July 22 Taping Results:
{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Impact Wrestling:
Notably, TNA seemed to have an entirely new production crew and did not have an announce table set up. They were also announcing almost every match with 15 minute time limits unless otherwise noted. They had Impact Wrestling graphics up throughout the taping (Xplosion match aside) but the show felt like a One Night Only in that the focus was almost entirely on the wrestling.
Match 1) Drew Galloway defeated Bram via Running Kick.
Match 2) Rockstar Spud defeated Grado.
At one point Spud did a Stinger Splash and the Worm. Grado did an extended people’s elbow where he ran out of steam but still hit the elbow. Spud hit a Chokeslam and did a Undertaker style pin for a kick out. Spud then did a you can’t see me and went for the AA but Grado countered. Grado then went for a Sweet Chin Music while saying “I’m sorry I love you”. Spud hit a Stunner then the Underdog for the win.
Match 3) Awesome Kong defeated Madison Rayne via a Backfist and an Implant Buster. They exchanged some nearfalls having a more even match than I anticipated when it started.
Match 4) Ethan Carter III w/Tyrus vs. Austin Aries w/Thea (Rosita) went to a 15 minute time limit in a non title match. It was not addressed as to why Aries is wrestling again.
The crowd chanted let them fight and EC3 attempted to attack Aries. Aries got a forearm in on EC3 and hit the brainbuster on him EC3. Thea entered the ring and stood tall with Aries.
Match 5) Bobby Roode defeated James Storm in a match that went over ten minutes via the Payoff (Bridging Fisherman’s Suplex.)
Match 6) Abyss defeated Eric Young via Black Hole Slam. Abyss came out to his own music instead of the Revolution music and was wrestling like a face. He at one point went for Janice until the referee stopped him and Eric hit a low blow and a top rope elbow drop for a nearfall. Eric went for a Piledriver and Abyss scored the Black Hole Slam for the win.
Match 7) Brooke Tessmacher (who did not come out with the Knockout’s Championship) defeated Gail Kim with a roll up. The finish was sort of awkward and seemed like a 2 count. It also seemed like Brooke may have injured her right wrist during the course of the match as she was favoring it, even not having her right arm raised when she won.*
Match 8) Matt Hardy defeated Davey Richards via Twist of Fate.
Before the next match, they announced that Lashley vs Ken Anderson would be the main event of the taping.
Match 9) Kenny King defeated “‘The Thug’ Aiden O’Shea” (the former Jay Bradley, who wrestled in black slacks with strap down and a white wifebeater) with a Springboard Blockbuster. Kenny wrestled as a face.
Match 10) DJ Z defeated Tigre Uno (who like Brooke and EC3 did not enter with his title) with a step in Tornado DDT.
They taped an Xplosion Match now
Match 1) Tyrus defeated Chris Melendez with a thumb thrust to Chris’s throat.
Before the next match, Eli Drake cut a promo. “Greatest of all time” and asked the fans who is. He said simply by virtue of stepping in the door here in TNA, he has become the greatest TNA wrestler of all time. He said that chaps a lot of keesters around here and asks if anyone here remembers The Rising. He said he doesn’t either and claimed to play the two of them like a fiddle. Drew couldn’t get the job done on his own while Micah didn’t have the guts to step up on his own and that is just a fact of life. Queue Micah and we have a match.
Match 11) Micah defeated Eli Drake with a Samoan Drop.
- Eli Drake and Micah wrestled to a double count out. Micah then took a mic and said they are not ending on a draw and inspired a five more minutes chant. Eli walked up the ramp but Hemme announced it was continuing for five more minutes. Micah would end up pinning Drake not too long after the restart.
Match 12) Robbie E defeated Eddie Edwards with a Reverse DDT.
Match 13) Jessie Godderz defeated Crimson via The Adonis Crab
Match 14) Manik defeated Mandrews via the Detonation Kick (Fireman’s Carry Press into a kick to the head)
Match 15) Mahabali Shera defeated Crazzy Steve with the Sky High.
*At this point, they claimed Gail issued a complaint about the ending to the match earlier so they re-taped the finish. Brooke was still minding her wrist hardly even using her right hand. She caught Gail in a cradle pin, leaving the original result the same.
Match 16) Drew Galloway defeated Grado via running boot to the face. Drew raised Grado’s hand after the match.
Before the next match, Eric Young cut a promo. He said he is a world class professional wrestler. He is going to win this whole tournament. It doesn’t matter who they send out next. He will beat them and all of these people will be wrong. Bobby Roode’s music and there is a match.
Match 17) Eric Young defeated Bobby Roode via Piledriver. Roode went for a top rope blockbuster but Eric pulled Earl Hebner in the way and Roode stopped. Eric took advantage and hit the Piledriver for the win.

