X-Division Championship: RVD (c) vs. Joey Ryan
Ryan enters without Matt Morgan and cuts a promo and says he and Morgan don't answer to anyone. He says Morgan is in the back but Ryan asked him to stay in the back. He wants to make the X-Division x-rated. RVD enters.
The bell rings and here we go. We get an early and loud "RVD" chant. RVD takes him down with a single leg and Ryan ducks in the corner. They reset and RVD hits a body scissors takedown and follows up with a spin kick. RVD hits shoulders and kicks in the corner and goes up top and hits a legdrop. RVD plays to the crowd and hangs Ryan upside down in the corner and hits a baseball slide to his face. RVD hits a monkey-flip but Ryan escapes the follow-up. RVD brings him back in and kicks him square in the face. Ryan pushes RVD off the top and onto the floor.
Ryan hits a suicide dive through the ropes and sends RVD back in for two near-falls. RVD reverses Ryan but Ryan gets his boot up in the corner. Ryan drops RVD on his head with a spike DDT but RVD kicks out. Ryan hits a Mustache Ride neckbreaker off the 2nd rope in the corner for 2. RVD turns it up with back to back clothesline and a kick. RVD hits Rolling Thunder and a standing moonsault for 2.
Ryan counters into a jawbreaker and puts his feet on the ropes for a pin but the ref sees it. RVD catches Ryan's foot and hits a kick to the head and flies off with the 5-Star Frogsplash for the win.
Winner by pin And STILL TNA X-Division Champion: RVD
After the match, Matt Morgan hits the Carbon Footprint to RVD out of nowhere on the stage and lays him out.
