NWA TNA spoilers, according to Jonathan Lapinsky and Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com:
Pre-Taping Notes:
Marc Mero is at the taping and is scheduled to wrestle…They have an ambulance posted outside the building, so that may be for an angle…Jeremy Borash announced to the crowd that tonight was going to feature a “different” type of Xplosion….The word going around backstage was that Pat Kenney should be at this weekend’s PPV.
Dark Match:
*D-Ray 3000 & Sonjay Dutt & Shark Boy defeated Michael Shane & Alex Shelley & Kid Kash.
Impact!
*Johnny B. Badd pinned an unnamed wrestler.
*NWA champion Jeff Jarrett went to the production truck and told them to play a videotape when he said it was time. Jarrett said he was running the show.
*In the ring, Mike Tenay ran down the PPV lineup. Jeff Jarrett came to the ring with a ladder and they played the tape. The tape was Jeff Jarrett and Petey Williams attacking Jeff Hardy when he opened the door to his hotel. TNA censored the tape due to Hardy bleeding. Hardy came out to the ring and attacked Jarrett. Hardy climbed a ladder, but Jarrett knocked it over. AJ Styles and referees looked over Hardy. Team Canada came out and taunted Styles.
*Shane Douglas interviewed Michael Shane and Kazarian about a 4 corners match during Impact! where the loser would draw the first number in the Gauntlet. Douglas pulled out someone’s name out of a bucket that contained a list of the competitors for the Gauntlet and said, “Is he even in this company?”
*Abyss defeated an enhancement talent with the Black Hole Slam. Monty Brown came out and security held him back. Abyss pulled thumb tacks out of his bag. Raven cut a promo backstage about their match.
*James Storm defeated Christopher Daniels by DQ when Daniels used a chair. The Naturals and America’s Most Wanted got into a brawl. AMW laid everyone out with chairs. Triple X handcuffed them to the ringpost. Team Canada came out and watched all the tag teams fight.
*Spanky just came to the ring for his TNA debut as part of a Four Corners Match.
*Spanky defeated Kazarian, Amazing Red, and ? to earn the final slot in the TNA X-Division Gauntlet. Trinity hit Kazarian to set up Spanky’s win. I believe the fourth person was Matt Sydal but was unable to make out the name properly via telephone.
*They replayed the Scott Hall and Kevin Nash promos from the last several weeks.
*AJ Styles & Ron Killings defeated Jeff Jarrett & Petey Williams. Jeff Hardy brawled with Jarrett as they went off the air.
