	10-Man Tag	Big Show, Mr. Anderson, Eric Young, Zack Ryder & Fandango vs. Big E, Devon, Kenny King, Xavier Woods & MVP	Big E, Devon, King, Woods & MVP

Big Show, Mr. Anderson, Eric Young, Zack Ryder and Fandango vs. Big E, Devon, Kenny King, Xavier Woods and MVP

The MVP-led faction has been plowing through the NXT roster heading in to the pay-per-view one by one, literally. The faction continued to ambush individual superstars in and out of the ring. Finally, all of the victims banded together thanks to the help of Big Show and challenged MVP's squad to a 10-man tag team match. However, the chemistry of MVP's team proved to be too much to overcome as they conquered the one-off band of victims. 

Low Ki vs. Kalisto vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. DJ Z

All four men routinely look to steal the show with their high-flying maneuvers or hard-hitting and explosive strikes. All four styles would mesh well together to put on an entertaining match for the fans. As Del Rio and DJ Z fought outside the ring, Low Ki would corner Kalisto with a flurry of strikes and secure the pin-fall victory. 

NXT Tag Team Championship No. 1 Contender's Match: Colin Cassady and Enzo Amore vs. Bad News Barrett and Damien Sandow

Cassady and Amore may have the history of being paired together, but Barrett and Sandow proved that chemistry can develop quickly. Veterans of the industry, Barrett and Sandow meshed perfectly together and managed to dissect Cassady and Amore to prove they were by no means "Sawft."

Kenta vs. Dolph Ziggler

It is difficult to find two men more entertaining inside the ring. Finally, they have an opportunity to showcase their skills on a major stage. Kenta is known for his stiff strikes and creative maneuvers, but Ziggler is quickly becoming one of the most beloved and resilient performers in the industry. Despite a series of explosive strikes, Ziggler would catch Kenta with the Zig Zag to secure the win. 

No Disqualification: Sheamus vs. Batista

At the moment, these two men may be among the most despised wrestlers in the industry. However, it is that very reason why these two would put it all on the line in a No DQ match and entertain the fans.

Neither men receives their due credit for putting on high-quality stories inside the ring, but Sheamus and Batista are more than capable of doing so. Both are no-nonsense brawlers and would mesh well together. They both rely on their strength and power maneuvers, which would make their weapon strikes that much more satisfying for fans. A quick Brogue Kick after dropping down from a Batista Bomb attempt seals the victory.

NXT Tag Team Championship TLC Match: Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian vs. Brian Kendrick and Paul London

In the past decade, these two have been among the most entertaining tag teams in and out of the ring. Both teams have fantastic chemistry and are veterans of the sport, so it would be easy for them to have an entertaining match. The TLC stipulation allows for limitless creativity and high spots, which these two teams would be able to deliver with ease.

All four men have their followings but never seem to get the credit they deserve on a worldwide level. By coming together on an important stage and having one of the top matches on the card, they would finally receive the credit they deserve in the same sense that Edge and Christian and the Hardy Boyz received after their ladder match in October of 1999.

NXT Championship No. 1 Contender's Submission Match: Samoa Joe vs. John Cena

For many, Samoa Joa vs. John Cena represents a dream match as it pits WWE's clean-cut poster boy in Cena against the no-nonsense indy darling in Joe. Both men have made it to the peak of their respective companies, but Joe clearly has the fan support of the Internet wrestling community.

This would clearly be an emotional rivalry for the industry, as both men have their legions of dedicated fans. Many fans bash Cena for being unable to wrestle, but he has proved he can put on a great match with the right opponent. Joe is a submission machine and regarded as one of the top wrestlers on the independent scene, so this would be seen as a challenge for Joe. 

Heading in to the match, Joe would continue to play to Cena's motto of "never giving up," hence the reason for the submission match. Cena would once again claim that he would never tap out, which would ultimately prove to be true. However, Joe would win this match by locking in the Coquina Clutch for so long that Cena would pass out and lose the match.

