MAIN SHOW
(1) MOOSE (c) vs. KUSHIDA — TNA X Division Title match
Moose took the early part of the match using power moves. Kushida fought back and worked on Moose’s arm. Kushida got some near falls and a near submission, but Moose got the pin after a spear.
WINNER: Moose in 11:00.
(2) THE RASCALZ (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz) vs. PCO & SAMI CALLIHAN vs. JAKE SOMETHING
Hammerstone was originally supposed to be Jake’s partner, but he was announced as injured, so Jake went at it alone. The Rascalz carried this match with double teaming and high-flying moves. Trey pinned Jake after a double stomp from Wentz.
WINNERS: The Rascalz in 11:00.
-After the match, the arena went dark and the number 23 flashed on the screen with a voiceover that said “It’s just a number.” Fans chanted “What was that?” afterwards.
(3) ACE AUSTIN vs. TRENT SEVEN
Seven hit a bunch of big moves, including a Burning Hammer on the apron. Seven gave Ace a piledriver, but Austin kicked out of a pin attempt at one. Ace fired up, hit the Art of Finesse by himself (as a tribute to Chris Bey), and got the pin.
WINNER: Ace Austin in 13:00.
(4) JORDYNNE GRACE vs. ROSEMARY
This was a good back and forth match, with both wrestlers getting in offense. Grace got the Muscle Buster on Rosemary and went for the pin, but a hooded figure pulled the referee out of the ring. The person attacked Grace and gave her a DDT, finally revealing herself as Tessa Blanchard. Fans booed.
WINNER: No contest in 12:00.
They immediately cut to a commercial for Genesis, then went backstage. Gia Miller caught up to Tessa. Tessa angrily said that she built this company and that she is taking what is hers. She then pie-faced poor Gia and stormed off.
(5) JOE HENDRY vs. JOSH ALEXANDER vs. MIKE SANTANA vs. STEVE MACLIN
This match was to determine a number one contender for the World Title at Genesis. Eric Young sat with the commentary team. This was a good match with everyone having a chance to shine. Alexander zip-tied Santana’s wrist to a post outside the ring (which took forever). Alexander got back in the ring, where Hendry gave him a Standing Ovation for the pin.
WINNER: Joe Hendry in 18:00.
-A video to support Chris Bey’s Go Fund Me was followed by a Nic Nemeth promo.
(6) MASHA SLAMOVICH (c) vs. TASHA STEELZ — TNA Knockouts Title match
This was a falls count anywhere match. Santino Marella came out before the match and made Alisha Edwards leave the building. He sent extra security to ringside. This was a physical match with a lot of fighting at ringside. Slamovich gave Steelz a piledriver on the ramp and got the pin.
WINNER: Masha Slamovich in 13:00.
(7) MATT & JEFF HARDY (c) vs. EDDIE EDWARDS & BRIAN MYERS — TNA World Tag Team Title match
This was a tables match. The System put Matt through a table first. The System double teamed Jeff. Matt recovered and gave Myers a cutter through a table. A fan got in Eddie’s face and slapped him, and Eddie slapped him back hard. The fan was kicked out. The wrestlers fought in the crowd and set up a table in the aisle. Jeff gave Eddie a Swanton through the table to win. The crowd went crazy for this and the Hardys celebrated with them.
WINNERS: Matt & Jeff Hardy in 17:00.
(8) NIC NEMETH (c) vs. AJ FRANCIS (w/KC Navarro) — TNA World Title match
Frankie Kazarian came out early with his trophy and joined the commentary team. AJ had the early advantage. The referee threw out KC for interfering. Nemeth and AJ kicked out of each other’s big moves. At the end, it was Nemeth giving AJ the superkick and Danger Zone for the pin.
WINNER: Nic Nemeth in 20:00.
After the match, KC returned to the ring to attack Nemeth. Joe Hendry ran in for the save. Nemeth and Hendry both picked up the belt at the same time, then had a stare down.
