To prepare for his match with Angle, Cage brought Scott Steiner in as a "trainer", citing an intense dislike Steiner had for Angle at the time (which Steiner later explained as all contract negotiations involving himself having been put on indefinite hold by Angle's coming to TNA).
During the same event, Kurt Angle became the number one contender to the NWA World Heavyweight title and moved into a feud with Cage.
