Impact opens with Kurt Angle telling the tag team champs that all they have to do is
win two of their three matches tonight to get the man advantage at Destination X,
however, AJ Styles seems to have Karen Angle solely on his mind. Angle tells him to
forget about her and start focusing on his street fight against Kevin Nash later on
before giving both Styles & Tomko advice on how to win their matches.
The Impact intro hits as Mike Tenay and Don West hype tonight’s three big matches
featuring AJ Styles against Kevin Nash in a street fight, Samoa Joe vs. Tomko in a
first blood match and Kurt Angle against Christian Cage inside the Six Sides of
Steel.
Jim Cornette and Matt Morgan are standing in the ring and Cornette runs down the
Destination X card. He then talks about the three matches tonight and says that all
of them must have a decisive winner as the winner will go into the pay-per-view with
a advantage.
Cornette then calls Booker T out to the ring and tells him that his match against
Robert Roode will be a strap match. Plus, if Booker wins, Traci Brooks will be able
to give Payton Banks 10 lashes with the strap after the match, however, if Roode
wins, Banks will be able to do the same to Brooks. Roode comes out and says it’s
against his morale fiber to allow the lashings to happen and says it is between
Booker and himself. He then tells Booker to be a man and fight his own battles,
which sends Booker into a rage as they come to blows on the ramp. Security has to
come in to separate the two.
Crystal is backstage with the Unlikely Alliance who all cut promos about picking the
Angle Alliance apart tonight to gain the advantage during the six-man tag match at
Destination X. Nash tries to throw in a bit of comedy by doing a Hulk Hogan
impersonation and asks what AJ Styles is going to do once his 17-times surgically
repaired knees come crashing down on him.
Match 1: AJ Styles vs. Kevin Nash (Street Fight)
Nash lands a few hard rights to the Styles’ forehead before the action heads out to
the crowd. On that note, cue the commercial break. Upon returning, Styles is in
control of the match in the middle of the ring and works on Nash’s knees, however,
Nash turns the tide by landing a side slam on Styles. Nash then tries for a
jackknife powerbomb but Nash can’t deliver the move as his knees buckle. Styles
tries for a high risk move from the top rope but Nash catches him by the neck and
delivers a choke slam for the pin fall and pick up the first win for his team.
Crystal is the workshop with Black Reign, who says he loves to torture people like
Eric Young. As for Kaz, Reign will eat his face off for dying is arctic fox, Misty,
white.
After a commercial break, Crystal is standing by with Jay Lethal and So Cal Val and
asks when the two will be going out on a date. Lethal says he has business to take
care of with a battle royal tonight, and then it’s on to Petey Williams at
Destination X. After all of that is taken care of, he will get freaky with So Cal
Val.
Mike Tenay and Don West run down the rest of tonight’s card that will feature a
Destination X battle royal and Awesome Kong in action. Tenay then gets word that
something is going on backstage and it’s Brooks and Banks in a catfight.
Jeremy Borash is with Eric Young, who is still running around being scared of the
monsters, Black Reign and Rellik. Jeremy Borash tries to give him some
encouragement by telling him the same thing that Kaz told him last week and to dig
deep to find his alter ego and bring it out.
Match 2: Battle Royal
Everyone in this match is scheduled to compete at Destination X. The winner of the
battle royal will get to add a special stipulation to their match. Competing in the
match is the Rock n’ Rave Infection, the Motorcity Machine Guns, the LAX, Eric
Young, Black Reign, Rellik, Jay Lethal, Petey Williams, Shark Boy, Curry Man and
Team 3D.
Speaking of Team 3D, they still have to make weight to compete in the battle royal.
Neither of them make weight and Brother Ray proclaims that he didn’t want to be in
the match anyway. He then explains that they didn’t make weight because muscle
weighs more than fat.
The battle royal starts as Sonjay Dutt comes out and begins taking donations and
gives the hand of So Cal Val a kiss. Scott Steiner also comes out for a closer look
as Homicide is eliminated by the MMG’s. Neither of the MMG’s last too long after
that as they’re nearly eliminated at the same time shortly thereafter.
Hernandez is the next one to go out as Scott Steiner helps Petey Williams eliminate
him when the referee’s back was turned. Steiner tries to give Williams more help by
trying to take out Young, but referee Slick Johnson sees him this time and orders
Steiner to the back. Williams is still able to toss out Young, though, even without
Steiner’s help.
Shark Boy & Curry Man eliminate Lance Hoyt with a double clothesline and Rellik
tosses Shark Boy out afterwards. Lethal tosses out Black Reign, who is then tossed
out by Petey Williams, who is then eliminated by Curry Man.
Jimmy Rave, Curry Man and Rellik are the final three in the ring and Rellik begins
to use his size advantage over his opponents. Curry Man and Rave start working
together against Rellik, but their partnership is short lived as Curry Man puts Rave
in the spice rack and dumps him over the top rope. Rellik then nails Curry Man from
behind and tosses him over the rope, but Curry Man’s feet both land on the back of
Jimmy Rave, thus he is not eliminated. Curry Man re-enters the ring and
clotheslines Rellik over the top rope to win the battle royal.
