Trevor Lee vs. DJ Z (c) for the X Division championship
There's back and forth chain wrestling to start off. Trevor Lee uses a kick to Z's leg to try for the advantage but DJ Z responds with a drop kick. Trevor tries a couple different things to take charge, but Z has his number in the early goings.
DJ Z was setting up for a spring board into the ring, but the ref was blocking him checking on Trevor. That gave Lee enough time to hit Z with a big kick when DJ finally tried to jump into the ring. DJ Z falls to the outside and Lee follows up with a kick from the ring apron. This gives the challenge control of the match.
DJ Z takes some punishment for a little bit. Finally, he is able to catch Trevor coming off the middle turnbuckle with a flap jack. He goes up top himself but Lee runs up to meet him... but Lee hits a big Frankensteiner! He then follows up with a big clothesline. He goes for his rolling DDT but Lee rolls outside to avoid it.
The champ follows up with a dive over up the top rope. But as he slides Lee back in the ring, Lee hits a suicide dive of his own! Then when he goes to slide DJ Z in, Z follows up with a third dive onto Lee!
Back in the ring, Trevor Lee hits a flying bodyslam on the champ but only gets a 2 count. Lee then goes for his dead lift German Supplex but DJ Z lands in the electric chair position and hits a reverse rana! After a series of fun moves, Lee finally hits his German Suplex but DJ Z kicks out at 2!
After some more back and forth, Z goes for his ZDT but Trevor Lee counters with double foot stomps! Kick to the head! Only a 2 count!
When Trevor Lee goes to pick up DJ Z, Z hits what looks to be a Canadian Destoryer and follows up with the ZDT for the win!
DJ Z def. Trevor Lee

The Decay come out to their entrance, which is pretty cool, but it would have been nice to add a little to it for the big match.
At the beginning of the match, all three members of Decay spray the mist at Reby!
In the ring, Steve and Matt fight in the ring. Outside, Abyss is working on Brother Nero. Steve and Rosemary try to suplex Matt outside the ring through a table set up on the outside.

Meanwhile, Abyss and Matt fight next to the Universal sign.
Steve spits into the lake and pours it on Jeff -- but then Jeff disappears!
Abyss and Matt fight further out into the grounds.
Jeff reappears with some weird character with goggles and tosses pumpkins at Steve. If that is someone from Jeff's past, I don't know who it is. Rosemary tries to interfere and he puts one of the pumpkins on her head. She spits mist into his face and Steve tells her to go aid Abyss.
Meanwhile, Abyss has the control of Matt. Rosemary shoes up with Janice to finish the job. But a truck pulls up and a random guy gets out and says he's on Team Delete and wants to fight him. So Rosemary kicks him in the nads.

Abyss goes for his patented barbed wire board and tosses it in the ring. Oh make that two. Abyss tries to chokeslam Matt onto one of the board but Matt goes for a low blow. He then grabs the bag of tacks, puts them on the board, and side effects Abyss onto it. He then puts the other board on top... and then delivers a second rope elbow on the top! He goes for the cover- by Rosemary interrupts it!
Rosemary is on the apron looking to mist Matt... but Reby powerbombs her through a table! Nero then reappears, sets up a chair around the neck of Steve, and runs it into the post! They send Steve back in with the chair still around his neck and Matt hits a Twist of Fate!

EC3 vs. Bobby Lashley (c) for the TNA championship
As JB is introducing EC3, Lashley spears him! He then forces JB to finish announcing him! When the ref asks if EC3 is good to go, Carter orders him to ring the bell.
Lashley has control of the challenger early. EC3 fights back with some chops but it's not enough and Bobby continues to work over Carter.
EC3 eventually fights back, including a suicide dive onto Lashley. As Lashley is regrouping on the ramp, Carter runs at him... and Lashley hits a HUGE spinebuster on the entry ramp! He then starts delivering the punches to Carter. Now Lashley starts unloading his brand of domination.
Finally Carter is able to hit a drop kick to Lashley, nail him in the corner, and then follow up with a throw. He hits a cutter (he didn't hit all of it) for a 2 count. However when Carter pushes Lashley into the corner, the champ comes out with a spear! 2 count!
Lashley sets up a torture rack but EC3 reverses it into a choke of his own. Bobby has the power to stand and tosses Carter off.
The men start exchanging moves. Bobby hits a running power slam for a nearfall. He then goes and grabs his world title and tries to nail Carter with it. EC3 ducks and hits the TK3 but is too exhausted to get a cover. When both men are up, it's EC3 who hits a German Suplex... and then a spear of his own! Nearfall!
Outside the ring, on the ring steps, EC3 calls Lashley a piece of shit, gets him in the firemans carry, and then drops him with the TK3 on the steel steps. He follows up with a frog splash in the ring but Lashley kicks out.
But then he misses with the EC3 splash and Lashley hits a spear. But that only gets a nearfall as well. This forces Bobby to get a chair to use. And he starts unloading on Carter. And then locks in the choke... but EC3 isn't yet choked out. He's fighting it!
He uses his momentum to sit and then stand up... and then he fights out of the hold! A series of clotheslines... and a series of German Suplexes a la Kurt Angle! One Percenter! 1-2... kick out!
Now Carter has the steel chair and nails Lashley once with it, puts Lashley on the top turnbuckle... but Lashley pushes him off... Spear from the top rope! Lashley retains!
