TNA Impact Wrestling Results: GFW Invasion Begins, KOTM Title Match, Knockout Returns, More

Welcome to our WrestlingINC.com Live Impact Viewing Party. We will be providing live ongoing coverage of tonight's show, while you all can chime in with your thoughts throughout the show.

A recap video of Bubba's attack airs.

Jeff and Matt Hardy comes out to open the show. Matt probably needs the fashion police judging by that gaudy pink shirt. Jeff says they started out from nowhere and got to the top of the business. Jeff says Matt deserves another shot at the title. The fans chant "One more match!" Matt gets on the mic and says he will carry the business in the future. He thanks the fans for making their voices heard this week. He thanks everyone for their support and mentions his wife and new son. Ethan Carter III interrupts. Tyrus is here too.

Carter says he was a fan of the Hardy Boyz in the '90s. He says he'd like to face Matt in a match again because he remembers standing over Matt last week after beating him up badly. He mocks Jeff's broken leg and calls him a has-been. Carter says if the fans chant for Hardy, he'll get a pass, but there's a condition: If Carter wins Jeff will be forced to be his personal assistant. This sounds like they're setting up some wacky WWE-style comedy skits. Carter could easily pull it off but I don't particularly rate Jeff's comedic skills, quite frankly.

Josh and The Pope talk about the stip backstage and wonder if the siblings will go for it. The Melendez/Young match is hyped and is coming next.

We see Karen and Jeff Jarrett arrive backstage. Josh ponders about their futures in TNA.

Eric Young vs. Chris Melendez with Melendez's prosthetic leg on the line

Melendez comes out strong, attacking Young before the match has even started. Young fights back with his stomps and uses the ropes as a weapon. The fans are chanting "USA! USA! USA!" Young is already trying to take Melendez's leg. Melendez pulls off the jaw jawker and neckbreaker then with a sit out slam. He gets a two from a schoolboy. Young hits a cradle with his feet on the match. You'd have thought this bout would have been much longer, to be honest.

Winner: Eric Young

Young demands Melendez's leg. The fans are furious. Chris duly removes it and hands it over. Young mocks him and laughs manically. This was all rather tasteless, unsurprisingly. I'm not sure what the point of this whole angle even is. On commentary, Pope is appalled.

We get an X division promo. The X title match is next.

Tigre Uno vs. DGZ vs. Sonjay Dutt

The three guys have a staredown. Uno and Zema have a lock up. Zema dropkicks Tigre out of the ring and onto the floor. Dutt hits a rana on Zema. He sends Zema outside and does a dive on both guys with a summersault senton. Getting back into the ring, Uno goes after DJZ with some chops and hits the moonsault to get a two count. He misses a twisting corkscrew spot and DJZ counters with a suplex and his finishing move but can only gets a two. Sonjay gets back and hits a powerbomb on DJZ. Dutt and Zema fight in the ring with clotheslines and superkicks. Dutt gains the advantage on Zema with a cool double kick. Then Uno sends Dutt out of the ring and hits a dropkick, suplex and springboard frog splash on DJZ to retain his belt.

Winner and still X division champion: Tigre Uno

We see James Storm backstage. He lays down the law to Abyss and Manik. He says Sheera is gone from The Revolution. Storm insists on full loyalty from Manik...or else. He tells them to win title gold.

Manik and Abyss vs. Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards

Richards and Abyss start things off. Abyss dominates. Edwards tags in and tries to out-quick the monster. The fans are heavily behind the Wolves here. Edwards and Richards hit a double armdrag on Manik. Abyss goes after Richards. Manik gets him and hits some suplexes. He tags to Abyss. Eddie comes in and starts chopping everyone in sight. Eddie hits a backpack stunner and Abyss breaks it up. The wolves go after him with a double dropkick. Storm tries to interfere to help his buddies. He starts going after Richards but then Sheera comes down and beats him up. Eddie and Davey hit the powerbomb/backpacker for the win.

Winner: Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards

The KOs match between Velvet Sky and Brooke Adams is hyped up. We see Jeff Hardy walking with a purpose. A clip for the KOs official TNA calendar airs.

Jeff announces that his brother will fight EC3 for the world belt next week and if Matt loses he will agree to be Carter's assistant. He says he knows Matt can beat Carter and win so Carters silly stipulation doesn't matter anyway. Dixie is backstage, looking anxiously as her phone.

Velvet comes out for her match as footage of her and Gail attacking Taryn last week airs. We learn that they broke Taryn's finger. Wow, what nice and honorable babyfaces they are.

Velvet Sky vs. Brooke Adams

Short match. Things spilled out to the outside and The Dollhouse came down to attack before anything really got going. Rebel came back and turned on Velvet as Taryn announced on the big screen she was the newest member of the Dollhouse.

Winner by DQ: Velvet Sky

Backstage Bobby Roode says he will prove to Dixie, Jeff and everyone else in TNA why he has the IT factor. Anderson talks about the KOTM match too and says he could talk about how amazing he is but instead will just show it. Backstage Galloway looks agitated about something.

Mr. Anderson vs. Bobby Lashley vs. James Storm vs. Bobby Roode

Lashley and Roode brawl on the ramp while James Storm and Mr Anderson get into it on the floor. Roode goes for a slam but Lashley hits a suplex on him. Storm slams Anderson into the apron. Anderson counters by hitting his head on the steps. Anderson and Lashley double team Storm for a while. They throw him outside of the ring. Anderson and Lashley appear to be working together...for now, at least. You know that won't last. James Storm and Bobby Roode fight back, with Storm beating up Anderson. Lashley hits Roode with some clotheslines. Mic check on Roode but Storm manages to break it up. Storm attacks Anderson but Anderson grabs him for the mic check. Lashley hits a spear on Anderson. I know that one wouldn't last. Anderson is tossed outside. Lashley goes for the spear on Roode but Storm interrupts with the superkick and goes for the pin on Lashley. Roode breaks it up and him and Storm bicker. Anderson comes back in and they double team him. Storm and Roode face off with the crowd chanting "Beer Money." Storm is going for the Last Call but Roode is able to catch it and hits the Roodebomb to win the match.

Winner: Bobby Roode

Dixis is on her way out. Will Jeff be running TNA now?

Dixie Carter comes out. She talks about how to run a successful company. Insert your own joke, there. She wants Jeff to come to the ring. Jeff thanks Dixie for giving him the chance to come back to the company he founded. He tells Dixie the GFW-TNA relationship can help both promotions. She agrees that together a Carter/Jarrett team can accomplish a lot.

Suddenly Drew comes out. He tells Dixie that there's something she needs to know. Cue dramatic music as we head to commercial.

After doing some detective work and looking at CCTV footage, Drew aka Sherlock Holmes tells Dixie that, shocker, Jarrett was the one who attack him and Bully Ray. Did anyone not see that one coming? He says one of the getaway rental cars on the video clip was registered to Jarrett. Jeff swears blind he is innocent in the matter. Then Karen claims it was her: She did it for Jeff. She did it for The Rock. Then Jeff attacks Drew. Then GFW guys attack Drew too. The TNA guys, including Spud, The Wolves and Robbie E, run down and they all get into a huge brawl. GFW get the upper hand and end up standing tall in the ring. A horrified Josh bemoans how TNA made a huge mistake in inviting these people into TNA and Jarrett's theme plays to end the programme. I don't know if this angle can save the company but it's quite interesting at least.
