With all the latest happenings (Nash and Booker both ditching TNA for WWE) and a MEM reunion looking less and less genuine, wouldn't this be a perfect time for Dixie to pull her first big genuine swerve that no one saw coming and have "they" be something completely new?
So far, all we've seen is Kurt Angle call in a suit wearing Scott Steiner for help. Sure it leads everyone to think the MEM are coming back, but what if that was the whole point? Get everyone to look over at those guys, while "they" move freely behind the scenes.
I'm not even crediting TNA for thinking this far ahead, but wouldn't it be awesome if Impact started with Hogan and Bischoff in the ring, saying exactly what we're all thinking. Point out the obvious MEM clues, have a joke that they're already two men down before they've even shown up and that they feel totally safe behind the might of Immortal.
Follow that up with more MEM hints throughout the show to freak Immortal out. Then, in the final segment, every member of Immortal marches down to the ring. Bischoff is damn near screaming at the backstage area, saying he's had it and for them to get the hell out here and face them. The MEM music hits, the lights go dark, and when they come back up...FORTUNE HAVE JUMPED IMMORTAL! It was all mindgames on Flair's part! He's sick of Hogan and Bischoff calling the shots and has teamed up with Dixie Carter to make their lives a living hell!
Anyway, that's how I'd book it. You don't have to sign any new guys, you get a shocking angle that turns the power struggle on it's head and you elevate the existing stable of Fortune in the process.
