TNA iMPACT Slamback: Extreme Repercussions

Tonight’s iMPACT starts off with highlights from this past Sunday’s Sacrifice. The show goes live with the arrival of Amazing Red.

 

X Division Championship: Amazing Red vs. Suicide

The two men exchange near falls as the match kicks off. Suicide gets the upper hand for a brief moment, but he and Red seem to know a lot about each other. As Suicide continues control, the Main Event Mafia make their arrival to the iMPACT Zone.

Back in the Zone, Suicide still has the advantage after delivering a modified neck breaker. Red tries to get control, but Suicide recovers and delivers a diving dropkick. Following a leg drop across the neck, Suicide gets caught with a tornado DDT by Amazing Red.

Suicide recovers and counters into a Modified Reverse Neckbreaker. Suicide recovers and hits the Suicide Solution to get the win and retain the X Division Championship.

In the back, the Mafia is heading to the ring with their new Godfather: Sting!

As iMPACT returns, the MEM is led to the ring by their new leader, Sting. After this Sunday’s Sacrifice, Sting pinned Kurt Angle to earn the right to become the new Godfather of the Main Event Mafia.

Sting makes it clear that someone has forgotten the reason that this group was started in the first place. Sting then questions if anyone has let obstacles get in his way.

He goes through the lineup, starting with Booker and Kevin Nash. He then announces that starting tonight, the women are officially banned from the Mafia.

He then focuses on Kurt Angle’s security team. He then makes his second announcement: Sallie Boy and Rocko are fired from the Mafia.

Sting then gives someone a chance for someone to speak now if they have a problem with the results of what’s happening.

With that, Samoa Joe enters the Zone and directs his attention to the New Godfather.

Joe comes out and puts all of them on notice that he has been chosen to systematically take them out one by one until Kurt Angle is left. He then informs Kurt that he has been ordered to “kill” him.

In the back, Mick Foley has announced the two King of the Mountain Qualifying Matches for tonight: Jeff Jarrett vs. Eric Young; and TNA Legends Champion AJ Styles vs. his friend, Daniels.

Back on the show, JB is talking to The British Invasion following their loss to Beer Money. They then issue a challenge to anyone in the TNA locker room for a shot at the X Division Championship briefcase…in a Ladder Match.

Following a rundown of tonight’s iMPACT broadcast, Sharmell and Jenna Morasca are back at each other’s throats in a catfight in the back.

Back on the program, Dr. Stevie confronts Lauren and tells her that he plans to give Abyss a live “mind control” therapy session tonight.

X Division Briefcase Open Challenge Ladder Match

Doug Williams vs. Cody Deaner

Deaner uses a quick tactic to try to sprint towards the briefcase, but Williams drops him with an Electric Chair Drop. Williams continues the punishment with several moves that leave Deaner breathless. Deaner manages to muster up enough strength to keep Williams from retrieving the briefcase.

Williams uses the ladder to body slam Deaner across from it, but Deaner moves quick enough to allow himself not to get dropped with the knee.

Williams recovers from the leg injury to deliver a cross body, but Deaner hits a back drop to Williams on the ladder. Deaner sends him to the outside to his awaiting partners, who have held the ladder ransom.

Thanks to his fellow Brits, Williams launches Deaner to the outside and retrieves the case to continue their Invasion and continue to hold the case ransom.

After the bell, The Un-Americans make their way down to congratulate the Invasion on a “hard fought” victory.

In the back, Jeff Jarrett shows his disdain for Foley still holding the TNA Heavyweight Championship. JB tries to stir the pot, but Jarrett focuses on his opponent tonight and tells him that tonight, it’s time for him to grow up.

Back on the program, Dr. Stevie calls out his patient, and with that, Abyss makes his way down to the ring to confront his therapist. Stevie starts off by saying that they both have an addiction to pain and blood.

However, he tells Abyss that he is nothing more than a menace to society. He then informs him that they have to start the whole therapy process all over again.

He then tells Abyss to put the strait jacket back on. After Abyss puts the jacket on, Stevie grabs a cane and prepares to swing when Lauren comes down.

As he prepares to swing at Lauren, Raven makes his TNA return to confront Dr. Stevie. He then grabs the kendo stick from Stevie and wails on The Monster.

Following the beat down, Raven and Dr. Stevie leave the ring…as The Beautiful People make their way to it for Angelina’s title defense against Sojo Bolt.