Bram took a mic and said he is not done attacking him and asked for the bell to be rung again. The ref rung the bell.

Tigre goes to leave and calls Uno a little Mexican coward. Tigre hits a springboard dropkick and the match is on.

Impact Wrestling:
Jeff Jarrett with Karen Jarrett came out for a promo. Jarrett talked about the phone call that got him back to Slammiversary and said this about more than a thank you. He couldn’t be more proud to say he is the newest member of the TNA Hall of Fame. His TNA career is complete and it is over. He left on a positive note by forming GFW and they are about competing at the highest level and that’s what they are about tonight. He talked about various sport rivalries and that is what it will be about tonight. On Impact for the first time ever they are going to get the best of the best of GFW vs TNA tonight. They have Sonjay Dutt vs Tigre Uno and they also have Awesome Kong vs Lei’d Tapa. They have the Wolves vs Trevor Lee and Brian Myers. In the main event it will be for the KOTM Title and before he can finish Eric Young comes out. He storms the ring and has a mic. Jarrett calls out him doing this for the fans and EY says he is not doing this for the fans. He talks about how he designs everything here. He decided the fate of the World Title twice and also that Kurt Angle should go home and never come back. He took a war hero’s leg because he felt like it. He is going to let Jarrett be the promoter and the bookerman and let Jarrett make him vs Eric Young tonight for his KOTM title. Jarrett says Eric doesn’t work for him and he doesn’t work for Eric which means he can kick his ass tonight with no repercussions. He isn’t doing it for himself or Eric but for the fans. He said he is not an active wrestler anymore and he is building the best brand for GFW. Jarrett said this belt will be defended in all promotions. He said there will be a King of the Mountain match tonight and Eric can declare himself the first wrestler in the match. They go to leave and Eric attacks. Chris Masters/Justin Fabriel/Brian Myers/Trevor LeeSonjay Futt make the save and a brawl ensues with Robbie E/The Wolves /Ken Anderson/Tigre Uno coming out and brawling with the GFW talent along with Eric. Jarrett stands tall with the title.
Match 1) Awesome Kong vs Lei’d Tapa w/Royal Red went to a double count out.
- Before the match Royal Red cut a promo introducing himself and Tapa and implores all Knockouts to bow down to her.
- Kong scoop slammed Tapa on the ramp after the match.
Bobby Roode came to the ring for a promo. He said it is crazy and chaotic out here and said there is a lot of unanswered questions and unknown including even with him. He says he is pissed off now and talks about the main event tonight and said that he is was not considered for the match. If there is any guy in any promotion anywhere in the world, it is him and Jarrett knows it. If Jarrett has a problem with it, say it to his face. Secondly, the unknown and uncertainty of one of the best teams in wrestling right now: Austin Aries. He said last week Aries put his job on the line in a match. One of the greatest wrestlers on the planet today and much to everyone’s surprise, he lost. He wants to bring out the man who beat Aries last week Rockstar Spud. Rockstar Spud comes to the ring. Roode offers Spud a handshake. He implores Spud to do it and they shake hands. Roode says Spud is all dressed up in his suit with his “itty bitty” bow tie and calls him proud as a peacock. Last week he defeated Austin Aries: a man who held the world, tag, and is one of the best X-Division champions in company history and ended his career last week. Spud proved that anyone at anytime on any given night can defeat anybody, even Spud. He says job well done. Spud says never in his dreams that he would be in this ring facing the It Factor Bobby Roode and he could be such a condescending prick. He throws off his blazer. He says Roode thinks that Spud does not belong here. He says that fans believe he should be here because when he was young he told his parents he wanted to be a wrestler and he wanted to be a champion and he did both. He said he was going to hand over the title and challenged Kurt Angle and he did it. He defeated The Greatest Man That Ever Lived and his former tag partner Austin Aries. He doesn’t know what Roode has circling