Ilona sang the national anthem.

(1) MOOSE (c) (w/Alisha Edwards) vs. LEON SLATER vs. MATT CARDONA vs. VIKINGO vs.  KC NAVARRO vs. SIDNEY AKEEM (Ultimate X Match) — TNA X Division Title match

AJ Francis sat in on commentary, but his mic wasn’t working. Hannifan noted that Moose was afraid of heights. Early on, Moose cleared the ring and tried to reach the belt by standing on a chair. Vikingo knocked him down. There was a sequence of dives to the floor, ending with Akeem doing a moonsault from the top rope to the pile at ringside. Fans chanted “This is awesome!”

Moose powerbombed Akeem onto the pile on the outside. Moose ordered Alisha to climb and try to get the belt. She got to the top but fell off and Moose caught her. Slater dropkicked them. Slater climbed the ropes, but Vikingo dropkicked him off. Vikingo gave Akeem a destroyer on the apron. AJ gave Vikingo the Down Payment. AJ put KC on his shoulders, but Moose gave AJ a spear, then powerbombed KC. Everyone exchanged moves. Slater did an insane Swanton off the top of the structure onto the pile at ringside, which received a “Holy S**t!” chant.

Slater climbed the ropes and unhooked the belt. As he fell to the mat, Moose speared him, Slater dropped the title, and Moose grabbed the belt. Hannifan noted that both of your feet have to touch the mat before you can be declared the winner.

WINNER: Moose in 16:00 to retain the X Division Title.

(D.L.’s Take: Really good match to get the show started. Everyone got their turn in the spotlight. Lots of highlights and the crowd was definitely into everything.)

(2) ASH BY ELEGANCE & HEATHER BY ELEGANCE (c) (w/The Concierge) vs. SPITFIRE (Dani Luna & Jody Threat) vs. TATUM PAXLEY & GIGI DOLIN vs. LASH LEGEND & JAKARA JACKSON — TNA Knockouts Tag Team Title match

Maggie celebrated with the Elegance brand after the match and helped them to the back.

(D.L.’s Take: Another action-packed match. Lash and Jakara seemed to get the best reaction. Dani Luna continues to impress. Looks like the Elegance Brand has a new member).

-Clip of Elijah beating Shane Haste on the countdown show. Elijah cut a backstage promo saying he would be watching Joe Hendry retain his title tonight.

-Gia Miller attempted to interview Steve Maclin, but he just stared ahead, then left.

(4) STEVE MACLIN (c) vs. ERIC YOUNG (w/The Northern Armory) — TNA International Title match

Maclin fought the Northern Armory on the way to the ring. Maclin hit a big dive over the top rope to the floor on Eric and the Armory.

After the match, the Armory retained and beat up Maclin with a chain. Eric hung Maclin from the top rope with a chain.

(D.L.’s Take: Solid match, but it was seemingly just a chapter in this continuing feud. I smell a chain match in our near future.)

WINNER: Mike Santana in 20:00.

(D.L.’s Take: A tremendous brawl. Both wrestlers looked great here, but Santana really shined as the babyface overcoming the odds. If this is the end of the feud, it was a good way to end it.)

-They showed the actual Barbara Crampton in the crowd (they made a mistake earlier).

-Joe Hendry, Frankie Kazarian, and Ethan Page were shown warming up.

-Gia Miller interviewed Indi Hartwell in the crowd and said she was the newest signing to the Knockouts division. Indi said it was a dream come true to be there. She slapped hands with the fans as her new shirt was promoted.

(6) MASHA SLAMOVICH (c) vs. TESSA BLANCHARD — TNA Knockouts Title match

WINNER: Masha Slamovich 15:00 to retain the TNA Knockouts Title.

(D.L.’s Take: This was an intense match and very good. I wouldn’t be surprised if we get a rematch.)

(7) MATT & JEFF HARDY (c) vs. NIC & RYAN NEMETH — TNA World Tag Team Title match

The Hardys took their belts back at the start. Both teams brawled when the bell rang. Fans were solidly behind the Hardys.

The Hardys double teamed Nic. Nic gave Jeff the Famouser for a two count.

The Hardys double teamed Nic again. Matt accidentally interfered with the referee’s two count. Ryan knocked Jeff off the top rope so he couldn’t do the Swanton Bomb. Matt set up a chair, but Ryan backdropped him into it. Nic gave Jeff a low blow behind the referee’s back. Nic gave Jeff a Danger Zone. Ryan tagged in and pinned Jeff to win the match.

WINNERS: Ryan & Nic Nemeth in 13:00 to win the TNA World Tag Team Titles.

(D.L.’s Take: The Hardys may have lost a step but they have been such a fun part of these recent TNA shows, and this was no exception. Fans were invested in this match and the Nemeth brothers made great opponents. This was the right finish to extend the feud. Fans were disappointed to see the Hardys lose, especially to Ryan Nemeth.)

-Santino Marella, Gia Miller, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Dave LaGreca, and Tommy Dreamer made predictions for the main event.

WINNER: Joe Hendry in 14:00 to retain the TNA World Title.
