Each man comes out to their music and pyro, entering the ring one by one as the crowd roars. Kazarian and Stevie Richards start the match for their teams. Fortune has the advantage due to a match they won on Impact. Styles was in next for the heels, and Dreamer followed for the faces. Richards sold an ankle injury, but had no problem holding up Kazarian for a move while Dreamer jumped off the ropes at him. The match continues with much back and forth between Dreamer and Styles throughout the match. Towards the end Dreamer starts to get the upper hand attacking Styles. Dreamer hit the Dreamer Driver on Styles and pins him for the win.
Winner: Tommy Dreamer, Rhino, Stevie Richards, Sabu and Raven (w/Mick Foley)

After the Lockdown match is over they cut backstage to Hemme interviewing Kurt Angle. Hemme notes that Angle said he would retire if he lost the match. Angle said he wasn’t in the mood to talk but he guarantees he will become the TNA Champion.
Three-Way Match (no disqualifications, no countouts, and no time limit)
Kurt Angle vs. Mr. Anderson vs. Jeff Hardy
Kurt Angle comes to the ring as his music hits and the crowd roars. Out next is Jeff Hardy followed by Mr. Anderson. Angle gets the first major move in the match by hitting a double suplex on both Hardy and Anderson. Anderson is bleeding instantly on the top of his head. Angle and Anderson continue to fight ringside. Back inside the ring Angle hits a bunch of German suplexes on Anderson and Hardy. While Angle has Hardy in an ankle lock Anderson tries to break the hold but Angle sees it coming and knocks him down and applies a double ankle lock on both wrestlers. Anderson then picks up Kurt in a fireman’s carry and does a summersault for the pin but Hardy is able to break it up with a Swankton onto Anderson. Angle gets Hardy with an Angle Slam for a near fall to no avail. The match continues to go back and forth until Eric Bischoff comes to the ring with a chair in his hand, standing over Angle and Anderson but before he is able to use it Hulk Hogan’s music hits the arena. Hogan makes his way to the arena with a security guard while fumbling his way into the ring with his crutches. Somehow Bischoff ends up with one of Hogan’s crutches and Hogan hands his remaining crutch to a beaten Hardy. Hardy turns and hits Angle with the crutch. Anderson gets to his knees and Hardy hits him with the chair in his back. Hardy hits the Twist of Fate on Anderson. There is a three count with Hardy getting the win. Bischoff takes the mic and announces Jeff Hardy as the new TNA Champion.
Winner and NEW TNA World Champion: Jeff Hardy
