A new X-Division Champion in Low-Ki and appearances from Magnus, Chris Adonis and Crimson ensured this was a solid episode of Impact, even if it felt like a disorganized Indie show at times. Problems in the backstage segments hampered the action, but overall it was a fun two hours of wrestling with plenty of new faces.
Matches:
The Latin American Xchange: Santana and Ortiz w/Konnan, Diamante and Homicide vs. Jake Holmes and Joe Coleman: Santana and Ortiz dominated and won with the Blockbuster/Powerbomb combination.
Knockouts Champion Rosemary vs. ODB: Rosemary got the hard-fought win with the F5 out of nowhere.
Kongo Kong w/Laurel Van Ness, KM and Sienna vs. Chris Silvio: Another squash as Kong won with the top-rope Splash.
TNA World Heavyweight Champion Bobby Lashley vs. James Storm: Interference from Ethan Carter III in the form of a beer bottle to the head allowed Lashley to win with the Spear.
TNA X-Division Champion Trevor Lee w/Shane Helms vs. Sonjay Dutt vs. Andrew Everett vs. Suicide vs. Dezmond Xavier vs. Low-Ki: A wild match with spots aplenty. After Everett took everyone out with the Frankenbomb, Low-Ki got the win with the Warrior’s Way to win the title.
