TNA Impact News & Notes 6/10

The episode carried the "Destination X" theme...

- Kurt Angle opened the show by defeating 148-pound Rockstar Spud in a TNA World Hvt. Title match. Spud, who lost via submission to a grapevined anklelock, cashed in the X Division Title for the Hvt. Title shot.

Angle then beat Austin Aries in the TV main event to retain the TNA World Title. Aries, who lost via submission to a grapevined anklelock, cashed in his Feast or Fired briefcase for a title shot against the Angle-Spud winner.

- After Angle retained the TNA Title for the second time, Ethan Carter III attacked Angle and declared himself the next contender to the TNA World Title. A preview for next week's Impact then showed Angle and ECIII signing a contract for a TNA Title match.

- A series of matches determined who will compete for the vacant X Division Title at a later time. Winners were Low Ki, Tigre Uno, and Grado. Although, Grado's qualifying match against Kenny King and Cruz never officially started because TNA edited out the opening bell.

- The Knockouts feud of the show centered on KO champion Taryn Terrell and Brooke Tessmacher, with Awesome Kong involved by taking out Dollhouse members Jade and Marti Belle.

- Crimson randomly returned to TNA television to take a beating and loss against Bram.

- Josh Mathews was joined by "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero on studio commentary for the second consecutive week.

During the show, Mathews and Dinero attempted an on-camera explanation for Mickie James being bumped onto train tracks by James Storm last week on Impact. Mathews said Mickie "was not physically harmed," but she was emotionally hurt. Mathews advertised Magnus appearing on next week's Impact to address the situation.