in his head but don’t take it out on him. Roode is like the bully that takes the little kid’s lunch money. The difference is Spud will ask for his money back. Roode said Spud is an underdog but look at him now. He did all of those things that he said and he did them all with his wrestling ability. He should not be taking out his aggression on Spud but he is. If Roode were in the ring with him last week, he would have made sure he ended Spud’s career. He mentions he was the longest reigning champion and if he wants to take out his aggression on anybody he will do it and nobody is going to stop him. Spud says on any other day he would be right but there is one. He punches Roode. Roode fires back and lays him out. Roode hits him in the mic and chokes Spud with his blazer. Roode laid him out with a Roodebomb. He threw Spud out of the ring and threw Spud into the steps. Referees eventually showed up and broke it up.
Match 2) Lashley defeated Jessie Godderz via Spear.
Evidently with that win, Lashley is now in King of the Mountain because of that win.
World Heavyweight Champion Ethan Carter III and Tyrus came out. He said he was born and bred to carry this company on his back to the future. This title represents a culmination of his live’s work. This title means he is better than any man in any locker room across the world. Last week, he defended it in not a match but a car crash. He commends Matt Hardy and says how he climbed the ranks and picked up the stipulation but he still lost. Matt Hardy comes out noticeably limping. He tells Ethan that he heard every word that he said. He says EC3 has a claim at being the best in the world right now. Last week he beat him in a match that Matt helped create. He admits defeat and says Ethan has proven that he is among the greats with being a TNA Champion. Matt says he is not going away. As long as Ethan is champ he will go after the title and continue “#MattForChamp.” He will not stop or quit because Matt Hardy will not die. Ethan says if he wants another shot Matt is more than worthy but Ethan won’t decide that. He feels the people should. The fans cheer. Ethan says the answer is No and he and Tyrus lay out Matt. He orders Tyrus to attack Matt. Ethan takes off his blazer and says the closest he will get to the title is when he sees the imprint of the title on his head and lays out Matt with a title shot to the face and stands tall.
Match 3) In a non-title match, Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards defeated Trevor Lee and Brian Myers via Powerbomb/Lungblower on Lee.
Match 4) Tigre Uno defeats Sonjay Dutt when Dutt goes for a Frankensteiner and Tigre rotates over for a pin fall win.
Match 5) In a King of the Mountain Match, PJ Black Chris Mordetzky, Eric Young, Lashley, and Robbie E to become the new King of the Mountain Champion.
- Lashley pinned Eric Young to become eligible.
- PJ Black pinned Chris to become eligible.
- Robbie pinned Black to become eligible.
- Lashley pinned Robbie to send him to the box.
- Mordetzky is now eligible after pinning Eric.
- Eric piledrove Robbie E on the steps and became eligible. Eric became the first person to grab the belt despite everyone else being eligible. Robbie E then needed to be helped to the back.
- Black hit a Springboard onto a ladder while EY was climbing on the other side. Lashley speared EY off the ladder from the top rope.
- PJ hit a 450 knee drop from the middle of the ladder onto Lashley before climbing up the ladder and winning the match.
- Why Robbie E was in the match or the belt was up for grabs without Jarrett is unknown to me. I assume it is explained backstage.
Episode 2 (?)
James Storm cut a promo with Manik and Abyss by his side. He said the Revolution is a family. What they lack in blood they make up in commitment to each other. He has given these two everything their heart desires. His measures might be a little extreme but the rewards are just extreme but then people say he was hard on this guy that used to stand with them. He asks that man to come out. Mahabali Shera comes out to no music at this point. Storm says maybe he was a little too hard on him but he would like him to come into this ring and promises nothing will happen to him. He just wants to talk and he points at Manik and Abyss. Storm says he wants to tell him the reason he was so hard on him was to test his