NXT Championship Hell in a Cell: Chris Jericho vs. Brock Lesnar w/ Paul Heyman

Every super card needs to have a dream match, and it is difficult to find many pairings better than Chris Jericho vs. Brock Lesnar. Jericho has had his fair share of run-ins with Paul Heyman in the past, and Heyman always takes his talents to another level when advocating for Lesnar. 

Although Lesnar has superior strength to Jericho, Y2J has proven to be one of the most cunning superstars in professional wrestling history. Jericho has the abilities to go toe-to-toe with any superstar and proved that when he became the first WWE Undisputed Champion by defeating both Stone Cold and The Rock in the same night. 

This would be an athletic masterpiece inside the squared circle, with Jericho and Heyman leading the way on the microphone heading into the match. Finally, fans would have a match worthy of its hype and pre-match build as both Jericho and Lesnar are known as two of the finest in-ring performers in the world. This match truly has everything fans could ask for in a main event match, especially with the added brutality of the Hell in a Cell environment.

Both men are veterans of the Hell in a Cell match and know what it would take to escape victorious. This would be an unforgiving and brutal match that would certainly go down in history as one of the top championship matches.

Joe Arcidiacono—WWE

Championship on the Line	Stipulation	Match	Winner
World Heavyweight Championship	Triple Threat	Daniel Bryan (c) vs. A.J. Styles vs. Kevin Steen	Daniel Bryan

	Cruiserweight Championship No. 1 Contender Six-Man Scramble	Austin Aries vs. Ricochet vs. ACH vs. Manik vs. AR Fox vs. Fire Ant	Austin Aries

Six-Man Scramble Match to decide a Cruiserweight Championship No. 1 contender: Austin Aries vs. Ricochet vs. ACH vs. Manik vs. AR Fox vs. Fire Ant

Each man has languished in the company, outside of IC and world title contention, but the reinstatement of the cruiserweight title has energized these six men. Late in the match, Fire Ant throws Manik to the outside and hits a running knee on Aries, rebounding off the ropes and hitting Manik with a plancha on the outside.

ACH hits the ropes and lands a huge step up top onto Manik and Fire Ant. AR Fox ascends the ropes but is crotched by Ricochet, who positions Fox for a double moonsault. As he prepares, Aries pushes Ricochet onto Manik, Fire Ant and ACH and locks AR Fox in the Last Chancery for the win.

Street Fight: Tommy Dreamer and Eddie Kingston vs. Silas Young and Ryback

No matter the opportunities he was given, Silas Young, “The last real man” as he calls himself, doesn’t feel he gets the respect he deserves from the locker room or the fans. He found that Ryback also felt the same way and offered that the two should make a name for themselves—by attacking Tommy Dreamer and his protege, Eddie Kingston.

After weeks of assaults, Dreamer and Kingston challenged Young and Ryback to a street fight. Young and Ryback attack Dreamer and Kingston during their entrance and throw him off the stage.  They drag Dreamer to the ring and nearly get the win but Kingston makes the save with a barbed-wire bat. Dreamer DDTs Ryback on the barbed wire for the win.

Triple Threat Grudge Match: Rhino vs. Mark Henry vs. Michael Elgin

Each man in this match has a legitimate claim as being the baddest, most devastating man on the roster, and the time has come to find out who actually can claim that title. They’ve been interfering in each other's matches for weeks now, and the bad blood between these men has reached the boiling point.

The three men brawl around the ring until Rhino gores Henry through the barricade. Elgin takes advantage, throwing Rhino back in the ring and hitting him with a bucklebomb followed by a top rope sit out powerbomb for the win.

