Leon Slater & Ricky Sosa vs. The System (Cedric Alexander & Eddie Edwards)

Slater and Sosa have been really mad at the System for insinuating that they are flavors of the week who won’t be around TNA long. Sosa has been working his way through System members, but now Slater’s got his back in this tag match.

Sosa and Edwards started things off with Edwards trying to power his way around Sosa’s quickness. Sosa overcame with a senton and Alexander flew across the ring to knock Slater off the apron.

Slater found his way back and tagged in to splash Alexander. Neither team was ale to really pick up the momentum with Slater and Sosa finding a way to counter everything The System threw at them. Alexander and Edwards had the benefit of tagging together for a long time, so they were able to read off of each other.

After a double dive, Sosa threw Edwards back into the ring for a suplex. Slater tagged in and held Edwards for Sosa to give his arm an axe handle from the top rope. Edwards found himself isolated and at the mercy of Sosa and Slater. They whipped him off the ropes for a double elbow and then a standing splash from Sosa.

Alexander tried to get involved, but it did’t phase Slater or Sosa. Alisha tried the same move, this time Edwards was able to get one over on Sosa and change the momentum of the match. Alexander and Edwards worked Sosa over with hand a foot strikes.

Alexander hung Sosa up on the ropes for both Edwards’ to give him shots behind the ref’s back. Sosa fought back with a countered suplex. He got a hot tag to Slater who cleaned house and send Edwards to the outside and dropped Alexander with one hell of a kick. Slater hit a crossbody from the top, but Edwards broke up the pin attempt.

Alexander slammed Slater with a Michinoku Driver, but could only get a two count. Sosa hit him with a missile dropkick while he was jawing at the fans. Slater went for his running uppercut, but Edwards cut him off. Sosa tosssed Edwards to the outside and Slater hit a Swanton 450 on Alexander for the win.

Winner: Leon Slater & Ricky Sosa via Pinfall.

After the match, Slater grabbed a mic and called Alxeander a bum. He said that now that he’s pinned Alexander he deserves another shot at the X-Divison Title, in a cage, at Lockdown.

TNA Knockouts Television Championship Tournament Quarterfinal Round Match
Thea Hail vs. Indi Hartwell

The first Quarterfinals match in the Knockouts TV Title Tournament featureed NXT’s Thea Hail facing off against former NXT star Indi Hartwell. M By Elegance has gotten a bye into the Semifinals due to one of last week’s matches ending in a draw.

The bell rang and Hartwell and Hail went back and forth until Hartwell knocked Hail to the outside. Hail got up on the apron and they traded uppercuts with Hartwell dragging Hail back into the ring for a two count. Hartwell grabbed an arm bar, but Hail got out of it and dropkicked Hartwell’s arm.

Hail kept working the arm, stomping and twisting Hartwell until she tried to roll Hail up to steal one. Hair went right back to the arm, countering into an arm breaker. Hail put Hartwell’s arm in a twisting lock, looking for a submission. Hartwell wouldn’t give up though, so Hail cinched it in harder.

Hartwell couldn’t get to the ropes, but finally managed to break Hail’s hold and hit her with a clothesine from her other arm. Hartwell went for a spine buster, but Hail countered it into a standing Kimura lock. Hartwell fallaway slammed her to break it.

Hail wet up top and hit Hartwell with a crossbody followed but a rolling thunder. Hartwell dodged her and tried a powerbomb, but her arm gave out on her. Hartwell dug deep and landed a Hertz Donut on Hail to win the hard-fought match and advance in the tournament to face M By Elegance.

Winner: Indi Hartwell via Pinfall.

Backstage: AJ Francis, Rich Swann, BDE

Backstage, AJ Francis approached a few production workers and passed the hat to collect funds for his pal Expressions. He ran into Rich Swann and BDE who refused to help, suggesting Francis use his own money instead.

In-Ring: KC Navarro, The System, Leon Slater, Fabien Achiner, Ricky Sosa

Back from break, KC Navarro was in the ring to address the TNA Galaxy (TM & C Jeff Moss) about his loss last week to Nic Nemeth. He acknowledged that he failed and questioned if he belonged in TNA. But then he thought about his journey, his grinding, his keeping-going and fighting and decided that he did belong.