loyalty and see how much he wanted to be in The Revolution. The fans don’t get him like he does. Manik first befriended him and says they were friends. He asks if he could imagine if he teamed with Abyss and how impressive that would be. He says when Khoya came to this country, he did not know English or his way but he let Khoya under his wing and even took him into his home. They even built their first snowman together. Khoya told him that day that he came to this country to provide a great living for his family. Storm said dying ain’t much of a living and that’s why “we” wanted him to come out here and pledge to The Revolution. Khoya took a mic. He said he did The Revolution and did everything for Storm and Storm did nothing for him. Storm tells him he is Khoya but Khoya says his name is Mahabali Shera. He says he is a man and doesn’t get slapped around like trash. He is like the fans here and he likes to smile. He says he loves dance and these people love dance. He asks for his music to be played and he will show that everyone in this building loves to dance. They played his music and he started dancing and went down towards the crowd and did. Shera gets Manik to try the dance until Storm stops him. Storm says to shut it off. He says Khoya is just like these people: you’re nothing but a joke. He said he also likes to font and attacks Storm until Abyss and Manik lay him out. Abyss chokeslams him. Storm and Abyss order Manik to the top rope and Manik hits a Frog Splash. Storm slapped Shera across the face.
At this point Jeremy Borash announces that they are doing a Six Sides of Steel tonight.
Jeff Jarrett with Karen Jarrett came to the ring for a promo. Jeff said before we talk about the next chapter, let’s talk about last week’s show. The whole world has been buzzing from the GFW Grandslam Tour to the Amped TV Tapings to the Supershow that took place here. GFW is about doing things historical so he felt he needed to keep it going. What he is going to do tonight is for the firs time is that a GFW Athlete is going to challenge the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and said it will be the new King of the Mountain Champion PJ Black vs Ethan Carter III. EC3 interrupted and asked Jarrett who he thinks he is. He said this is not GFW, this is TNA: the house the Carters built. He told Jarrett he wants no part of EC3. As far as the title match, nope he is boycotting it. Karen calls Ethan a spoiled brat and she tells Ethan that this man is the founder of GFW and he founded this company and still has ownership stake in it. She mentions about how maybe he is mad that Jarrett got control while Ethan did not. She implies that Ethan was behind some backstage attacks on Drew Galloway last week that were not shown to the live audience. He says there is no sufficient evidence and said he will not defend the title in that match tonight and he is going to leave. Jarrett says Ethan can parade around all he wants. He will go talk to Dixie Carter to talk to the board of directors and there will likely be one of two options: defend or get stripped of the title.
Eric Young came out and said he should be in the main event tonight. Everyone knows the World Title goes through Eric Young. The so called greatest wrestler in the world Kurt Angle is not here because of him so that makes him the new greatest wrestler in the world and the most dangerous man in Impact Wrestling. He is going to take until there is nothing left. Tonight he is taking someone’s life forever. Chris Melendez comes out. Chris says Eric has beaten time after time but Chris never quits or accepts defeat. He didn’t in Baghdad and he will not here. He wants a rematch. Eric said he isn’t sure if it is all of the piledrivers he is hit on Chris, but Eric says he has nothing left to prove to Chris and tells him to leave. Chris says he is standing right here and wants a rematch no matter what. Eric says there is something Chris has that he wants, something to put on his mantle with all of his other trophies. He is a big game hunter here and wants Chris’s prosthetic leg. That is the only way he will wrestle Chris. Chris said he isn’t confused or scared like Eric thinks he just realized that Eric is more crazy than he realized. He said they are on. Eric Young attacked Chris until Chris got the upper hand and cleared Eric out of the ring.

