We're back in the Impact Zone opening with Lashley. Bobby says he has a problem when someone comes into his company and sticks their nose in his business because he should currently be the X Division championship. He says he'll beat Eddie Edwards tonight in the steel cage and win that title. But he wants to deal with Moose. He mocks Moose's football background. He calls the newcomer out.

Lashley gets the Miracle instead. Mike Bennett says he's sick and tired of TNA screwing him over and Lashley has something around his waste that belongs to him. He will win the Bound for Glory Playoffs and win that title because of this man - Moose's music plays and he comes out.Moose slowly makes his way to the ring... but Eddie Edwards runs down and attacks him from behind.

The turns into a 2 on 2 brawl between Moose/Bennett and Lashley/Edwards. Refs eventually break it up and Dixie Carter appears on the Titantron. She tells Edwards and Lashley to go focus on their cage match because she assures there will be a winner. If Moose or Bennett gets involved, the Miracle is fired on the spot. Bennett has his BFG Playoff match now and Moose is barred from ringside.

Jeff Hardy vs. Mike Bennett

Jeff Hardy's music plays, but Broken Matt says the broken mule doesn't deserve to compete in the series. However, because he is a kind man, he'll allow Brother Nero to appear.

They cut to the footage of the bike jump... and when he goes for the jump he immediately falls off before the jump is even made. Matt laughs at him, telling him he knew he couldn't do it.

Back in the Impact Zone, Jeff limps out to his new music, which is awesome. It's a poor quality song all about him being obsolete.

The match itself was very one-sided with Jeff selling his motorbike injury. Mike Bennet wins with a cutter.

EC3/Drew Galloway segment

Prior to the match, he cuts a promo. He says he's often asked why he is there. He says it's the same reason everyone in the back is - it's the best. And to be the best, he needs to hold the World Heavyweight title. And he'll win the Series to become champion.

Drew Galloway interrupts. The men stare each other down in the middle of the ring. He says that there's one thing that he and Carter won't agree on: Which is better. He hints that his last name is Carter and EC3 needed TNA as a last chance to succeed and to his credit he did. But TNA came to Drew Galloway because they needed him to grow.

Drew says they'll probably meet in the finals but maybe they should just fight now. EC3 is OK with that until Eli Drakes music plays. He rants about how there are two dummies in the ring. He tells Drew Galloway to beat it so he can have his match.

EC3 vs Eli Drake

The ended up being a really good match. EC3 controlled it early but Drake founding an opening to take control. Carter fought back and these two went back and forth for awhile. Drake tried to go for his Blunt Force Trauma finish but Carter reverses it into a roll up for the 1-2-3.