Tag Team Championship Triple Threat Match: Briscoe Brothers (Mark and Jay) (c) vs. Bullet Club (Karl “Machine Gun” Anderson and Doc Gallows) vs. Goldust and Stardust

When the Bullet Club invaded the WWE, the stable immediately inserted itself into the World and Tag Team title pictures. Goldust and Stardust have been steadily making their way up the tag team ladder to earn their shot while the Bullet Club have forcibly inserted themselves into this match by relentlessly attacking every other team in WWE.

To start this match, the Briscoes and Goldust/Stardust tag their teammates to keep Bullet Club out of the match, who eventually attack Mark Briscoe from behind, drag him to their corner, and Gallows tags himself in and a brawl breaks out with the referee struggling to keep order.

Eventually, the Briscoes focus on Anderson on the outside, allowing Goldust and Stardust to take to the top ropes—with Goldust taking out the Briscoes and Anderson as Stardust surprises Gallows in the ring with a moonsault, gaining the three count and the tag titles.

Cruiserweight Championship Match: Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Matt Sydal

The former team of Air Boom disintegrated with the reinstatement of the cruiserweight championship. They had been chasing the tag titles but were added into the battle royal to decide the first cruiserweight champ, where Kofi sneakily eliminated Sydal.

Sydal demanded answers from Kofi, who said Sydal should get over it and still offered to tag with him. Sydal didn’t even consider the offer and attacked Kofi, setting up this match. The action is fast paced and high flying in this title match. It looked as if Sydal would hit the Shooting Star Press for the win, but Kofi rolls out of the way and gains his feet, hitting the Trouble in Paradise as Sydal lands to retain the title.

Knockout or Submission Fatal 4-Way Match for IC title shot: Kyle O’Reilly vs. Tommaso Ciampa vs. Bully Ray vs. Roderick Strong

These four guys hate each other almost as much as they all believe they should be the next in line for an IC title shot. Each man has the ability to knock out or submit any other: O’Reilly with the cross armbreaker; Ciampa with his lethal knees; Bully Ray’s combo of Bully Bomb/Cutter; Roderick with his backbreakers and Stronghold.

Bully and Tommaso take control early, using their power to take the advantage, but O’Reilly and Strong weathered the early assaults and go to work, softening up body parts and looking to lock in their respective finishers. As Bully Ray works over Roderick Strong and eventually hits a big Bully Bomb that seems to knock out Roderick, O’Reilly catches Ciampa in a cross armbreaker and Ciampa taps out before Bully can break up the submission.

Intercontinental Championship 30-Minute Ironman Match: Randy Orton (c) vs. Michael Bennett with Maria

This conflict began when Orton used cheap tactics to win the belt from Bennett and has been ducking him ever since. Since then, Orton has been harassing Maria to get inside Bennett’s head and getting himself DQ’ed from their matches to retain his title.

Bennett finally issues a challenge for a 30-minute Ironman match, so if Orton uses a weapon or illegal tactic, it would count toward Bennett winning back the IC title. Orton starts off this match targeting Maria, to throw Bennett off his game early on. This match was back and forth with neither man gaining a solid advantage for long.

With minutes left in the match, Orton earned the first pinfall after hitting an RKO, but not long after, Bennett was able to hit a piledriver to even the score. With less than a minute left, Orton sets up for another RKO when Maria gets on the apron to distract the Viper, allowing Bennett to roll up Orton for the victory.

WWE World Heavyweight Championship Triple Threat Match: Daniel Bryan (c) vs. AJ Styles vs. Kevin Steen

AJ Styles seeks the only gold he’s never held, but Daniel Bryan has taken on all challengers and won’t back down from Styles and the Bullet Club. After Bryan is victorious in their first match, Anderson, Gallows and Styles beat down Bryan until Kevin Steen runs in to help chase off the Bullet Club.

The crowd cheers Steen wildly until he hits the Package piledriver and hoists the world title above his head.  Styles and Steen team up to batter Bryan early but as Styles goes for the pin, Steen goes on the offensive.

