Taped for TNA iMPACT:
Santino Marella comes out first to address the crowd. He says due to the actions of last week he wants Matt Cardona to come down to the ring. He said he has the evidence for what he did to crash PCO & SDL’s wedding and he was a wedding crasher. He has a contract for Cardona to face PCO right here in Tampa for what he’s done. Cardona said he will have his lawyers look it over and if everything looks right he will face PCO.
-Ultimate X Qualifier: Laredo Kid def Jai Vidal & Bhupinder Gujjar
–Rosemary def Alisha Edwards w/Masha Slamovich. Spitfire came to stop Slamovich from interfering while Rosemary picked up the victory.
–6 Person Tag: Rhino, PCO & Xia Brookside def Kon, Madman Fulton & Steph DeLander w/Matt Cardona. SDL came out dressed like Lydia Deets from the wedding scene in Beetlejuice. Cardona comes out and says he would have faced PCO but he’s not medically cleared but not to worry SDL, she has 2 mystery partners in Kon and Madman Fulton. SDL spent most of the match arguing with her partners and Cardona looking very distraught and not wanting to face her husband, PCO. SDL never gets into the match and celebrates with her husband, PCO.
-Ultimate X Qualifier: Hammerstone def KUSHIDA & Frankie Kazarian.
Post match Kaz beats down KUSHIDA and leaves him laying.
–Jonathan Gresham def Charlie Dempsey. After the match the two came to blows and Dempsey was angry about the loss.
The System and JDC come out to the ring. Alisha says we are looking at the most dominant faction in wrestling and soon again everyone will hold gold again. (It seems like the same promo they did last night as Alisha is in the same dress and all the same bullet points about Mike Santana, Nemeth, etc.)
-“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/Trent Seven def. Rich Swann w/AJ Francis. The Rascalz were up in the balcony cheering & jeering throughout the match,.
–Joe Hendry def Brian Myers w/Eddie & Alisha Edwards. Midmatch, referee Daniel Spencer threw both Eddie & Alisha out due them interfering. Post match Edwards returns and helps Myers double team Hendry until Mike Santana comes out. Myers & Hendry retreat to the match and goes into the next match.
-Mike Santana def Eddie Edwards
–TNA World Tag Team Champions ABC (Ace Austin & Chris Bey) def Cody Deaner & Jake Something.
Post match Rich Swann & AJ Francis best down the champions and held their titles over them.
Ringside area is surrounded with glamorous weapons as bedazzled pink chairs and feather boa wrapped trash cans. No dq for the TNA Knockouts Title
Jordynne Grace def Ash by Elegance with her personal Concierge. Incredible moment during the match, Grace gets a table from under the ring and sets it up. Ash intercepts and her and her concierge put a table cloth on the table to take it more “elegant” for usage. Jordynne also grabbed a shaker bottle and instead of thumbtacks or legos, it was filled with huge diamonds. Ash also used a vine of roses to choke Grace with. The Concierge was about to hit Grace with two high heeled shoes but Rosemary emerged from under the ring to chase him off. Alisha Edwards & Masha Slamovich run down, Edwards get a spine buster from Grace but Slamovich piledrives her onto the diamonds. Spitfire comes down to even the odds as Ash was about to hit Grace with a chair from the top rope she blocked her and got into position for the muscle buster which she hit from the apron through the table and pins Ash outside. Really super fun and entertaining match. Crowd was super into all the creative spots throughout.
The Hardy Boyz def Moose & JDC. Post match Mike Santana came down to help the Hardys who were being beat down by Dango & Moose. Myers & Edwards come down to help out and Joe Hendry’s music hit to a huge pop from the crowd as he came down to help clear the ring. Matt addressed the crowd and gave props to Santana and Hendry. Matt said he believes in Jeff Hardy, Santana and he believes in Joe Hendry but he also believes in TNA. He thanks the fans for believing in them and in TNA for over 20 years. He then passes the mic to The Realest One, Santana. Santana said it’s incredible to be in the ring with one of the greatest tag teams, The Hardys and one of the hottest acts, Joe Hendry. He says he’s gonna pass it to the man everyone believes in. Hendry takes the mic and says he’s gonna keep it short but he’s happy the fans of Tampa turned out after them last being here 11 years ago. He does a play on his song and says he believes in Santana, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy but most of all TNA.