Eli Drake came out for a match and cut a promo first. Drake asked if everyone remembers when he beat Drew Galloway yet at the same time Drew finds himself in a No DQ match tonight and Eli wonders how that happens. Eli questions whether Bully Ray or Drew Galloway got hurt in the back last week and maybe there are thoughts that he had something to do with it. He doesn’t admit it but mentions that he will take Drew out tonight and that is not an insult, that is a fact of life.

He said this new chapter is sort of out of the blue and he once again said he was happy that it did. It’s a place he called home for ten years. He addressed the Bully Ray situation and said he was thankful that she needed help because they have something special here because this relationship is a Win-Win-Win for TNA, GFW, and the fans. With that being said, they have the momentum going but he feels they got to keep it growing. Dixie says the last several weeks have been amazing and called Jeff and his team fantastic to work with.

Karen knows how great he is. She had Bully taken out. She did what she had to do to get Jeff what he deserved. She claims she had “Chris Adonis (Masters” take out Drew and Ray. She did what needed to be done. She hands the mic to Adonis. Jeff said he wanted to thank her publicly for always supporting him but more importantly, she set the wheel in motion. He has taken the joint back over. Tonight starts a Corporate Hostile Takeover. He is trying to build another empire and GFW is right in the center of it. He still has ownership stake.

Jarrett said they are not leaving until they take this place over and he takes back what Dixie stole. She came onto the stage. Jarrett said that they were a very successful team until Dixie stole Jarrett’s power and replaced him with regime after regime that failed miserably. Those days are over, this hostile takeover will be complete. Dixie said Jeff left and she has been here since Day One. She said she did not remove him from power, he removed himself. All of his mistakes and she still stood by him. He did teach her a lot about wrestling but he taught her more about ego. Jarrett said they are staying in this ring and there is nothing they can do. She said he is right due to his ownership stakes. What if she makes him an offer not even he can refuse that will either get rid of her for good. His shares vs her shares. She would consider doing it due to the men and women that have stayed in TNA. She invests in people Jeff, not one person. Jeff mentions her accusing him of being selfish and says she doesn’t know the real Jeff Jarrett. He walks the Earth to serve, not be served. He said the people with him believe in Jeff Jarrett because each of them understand that he will get in the trenches with them and fight. He has his team and said Dixie has no team. Drew Galloway came to the stage with a mic. He said Jeff started this and thought TNA would lay down and die. From him, Dixie, the fans, and anyone who is supported him, he and GFW can go to hell. He is here to stand up for Dixie and if he wants a hostile takeover, he will have to go through all of us. The Wolves join him on the stage. Lashley then joins on the stage. Drew tells them to get the white flag ready because this is Team TNA and they are ready for the war.

Borash said both agreed to put their ownership on the line. The fate of the company hangs in the balance of this one match. There is a briefcase where the ownership will be placed. Dixie said that it is sad that it came down to this: a partnership that could have had such potential and look now at how history is going to write it. This goes down to Jeff’s belief that Dixie removed Jeff and she denies it and said she did not want that to happen. She was wanting to re-write the ending to their story but that is the past and wants to focus on the future: the roster of TNA who chose to stay and fight for these fans. For that, she will always stand behind them but she is at this table because she loves this company with all of her being, the company Jeff started and the company Jeff left but after tonight he will have no part in TNA. Karen calls Dixie delusional. Jeff says tonight is a moment in history. Tonight is about the wrestling business forging forward but Dixie wants to talk about the future and investing in her talent. Jeff brings up Eric Young and asks Dixie who is he investing in and claims Eric is investing in GFW because Eric believes in Jeff, not Dixie despite Dixie being under control. Jeff earned the right to be here by investing. He said when Dixie removed Jeff from power it set all of this in motion and he thanks Karen for setting the wheels in motion for this corporate takeover. Tonight will be the final nail in the coffin because at the end of the day Jeff Jarrett will be on top of two world class organizations. He said it isn’t about him but his wife, his kids, the GFW Amped Army while Dixie is on the outside of the wrestling business looking in. Jeff goes towards the briefcase and Borash said that this briefcase will be in a safe location until they have a winner. Jarrett said he has always wanted to do this and punches out Borash. Karen told Borash to keep the case since they are picking it up later.

Jeff said he is out here for 1 reason because someone who is out here with a title that belongs to him. He asks Bobby Roode to bring him his King of the Mountain Championship. Bobby Roode comes to the ring. Jeff said before Roode gets started that last week GFW captured tag gold. He said that PJ Black came close to wiping Roode’s face in the may until Drew had to help him. Roode said he doesn’t need to remind Jeff that Jeff was the guy that hired him in 2004 that brought him, told Roode that he had all the tools and that Roode had the it factor. He became the longest reigning champion. Jarrett orders him to give him the title. Roode said the belt belongs to him and all the fans here. Jarrett said he is the original King of the Mountain and he still is. He will give Roode one more chance or else. Roode places the belt on the post and tosses his shirt off. Karen says stop and that both of them are being ridiculous. She has five kids and doesn’t need two more to look after. She loves Jeff and he has a week away from having everything he wants. He fights Roode tonight, he jeopardizes all of that. She says that Roode should be a little more concerned with securing his spot since he is a week away from answering to Jarrett. His entire legacy is on the line, does Roode not think that Jarrett will do everything to win. She says Dixie is outnumbered. She wants him to think about that and says she and Jeff are leaving.