Anderson and Gallows try to help Styles but are dragged to the back by a mob of referees, leaving Styles alone in the ring with Bryan. He hits the Styles Clash, only to have the pin broken up by Steen. Furious, AJ hits him not once but twice with the Styles Clash, but before he can go for the pin, Bryan hits him with a running knee to earn the victory.

Donald Wood—ROH

World Heavyweight Championship	Career vs. Title No Disqualification Match	Dean Ambrose (c) vs. The Undertaker	Dean Ambrose

	PPV Opener	Chris Hero vs. Solomon Crowe	Chris Hero
	Pre-Show TV Title Qualifier	Sanada vs. Corey Graves vs. Homicide vs. Lashley vs. Johnny Gargano vs Davey Boy Smith	Bobby Lashley

Pre-Show TV Title Qualifier: Sanada vs. Corey Graves vs. Homicide vs. Lashley vs. Johnny Gargano vs. Davey Boy Smith Jr.

The opening match of the night will be a qualifying match for the Television Title Championship Scramble match later in the night. This match features an eclectic mix of powerhouses, high-flyers and brawlers, but it will ultimately be Bobby Lashley who walks away with the victory.

Chris Hero vs. Solomon Crowe

In the opening match of the night, fan favorite Chris Hero will return to Ring of Honor to square off against longtime adversary Solomon Crowe. The two men have squared off all over the world, but their battle under the Ring of Honor banner will be the best to date. Hero is victorious in his return, but a frustrated Crowe attacks him after the match to continue the feud.

Bobby Roode vs. The Miz

After months of The Miz running his mouth about his latest movie, Bobby Roode has finally been able to get a shot at him in a one-on-one match. Roode is the better in-ring worker and would carry The Miz to a stellar match, but this feud would be all about the promos and building the fans' anticipation for the heel to finally get his beatdown.

Candice LeRae vs. Joey Ryan        

One of the most intriguing matches on the card is Candice LeRae vs. Joey Ryan. The former tag team partners became a force in the tag team division but fell short of winning the gold when Ryan admitted his love for LaRae. After several vintage Ryan promos, LaRae challenges him to a match. LaRae will overcome Ryan’s approach to the match and take the victory.

Bo Dallas vs. Colt Cabana

The fun continues when Bo Dallas squares off against Colt Cabana. Dallas is one of the funniest characters in wrestling today, and Cabana is a comedic genius. Put the two in the ring together for an extended match and the result will be a good technical bout that tells a funny story. Despite Colt’s best effort, Dallas will steal the win and further his heel evolution.

TV Title Championship Scramble: Rob Van Dam (c) vs. Adam Cole vs. Jay Lethal w/ Truth Martini vs. Magnus vs. Lashley (Pre-Show Qualifier)

The first championship match of the night will be for the TV title. With Lashley already qualifying for the bout, he will be joined by Adam Cole, Jay Lethal, Magnus and defending champion Rob Van Dam. In what would be the best technical bout of the night, every member of the match would gain a pinfall over a challenger, but it will be Cole who eventually pins Van Dam in the waning seconds to become the new champion. The Young Bucks hit the ring to celebrate with Cole.

Loser Leaves America Match: Rusev w/ Lana vs. James Storm

After an incredible TV Title match, another uniquely stipulated bout will take place. With James Storm and Rusev locked in a similar feud to what we’re seeing now with Jack Swagger and the Bulgarian Brute, this match will be a Loser Leaves America Match. The need to continue building Rusev as a top star will result in a loss for Storm and some time off to revamp his cowboy gimmick.

Contract Match: Triple H w/ Stephanie McMahon vs. Prince Devitt

Triple H runs the ROH developmental system and has been holding Prince Devitt back for months. Clearly one of the best workers on the roster, Triple H has claimed that the bigger and stronger performers were better than the B+ player. Devitt has grown tired of the treatment and offers to put his contract on the line for a PPV match against Triple H. Despite the interference of Stephanie McMahon, Devitt still gets the victory and earns a place on the main roster.

