-Commentators: Tom Hannifan, Matthew Rehwoldt

-Highlights from Against All Odds.

-Mike Santana was shown arriving to the arena earlier today. Santino Marella stopped him from coming in and told him that he was suspended for two weeks. Santino said he would give Santana the match he wanted against First Class if he left. Santana said he respected Santino and left because he wanted the match. Robert Stone tried to sneak into the building but was thrown out by security.

-“Cross the Line” open.

-Santino came to the ring to big cheers. He talked about his win over Robert Stone at Against All Odds, and he thanked the fans. He said that Moose would face Leon Slater at Slammiversary for the X Division Title. He said that next week, they would have a Champions Challenge match. Santino also announced an 8-4-1 Match with the Knockouts for tonight. He introduced the IInspiration, who entered the ring. [c]

(1) THE IINSPIRATION (Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee) vs. BRITTNIE BROOKS & MISSA KATE

The Iinspiration took the early part of the match with double team moves. The fans reacted to them posing. The heels took over for awhile, but Cassie Lee made the hot tag and made a comeback. The Iinspiration used their finisher, and Cassie got the pin on Kate.

WINNERS: The IInspiration in 5:00.

(D.L.’s Take: Just a way to re-introduce the Iinspiration to the audience and get them a win. Fans seemed pleased to have them back.)

-Hardys promo. Matt said tonight would start their road back to the tag team titles. He said they would prove they are the greatest team of all-time. Jeff agreed. [c]

-Clip of First Class showing up on this week’s NXT and being interrupted by Elijah.

-First Class Penthouse segment. They promoted their new t-shirts. AJ Francis offered money to the kid who could do the best “Money, money, money.” A kid was brought onstage and said it, but AJ didn’t give him the money. Fans booed. AJ brought out Trick Williams.

AJ said he turned his back on TNA because Trick was the one who beat Joe Hendry. Trick said that First Class was alright with him. AJ said that First Class needed gold too. He vowed to beat the Hardys tonight to become the number one contenders for the tag team titles. They gave a toast to Trick reigning forever.

The System backstage promo. They talked to Jason Hotch and said that if he took out Leon Slater tonight, there might be a spot for him in the System. Mustafa Ali and his group walked in and they had a brief staredown before walking off. The System had a confrontation with Matt Cardona. After the System walked off, Cardona and Brian Myers stared at each other.

-The Injury Report focused on Heather By Elegance, Tessa Blanchard, and Jason Hotch. [c]

(2) LEON SLATER vs. JASON HOTCH (w/John Skyler)

Slater had an inset promo during his ring entrance. Slater nailed Hotch with a dropkick early. Hotch went on offense and scored some two counts. A “We Want Truth” chant broke out. Slater made a comeback with flashy offense. Hotch gave Slater a rolling neckbreaker for a two count. Slater gave Hotch a Blue Thunder Bomb. Fans chanted for Slater. Hotch booted Slater into the ring post, then stomped him. Fans chanted “This is awesome!” Slater gave Hotch a leg lariat and 450 splash for the pin.

WINNER: Leon Slater in 8:00.

(D.L.’s Take: These two worked well together. A good win for Slater as his X Division Title match approaches. It’s good to see him as a focus and slowly moving up the card. Hotch has lots of potential as a singles competitor.)

-Gia Miller interviewed Tessa Blanchard about the 8-4-1 Match. Tessa mocked Gia for missing work and said that her replacement was better. Tessa vowed to win and become the number one contender. She continued to insult Gia. She said the division needed a reminder of who built it. [c]

(3) ROSEMARY & DANI LUNA & TESSA BLANCHARD (w/Victoria Crawford) & XIA BROOKSIDE vs. JODY THREAT & TASHA STEELZ & KILLER KELLY & INDI HARTWELL

This was an 8-4-1 match, meaning that it starts four against four, then the winning team faces each other to determine a winner. The winner will be the number one contender for the Knockouts Title. Indi was introduced last and got the biggest reaction coming out. Luna and Steelz started the match. Steelz quickly tagged in Threat. The Spitfire members faced off against each other and traded the advantage.

Steelz and Xia faced off and traded offense. Xia tagged in Rosemary (who she faced in a Monster’s Ball match last week) and Rosemary attacked her. Kelly tagged in and faced off with Rosemary. When Blanchard tagged in, she knocked Indi off the apron. Fans cheered when Indi tagged in and went after Rosemary. Luna and Kelly traded strikes. The match broke down and everyone traded moves. Indi pinned Rosemary after delivering her finisher. [c]

In the next part of the match, Threat, Kelly, Steelz, and Indi faced off. All the wrestlers had a chance to shine and be on offense. Indi and Threat teamed up to take on Steelz and Kelly. Fans chanted “Let’s go, Indi!” Indi hit her finisher on Steelz, but Kelly pulled Indi off and stole the pin.

WINNER: Killer Kelly in 18:00

(D.L.’s Take: This was entertaining and did an effective job of showcasing some of the underutilized talent of the Knockouts division. The division is in a rebuilding phase, but it looks like they have some really good talent that could rise up and become centerpieces of the division. Masha vs. Kelly has a built-in story and should be good.)

-Backstage, Gia approached Masha and asked her about facing Kelly for the title. Masha said it was meant to be, and she knows Kelly better than she knows herself. She said she would put Kelly back in her place, on her knees, being her b***h. [c]

-Steve Maclin cut a promo talking about his match against Mance Warner. He said it was a tough match with Warner, but he is still standing as champion. He talked about being in the Champions Challenge match next week. He addressed Trick Williams and said he wouldn’t be afraid to drop him with a KIA.

-Mance Warner and Steph DeLander walked to the stage. Steph said that Mance’s match against Maclin was a robbery. She said it was their era now. They kissed, but Warner was about to go after a production assistant. Security and Tommy Dreamer came out. Dreamer and Warner started fighting. Warner suplexed Dreamer on the stage. Warner booted Dreamer. Warner and Steph finally left. [c]

-Sami Callihan was cutting a promo about Trick Williams, when he was interrupted by Eric Young and the Northern Armory. Young listed some of the legendary TNA champions. Sami said that guys like he and Eric were the heart and soul of TNA. He said he may not agree with Eric, but he respected him and will see him next week. Eric punched him and said, “You made your bed!”

(4) MATT & JEFF HARDY vs. FIRST CLASS (AJ Francis & KC Navarro)

The Hardys came out to their usual huge reaction. AJ charged them at the bell, but the Hardys clotheslined him over the top rope. The Hardys had the early advantage on KC. The Hardys sent AJ back out of the ring. [c]

The Hardys continued to have the advantage on KC. Jeff argued on the outside with AJ, which allowed KC to catch Jeff with a dive to the outside. First Class continued on offense. Fans chanted “We Want Tables!” Jeff hit AJ with a Twist of Fate and made the hot tag to Matt. Matt ran wild on AJ. Matt hit the Side Effect on AJ for a two count. All of a sudden, Trick Williams ran in and attacked Matt to cause a DQ. Joe Hendry ran in for a huge pop to make the save. The System ran in also. Elijah and Leon Slater ran in too and everyone brawled. Slater hit a big dive to the outside on the pile. The babyfaces celebrated in the ring to close the show.

WINNERS: Matt & Jeff Hardy by DQ in 12:00.

(D.L.’s Take: A crowd-pleasing match. First Class continues on the rise to become credible heels. The Hardys remain huge favorites. The DQ ending was lame, but the run-ins at the end energized the crowd and ended the show on a fun note.)