He lost, it’s fine and he is standing on his last leg. He won’t let this stop him. He calls out Eric Young right now. Eric Young came to the ring with Chris’s prosthetic leg over his shoulder. He says if this is what an American Hero looks like then he doesn’t want to be a hero. Eric said all of the fans’ heroes fall at his feet. Chris was forced to learn that Eric is the most dangerous man in wrestling. Like Kurt Angle, Chris learned that Eric is crazy and takes acceptance for Kurt’s injury due to his Piledriver and now Chris is in the ring standing on one leg because of Eric. Chris said he is ready to fight, he will not back down and won’t quit. He said good thing Eric has the leg because when he is done with Eric, Eric will need it.

July 30 Spoilers:
{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Xplosion:
Match 1) Micah defeated Jessie Godderz via a Diving Headbutt.
Impact Wrestling
Match 1) For the TNA X-Division Championship, Tigre Uno retained over Kenny King via a springboard frog splash. During the match, they had a man in a Bigfoot costume in the crowd. I assume for a show on Destination America.
They seemed to film a video for Mahabali Shera’s new dance and they encouraged the crowd to dance.
A good portion of the TNA roster was at ringside, pretty much all the faces and a couple heels. Dixie Carter came to the ring. Team TNA came to the ring. She was happy to be here with the best fans in the world. Fans looked at it as a necessity and investment to give these fans what they want to see. She said she invited Jarrett back and he turned his back on everyone here. She introduced all the members of Team TNA to thank all of them. Drew said they all love professional wrestling. It is their passion, these are their fans, and TNA is their platform. He is not trying to be a leader. Every person around this ring, in the ring, in the back, and in the stands are equals. Whenever there is a fight, they will always overcome. They are the warriors of TNA and when they are called upon on they will stand up. Dixie said they are Bound For Glory. She addressed Drew talking about his promo in Scotland inspiring her and called him a great leader on camera and behind the scenes. To the Wolves, in a year and a half since they entered the international scene, they have become the best tag team in the business. Lashley is a destroyer because he is killing it in this ring and in Bellator. He is undefeated in MMA and the only person to ever wrestle and fight in MMA at the same time. To Bram, she says that he is a star. She said at that all five of them will wrestle in a five way match tonight and the winner faces Ethan Carter III at Bound For Glory for the World Heavyweight Championship. She said there is one person no longer a part of the team and calls out Eric Young. She said he turned his back on this company and all of the wrestlers here. Eric said she is going to punish him now. He asked why she didn’t do that when he got rid of Kurt Angle for good or when he took a war hero’s leg. He has got an Ironclad contract with TNA Wrestling. He commended TNA on winning but guess what? He still has an ironclad contract with TNA and there is nothing she can do about it. She said maybe she won’t but she can’t speak for everyone around the ring and at the front of the line is a man who has been at the frontline providing for crazy cowards like him and falls out Chris Melendez. She said he will get a fair fight as everyone around the ring will stay out to make sure it happens and that will start right now.
Match 2) Chris Melendez defeated Eric Young in a Lumberjack Match. Everyone celebrated with Chris and he reattached his prosthetic leg.
Match 3) In a non-title match, Gail Kim defeated Mia Yim via Eat Defeat.
Marti and Rebel attacked Gail after until Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne made the save and chased them to the back. Awesome Kong’s music hit and she walked down to the ring and stared down Gail. Gail posed with the belt.
Match 4) For the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, Ethan Carter III w/Tyrus and Jeff Hardy defeated Rockstar Spud via One Percenter.
After the match, EC3 ordered Tyrus to Heart Punch Spud. He ordered Tyrus to lift up Spud. He then ordered Jeff to end Spud’s career and give Spud a Twist of Fate. Jeff said or what and EC3 said he would fire Jeff. Jeff said no way and slapped him. Ethan then said he will do one better and threatened to end Jeff’s career. Matt ran down and Tyrus attacked Matt. EC3 ordered Tyrus to put him down. He holds Matt. EC3 orders Jeff to hit Matt. Ethan says to him him right now. Matt low blows Tyrus then Jeff punched out EC3. The Hardys stood tall.
The Revolution of James Storm, Abyss, and Manik came to the ring. Storm said he has lost faith in a lot of things the last couple weeks, one of those things being humanity. Storm said without him a lot of people would still be lost. Storm thought that the whole Khoya situation would have been taken care of but it seems that some people can’t get the job done. He says Khoya will face the men standing in this ring unlike others who cannot get the job done or others who will fail him over and over (looking at Manik and Abyss respectively.) Abyss grabs a mic and said he is not one of Storm’s pathetic sheep followers. They have known each other for 17 years. Storm promised him family and togetherness and all Storm gave them was abuse. He won’t stand in anyone’s shadow and called Abyss worthless without him. Abyss said without Storm he is what he has always been The Monster Abyss. Abyss is a TNA Original Original. He was here 13 years ago. He helped build this place from the ground up by spilling his blood sweat and tears and scarring his body. Storm did not make him, Abyss made Abyss. Impact Wrestling made Abyss. All of the fans love to see him kick ass. He will do what he wants when he wants. As for him with Storm, he is done. Abyss walks out. Storm orders him to get back here but Abyss keeps walking. Storm says he will be back because everyone wants to stand by him. He says it is time to get to the point and addresses Khoya. Manik says something to Storm. Storm asks what he said. Manik said his name is Shera. Storm piefaces him and they go through this a couple times. Storm asks Manik one more time what Shera’s name is. Manik says his name is Mahabali Shera. Manik says Storm did not make Shera and he did not make Manik. Manik takes off his mask and leaves. Mahabali Shera comes to the ring and says Storm and The Revolution is over. He offers to fight Storm right now. Storm throws down his cowbell and says let’s go but then says they fight on his time, sorry about your damn luck and leaves. Shera stands tall.
Jeremy Borash confirms that Mahabali Shera vs James Storm will happen tonight.

