Full Results The show opens with a big, elaborate video package centered around the Sting vs. Bobby Roode main event.
Following the video package, we enter the arena as the pyro explodes and the announcers, Taz and Mike Tenay, run down tonight's featured bouts.
In-Ring Segment: Bully Ray & James Storm
Bully Ray's music hits and out he comes. Bully Ray quickly makes his way to the ring. Ray grabs the mic and orders the sound-man to shut off his ring music. He paces around in a huff before sending a referee to the back. The crowd chants for Devon. Ray doesn't seem pleased. Ray asks the fans if they know who he is. The crowd chants "you suck" at Ray. Ray says that right now he is the talk of the wrestling world. He claims to be trending worldwide on Twitter. He says he's trending, not because he's the toughest man in the world, not because he's calf-zilla (I love how fat people brag about having big calf muscles, by the way) but because he's taking the PPV hostage. Ray threatens that the fans will not get a PPV tonight if he doesn't get what he wants -- which is for his match with James Storm to be for the #1 contendership at Lockdown. He claims he'll beat up anyone who tries coming to the ring to stop him. James Storm finally comes out. He says Ray has chicken legs. Storm says he'll knock him out and remove him from the ring. Storm agrees to make their match for the #1 contendership.
#1 Contender For The World Title
James Storm
vs.
Bully Ray
From there, Storm hits the ring and the match is immediately underway. Ray ambushes Storm and beats him into the corner, taking him to each corner of the ring to pound away at him. Ray grabs Storm's beer and takes a swig, but as he turns around he runs into a Last Call superick by Storm. Storm pins him for the easy 1-2-3. The match is over, just like that!
Winner: James Storm
Backstage: Jeremy Borash, Eric Bischoff & Austin Aries
Backstage, Jeremy Borash is with Austin Aries. Borash announces that they will be taking questions from Twitter for all of the guests backstage at Victory Road tonight.

Borash asks if Bischoff's name is Dixie Carter. Bischoff ultimately sends him away anyways. Bischoff grabs the microphone and sings Aries' praises. He apologizes for Aries having to spend any time with Borash. He re-asks him the Twitter question. Aries says he doesn't have to be the last match on the show to be the main event. Aries says he's always the main event, no matter where he's positioned on the card. Bischoff and Aries kiss each other's ass one more time to end the segment.

Victory Road goes off the air with Roode yelling and Dixie crying.
Could have done a lot better with the end. But this continues to be the reason why TNA cannot cross to that next level. Clearly Storm should have come out to start to build to next months pay per view. Instead no where to be found in that long boring segment. The next time TNA is on pay per view is LockDown (All matches inside a steel cage).
