Jason Hotch vs. Laredo Kid

The show opens up with Jason Hotch coming to the ring with Tasha Steelz. He settles inside the squared circle for the first match of the evening. His opponent, Laredo, comes out to a nice pop from the Vegas crowd. The bell sounds to get things started.

Hotch takes the early lead, overpowering Laredo and blasting him with chops in the corner. Laredo begins fighting back, landing a big kick and a neckbreaker. He heads to the top-rope and connects with a missile dropkick that sends Hotch to the floor.

Laredo follows up with a head-first dive through the ropes to the floor for the first loud “TNA! TNA!” chant of the evening. In the ring, Laredo hits a twisting senton off for a two-count. Hotch hits a rolling neckbreaker, Mustafa Ali-style, for a two-count of his own.

Laredo fights back, takes Hotch up to the middle rope and hits a Super Michinoku Driver for a close two-count. Fans chant “Uno Mas! Uno Mas!” but Laredo does not oblige, opting instead to blast Hotch with kicks. Hotch fights back and hits a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker for a two-count.

Hotch suddenly gets randomly paranoid about Mike Santana possibly being under the ring. He looks under the ring skirt as Tasha yells at him to focus. Laredo takes over, hits his finisher off the ropes for the pinfall victory.

Winner: Laredo Kid via Pinfall.

Backstage: Leon Slater

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Leon Slater. She mentions his match in the main event of tonight’s Countdown to Unbreakable edition of TNA Impact, as well as his Ultimate X match coming up at Rebellion.

Slater talks about how nice it sounds to possibly be the TNA X-Division Champion. He doesn’t want to get ahead of himself, however, as he’s got business to deal with tonight. He remembers being hit with The System ring, but he’s grown since then and is a different animal.

He tells Brian Myers his focus is on beating his arse tonight and then, and only then, will he focus on becoming the TNA X-Division Champion at Rebellion.

Backstage: Santino Marella, Cody Deaner

When the show returns, Santino Marella is backstage when he is approached by Cody Deaner, who brings up his TNA contract expiring soon. He asks him to help him out. He says it’s not all about wins and losses, it’s about entertainment and the fans.

He brings up being close to nearly pinning the X-Division Champion Moose. He says that’s got to count for something. Santino tells him he can face KC Navarro in an Ultimate X qualifying match. If he wins that and wins Ultimate X, he’s got a good case to make to get Deaner’s contract extended. Deaner thanks him and heads off.

Jazmyn Nyx vs. Xia Brookside

Inside the Impact Zone, the Fatal Influence trio from WWE NXT make their way to the ring. Jazmyn Nyx will be in action in the next match of the evening. Her opponent, Xia Brookside, makes her way out next accompanied by Lei Ying Lee.

The bell sounds to get things started. Nyx takes the early offensive lead, dominating Brookside and verbally taunting her all-the-while. Brookside starts to fight back, but in a Rocky II moment, they land a big kick at the same time that knocks the other down.

Brookside takes over from there, but as she nears a victory, hell breaks loose at ringside with Jacy Jane and Fallon Henley causing a distraction at ringside. Rosemary comes out and mists them, seemingly unexpectedly helping Brookside, who rolls Nyx up in the ring seconds later for the win.

Winner: Xia Brookside via Pinfall.

TNA X-Division Championship Ultimate X Qualifying Match
KC Navarro vs. Cody Deaner

When the show returns, KC Navarro of First Class makes his way down to the ring. He settles inside to boos from the crowd. Cody Deaner is out next with a microphone in-hand. He talks about his job being on-the-line in this match.

Navarro ends up offering Deaner to take a $500 cash bribe to walk away and forfeit the match. He slaps each $100 on his chest for each of his four kids, and the fifth for his “misses.” Deaner says it’s not up to him if he leaves, but the people.

The people decide they want him to kick Navarro’s ass. He punches him and the match is off and running on that note. Navarro quickly fights back and takes over. Deaner eventually fights back and connects with his spinning TKO.

As Deaner seemed to have things won, Navarro wraps his chain around his fist and knocks out Deaner for the cheap victory.

Winner: KC Navarro via Pinfall.

