Venue: The Impact Zone (Orlando, FL)
Commentators: Mike Tenay & Taz
A week after helping Team MVP secure the win, and the company, at Lockdown Bully Ray had something to say this week on IMPACT Wrestling…but not before getting attacked by Bobby Roode earlier in the show. Also on the show new TNA Knockout Brittany (the former Santana Garrett) debuted, X-Division Champion Sanada teamed with Tigre Uno to take on The Bro Mans in non-title action, Mr. Anderson faced Samuel Shaw in a street fight, and in the main event Willow emerged to take on Rockstar Spud.
Results and notes come from James Caldwell‘s much more interesting and detailed recap/analysis over at PWTorch.
MATCH RESULTS/NOTES
1. Abyss defeated Samoa Joe via DQ when Eric Young interfered (9:33).
- Later in the Show: Joe and EY caught up with one another backstage. EY said what happened to Abyss is his fault and it was his own responsibility to take care of it.
2. Brittany defeated Gail Kim [w/ Lei’D Tapa] via pinfall (2:05).
- Post-Match: Kim berated Tapa until Tapa shoved her. Kim slapped her back, and Tapa attacked until they were broken up by security.
3. Non-Title Match: *TNA X-Division Champion* Sanada & Tigre Uno defeated *TNA Tag Team Champions* The Bro Mans (Robbie E & Jessie Godderz) [w/ DJ Zema Ion] when Sanada pinned Robbie E with a moonsault (2:46).
- Before the Match: The Great Muta was shown backstage giving Sanada advice and saying he was representing the Japanese wrestling industry.
4. Street Fight: Mr. Anderson defeated Samuel Shaw via pinfall with the MIC CHECK (3:54).
- Earlier in the Show: Shaw revealed that he was carrying around a mannequin to represent Christy Hemme.
- Notes: Anderson kissed the mannequin and threw it at Shaw, who freaked and left himself open to eat the Mic Check for the loss.
5. Willow defeated Rockstar Spud via DQ when Willow hit Spud with his umbrella (2:25).
- Post-Match: Willow grabbed a ladder, beat Spud up with it, then hit a splash from the top to finish Dixie’s minion off. Bully Ray then made his way past Willow for the final segment of the show.
SEGMENTS/NOTES
-New majority owner MVP opened the show, saying Dixieland was now closed and went through his “Motivate, Validate, Participate” plan going forward because those are also his initials! World Champ Magnus made his way out and put over the “Reign of Magnus” still going on, saying that while Carter fumbled control of TNA he retained the World Title thanks to his new associate. He introduced Abyss out to the ring, new mask and all. He’s now motivated by money as well as destruction. Samoa Joe was then called out to the ring and a match between he and Abyss abruptly started.
–Bully Ray arrived backstage, only to beaten up by Ethan Carter III, Rockstar Spud, The Bro Mans, and Zema Ion. Spud choked Ray with his own chain as Bobby Roode yelled at him, saying no one screws with him. Ray would brush himself off later and continue on.
–A “Thank You Dixie” celebration was held in-ring by Rockstar Spud and Ethan Carter III, giant photo of Dixie Carter and everything sitting on an easel. Spud spoke on things, choking back tears, and ran a “Thank You Dixie” propaganda video. MVP came out and said it was time for Spud to fulfill his obligations as a wrestler, which Spud protested because he’s so tiny. MVP eventually talked some confidence into him then announced that Spud would face Willow tonight. Carter laughed so MVP introduced his opponent for next week…Bobby Lashley, who is now signed with the company. Lashley smashed the Dixie photo over Spud, then stared Carter down to end the segment.
-The returning Angelina Love made her way out to the ring, calling out her former running buddy Velvet Sky. Love called for a Beautiful People reunion but Sky said she needed more time to think about it, as she wanted to move forward instead of go backwards.
–Bully Ray made his way out immediately following the main event for the closing segment. Ray said he did what he did at Lockdown to save Bobby Roode from himself, preventing another “Dixie Carter”. Roode made his way out and a brawl ensued, ending with Ray powerbombing Roode through a table in the center of the ring. Ray stood over Roode to conclude the episode.
