Greetings and Salutations! While Bob does Bob stuff, I’ll be covering TNA Impact. On this week’s show we have a shot at the X-Division title as “Speedball” Mike Bailey takes on Trent Seven. The Knockouts title will be on the line as Jordynne Grace defends against Marti Belle in what is sure to be a hard hitting affair. We also have a non-title match as TNA Tag Team The System (Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers) take on “Broken” Matt Hardy & Ryan Nemeth. With all this and more, let’s get straight to the action.

Non-title Match: Broken Matt Hardy and Ryan Nemeth VS Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers

Eddie Edwards and Matt Hardy get us started. Broken Matt Hardy has most of the control in the early part of the match, but The System comes back and is able to keep Nemeth separated from his partner as they split the ring in half. Alisha Edwards also interferes to keep the advantage with The System. Nemeth with a DDT to escape The System and tags Hardy back in the match. Hardy has full control of the match and Nemeth comes back in and hits a crossbody press from the top rope on Brian Myers for the surprise win!