With the win, Navarro has qualified for the Ultimate X match at Rebellion.

Backstage: KC Navarro

When the show returns from a break, a digital exclusive interview with KC Navarro gloating about qualifying for Ultimate X is shown.

Maggie Lee & Heather By Elegance vs. Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley

Inside the Impact Zone, George Iceman is on the microphone in the ring, introducing the crowd to Maggie Lee. He calls her an average farm girl. He brings out someone who is elegant, and that is Heather By Elegance. Their opponents, NXT duo Gigi Dolin and Tatum Paxley come out next.

Dolin and Lee kick things off for their respective teams. Dolin takes the early offensive lead over Lee. Lee eventually finds enough time to try and make a tag, but Heather refuses to take it. Eventually, Heather does get involved, hitting a double-team spot behind the referee’s back as Iceman provided a distraction.

In the end, however, it wasn’t enough, as two of NXT’s finest hit a double collision on Heather into a Sanitary Drive for the pinfall victory. With the win, they score a pinfall over one-half of the TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Champions, which the commentators emphasize on the broadcast.

Winner: Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley via Pinfall.

Backstage: Personal Concierge, Maggie Lee, Heather By Elegance, Meta-Four, Spitfire, Gigi Dolin, Tatum Paxley

Backstage, The Meta Four, Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley and Spitfire all confront Heather By Elegance, Maggie Lee and George Iceman stating their claims for deserving TNA Knockouts Tag-Team title shots, after Heather and Iceman were already freaking out about Ash By Elegance learning of their loss tonight.

As all the teams are yelling at them, Heather panics and offers all of them a title match in a four-way. “Just stop yelling at me!” They’re all happy and leave. Iceman panics even more at the thought of Ash learning about this now as well.

Jakara Jackson vs. Dani Luna

Inside the Impact Zone, The Meta Four duo of Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend head to the ring for the next match. As they do, Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt confirm on commentary that the four-way TNA Knockouts Tag-Team title match mentioned earlier is now confirmed for Rebellion.

Dani Luna comes out accompanied by Jody Threat and then the bell sounds for one-on-one action, with Jackson taking on Luna. Jackson immediately settles into the early offensive lead as the commentators spend several minutes ignoring the match to focus on the four-way title announcement.

The referee sees Lash Legend try and get involved one time too many, so she ejects her from ringside. Legend basically refuses to leave at first. Security and other referees come out but she knocks out the security. She ends up leaving anyways. A few minutes later, Luna picks up the pinfall victory.

Winner: Dani Luna via Pinfall.

In-Ring: Elijah

When the show returns, a big grand introduction is made for Elijah. He appears in the ring with his guitar strapped over his shoulder. He sings one song and then plays to the crowd a bit. He then sings another song dissing Frankie Kazarian as the crowd claps along. “In TNA we Walk This Way!”

He goes on to issue the first-ever “Who Wants To Walk With Elijah” open challenge for TNA Rebellion on April 27 in Los Angeles, California. He mentions the challenge being extended to anyone from any company, whether they’re a legend or a new guy trying to make a name.

Backstage: “All Ego” Ethan Page

The Countdown to Unbreakable special episode of TNA Impact returns from commercial break to a special digital exclusive interview with Ethan Page. He talks about only having to focus on Joe Hendry in ten days. He knows Hendry’s arm is worse than he is letting on.

Brian Myers vs. Leon Slater

Inside the Impact Zone, Brian Myers makes his way to the ring for the final match of the evening in St. Joseph, MO., before things switch over to Las Vegas, NV. Because of this, the commentators point out none of his brothers in The System are here tonight to help him.

The rising rookie prospect Leon Slater makes his way out next to a good pop from the crowd. He settles inside the squared circle and the bell sounds to get things started. Slater goes to work on Myers with an assortment of kicks to take the early offensive lead.

Slater knocks Myers to the outside. He nearly does his dive over the ring post spot, but pumps the breaks as he notices Myers seeing it coming. Myers takes over when the match returns in the ring, focusing his attack on the knee and leg of “The Youngest in Charge.”

He ends up blasting him with The System ring for the cheap win.

Winner: Brian Myers via Pinfall.
