We open with a recap of the Bound For Glory Playoff.
Eli Drake is ready to make James Storm cry in his beer.
We get another clip of Rosemary going insane and trying to get Bram to go to the barn.
King of the Mountain Title: Eli Drake vs. James Storm
Maria gives Gail Kim a match with Allie as part of her path to a Knockouts Title match.
Bram and Rosemary are in the barn with Rosemary getting very close to him.
Gail Kim vs. Allie
Allie looks terrified. Actually hang on as Maria comes out make it a handicap match.
Gail Kim vs. Allie/Sienna
Matt Hardy accuses Jeff Hardy of getting hurt and costing them the Tag Team Titles. True actually. Tonight, Matt is going to tell a story so Jeff can learn what to do next.
Next week: Lashley vs. Storm, winner take all.
Jeff Hardy/Matt Hardy vs. JT Dunn/Chuck Taylor
Matt is staying on the floor to make this a handicap match. Taylor is a big name from the independents, primarily in Chikara. Dunn starts for the team but gets caught with a slingshot dropkick in the corner. The fans chant for Jeff as Matt keeps running his mouth on a mic about how Brother Nero is an obsolete mule.
Taylor comes in with an elbow drop and a seated abdominal stretch as Matt pulls a fan over the barricade and bites him to draw some blood. Jeff makes his comeback but JT blocks the Twist of Fate. Matt: “YOU BETTER NOT LOSE YOU DELETED OBSOLETE MULE!” Matt gets in the ring to block the Swanton but Jeff jumps over Matt anyway, only to take a Twist of Fate. With Jeff down, Matt tags himself in and pins Dunn at 6:24.
Grado/Mahabali Shera vs. Tribunal/Al Snow
Rosemary is still crazy. Bram tries to leave the barn but Rosemary holds him in place. He says everyone has had their heart broken and she needs to get over it. Rosemary starts screaming and Decay comes in to knock Bram out. Bram is thrown into the trunk of a car and Decay drives off, laughing maniacally along the way.

Bennett is ready for Carter.
Carter is ready for Bennett and says Mike can bring the whole wilderness to face him.
Tyrus is ready to fix your problems.
Bound For Glory Playoff Final: Mike Bennett vs. Ethan Carter III
Maria gets on the apron for a failed distraction so both guys head up top with a super cutter getting two on Ethan. More yelling earns Maria an ejection and the distraction means the 1%er only gets two. Cue Moose but Eddie Edwards takes him out, leaving Bennett to hit the MIP for two of his own. Both finishers are countered again until the 1%er hits again to give Ethan the title shot at 17:25.
