Impact stuck around in Dallas after Saturday night’s Hard To Kill PPV, filming material for future episodes of their weekly AXS show.
The Jan. 9 taping featured more involvement from the Ring of Honor talent who invaded the night before — and one of that on-hiatus promotion’s championships changing hands. A wrestler most fans associate with WWE’s Ruthless Aggression Era, and TNA Hall of Famer Kurt Angle, also made his debut.

- Tasha Steelz def. Chelsea Green. Mickie James was Hannifan’s announce partner for this, and fought with Steelz when the Ultimate X winner called her out after the match. The Knockouts champ & Royal Rumble entrant was getting worked over by Steelz & Savannah Evans before Green came to her aid.

Kanellis promo-ed from the balcony, saying there was no more honor. Edwards responded, saying Impact wouldn’t be disrespected.
Sound like a good way to continue the next forbidden door angle?