Curry Man calls for a microphone and begins to speak in Japanese until Shark Boy
enters the ring and steals the microphone away from him. Shark Boy calls out the
stipulation that if Team 3D doesn’t make weight or loses their match at Destination
X, they have to leave TNA for good. As for the match, Shark Boy makes it a fish
market street fight.
Jeremy Borash is standing by with Angelina Love & Velvet Sky. Roxxi Laveaux is
wandering around in the background and gets pulled over by the two. They both
apologize for mocking her last week and promise to give her a makeover next week on
Impact.
Match 3: Tomko vs. Samoa Joe (First Blood Match)
The match starts and the hammer for the ring bell comes into play quick as the two
battle near the announce table. Joe sends Tomko into the ring post and the steel
steps, but is unable to bust him open. Joe then delivers a piledriver to Tomko on
the entrance ramp and sends him into the ring, where Tomko levels Joe with a
clothesline. Tomko locks Joe in a headlock and begins to pound on Joe’s forehead
with some hard rights.
Tomko sets up a chair in the corner and tries to send Joe flying into it, but Joe is
able to put on the breaks and send Tomko crashing head first into the chair. Joe
then kicks the chair into Tomko’s face, but it still doesn’t draw any blood. Tomko
then fights back and swings the chair at Joe, who tries to block it with his arm.
Joe comes back at Tomko and locks him in a rear naked choke and the referee calls
for the bell and awards Tomko the victory. The referee then points out Joe’s arm
that has a small trickle of blood on it.
The first installment of TNA’s Rough Cut is aired where both Kip James and BG James
explain how the two of them got together as a tag team in the first place. Kip
explains that they worked well together as he was the workhorse and BG was the
mouthpiece, however, BG states that they had their differences early on and those
eventually started to shine through. This is to be continued next week.
Jeremy Borash is backstage with James Mitchell and Judas Mesias, and asks Mitchell
if he knows the whereabouts of Abyss. Mitchell says he did exactly what he said he
was going to do as Abyss is no more. As for Mesias’s match against Rhino tonight,
Mitchell has instructed him to drink his blood and eat off his flesh so he chokes on
his own blood.
Rhino comes out with the drinking championship and compares it to a piece of crap,
just like James Storm, and proceeds to smash it. He then promises to make Storm
fall 15 feet off of the Elevation X platform on Sunday.
Match 4: Rhino vs. Judas Mesias
The match starts out as a seesaw battle between these two powerful individuals. The
action constantly sways back and forth with neither of them gaining the advantage
for long. Mesias finally gains control of the match with a Russian leg sweep, but
misses with a frog splash. This gives Rhino the opening to Gore Mesias and pick up
the pin fall.
After the match, James Storm sneaks into the ring and levels Rhino with a superkick.
Storm and Jackie Moore then taunt Rhino by screaming in his face.
Crystal is backstage with Awesome Kong and Raisha Saeed as Saeed reads a prepared
statement from Kong that says she is sorry to have to destroy Salinas tonight as she
is very agitated. As for ODB and Gail Kim, they have signed a declaration of war
and their fates will be sealed at Destination X. The LAX come onto the scene and
start making sexual remarks at Saeed until Kong grabs Homicide by the throat.
Hernandez steps in and the two have a stare off that is broken up by security.
Match 5: Salinas vs. Awesome Kong
Salinas tries for some quick offense to start the match but it doesn’t get her very
far. Kong then takes over and dominates Salinas and picks up the victory with the
Awesome Bomb.
Crystal is standing by with Kong’s opposition at Destination X, ODB and Gail Kim.
Kim says that she knows Kong can be beaten and that she is weakened when she gets
knocked on her feet. From there, the better wrestler will pick up the pin fall.
Mike Tenay and Don West then run down the Destination X card and hype some house
shows as the cage is being set up around the ring for the main event.
Match 6: Christian Cage vs. Kurt Angle (Six Sides of Steel)
This match must be won by either escaping over the top of the cage or exiting
through the door. Angle works over Cage in the opening moments of the match with
some mat wrestling and tries early on to escape over the top, but Cage is able to
put a stop to that, but Angle is still able to control the match as he slams
Christian into the wall of the cage, which brings us to a commercial break.
Upon returning, Angle is trying to escape through the cage door, but Christian is
there to stop him. Angle answers back, though, by sending Christian’s head into the
steel cage a few times before locking him in a headlock. Angle then tries for an
Olympic Slam, but Cage is able to reverse the move into a DDT. Christian follows
with an inverted DDT and instead of going through the door, he tries to climb out
and then decides to hit Angle with a frog splash.
Christian then charges at Angle, but Angle is able to duck out of the way as sends
Christian flying into the cage. Angle tries to escape, but Cage is able to recover
and pull Angle down as the two begin fighting on the top rope. Christian tries to

up and the two begin fighting on the top rope again. Angle locks in the ankle lock
on the top rope, but Cage is able to get out of it by dropping down to the mat.

near the exit. Angle works on Christian’s leg a bit before trying to escape over
the top. Angle makes it over the top when Cage is finally able to stop him as he