 

TNA Knockouts Championship: Angelina Love vs. Sojourner Bolt

Love has complete control with a set of knees followed by a bicycle kick to the chops of Bolt. After two near falls, Love gets caught up in a Flapjack from Bolt.

Following an interference from Rayne and Sky, Love sprays something in the eyes of Bolt and connects with the Walk of Fame to get the victory and retain her championship over Sojo Bolt.

Following a few words to the crowd, she turns her attention to Cute Kip. She questions why he’s still with The Beautiful People. She calls him an embarrassment to TNA and orders security to get him out of the ring.

After ripping off the shirt, Kip walks away. Love then calls out some new blood to challenge her for the championship.

With that, Lisa Marie Varon aka Victoria (yes, that Victoria) makes her way to the ring and takes out Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne.

She then ushers for Love to come over, in which she gets dropped quickly with the Widow’s Peak. She then grabs a mic and tells love to consider the challenge accepted…NOW!

In the back, Eric Young makes it clear that he is done being disrespected by TNA, and that tonight, he intends to make sure that no one turns their back on Eric Young.

Also, Mick Foley starts to make his way to the ring to talk about what happened at the meeting in Tennessee.

Back on the program, Lethal Consequences and Motor City Machine Guns are determined to find out who is behind the mask of X Division Champion Suicide.

In the process, Mick Foley makes his way to the ring. The TNA World Heavyweight Champion does not look too happy as he makes his way into the six-sided ring.

Foley comes out and announces next week’s KOTM Qualifying Match: Samoa Joe vs. Kevin Nash…fought under Lethal Lockdown Rules.

He then informs the fans in the iMPACT Zone that he needs to remain the World Champion for as long as possible for the good of the company and the business.

So to ensure that he remains the champion for a long time, he decides not to defend the gold very often. As a compromise, he will defend the gold at Slammiversary, but after that, he will defend it once a year.

In the back, Samoa Joe apologizes to AJ Styles and admits that he lost it after the Mafia took him out. AJ tells him that after his match with Daniels, then they’ll talk.

King of the Mountain Qualifying Match: Eric Young vs. Jeff Jarrett

The two men exchange dropkicks, but Young gets control following a vicious clothesline. After an inverted atomic drop, Young drops Jarrett with a flying forearm. Jarrett starts to fight back, but Young counters a Figure Four Leglock into a small package.

After a two count, the two slug it out with Young getting the advantage with a sit-down Powerbomb. Young misses the moonsault, and Jarrett capitalizes with The Stroke. But Young manages to get his leg on the rope.

Young goes for the Wheelbarrow Bomb, but Jarrett counters it into a roll-up to get the win and advance to the King of the Mountain Ladder Match at Slammiversary in Detroit.

After a show of respect by Jarrett, Young extends his hand and congratulates Jarrett on the match. After being called back into the ring, Jarrett embraces his friend. But Young snaps and chop-blocks him in the injured hamstring.

He continues the punishment by climbing up top and landing the diving elbow on the injured leg of Jeff Jarrett. When he’s done, he tells Jarrett that “You’ll never forget about me now” before leaving the ring.

Back on the program, Team 3D is preparing to give the Tournament Awards to the winners of the Team 3D Invitational: Beer Money! Team 3D congratulates the tag team for a hard fought victory at Sacrifice.

They then present them with the championship trophies, a check for $100,000 and the opportunity to challenge Team 3D for the TNA World Tag Team Championships.

Robert Roode informs them that they will believe that they are the Greatest Tag Team in Wrestling today after Slammiversary. Following a beer toast for good measure, the two teams enjoy a celebration with the fans.

King of the Mountain Qualifying Match

TNA Legends Champion AJ Styles vs. Daniels

Back on the program, and after a chess battle between the two, Styles uses a modified neckbreaker to get control of the match.

Daniels takes advantage of Styles’ high-flying demeanor by hitting a neck breaker on a roped Styles followed by a Split-Leg Moonsault. Styles ducks a cross body and delivers a springboard forearm.

After a clothesline and spinning back kick, Styles has control until Daniels hits a spin out, sit-down Powerbomb.

Following a Fallen Cross, Daniels goes for the BME, but Styles blocks it and hits the Pele. Styles goes for the Styles Clash, Daniels counters into The Angels Wings and Styles counters into a roll up to get the win and advance to the King of The Mountain Match at Slammiversary.

Following the match, Shane Douglas arrives and drops Daniels with his trademark chain. Daniels wipes the blood off his mouth as The Franchise looks on and TNA goes off the air.