Ring of Honor Tag Team Championship Triple Threat Match: The Hardy Boyz (Matt and Jeff Hardy) (c) vs. The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) vs. The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson)

The co-main event of the evening will be a three-way tag team championship match between defending champion The Hardy Boys and challengers The Ascension and The Young Bucks. Another match with a unique mixture of styles, this tag team match will feature some of the coolest spots of the night and a proverbial passing of the torch when Nick Jackson pins Matt Hardy to earn The Young Bucks the titles. Cole hits the ring to celebrate with the new champions.

Career vs. Title No Disqualification World Heavyweight Championship Match: Dean Ambrose (c) vs. The Undertaker

In the most anticipated match on the card, Dean Ambrose will defend his Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Championship against The Undertaker. There is a caveat, though, that The Undertaker will retire if he is unable to beat Ambrose. The defending champion has been playing an anti-hero face for months, but he has shown signs of a heel turn since first interacting with Undertaker. Forcing the challenger to put his career on the line was the final straw and the battle got personal.

The two men will participate in an amazing match full of classic storytelling and pure brawling, but it will be The Undertaker who holds the edge as the match drags on. After hitting the tombstone piledriver and going for the pin, the trio of Cole and The Young Bucks hit the ring to break up the count.

Undertaker clears the ring, but Ambrose hits the legend with a low blow and steal the roll-up win. Ambrose embraces Cole and The Young Bucks and grabs the mic. This will be the formation of the modern-day Four Horsemen.

Six-Man Ultimate-X Match for X-Division Championship No. 1 Contendership: Tyson Kidd w/ Natalya vs. Trent? vs. Justin Gabriel vs. The Hurricane vs. Tigre Uno vs. Chavo Guerrero

TNA’s Bound For Glory pay-per-view kicks off with a frenzied affair that has major implications for the future of the company. Six of the best cruiserweights in the world lock horns in an Ultimate-X match to determine the No. 1 contender for the X-Division Championship.

Since the X-Division champion has the right to cash in his title for a TNA World Heavyweight Championship match at any time in this version of the promotion, holding that belt is absolutely vital. All six men in this match are aware of that, and they leave it all on the line in a death-defying contest.

Natalya had been reluctant to embrace her husband Tyson Kidd’s rule-breaking ways leading up to the event, but she finally sees the light when Trent? is about to win the match. Natalya pushes Trent? off the ropes in the closing stages, allowing Kidd to grab the contract and take another step toward the top of TNA.

John Morrison vs. Tyler Breeze

With John Morrison gaining the adoration of the fans for his flashy persona and movie-star good looks, jealousy naturally starts to set in for Tyler Breeze. The self-professed Prince Pretty considers himself the most gorgeous Superstar in TNA and he wants to rearrange the Shaman of Sexy’s face at Bound For Glory.

Breeze does everything he can to tear down Morrison and criticize his appearance leading up to the event. He even states that his sole mission is to make Morrison hideous by hitting him with his Beauty Shot finisher.

For all the talk about looks during the build toward the match, the bout itself is a fantastic one. Morrison and Breeze happen to be two of the most innovative wrestlers in TNA, and that is quite apparent throughout.

After missing Starship Pain, Morrison takes the Beauty Shot flush on the chin and Breeze picks up the victory. Breeze takes a selfie next to Morrison’s prone body after the match to add insult to injury.

Zeb Leaves TNA or Benjamin Joins Real Americans: Jack Swagger w/ Zeb Colter vs. Shelton Benjamin

While Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter have largely focused on ridding TNA of its foreign dependence, the duo shifts its focus toward Shelton Benjamin. The Gold Standard is back in the United States after a successful stint in Japan, but his hiatus doesn’t sit well with the Real Americans.

Like Swagger, Benjamin is a former collegiate All-American wrestler. Colter reminds Benjamin of that many times and places plenty of emphasis on the fact that he is American. Colter tries to recruit Benjamin into the Real Americans without success, but Benjamin finally agrees to join the group if Swagger can beat him at BFG.