Navarro shouted out his brothers at ringside and then talked about how you just gotta keep fighting and not quit. Navarro assured us that his story was just beginning, which brought out the System.

Alexander, Meyers, Bronson, Edwards and Alisha all made fun of him, saying no one cares about Navarro’s struggle. They literally stepped in front of Navarro and Alexander said that his answer to Leon Slater’s challenge was an emphatic NO. Edwards said that neither Sosa or Slater was worthy of a match against The System.

Navarro spoke up and said that it was his time, not theirs. He called them a bunch of bitches and The System swarmed him. That brought out Slater, Sosa and new addition but noted System-hater Fabian Aichner to even the odds. They ran the System off and I’m sure this is leading to a group match somewhere down the line.

Backstage: Allie, Darie Rae

Backstage, Allie searched frantically for Rosemary. She asked Daria Rae if she had seen her and Rae said that if she doesn’t find her in the next couple of minutes, they will forfeit the tag titles. Allie said she’d defend by herself if she had to.

Backstage: Xia Brookside, Wendy Choo, Santino Marella, Elayna Black

Back from break, TNA Knockouts Champion Xia Brookside was asked why she attacked Elayna Black and Wendy Choo last week. Essentially, noses were stuck in people’s business when they shouldn’t have been. Choo then wandered in and called Brookside a coward. They started arguing and Director of Authority Santino Marella who happened to be walking by, made a title match for the two next week.

TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship
The Elegance Brand (M & Heather By Elegance) vs. DemonXBunny (Rosemary & Allie) (c)

DemonxBunny won the titles from the Elegance Brand at Slammiversary, but now they meet for the most serious of reasons in all of wrestling: the contractual rematch! Allie couldn’t find Rosemary earlier in the show, so she may have to defend the titles on her own.

Allie started off facing M solo with no Rosemary in sight. Allie tried to quickly take out the whole Elegance Brand, but M back elbowed her and it devolved into a 2-on-1 beatdown. Commentary speculated that perhaps the Elegance Brand had something to do with the missing Rosemary.

M went to throw Heather onto Allie who got her knees up and hit them both with a double DDT. The Concierge got up on the apron with a title belt and he and Allie played tug of war with it into the ring. Allie grabbed the Concierge and raked his eyes. That brought in Mr Elegance who Allie hit with the belt.

Then Allie hit M with the belt, causing the Ref to call for the DQ.

Winner: The Elegance Brand via Disqualification.

Backstage: Jason Hotch

Backstage, Jason Hotch warmed up for his upcoming match against Mustafa Ali for the TNA International Title.

In-Ring: The Hardys, The Nemeths, Santino Marella

Back from commercial, the Hardy GOATS made their way to the ring. Jeff was wearing his Willow belt and both he and Matt had goat masks on.

Matt grabbed a mic and said that the Hardys DELETED the Righteous last week. “They might be dead,” Matt shrugged. Jeff said that the Lake of Reincarnation made him (he ran through all of his personas quickly) and now it’s time to kick some ass and spit hard truths. Matt said the lake reincarnated them as the Goats and TNA runs on Hardy Dust.

Suddenly, TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth and little brother Ryan appeared and came down to the ring. Nemeth said that he’s better than both the Hardys and Ryan said that he and Nic are the best brother tag team of all time, after all he once pinned Jeff. Ryan then made a challenge for the Tag Titles, The Hardys vs The Nemeths.

Matt accepted the match before Ryan could even finish asking and then Director of Authority Santino Marella came out. He asked the crowd if they wanted to see “The Hard Boys” vs The Nemeths. The crowd said yes and Santino made it official (which was good since Matt had already accepted). He also said that Nic would face Jeff and Ryan would face Matt next week on Impact.

Backstage: AJ Francis, Home Town Man, Elijah

Backstage, AJ Francis was still collecting money for Expressions. He asked the Hometown Man for money and he said that he hated Francis, so no. Then Elias showed up. Francis said that Expressions’ health problems were Elias’ fault so he should kick in. Elias said that it was self defence.