Ethan Carter III came to the ring with Tyrus. Ethan said he is not a villain, he is the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. He said Jeff Hardy agreed to be his personal assistant. They made a deal and he called Jeff Hardy out who drew on the EC3 face sign. He tells Jeff to beg for his position here. He said if he wants to keep his family and the fans happy he will kiss this world heavyweight championship. He orders Ethan to repeat an apology that EC3 says, saying it doesn’t have to be verbatim but to give it the best shot. Hardy drops to a knee and EC3 puts the title in front of him. Jeff tells Ethan that he quits. Ethan can shove this job, he isn’t working here anymore. Ethan tries to stop the fans chanting for Hardy because he doesn’t work here anymore. Ethan says he is fired. Jeff sings a rendition of “take this job and shove it” and walks out.
Jeremy Borash comes to the ring and says this show is not over. Borash may have been humiliated by Ethan in public and had his head shaved by Ethan but he won’t let him get rid of Jeff Hardy. Borash said Hardy has sold more merchandise and is more popular than Ethan. He can’t get Ethan’s job back but he can call “Aunt D.” Borash said he has in mind to smack Ethan and said he has the power to do something with Tyrus. Borash said at Genesis, Tyrus will step inside the ring with Bigfoot. Bigfoot comes out and Tyrus dips into the crowd. Ethan Carter III ordered Bigfoot to leave. Bigfoot hits a Twist of Fate and unmasks as Matt Hardy and promoted a tag match later tonight with Tyrus and a tag partner vs Matt Hardy and a partner of his own. This entire portion will likely not air to continue TNA’s attempt to troll “Genesis.”
Match 1) Awesome Kong defeated Brooke via Chokeslam.
Match 2) Trevor Lee defeated DJ Z and Tomasso Ciampa in a Triple Threat X-Division Match with a Moonsault Style Fallaway Slam on DJ Z for the pin.
Bobby Roode came to the ring and said he has been coming to this ring for over a decade. He has seen a lot of good times and some not good times but throughout the years he has been referred to as many things. He has been their hero, he has been a selfish bastard, and he has been a champion. Whether you cheered him or booed him he hopes that he has earned the fans’ respect. Roode has his name chanted. He is a TNA and has been since 2004. There’s no doubt that this coming has been under some scrutiny and a black cloud follows it. He has been told TNA will not survive and yet they are still here because of the love and passion of the TNA roster. For every person who has ever been involved they do it because they love wrestling and specifically TNA Wrestling. He has been blessed to be a champion here. A World and Tag Champion and now the King of the Mountain Champion. People have asked what this title means. Roode says it means pro wrestling. It represents passion and he will defend this title with honor and dignity and respect. What better way to kick it off then at Bound For Glory. He will put his KOTM title on the line in an open challenge to defend the title at Bound For Glory. Lashley’s music hits and he comes to the ring.ashley offers Roode a handshake out of respect for him. Lashley came to TNA for two reasons: 1) to compete against the best wrestlers in the world today. He says Doode is at the top of the food chain. 2) He wants to collect whatever he gets his hands on. He mentions that he and Roode have had some great matches together and asks for one more time. At Bound For Glory he wants the King of the Mountain Title and asks Roode what he says. Roode said as Lashley extended his hand to Roode, Doode will do the same and accepts his challenge.

