TNA iMPACT starts … NOW!
Ash & Heather By Elegance vs. Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley
Ash and Heather by Elegance settle inside the squared circle for the opening contest, the entrance tune for their opposition hits. Out comes WWE NXT duo Gigi Dolin and Tatum Paxley. The bell sounds and non-title Knockouts tag-team action gets underway. Ash and Dolin kick things off for their respective teams. “The Liaison” between WWE NXT and TNA, Arianna Grace, is on special guest commentary for this one. Ash talks some trash out of the gate, and gets dumped on her noggin’ by Doin for her efforts. Paxley tags in and hits a picture-perfect dropkick for a two-count. Heather tags in as well, and she ends up shifting the offensive momentum into her team’s favor. As she takes over control in the ring, another WWE NXT duo, Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend, are shown watching on via a monitor backstage. After Paxley lands some Kawada-style rapid-fire kicks, Dolin tags in. Heather immediately takes over, however, and tags in Ash, who picks up where she left off, putting the boots to Dolin in the corner. She tags Heather back in, and she blasts a groggy Dolin with some big forearm shots. Heather backs up and charges at Dolin, but runs into a big boot. She tags Paxley in. Ash tags in as well. It is Paxley, however, who takes the hot tag and comes in with a ton of energy, taking it to Ash. She hits a big suplex and a standing elbow drop for a close two-count. Iceman pushes Paxley off the top turnbuckle, which the referee doesn’t see. Heather gets involved as well, which sets Ash up for the top-rope Rarified Air finisher for the pinfall on Paxley, giving her team the win. Afterwards, the Elegance duo’s beefcake brings their cake over, but Dolin and Paxley shove their faces in it.
Winners: Ash & Heather By Elegance
First Class & Frankie Kazarian vs. Aztec Warriors & Chavo Guerrero Jr.
Following a brief Gia Miller backstage interview with Leon Slater about his match later tonight against Nic Nemeth, the show heads to the first commercial break of the evening. When the show returns, First Class duo AJ Francis and KC Navarro make their way to the ring for the next match of the evening. Their partner, “The King of TNA” Frankie Kazarian, comes out next. Their opponents, The Aztec Warriors duo of Laredo Kid and Octagon Jr. come out next, along with their partner, Chavo Guerrero Jr., who gets a big pop coming out, and he kicks things off for his team. Kazarian does the same for his. Chavo establishes the early offensive lead, and the crowd is loving it. All hell breaks loose moments later, as all six end up in the ring. The Aztec Warriors and Chavo hit high spots as the show heads to a mid-match commercial break. When the show returns, First Class takes over after Navarro pulls some behind-the-referee’s back shenanigans. Francis takes over and taunts the crowd. Octagon tries fighting back, but Francis splashes him in the corner. Francis hits the World’s Strongest double-slam on Laredo Kid and Octagon Jr. simultaneously for a close two-count, as the pin is broken up. Navarro tags in and picks up where Francis left off, taking it to one-half of the Aztec Warriors. Laredo Kid eventually gets the hot tag for his team, and he immediately shifts the offensive momentum back in his team’s favor. The crowd comes to life in the background. Navarro and Kazarian try and double-team him, but he ends up handling them both by himself. Fans chant “We want Chavo!” And Laredo obliges. Chavo gets the tag and the crowd explodes as he hops over the ropes and goes to work. The pro wrestling legend hits any-and-everything that moves, easily handling Francis, Navarro and Kazarian single-handedly. Chavo hits the Three Amigos on Navarro as fans chant “Eddie! Eddie!” Kazarian stops him before he can hit the third, so he takes over and hits two of the Three Amigos on him instead. When he goes for the third on him, Francis cuts him off. Francis does the Eddie Guerrero shoulder-shimmy to taunt the crowd, but Chavo makes him pay for it. He hits the Three Amigos on him, and isn’t stopped before completing all three on the big man. The crowd loved it and immediately broke out in a loud “Eddie! Eddie!” chant. The Aztec Warriors go to the top on the same corner and hit a double-dive onto Francis and Kazarian on the floor. Chavo hits the Gory Bomb on Navarro in the ring. He then heads to the top-rope and hits the Eddie Guerrero Frogsplash for the win.
Winners: The Aztec Warriors & Chavo Guerrero Jr.
Sami Callihan & Mance Warner In A War Of Words
A Rosemary vignette in a very Rosemary-style, airs, and then a war of words between Mance Warner and Sami Callihan takes place. Santino Marella points out how both are handcuffed and there are a ton of security present to ensure nothing physical happens. The two sit on opposite sides of a table, with Steph De Lander on Warner’s side, and they speak their respective pieces. De Lander also speaks up and they talk about possession being nine-tenths the law when discussing their TNA Digital Media Championship. Santino Marella speaks up and says they need to promise not to damage anymore company property or put any civilians in danger. Sami calls De Lander a skank. She throws a drink in his face, which he can’t cover due to his hands being cuffed. Santino yells at them to leave. Warner and De Lander profess their love for each other and share a sloppy kiss while doing exactly that.
