After an emotion filled IMPACT! last week, TNA was back live tonight with one of its most anticpated nights. Would AJ get revenge for Karen for last week's ending? Will Jay Lethal make good on his promise to deliver some redemption? Will Samoa Joe and Kevin Nash patch things up?
This is the TNA IMPACT! Recap.
As the show opens, Jay Lethal is @ The Pink Taco calling out Sonjay Dutt for a fight. Also, scenes are shown of last week's broadcast.
Opening Bout: Booker T defeats BG James
Booker T wasted no time in this contest as he attack James outside the ring before the bell rang. After the brutality on the outside, Booker rolls him into the ring and continues the assault. As James tries to fight back, Booker levels him with knees and spinning martial arts kicks.
He follows it up with a headlock as TNA World Champion Samoa Joe looks on in the back. As BG starts to fight back, it's too little too late as Booker lands the Scissors Kick to end the match and pick up the win.
In the back, Kevin Nash and Samoa Joe are having another confrontation. Following some heated words from Joe, Nash accepts the Champ's challenge to face Booker T next week on IMPACT!
Back from commercial, Mike Tenay and Don West give us a preview of this year's World X Cup.
Second Bout: Team TNA defeats Team International (World X Cup)
Team captain Daivari and Tyson Dux represent Team International while the Motor City Machine Guns represent Team TNA in this World X Cup match. Dux and Alex Shelley start this match trying to figure each other out. Following a double team on Dux, the Guns have the early advantage as Daivari comes in and gets squashed by his partner via a rope launch from Chris Sabin.
Shelley comes in and continues the assault but Daivari's interference gives Team International the advantage. Shelley counters into a back suplex and gets the tag to Sabin. Sabin has complete control until an interference from Daivari gives his team control once more. In the meantime, AJ Styles is taking out Tomko in the locker room with everything in sight.
Back from break, Team International has the advantage, but Sabin recovers and tags in Shelley. Shelley comes in and cleans house. After Shelley hits the DDT and Frog Splash on Daivari, Sabin enters and helps his partner, but Dux drops the Brainbuster. But Shelley hits the Sliced Bread on Daivari for the win and the points for Team TNA.
Outside, Styles is continuing his Revenge Tour as he takes out who he thought was Kurt Angle. But it turned out to be the UFC's Ultimate Waste of Space, Frank Trigg. Oh well. No one will lose sleep tonight.
Back on IMPACT!, Tenay and West are interviewing Karen Angle about her future with TNA. She makes it crystal clear that she will not be intimidated by Kurt, and she will be back in the IMPACT! Zone next week.
IMPACT! returns with scenes from the aftermath of last week's tag title match. Back in the Zone, Jim Cornette is introducing LAX to the ring. LAX then issues a challenge to Roode and Storm to a Fan's Revenge Match at Victory Road. Cornette then asks for the opponents to come out, but instead of Roode and Storm, Jacqueline comes out.
She spends the entire time egging on a fight with Salinas, which Cornette makes official for later tonight.
