Samoa Joe’s TNA World Heavyweight Championship was on the line in this match.
Samoa Joe once competed in a match against Essa Rios on WWF Jakked. Sting has never been in the WWF or WWE.

The announcers of this match were Mike Tenay & Don West.
The time length of the match was 16:54.
The Match: Samoa Joe flips Sting out of the ring. Suicide dive by Joe onto Sting. Joe and Sting go into the crowd. They fight up the steps in one of the aisles. Joe jumps from a luxury box and drop kicks Sting on the steps. That spot was really good and something I have never seen before. It was very dangerous and they could have gotten seriously hurt. More fighting in the crowd. Finally, they are back to ringside. They were in the crowd for almost six minutes. Joe throws Sting into the ring. Sting fights back with a DDT and a frog splash off the tope rope. Joe regains control with a power bomb and he applies a submission hold. Sting gets to the ropes. Joe with the snap slam. Sting kicks out of a pin. Stinger Splash by Sting in the corner. Musclebuster by Sting and Joe gets up immediately. Scorpion Death Drop (inverted DDT) by Joe and Sting gets up immediately. These guys have forgotten to sell. Another Stinger Splash by Sting in the corner, but then Joe takes control of the match. Kevin Nash comes out and watches the match from ringside. Nash looks older than he does now. It’s a good thing WWE forces him to dye his hair whenever he is on WWE TV. Joe talks to the referee and Sting goes for his bat, but Nash takes it away from him. Clothesline by Joe. Pin attempt and Sting kicks out. Joe runs into the ropes and Nash hits Joe with the bat! What?! I’m confused. Nash took away Sting’s bat so Sting couldn’t hit Joe and then Nash hit Joe with that same bat. That doesn’t make sense at all. Sting hits the Scorpion Death Drop and pins Joe. Sting is the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion.