Drew Galloway comes to the ring. Drew said he has looking forward to saying this to him for a long time: shut your mouth. He said there is a reason nobody likes him in the back. He is a self entitled bitch who thinks he is the best in the world when he turned his back on “our company.” Ethan said it is his company and his championship proves he is the best. Drew gives his wrestling speech. He tells Ethan to pray that Drew doesn’t stop talking because talking is the second best thing that he does.

Eric Young came to the ring and took a microphone. He said not only is he the most dangerous man in wrestling, he is the smartest. He sees a locker room full of guys that feel threatened. Eric says he is the alpha. He says he had Chris Melendez bear. Chris had 30 guys run interference and that is the only reason why he lost. Eric said he is not scared of anyone. None of them are brave or man enough to challenge him. Eric is a god. Robbie E comes out and says he has to do him, the Impact Zone, and everyone else a favor: shut the hell up.

The Revolution of James Storm, Abyss, and Manik came to the ring. Storm said he has lost faith in a lot of things the last couple weeks, one of those things being humanity. Storm said without him a lot of people would still be lost. Storm thought that the whole Khoya situation would have been taken care of but it seems that some people can’t get the job done. He says Khoya will face the men standing in this ring unlike others who cannot get the job done or others who will fail him over and over (looking at Manik and Abyss respectively.) Abyss grabs a mic and said he is not one of Storm’s pathetic sheep followers. They have known each other for 17 years. Storm promised him family and togetherness and all Storm gave them was abuse. He won’t stand in anyone’s shadow and called Abyss worthless without him. Abyss said without Storm he is what he has always been The Monster Abyss. Abyss is a TNA Original Original. He was here 13 years ago. He helped build this place from the ground up by spilling his blood sweat and tears and scarring his body. Storm did not make him, Abyss made Abyss. Impact Wrestling made Abyss. All of the fans love to see him kick ass. He will do what he wants when he wants. As for him with Storm, he is done. Abyss walks out. Storm orders him to get back here but Abyss keeps walking. Storm says he will be back because everyone wants to stand by him. He says it is time to get to the point and addresses Khoya. Manik says something to Storm. Storm asks what he said. Manik said his name is Shera. Storm piefaces him and they go through this a couple times. Storm asks Manik one more time what Shera’s name is. Manik says his name is Mahabali Shera. Manik says Storm did not make Shera and he did not make Manik. Manik takes off his mask and leaves. Mahabali Shera comes to the ring and says Storm and The Revolution is over. He offers to fight Storm right now. Storm throws down his cowbell and says let’s go but then says they fight on his time, sorry about your damn luck and leaves. Shera stands tall.
Jeremy Borash confirms that Mahabali Shera vs James Storm will happen tonight.
