angle and AJ Styles came out during the match and when Angle tried to interfere the distraction allowed Rhino to hit Gore and get the pinfall.
