Results

Recap of the Iron Man match from last week.

The Broken Hardys open the show, with Jeff carrying his green briefcase. Matt reminds us that the Seven Deities have showed him endless journey of conquest and challenges. That they are mandated to be the greatest tag team of all space and all of time. And the Seven Deities will supply them with a teleportation mechanism so they can win all of the tag team gold! He calls out the Bucks of Youth, Day of New, and Family of Wyatt not having the guts to show up to Total Nonstop Deletion and if they won’t come to the Hardys, the Hardys will go to them.

Jeff says he’s challenging Bobby Lashley for the world title!

Lashley’s music plays (new music me thinks). The Destroyer says after beating Eddie last week, he is ready for war. When Bobby makes a comment about Matt being out to help steal that title, Jeff sends his brother to the back to go this alone.

Jeff Hardy vs. Bobby Lashley (c) for the TNA title

Josh Mathews explains that you won’t see a tag match tonight because Jeff Hardy is already in action.

Jeff takes his time at first but Lashley soon takes control of Brother Nero. Jeff is able to sidestep a charging Lashley in the corner and get some offense in, including a drop kick.

He is able to keep Lashley on the defensive with a series of drop kicks. The fight spills out to the floor as Nero hits Lashley with a double ax handle. He then sets up the ring steps for some more offense. Jeff first smacks Lashley’s head into the ring apron and the guardrail multiple times to keep the champ staggered.

Before he is able to use the steps, Lashley fights back and powerbombs Jeff on the steel steps!

Now the champ is in control, smacking the challengers head into the steps as TNA goes to break.

When Impact returns, Lashley is picking apart Jeff in the ring but Jeff soon tries to fight back. He delivers a forearm, reverse atomic drop, and his drop kick combo for a nearfall. He goes for a Twist of Fate and hits it. Jeff slowly climbs to the top for the Swanton... and hits it! 1-2-kick out!

Jeff climbs back up to the top rope and hits a second Swanton! 1-2-foot on the rope!

Lashley slides outside and Jeff follows him and tosses him into the ring steps. He then runs up the ring steps and throws his body at Lashley who’s up against the guardrail! Jeff then rolls in the ring and flips the top rope to land on Lashley but Bobby rolled out of the way and Jeff just finds the floor.

The champ tosses Nero into the ring and sets up for the spear... and hits it! 1-2-3.

Can’t beat Lashley.

Lashley def. Jeff Hardy to retain his TNA title

As Lashley is celebrating in the ring, Eddie Edwards’ music plays and the former champ walks out. He comes to the ring and grabs a mic to congratulate the champ. Lashley tells him that he doesn’t need his thank yous because he already knows how good he is. So what does he want?

Eddie asks for his rematch (he keeps calling Bobby “Triple B”). Lashley asks what the nick name is and Eddie says “Bitch Boy Bobby.” The fans chant it despite it being stupid. Lashley isn’t happy. He tells Eddie he thinks everything is a joke but the only joke was the fact Eddie was a champ.

The champ threatens to say no, but says he’ll give him the shot. He tells Eddie has has one chance but that’s it. No more shots after that. Edwards says that’s all he needs.

Backstage, Tyrus and Eli Drake are asked who they plan on challenging. Tyrus doesn’t say, but he does say they plan on shocking the world.

They show Brandi Rhodes backstage, confronted once again by Rosemary. Brandi tells her that this isn’t going to happen. Rosemary touches Rhodes’ face to silence her (which Brandi was not happy about) and tells her that they think she has much potential and just needs guidance. Once again, Brandi denies her and asks Rosemary just to leave her alone. Rosemary tells her that “we decide when this is over, not you.”

Aron Rex is being driven around by Rockstar Spud backstage. Spud rolls out a carpet for Rex and they walk off.

Sienna (with Maria) vs. Brooke

Brooke runs in the ring and takes the fight immediatley to Sienna. She goes for a suplex but Sienna pushes her off. She charges her in the corner but Brooke dodges and face plants Sienna for a nearfall.

Maria tries to get involved and Brooke chases her around the ring. But when she gets back into the ring, Sienna lays her out with a clothesline. Sienna has the advantage.

Sienna tosses Brooke outside and distracts the ref so Maria can get some boots in. Back in the ring, Maria distracted Earl Hebner from the apron and Sienna chokes her with a piece of fabric (I think).

Brooke fights out of the AK 47 and starts delivering some forearms to Sienna. Brooke locks in a chancery. Sienna fights out but Brooke hits a neckbreaker. She goes up to the top rope, but while the ref is distracted, Maria shoves her.

Sienna hits the Silencer for the win.

Maria gets in the face of Brooke while she’s down.

Backstage, James Storm says soon everyone will know the plan for the DCC.

They show a video of Aron Rex getting his makeup put on. Spud yells at the makeup artist as Rex covers his ears because he hates confrontation. Rockstar tells Rex his schedule for the day.

The DCC are in the ring to reveal their plan for their briefcase. Storm challenges Decay to a Falls Count Anywhere match.

Decay vs. DCC in a Falls Count Anywhere match

Rosemary is out with Decay, but Mathews makes it sound like she’s not part of the match, so this appears to be a 3 on 2 match.

There’s a lot of brawling outside early.

Bram sets up a tablet between the apron and the guard rail. Storm tries to powerbomb Steve through but he escapes before they can do it.

Abyss is double teamed in the crowd by Bram and Storm. He fights back against them as Kingston runs in. Steve climbs into the crowd and drops off the rail onto all members of DCC. He goes for a cover on one of the DCC but only gets a 2 count.

Abyss grabs Kingston and takes him back to the ring, leaving the others in the crowd for now. Abyss grabs the tacks and Steve grabs the barbed wire board. Abyss tries to chokelsam Kingston into the barbed wire, but Kingston goes low to escape. He goes to the top rope but Rosemary mists him! Then Abyss chokeslams him into the tacks!

Steve goes for the cover but Storm breaks it up! Abyss gets a Lung Blower from Storm. Storm also lays out Steve. Abyss tries to chokeslam Storm through the barbed wire but Bram hits him with a bottle and Storm superkicks him into the barbed wire.

After a series built around the table, Bram piledrives Steve through the table and Storm picks up the pinfall.

They wish him congratulations and Sutter said “Oh for surviving that horrible date with Laurel.” Maria says she hears wedding bells because he’s going to propose to Laurel. And if he doesn’t, he knows what will happen to Allie. Bennett tells Sutter he’s going to throw him the biggest bachelor party of all time.

Grand Champion Drew Galloway makes his way to the ring. He says that he said he’s going to make the Grand Championship bigger than the TNA title and he knows that people aren’t 100% sold on this title yet. And it’s because he was injured when it was initially introduced. He says he’ll put this title on the line in any company in any country.

Moose’s music plays. From the entryway, he says that Drew earned himself an ass whooping after last week. He gets into the ring and Drew slides out. He says that he said that this title needs something new, not another Moose/Drew match. He already has an opponent who he’s giving a chance.

It’s some dude named Rob Ryson instead!

Drew Galloway (c) vs. Rob Ryson for the Grand Championship

Round One: Drew slaps the guy and then guy comes out with fists. But then Galloway nails him with a big boot and then unloads some punches on the man. Galloway is just kicking this guy’s ass.

Ryson gets a punch in but gets a piledriver for his troubles. Then a Future Shock. 1-2-3.

EC3 is in this regular clothes which is great. Tyrus makes a comment that he says Carter walking with a walker earlier. Carter is walking a bit gingerly.

Carter takes off his shirt to show a nasty bruise on his right size. Straight nasty.