Francis said that he is tired of Elias’ disrespect, so how about he beats some into him in a steel cage at Lockdown. Elias said be careful what you wish for.

Backstage: Santino Marella, Daria Rae

Back from break, Daria Rae and Santino Marella talked about how great they are at making matches. So Rae made DemonxBunny Vs The Elegance Brand in a cage for Lockdown. Rae then said that they needed to trim the roster and suggested cutting Harley Hudson because she hasn’t won a match in months. Santino said “What? Come on.” Then Rae left.

TNA Knockouts Television Championship Tournament Quarterfinal Round Match
Jody Threat vs. Jada Stone

Threat defeated Gabby Forza and Stone defeated Alisha Edwards to earn this Quarterfinals match. The winner of this match will face either Mara Sade or Heather by Elegance in the Semifinals.

Threat grabbed an armbar off the top, but Stone was able to get out of it quickly. Threat had a big size and power advantage over Stone, but Stone’s quickness offset that nicely.

Threat sent Stone into the corner for some swinging blows and then suplexed her across the ring. Threat took some big shots and an insiguri before Stone sent her over the top rope. Stone charged but Threat caught her and dumped her on the ring apron.

Stone landed a killer backbreaker on Stone, but Stone fought back with a jawbreaker and a drop toe hold. Stone then landed a 619 on Threat. Stone went up top and hit a split legged moonsault on Threat for a two count.

Threat grabed Stone in a waistlock and then hit her with a pump kick and a Gernam suplex. Threat grabbed Stone and put her on her shoulders, but Stone fought out of it. She ran handsprings around Threat and then suddenly rolled her up to get the victory.

Winner: Jada Stone via Pinfall.

TNA International Championship
Jason Hotch vs. Mustafa Ali (c)

Last week, Hotch earned this opportunity after Ali asked the TNA locker room to vote on who should be #1 Contender to the International Championship. Anyone on the active roster could vote once and no one could vote for themselves. Even Hotch was surprised when he won and was about to give up the spot so’s not to cause friction in Order 4, but was convinced that he’d earned it. Ali reacted with laughter, but the match was set. Also of note, Ali has not been pinned in a one-on-one match since January.

The bell rang and they locked up with Ali getting a headlock. Ali threw Hotch off the ropes and hit him with a shoulder. Hotch scrambled back in and grabbed a headlock before Ali ducked out of it and chopped him. Ali ran circles around Hotch then took him down with a headscissor.

Hotch started fighting back, chopping Ali on the outside and driving him headfirst into the floor with a DDT. Hotch threw Ali back into the ring and went up top. He flew onto Ali with a cross body for a two count. Hotch sent Ali back out and hit him with a moonsault on the floor.

Back from commercial break, Ali and Hotch traded punches on the top turnbuckle. Ali went for the superplex, but Hotch countered it and superplexed Ali to the outside through a table, in an incredible move. Everyone was checked on by Order 4 and the medical staff and the ref started a count.

Ali got to his feet and Hotch started to stir. Ali dove into the ring and Hotch followed to beat the count at a nine. Ali went for a kick, but Hoch caught his foot. He chopped Ali to the ropes and then clotheslined him. He put Ali on his shoulders and hit a tilt-o-whirl back breaker for a two count.

Hotch went up top and threw a frog splash, but Ali moved. Ali pulled the ref into harms way and Hotch accidentally punched him. Ali then low-blowed Hotch and whipped him with a belt. Skylar then jumped up on the apron and pulled the belt from Ali’s hand. Tasha Steeles then knocked Ali’s feet off the ropes while he was trying to pin Hotch.

Order 4 fought within as Ali and Hotch fought in the ring. Ali delivered a piledriver and went up top for a 450, but somehow Hotch kicked out. Ali then missed a charge and bounced off the turnbuckle. Hotch went up top, but Ali stood up and knocked him down. Hotch pushed Ali down and hit a double stomp from the top. Then he went back up and nailed him with a splash. 1-2-3 and Jason Hotch is the new TNA International Champion.
