Results and notes come courtesy of James Caldwell‘s much more interesting and detailed recap/analysis over PW Torch.
Match Results/Notes
1. Ladder Match: James Storm & Gunner defeated *TNA World Champion* Mangus & Ethan Carter III, grabbing both the World Title shot briefcase and the Tag Team Title shot briefcase (8:56).
- Notes: This was originally Gunner Vs. EC3 for both briefcases but Magnus showed up and interfered, leading to Storm coming out to even the odds. MVP then came out and announced that it was now a tag team match, holla holla holla.
2. Samoa Joe & The Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) defeated Zema Ion & *TNA World Tag Team Champions* The Bro Mans (Robbie E & Jessie Godderz) when Joe made Ion tap to the REAR-NAKED CHOKE (5:33).
3. MVP defeated Rockstar Spud via pinfall with the DRIVE-BY KICK (0:57).
4. Casket Match: Mr. Anderson defeated Bully Ray (12:47).
Segments/Notes
-The show opened with Dixie Carter, Magnus, Ethan Carter III, & Rockstar Spud in the ring. Lots of trash talk until MVP and Samoa Joe emerged. Gunner then showed up and announced he was cashing in his World Title shot next week, with the winner facing Joe at Lockdown. Carter said he may not have the briefcase, announcing that he would face EC3 tonight with the briefcase on the line. MVP one-upped her and said EC3 would also put his Tag Title briefcase on the line. Eventually it was decided this would happen in a ladder match, leading into the first match of the night.
–Abyss, not wearing his mask, called Eric Young out to the ring. Abyss laid into him for what he had done, saying he couldn’t be the monster anymore and needed help. He told Young that they weren’t friends and he needed to find someone who actually understood him so he could sort all of his stuff out/fix EY’s mistake in revealing Abyss and Joseph Park to be the same person.
–Samuel Shaw caught up with Christy Hemme backstage. He was totally cool with keeping things professional but creepily took in her scent when she walked off. Hemme, who ended up staying back to see what he would do, was disgusted and creeped out.
–Chris Sabin and Velvet Sky made their entrances for their match. Sabin called her a skank and avoided a low blow with a cup, but Sky managed to hit him once again after he removed it. Out came an amazonian woman who attacked Sky and whipped her around in a Full Nelson until she passed out. Sabin covered as the woman made a 3-count and they left the ring together. She wasn’t referred to by name on the show but she’s known as Alpha Female in other companies.
–Bobby Roode was escorted out of the building by security after getting into Dixie Carter‘s face earlier in the show.
-A “Willow” vignette aired, which was just Jeff Hardy in his old OMEGA gimmick being creepy and weird. Funnier than it should have been. See for yourself.
–MVP and Dixie Carter met in Dixie’s office at the conclusion of the show. Carter offered to buy out MVP, but he didn’t go for it saying he came here to make TNA a better company. He then proposed a “Lethal Lockdown” match at Lockdown between Team Dixie and Team MVP for total control of TNA. Carter was not having it and MVP said some ominous words before leaving and concluding the episode.
