TNA Impact News & Notes 4/24

- An advertised TNA World Title match did not happen. TNA originally advertised Kurt Angle vs. Eric Young for the TNA Title. However, Austin Aries announced in the opening segment that he was cashing in his Feast or Fired briefcase for a title shot tonight.

When the new main event of Angle vs. Aries for the title was set to occur, EY attacked Aries, then attacked Angle. The show went off the air with EY trying to injure Angle's leg/knee with a figure-four leglock.

- Taryn Terrell retained the Knockouts Title in a No DQ match over Awesome Kong. Taryn's character gave up on trying to beat Kong on her own, as she turned heel and joined forces with the new Dollhouse tandem to form a new heel trio reminiscent of The Beautiful People.

Earlier in the show, The Dollhouse tandem of Jade (Mia Yim) & Marti Belle debuted on Impact. Jade lost via DQ to Laura Dennis (Cherry Bomb), then Jade and Belle attacked ring announcer Christy Hemme because she announced Dennis as the winner.

- In the opening match, Brooke Tessmacher became #1 contender to the Knockouts Title by winning a four-way match over Gail Kim, Angelina Love, and Madison Rayne. This foreshadowed Taryn's heel turn later in the show since Brooke is in a face role.

- Mickie James's advertised announcement was leaving wrestling to be a full-time mom. Mickie made the announcement standing next to Magnus, but James Storm interrupted and conned Mickie into sticking around for one more match. Mickie agreed, drawing concern from Magnus over Storm's real intentions.

- Ethan Carter III's advertised announcement was a presidential-themed campaign to become TNA World champion in 2015. "ECIII in 2015" was interrupted by Mr. Anderson, who brawled with Carter to continue their feud.

- Match Results: (1) Brooke Tessmacher beat Madison Rayne, Angelina Love, and Gail Kim in a four-way #1 contender match to the Knockouts Title. ... (2) Micah (w/The Rising) beat Kenny King (w/The Beat Down Clan). ... (3) Laura Dennis beat Jade (w/Marti Belle) via DQ. ... (4) Davey Richards beat Manik. ... (5) KO champion Taryn Terrell beat Awesome Kong in a No DQ match to retain the Knockouts Title. ... (6) An advertised TNA Title match did not happen.