If Benjamin is able to defeat Swagger, however, Colter must leave TNA forever. The stakes are incredibly high and that makes for an awesome technical encounter. Swagger is finally able to trap Benjamin in the Patriot Lock, and while Benjamin does everything in his power to escape, he finally has no choice but to tap, making him a reluctant member of the Real Americans.

Mask vs. Mask: Rey Mysterio vs. Sin Cara

Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara were rising up the tag team ranks, but dissension started to brew within the duo when Sin Cara became jealous of the fans’ adoration for Mysterio. Knowing that he would never be able to match his counterpart in terms of popularity, Sin Cara decided to turn his back on the master of the 619.

In an attempt to eradicate Mysterio once and for all, Sin Cara challenges him to a mask vs. mask match at Bound For Glory. Since masked wrestlers’ very identity depends upon the masks they don, both men are well aware that they will never be able to show their faces again in TNA should they lose.

As two of the world’s best high flyers , Mysterio and Sin Cara put on an aerial classic. With hurricanranas, planchas and moonsaults galore, the fans are left on the edge of their seats and never know what to expect next.

After missing a top-rope senton, Sin Cara finds himself hung up on the ropes, allowing Mysterio to execute a 619 and win the match. Sin Cara’s mask is then removed before he retreats backstage in shame, never to be seen in TNA again.

TNA World Tag Team Championship Triple Threat TLC: The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) (c) vs. Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) vs. The Usos (Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso)

TNA has long been known for its excellence in tag team wrestling, and that is abundantly clear in this match. The Wolves put their titles on the line against the reformed Motor City Machine Guns as well as The Usos in a Triple Threat TLC match that hearkens back to WWE’s Attitude Era.

All three teams are willing to take risks in order to win the gold, so they are naturally excellent choices for this type of match. All six men are supremely athletic, but they are also capable brawlers and are no stranger to utilizing tables, ladders and chairs.

It is easy for wrestlers to get caught in the moment during TLC matches, and that is precisely what happens to The Usos. Rather than trying to grab the titles, Jey and Jimmy hit Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley with splashes from the top of two ladders. With two of the teams incapacitated, Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards take advantage by scaling the ladders and retaining their titles.

Monster’s Ball Match: Kane vs. Abyss

As two of the darkest and most sadistic characters in the history of pro wrestling, Kane and Abyss were seemingly made to feud with each other. Fans have always wondered who would come out on top if they locked horns, and they will find out when The Demon and The Monster meet in a Monster’s Ball match.

Monster’s Ball is Abyss’ signature match, but Kane fears no man and no stipulation, so he agrees without hesitation. Kane and Abyss are both elite brawlers who have used weapons to great success over the course of their respective careers.

Abyss has an ace up his sleeve in form of his trusty nail-covered board affectionately known as Janice. Kane is able to avoid getting hit with Janice, though, and introduces some thumbtacks into the match. The Big Red Machine then chokeslams and finally Tombstones Abyss onto the tacks before pinning him and proving to be the true monster of TNA.

TNA X-Division Championship Triple Threat: Sami Zayn vs. Adrian Neville vs. Christian (c)

The X-Division Championship represents being on the cusp of world title contention. Christian has been among the best all-around performers in the business since debuting in 1998, and he is looking to have one more match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

Two of the fastest-rising stars in wrestling are standing in Christian’s way, however, in the form of Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville. Both Zayn and Neville have all the makings of future world champions, and there is no question that they would benefit greatly from nabbing the X-Division strap.

Christian has an innate ability to make those around him better, and he does precisely that for Zayn and Neville in this contest. All three men come close to winning on multiple occasions, but someone is always alert enough to break up the pin.

The Man That Gravity Forgot appears to have the title within his grasp after hitting Christian with a Red Arrow off the top rope, but Zayn opportunistically throws Neville out of the ring and pins his countryman to become the new X-Division champion.

