Commentator: Josh Matthews
The opening video hypes this up as TKO: A Night of Knockouts.
Gail Kim vs. Angelina Love vs. Brooke vs. Madison Rayne
Micah vs. Kenny King
The Rising runs in but gets beaten down, including some shots with a pipe.
Post break, Galloway wants Low Ki next week in a steel pipe on a pole.
Jade vs. Laura Dennis
Dennis is better known as indy wrestler Cherry Bomb while Jade is Mia Yim as one half of the Dollhouse. She and Marti Belle skip to the ring to piano music and dance with each other in the ring. Laura kicks her in the side of the head to start as a Cherry Bomb chant starts up. Jade gets more fired up and pounds Laura in the head for two. Marti hands Jade something that looked like a jawbreaker, which seems to fire Jade up even more as she hits Laura in the head. Marti trips Laura up and gets ejected so she nails the referee and helps with a double team on Laura for the DQ at 4:03.
Davey Richards vs. Manik
In a case of bad editing, Davey is in the ring three seconds after he was shown walking to the ring and Manik gets an entrance. Feeling out process to start with Davey nailing a dropkick but charging into a hurricanrana with Manik going into a cross armbreaker. A snap suplex into a belly to back puts Richards down for two and we hit the chinlock. Manik puts on another armbreaker over the ropes but dives into a kick to the chest. The double stomp misses so Davey throws him into the air for a kick to the chest, setting up Creeping Death for the pin at 5:40.
Post match the Revolution comes out to beat on Davey but the Hardys make the save, likely setting up a six man.
Ethan Carter says he debuts a new campaign tonight.
Video on Taryn Terrell wanting to fight Awesome Kong.
Knockouts Title: Awesome Kong vs. Taryn Terrell
Aries is coming to the ring and runs into Young as he leaves. Austin apologizes and offers Eric the first shot.
TNA World Title: Austin Aries vs. Kurt Angle
Overall Rating: B. Other than the Eric Young stuff (more on that later), I really liked this show. The Dollhouse is an interesting idea and a fresh direction for the division and the focus on the Knockouts held up WAY better than I was expecting. As I said earlier, just adding some character to their matches helps it so much and gives you something to cheer for. I also dug the idea of Storm going after the family unit for whatever reason. Him not having the Revolution around him makes him so much more enjoyable too.
