Commentators: Josh Matthews, Taz
Knockouts Title: Madison Rayne vs. Gail Kim vs. Taryn Terrell
Announced for Lockdown next week: Havok vs. Awesome Kong and Abyss/James Storm vs. the Hardys for the Tag Team Titles.
Magnus is walking the street and says he and Bram are going to have a drink and talk about their problems.
Magnus goes into a bar and finds Bram.
Josh and Taz discuss what Bram just did.
Jeff Hardy vs. Abyss
Cue Matt Hardy to cane everyone he can but Storm cracks him with a trashcan. The Last Call knocks Matt out but the Wolves come in for another save. Double suicide dives take out the rest of the Revolution but Abyss pours out the tacks. He takes too long with it again though and Jeff sunset bombs him onto the tacks, setting up the Swanton for the pin at 9:06.
We recap the fourway being set up.
Rockstar Spud/Mandrews vs. Ethan Carter III/Tyrus
Rockstar Spud/Mandrews vs. BroMans
Yes his name is still Mandrews because wrestling names make my soul hurt. The BroMans jump Andrews to start and plant him face first, drawing in Spud so the BroMans can hit a double knee to the head. Robbie charges into a boot in the corner and the hot tag brings in Spud for some kicks to the leg and punches to the jaw. A double crotch claw has the BroMans in trouble and he takes off the bowtie, setting up a Dudley Dog on Robbie and a Shooting Star from Andrews is good for the pin at 2:39.
Robbie jumps Spud post match and sets up Andrews/Spud vs. Tyrus in a cage next week.
The announcers preview Lockdown.
TNA World Title: Lashley vs. Austin Aries vs. Bobby Roode vs. MVP
The Ballin Elbow gets two on Roode but Lashley comes back in with a Dominator to MVP, sending him to the floor. Aries nails a top rope ax handle to deck MVP again before Roode puts MVP in the Crossface. This time it’s the champ making the save and a Tower of Doom sends everyone not named MVP down. Cue Eric Young with a chair to Roode, leaving Aries to counter the spear into the Last Chancery. MVP breaks it up but gets sent to the floor with a discus forearm. Aries loads up a dive but gets speared in half to retain Lashley’s title at 13:11.
Rating: B-. Fun match here but I would have liked to see it go on longer. Lashley retaining here is a good sign as they’re clearly going with Lashley vs. the BDC for the next few weeks if not months and that should have some interesting stories. I’m still not as high on MVP as a lot of people are but he did fine here. As usual, Aries stole the show.
The BDC and Young (again, why is he not a member?) comes in post match but Angle and Gunner make the save.
After a break, everyone is still at ringside. Roode challenges Young to a cage match next week and the challenge is accepted because Roode wants to make him bleed. Aries comes in with his briefcase and says he should be on Team Angle next week. Angle accepts and now it’s Lashley’s turn. Kurt asks him to join the team so he doesn’t have to deal with MVP for the rest of his career. Lashley turns him down and walks away to end the show.
Results
Taryn Terrell b. Gail Kim and Madison Rayne – RKO to Rayne
Jeff Hardy b. Abyss – Swanton Bomb
Rockstar Spud/Mandrews b. BroMans
Lashley b. Bobby Roode, Austin Aries and MVP – Spear to Aries
