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.
Ethan Carter opens the show. He gloats about firing Jeff Hardy last week. The crowd is booing him viciously. He says now he's focused on Drew Galloway, the new No.1 contender. He calls out Dixie and she comes out. She says her nephew is good in the ring but should be ashamed of his outside-of-the-ring behavior. She wants Drew to win because he saved TNA from Jarrett. Carter says he warned her about Jarrett. He says doesn't care what she wants and says he will beat Drew and retain his belt. Drew comes out. He trashes Carter and tells him to shut his mouth. He says he lead Team TNA to victory over GFW at Lethal Lockdown and he intends to rip Carter apart to get the World title. Carter laughs at him and they have a big staredown.
Storm does an interview for his NODQ match with Shera. He blames him for the end of The Revolution. He says the buzzards have a right to eat. So he's Bray Wyatt, now?
Ethan Carter the Third confronts his aunt backstage. He reminds her that he's the franchise guy. Not Drew. He vows to end Drew's career at BFG.
James Storm vs. Shera in a NODQ match.
Wouldn't it have been better saving this match for the PPV? We start things with brawling in the aisle. Shera dominates Storm to start things off but Storm hits a big low to get the advantage. Storm brings steel chairs from under the ring into the match. He slams Shera through the chairs but can only get a two. Storm grabs a beer bottle and tries to use it on Shera. The ref gets beer in the eye from Storm and is down. Shera hits his finisher on Storm but no one is around to do the three-count. Storm gets the cowbell and smashes Shera in the head with it. He sends him through a table. But Shera somehow kicks out? Abyss and Manik come out. They go after Storm after some teasing. Abyss hits the black hole slam and Manik does his frogsplash. Shera hits the Sky High for the win.