Street Fight For Control of Wyatt Family: Bray Wyatt vs. Luke Harper (w/ Erick Rowan at ringside)

Bray Wyatt’s influence over Luke Harper and Erick Rowan has been apparent since the Wyatt Family first burst onto the scene. Wyatt owes much of his success to his followers, but he rarely shows his appreciation for their efforts.

With Harper and Rowan absorbing more and more abuse from their leader, cracks begin to form in the foundation of the Wyatt Family. Harper is growing especially tired of Wyatt, while Rowan is conflicted and stuck in the middle. With Wyatt and Harper clashing on a daily basis, they agree to a match at Bound For Glory with the winner gaining control of the stable.

This match would naturally be a street fight with Rowan looking on from ringside. After months and months of submitting himself to Wyatt’s verbal barbs, Harper finally gets an opportunity to take out his frustrations.

With Wyatt feeling his hold on the Wyatt Family slipping, he appeals to Rowan for help. Rowan enters the ring with a chair and seems poised to hit Harper, but he cracks Wyatt over the head instead and Harper follows up with a massive clothesline to end Wyatt’s reign of terror.

Rowan shows his willingness to follow Harper after the match, but Harper removes the sheep mask from Rowan’s face and stomps on it, signifying the end of the Wyatt Family once and for all.

Kurt Angle vs. Cesaro

In the weeks and months leading up to Bound For Glory, Cesaro dominated much of the roster and declared himself the best technical wrestler in the world. Many challenged him and attempted to prove him wrong, but nobody could beat him. Enter Kurt Angle, who staked claim to the title of best technical wrestler in his own right.

As a 1996 Olympic gold medalist in wrestling, Angle has the hardware to back up his claim. Despite that, Cesaro is unimpressed and dismissive of Angle’s past accomplishments. He labels Angle as a has-been and aims to prove once and for all that he can grapple better than anyone else.

Much to the surprise of nobody, Angle and Cesaro are as evenly matched as they come. Their mat-wrestling prowess is fantastic as each competitor finds a way to counter whatever the other throws at them. With no separation between their technical skills, the two combatants eventually resort to brawling.

After Cesaro escapes the ankle lock on several occasions, Angle decides to take a risk. He goes for a moonsault off the top rope, but Cesaro pops up to his feet and uppercuts Angle on his way down. Cesaro then picks up the Olympic hero and hits him with a Neutralizer to back up his claim as the best pure wrestler in the world.

TNA World Heavyweight Championship Match: Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins (c)

The main event pits two former friends against each other with TNA’s biggest prize on the line. After dissolving The Shield, Seth Rollins set his sights on becoming TNA World Heavyweight champion. He accomplished that feat, but Roman Reigns was hot on his trail the entire time.

After running roughshod through the entire roster, Rollins has no choice but to grant his chief rival a title shot. Reigns enters the match as a big favorite in what looks like a David vs. Goliath matchup on paper. That much is proved early in the contest.

Reigns hits Rollins with a Superman Punch during the match’s first few minutes, which causes Rollins to be busted open. Rollins absorbs a ton of punishment and takes everything Reigns has but refuses to stay down for the three count.

Rollins somehow begins to pick up momentum and seems to be on track to pull off the upset. The fans start to get behind Rollins in support of the heart he has shown throughout the contest. Rollins ascends to the top rope and looks to hit Reigns with a decisive Curb Stomp, but Reigns catches Rollins with a Superman Punch on the way down.

Reigns then spears Rollins into oblivion to become the new TNA World Heavyweight champion. Reigns picks Rollins up after the match and looks poised to make amends with him out of respect for his performance. Instead doing that, though, Reigns proceeds to destroy his former partner.

Reigns spears Rollins through the barricade and even powerbombs him through the announce table for good measure. This completes an unlikely double turn and cements Reigns as the biggest and most dangerous villain in TNA.
