We open iMPACT! this week with Kaz looking for a little revenge against RelliK who assisted in Black Reign's ambush a few weeks ago.
Kaz is double teamed for most of the match with Black Reign getting in as many shots as he can from the outside. Black Reign would however be the cause of RelliK losing. Black Reign threw Darkness Falls into the ring as he got the attention of Rudy Charles. RelliK, unaware of the weapon in play continued working on Kaz & went for a pin. RelliK goes to Black Reign when the ref doesn't count. RelliK shoves Reign off the apron before pointing to the back. With Reign leaving, RelliK walks right into The Wave of the Future from Kaz for the win.
Kaz doesn't get a chance to celebrate as Black reign is quickly upon him. Kaz tries to fight off the ambush but RelliK soon makes it two on one again. Black Reign gets Darkness Falls & is about to smash the skull of Kaz when the entrance music of Booker T plays. Booker runs to the ring as RelliK & Reign run out of the ring. Is Booker T Kaz's partner?
Kaz def. RelliK in 12:01 with the Wave of the Future.
Homicide & Hernandez, the L.A.X. are backstage & not in a good mood. They give The Rock 'n' Rave Infection until Against All Odds to let Shelley Martinez go. If they don't meet the deadline, LAX have no problem getting in re-enforcements.
The next match features Eric Young looking to get some of his pride back after being cheated last week. His opponent, James Storm, couldn't handle the fast & furious approach taken by Young & needed the help of Chris Harris. Storm dropped out of the ring but Young gave chase. Young was within inches of Storm when he got smashed in the head with a beer bottle again, knocking him unconscious. Harris & Storm proceeded to beat the fallen Canadian on the outside causing Andrew Thomas to call security.
An unconscious Eric Young is announced the winner via DQ as Harris & Storm are escorted out of the arena.
Eric Young def. James Storm in 10:57 via DQ.
Backstage James Mitchell is screaming in the face of Abyss. Mitchell is telling Abyss that Judas Mesias is his superior & what happened last week wont be tolerated in the future.
Mitchell reminds Abyss that he has arranged for a match. Next week, it will be Abyss vs Rhino. Should Rhino survive & want more, at Against All Odd's he can go find a partner & face both Abyss & Mesias in a tag team Barbed Wire Massacre match.
On the way to the entrance tunnel is the Voodoo Kin Mafia. BG James looks focused but Kip doesn't. Kip stops BG & asks him about the note taking hobby he seems to have taken up. BG tells Kip not to worry about it, its for the good of both of them. Kip seems happy enough with the answer as BG continues on walking. Roxxi Laveaux stops Kip & tells him BG is hiding something.
VKM now in the ring as Samoa Joe comes out to the top of the ramp. Joe has a mic in hand & introduces his tag partner for Against All Odds. The TNA X-Division Champion, Black Machismo Jay lethal.
Kip & BG don't seem to be on the same page as they miss several double team chances. The finish comes when Kip James accidentally hits BG with a big boot. Lethal takes Kip out of the ring with a missile drop kick as Samoa Joe locks in the Cokita Clutch for the submission victory.
Lethal & Joe celebrate in ring as Kip James is apologising to his partner who isn't interested.
Jay lethal & Samoa Joe def. Voodoo Kin Mafia in 9:07 via Submission.
Back in the ring with Christian Cage & AJ Styles. Christian is feeling confidant about his chances at Against All Odds thanks to Styles victory a few weeks ago over Kurt Angle. Cage is about to name the stipulation when Jim Cornette interrupts him. Cornette informs Cage that Styles is the one making the decision, not Cage. Styles blurts out Elevation X which has Cage in disbelief. Cage argues with AJ over the decision until Kurt Angle comes out.
Angle informs us that he is not putting his career on the line for one match so Styles will have to pick something else. Cornette informs Angle that he will be stripped of the title & suspended unless he competes in Elevation X. Cage mocks Angle before Cornette lays the law down again. Cornette tells Cage that if he doesn't compete, then Cage will also be suspended & will never get another world title match. Cornette leaves despite the protests of the two men main eventing the upcoming Pay-Per-View.
Robert Roode is now in the ring. He tells us the next match is a preview of Against All Odds. Ms. Brooks interrupts Roode before he can introduce his opponent.
Ms. Brooks asks if Roode is confidant. Roode arrogantly replies with a yes. Brooks then offers to up the stakes a little more. Roode seems a little hesitant but asks Brooks what she wants to change it to. Brooks proposes that the Against All Odds stipulations be moved to tonight's match & they come up with a new one for the Pay-Per-View. Roode agrees without delay, knowing if he wins Brooks is done in TNA. Brooks asks Roode if he accepts a blind stipulation or Against All Odds. Roode accepts as he is confidant Brooks will be gone after tonight. Brooks seems happy with the quickness of his reply. Brooks tells Roode he will be doing a lot more than kissing her feet if he losses tonight, he will become her slave if he losses at Against All Odds & vice-versa for Ms. Brooks.
Roode seems to be thrown off by the confidence of Brooks, as he is slow to introduce his opponent. Shark Boy. Ms. Brooks confidence is soon replaced by nervousness.
Roode wastes little time in beating Shark Boy from corner to corner to corner. Roode hits a Pay-Off on Shark Boy but instead of pinning him invites Ms. Brooks into the ring. Roode gets a mic & offers Brooks a chance to back-out of the deal before he pins Shark Boy. Brooks doesn't reply. Roode grabs her by the hair & forces her to her knees. Mark Johnson tries to convince Roode to let go but is pushed back by Roode. Brooks hits Roode with a low blow followed by a slap across the face.
Roode stumbles back as Shark Boy goes for a school-boy pin. Johnson fast counts Roode down & awards Shark boy the surprise victory. An irate Roode chases Johnson out of the ring as Ms. Brooks goes back up the ramp with a huge smile on her face.
Shark Boy def. Robert Roode in 7:40 via pinfall.
Backstage Kurt Angle walks in on Karen Angle on her cell phone again. Karen quickly hangs up. Kurt demands to know what is going on. Karen tells him he has more important stuff to take care of. Like his world title match with Christian Cage. Karen Angle kisses Kurt on the cheek before leaving the room. Borash who as always is following Kurt agree with Karen. Kurt tells Borash to shut up & mind his own business before storming off.
The Main Event features the return to action of Gail Kim. Kim now fully recovered from her injuries at the hands of The new Women's Champion, Awesome Kong. Gail goes out like a woman possessed. ODB weather's the storm until she gets a chance to take advantage. ODB uses her strength for much of the the match while Gail tries to use her speed. The match unfortunately ends a draw. Gail Kim has ODB in a Dragon Stretch when Awesome Kong makes her way to the ring. Kong comes in behind Gail & kicks her in the head. Kong then choke slams ODB. Kong finishes off her competition with an Awesome Bomb for each.
Gail Kim vs ODB ends in a draw.
As Kong is posing with her belt, Cornette comes out clearly in a bad mood. Cornette tells Kong she isn't going to get away with taking out her competition. At Against All Odds instead of facing Gail Kim or ODB, Kong will now face both Gail Kim & ODB & anyone else Kong lays a hand on in the next few weeks. An irate Kong grabs a steel chair & heads for Jim Cornette. Cornette doesn't wait around to see what happens as he turns & runs. Matt Morgan comes out & gets in the face of Kong. After a brief stare-down, Kong drops the weapon & leaves.
