TNA taped next week's Impact Wrestling episode tonight from Norfolk, Virginia. Here are the results.
* Impact opens with an in-ring segment with Bad Influence & Bobby Roode in the ring. Roode congratulates Bully on his World Title win but he now has a target on his chest. James Storm & Gunner interrupt, setting up a tag match.
* Bobby Roode & Kazarian defeated James Storm and Gunner.
* Manik defeated Sonjay Dutt.
* Joseph Park defeated Chris Daniels, Jay Bradley & Hernandez in a street fight.
* Bully comes out w/ Tito Ortiz who's now a member of Aces & 8s. They tout Bully Ray's victory from last week. Out comes Brooke Tessmacher and she makes out with Bully Ray. Bully says he has the 'hot Brooke' now.
* Gail Kim defeated ODB.
* AJ Styles is revealed as the 5th man on Main Event Mafia's team. AJ comes out to his old theme. Crowd goes nuts.
* Devon, Brisco, Bischoff, Anderson & Knux vs The Main Event Mafia. Styles got the pin on Devon after connecting with a Styles Clash. Devon must leave TNA now. "Thank you Devon" chants break out after the match. He posed for the crowd. This concluded the tapings.

First off, come on Tessmacher wear assless chaps.
Secondly, they already pulled the trigger on AJ going back to being the Phenomenal One? Why not save that for Bound For Glory? Please don't let this mean he's not winning the BFG series.

Looks like a good show. I actually suggested a couple weeks back that TNA do the AJ thing. I'm glad they did it that way.
Mega push of Bad Influences is getting old already though. |

It must really suck to be a hot wrestling chick because eventually you're going to have to make out with some goofy looking dudes.

I'm surprised they had Styles change his character back so soon. I was thinking he would do it after winning the title at BFG. I wonder what the explanation will be. It does look like they are setting up Bully/Styles at BFG, unless this was a red herring.
ANd looks like they have changed the X-Division rules back to 1-on-1 based on that match result. Good news.

Happy to see that Bad Influence are getting the big push that they deserve.

Heel Brooke? Classic AJ? An X-Division match that's one on one?
Huh, this one might be worth watching.
Incidentally another set of spoilers state that Daniels invites Aries to join his group in the opening segment and Austin seemingly coming out to help him in the four way, but instead attacked him making the latter face...?

I imagine that they'll have some backstage segments with the MEM trying to convince AJ that TNA needs him. |

...No. No, that AJ spoiler is stupid. They spend all this time building up the Lone Wolf angle and then they just throw it away because Kurt got drunk? I don't pull this out often but that is 100% LOLTNA.

Keep in mind that one of the things that made AJ so bitter was the accusations of being a drug addict and/or alcoholic, so maybe they can tie in the Angle deal to it. Truth be told I have no problem with them hotshotting this storyline. Reality check: AJ wasn't over doing his anti hero shtick. He wasn't getting bad boy cool heat. He wasn't booed. He was just...there. Best get that out of the way and let him have the full support of the fans as the BFG Series hits a crescendo.

So what happened to Sabin? Is he now dropped from the world title scene?

So Tarryn is pregnant and they go & turn one of their other face KO's heel. Awesome.
Sorry TNA, but that AJ Stuff is stupid as all hell. Same can be said for the Tito turn. I don't get how this cartoony wrestling angle will help build their MMA match unless it's a "hammer on a pole in a cage match". They should of just had the two kept apart minus a few stare-downs.
I can imagine Bellator recapping Rampage being hit in the head by a hammer all the way up to the fight; until right after when Tito & Rampage are friends again like nothing happened.

I think they will use him in the Aces and Eights storyline (maybe join MEM since he is a former world champion now?) to give him something to do at BFG, but yeah, he is a man without a program at this point. He can't go back to the X-Division like nothing happened. He is in a weird spot now. |

Personally here's how I would have done this. {Spoiler}{The right way}The Mafia starts the match 4 on 5 they're all fighting valiantly but are losing quite obviously when all seems lost AJ Styles walks down the ramp stands on the apron and reaches out for a tag to the legal man, he makes the tag and Styles scores the fall over Devon. When the Mafia goes to celebrate with AJ he walks out on them, explaining his actions as "If Bully's still the champion by Bound for Glory Aces & Eights will almost certainly be involved, this means one less thing to worry about."
But unfortunately that would make sense, and TNA can't seem to do that. |

I don't see how it's a "lol@tna" moment except for the fact people want to jump all over TNA.
The way I see it, AJ turned his back on TNA but still loved TNA. TNA is still HIS company the company HE helped build the company that made him famous. He still loves that company.
Aces and Eights are trying to destroy the company he helped build up. TNA is at a low point and the Main Event Mafia need a guy to help them save TNA. Enter AJ Styles.
Now we get AJ tearing through Aces and Eights before finally ending the group at TNA Bound For Glory.
