With the Moose/Bobby Lashley feud set to be the main event at Bound for Glory and the Impact Wrestling Grand Champion Tournament heating up, as well as  the return of Ethan Carter III, this week’s Impact was a decent one decent a real lack of intrigue in the ring.
Overall, it was the Hardy Boys tat saved the day again with some solid promo and vignettes.
Matches:
Impact Wrestling Grand Champion Tournament: Trevor Lee vs. Aron Rex: Lee was aggressive, but Rex got the win with a Spinning Fist in round two.
Empty Arena, No Turnbuckle Pad Match: Braxton Sutter vs. Rockstar Spud: Sutter destroyed Sutter for the majority of the match until Spud hit a Low Blow. Sutter eventually rebounded and slammed Spud’s face against an exposed turnbuckle. After the match, Spud spit up obviously fake blood.
Knockouts Gauntlet Match for Shot at Knockouts Title at Bound For Glory: Jade vs. Madison Rayne vs. Gail Kim vs. Laurel Van Ness vs. Marti Bell vs. Sienna vs. Raquel: Van Ness was solid in her first match in TNA and made it to the final three, with Sienna and Kim. After Kanellis and Allie hit the ring, Allie accidentally pulled the ropes down to allow Kim to throw Van Ness over the top.Sienna then went for the Silencer, but Kim countered the Eat Defeat for the win.
Impact Wrestling Grand Champion Tournament: Eddie Edwards vs. Muhabali Shera: Edwards got the win in round three with the Single Leg Crab.