Jacy Jane vs. Masha Slamovich
Jacy Jane makes her way out and heads to the ring for the second TNA vs. WWE NXT showdown of the evening. Jane settles inside the squared circle and her music dies down. The theme for her opposition hits, and out comes the reigning TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich. Tom Hannifan mentions on commentary that she is over 100 days for her current run with the title. After the bell sounds, Jane does a snarky wave to Slamovich from the opposite corner, before charging at her. The two lock up and push-and-pull on the ropes all around the ring. They continue their lock-up back in the center and Slamovich slams Jane down. Jane locks back up on the mat and they roll around without breaking it. They stand back up, and Jane yanks Slamovich back down to the mat by her hair. Slamovich takes back over and hits a big kick and sends Jane out to the floor. She hits a dive through the ropes onto Jane at ringside. Moments later, a similar situation presents itself, however this time when Slamovich goes for a big dive through the ropes to the floor, she is met with a big shot from Jane. After a big follow-up from Jane, she looks into the camera and vows that she’s going to take over TNA. On that note, the show heads into a mid-match commercial break as Jane adds to her offensive lead back inside the ring. When the show returns, Slamovich begins fighting from underneath back into competitive form. Jane goes for a punt kick from the ring apron to Slamovich on the floor. Slamovich blocked it and pulled Jane onto her shoulders. She slams her front-ways face-first onto the ring apron from the floor. Back inside the ring, Slamovich builds on her offensive lead en route to hitting a Snow Plow for the pinfall victory. After the match, Tessa Blanchard, who was banned from ringside during the bout, runs out and beats down Slamovich until Xia Brookside and Lei Ying Lee run out to make the save.
Winner: Masha Slamovich
Eric Young vs. Ace Austin
A vignette airs showing Mike Santana being out for revenge on Mustafa Ali. Back inside the Impact Zone, the theme for Eric Young hits. He makes his way out to the ring with The Northern Armory duo of Travis Williams and Judas Icarus. Young settles inside the squared circle for a first-time-ever singles showdown against Ace Austin in the next match of the evening. After Young’s music dies down, the ABC entrance tune hits to bring out his opponent. He joins him in the ring and the bell sounds to get things started. The two lock-up and Young establishes the early offensive lead, focusing on attempting to isolate the arm of Austin and work it over. He stops and looks directly into the camera to send a message to Steve Maclin. The Northern Armory get involved behind the referee’s back and Young continues to dominate. Young continues to tie the referee up to allow The Northern Armory duo at ringside to inflict additional damage to Austin behind the official’s back. The commentary duo of Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt sell home the fact that it is Young proving to Maclin what true trust looks like. Austin begins fighting back. He hits Click-Click-Boom to shift the offensive momentum in his favor. He climbs up on Young in the corner and hits the ten-punch sequence, with the fans counting along with each shot that lands. Austin hits a signature move for a close two-count. Austin comes closer and closer to finishing Young off, but ultimately another dastardly demonstration of what true trust looks like from Young and The Northern Armory duo lead to Young taking over again. Young hits a big piledriver to finish Austin off for the win.
Winner: Eric Young
Joe Hendry, Elijah & Frankie Kazarian Sing And Fight
The show returns to the familiar sounds of the smash viral hit, “I Believe in Joe Hendry.” With that said, the crowd comes alive and sings along as the TNA World Champion makes his way to the ring in his trademark silky-blue button-up shirt. His music dies down and the “We Believe!” chants pick up. Hendry begins, “Say his name, and he appears. Your TNA World Champion is here in El Paso, Texas! And it was right here in Texas that I became the champ, and now everybody wants to know what is next for the TNA World Championship.” Hendry reminds everyone he is willing to defend his title against anyone from any company, all someone has to do is pick up the phone and tell Santino Marella they want a shot at the champion. The familiar sounds of the guitar strum of Elijah is heard after he says that. Elijah comes to the ring and tells Hendry he is not coming out here because he is the next title challenger. He assures the champ that he too “believes in Joe Hendry.” Elijah assures him he can trust him. He says they’ve become friends. He knows Hendry’s favorite color is blue and that he likes classic movies. He then goes on to suggest he perform the favorite song of Hendry from a movie he loves, Toy Story. He suggests they sing “You’ve Got A Friend In Me.” Elijah begins singing, Randy Newman-voice-and-all. The crowd sings along. Everyone is into it, so of course, Frankie Kazarian comes out to break up the fun. Kazarian heads to the ring insisting no one wants to see “this Hall and Oats nonsense.” He settles inside the squared circle with a guitar of his own strapped around himself. He tells Hendry and Elijah they are legitimately accomplished musicians, but everybody knows “real men play bass guitar.” Kazarian plays La Cucaracha on his bass for the El Paso crowd, who responds with loud “You suck!” chants. Kazarian plays another offensive song aimed at ridiculing the local crowd, and he gets the reaction one would expect for doing so. Hendry stands up for the crowd and tells Kazarian it’s time he leave. Kazarian speaks up and tells Hendry he knows he doesn’t trust Elijah, and tells Elijah that he knows he secretly hates Hendry’s guts. He tells them they need to be men for once and skip past all the nonsense and just beat the crap out of each other now. They beat up Kazarian instead, and then sing “Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye.”
