On last week's Impact, Mr. Anderson was still extremely ticked off about not getting the title rematch he felt he deserved. He brought his old college math professor, or at least some guy pretending to be him, out to the ring to prove mathematically that he was owed a title shot against Sting. The equations were soon put aside when Anderson asked the professor if he remembered that one hot girl in the class, and then accused the prof of telling the girl that Anderson was gay because he liked her himself. The "perverted professor," as Bischoff called him later, admitted he had said that about Anderson back then, and swiftly received a Mic Check from Anderson for it.

This of course drew the ire of Bischoff and Hogan, who stormed down to the ring. Bischoff said that Anderson was nothing but garbage and that he couldn't understand what Hogan saw in him. Hogan interrupted and told Anderson that he would not get a rematch right away, but that there would be another number one contender's match that night with Anderson facing RVD. The champion Sting came out to reveal that the "network" had made him special enforcer for that match, and that he would be in charge if anything dodgy happened during the match.

Knockouts champion Madison Rayne ordered Tara to go destroy Mickie James, no matter what it took. Tara failed, though, as James picked up the win, which Madison was visibly angry about. I'm guessing there could be some major friction between Rayne and Tara real soon.

The Pope continued his descent into being a vicious heel by further brutalizing Samoa Joe's bodyguard Okato, whom he had also tortured the week before. Of course Pope always runs away when Joe shows up on the scene. If they clash at Lockdown, then Pope will have nowhere to run or hide.

There was an altercation between Matt Hardy, Bully Ray, Ric Flair and Fortune. Fortune was missing AJ Styles, who had been powerbombed off the stage by Bully Ray last week and sent to the hospital. Despite this, Fortune managed to gain the upper hand over their Immortal rivals, until Abyss made a surprise return and destroyed them.

The newest heel faction, "Mexican America," comprised of Hernandez, Anarchia, Sarita and Rosita, came out to inform the fans that Mexicans were the greatest race, and that they were taking over America day by day. The men squared off against Devon and Matt Morgan and defeated them using underhanded tactics as Anarchia hit Devon in the head with a concealed weapon. Velvet Sky ran out to attack Sarita and Rosita but soon found herself outnumbered. Angelina Love started down the ramp, presumably to help Velvet, but the blank expression on her face indicated that something wasn't right. Winter came out and screamed at Angelina to come back, and Love complied, leaving Sky to get repeatedly kicked by the female members of Mexican America.

The main event ended with no number one contender yet again, as Mr. Anderson, frustrated with the fact that Sting was not counting RVD out, struck him and was disqualified. Anderson and Sting beat the hell out of each other until security arrived to break it up. After the match, RVD appeared to have a concussion sustained from receiving a Mic Check into a ring post. He was completely out of it and did not even remember being in the match.
