Monsters Ball Match
“The Monster” Abyss vs. Bram
Bram hits the ring with a kendo stick and swings it at Abyss, but Abyss ducks and exchanges right hands with Bram. Abyss whips Bram into the corner and then runs into a boot from the Brit. Abyss answers with a series of clotheslines followed by a Splash in the corner. Abyss clotheslines Bram over the top to the floor and takes the brawl to ringside as a “we want tables” chant starts up. Bram and Abyss take turns slamming each other into the steps and then Abyss whips Bram hard into the steps. Abyss tosses weapons in the ring as Bram rolls back in. Abyss grabs a chair as the fans chant for blood and wedges the chair in between turnbuckles. Bram hits Abyss with a trashcan repeatedly and then goes to the floor and pulls out a board covered in barbed wire! Bram places the barbed wire board in a corner and then attempts to whip Abyss into it, but Abyss blocks it and tosses Bram into another corner. Abyss charges at him but Bram blatantly kicks him the balls and then goes back to the floor and retrieves a spare turnbuckle from under the ring. Bram goes to hit Abyss with it but Abyss hits him in the balls with a cheese grater! Abyss goes or a Chokeslam but Bram fights out with some nasty elbows. Bram attempts to whip Abyss into the turnbuckle where Abyss set up the chair earlier, but Abyss reverses it and Bram attempts a float over but Abyss saw it coming.
As Bram lands on the mat Abyss grabs him by the head and slams him into the chair! Abyss pulls out Janice and attempts a murder but Bram moves out of the way and Janice gets stuck on the top turnbuckle. Bram goes to hit Abyss with a chair but Abyss sends the chair into Bram’s face via his elbow. Abyss’ elbow is busted open pretty bad after that spot. Abyss pulls out a bag of tacks and pours it out on the mat! Bram hits Abyss with a kendo stick repeatedly literally breaking the stick. Abyss comes back with an attempt at a Chokeslam but Bram blocks it and then pulls Janice off of the turnbuckle. Bram goes to hit Abyss with it but Abyss blocks it and Chokeslams Bram into the tacks! A huge “TNA” chant breaks out as Bram rolls around in pain on the mat! Abyss grabs Janice but Magnus runs out and snatches it away from Abyss. Abyss lays Magnus out but then Bram Spears Abyss into the barbed wire board! The slow motion replay actually showed several of the tacks popping out of Bram’s back as he hit the Spear in a cool visual. The barbed wire is literally stuck to the back and head of Abyss as he tries to get up. Bram grabs Janice again and hits Abyss in the gut with it! 1…2…3!
Winner: Bram via pinfall
Bram taunts Abyss and leaves the ring with Janice in hand.
Backstage Joe says that he exemplifies what the X-Division is all about and that fans tune into TNA for the X-Division. He says the X-Division was always about no limits and then Low-Ki approaches him and says he and Joe have been through plenty of wars and shear violence. He says many of those wars were simply for pain and violence but now they have a prize for the winner. Ki says that Joe and Sanada in his way and neither will stop him from winning back the X-Division Title. Joe says that he knows Ki thinks he is prepared but he can never be prepared for him. Joe says the next time that Ki hears Joe’s name it will be right after he hears “the NEW X-Division Champion of the world” and walks away.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
In the back EC3 is interviewed along with his boys. He says that he and his army are the unsung heroes of ECW. EC3 hypes up Snitsky and Rycklon calling them the true ECW. EC3 says this is war and they are in hell now, and that Dixie will NEVER be put through a table.
MVP and his “Franchise Players” make their way down to the ring surrounded by beautiful women. Footage of the great title match last week is shown as they come to the ring. MVP says that when he was the Director of Operations he felt like a babysitter because of all the crybaby wrestlers he had to deal with. He says as long as they control the World Title he has all the power with none of the headaches. MVP says that Lashley will be the TNA World Champion for years and goes through the lists of victims as the fans taunt them. MVP taunts the crowd back and says there is no one left for Lashley to destroy, but Bobby Roode comes out and interrupts him.
Roode comes out to a big “Bobby” chant and he says that he was sitting in the back listening to the words coming out of MVP’s mouth, and as much as it pains him to admit some of the things he is saying are true. MVP agrees and says everything was true like Bobby being a “whiny, crybaby, sissy.” Roode says that Lashley is a “Destroyer” and that he has defeated some of the best wrestlers in the world. Roode says that in his eyes Lashley is one of the most dominant World Champions to ever hold that belt in TNA. Roode says he isn’t out there to talk to MVP, he is here to talk to Lashley. He reminds Lashley that he was the longest reigning World Champion in TNA history and he knows what it means and takes to be a World Heavyweight Champion. Roode says that MVP knew that and that is why he sent Roode hope on a suspension for nearly two months. Roode says that MVP knew he was a threat and he reminds Lashley that the plan originally was for MVP to be the champion until he blew out his knee. Roode says that MVP was going to use Lashley to get what he wanted, but MVP tells Roode to shut up and stop trying to stir things up.
Roode says that Lashley has been dominating as champion but he has been doing some dominating himself. Roode says he kicked both MVP and King’s asses and Lashley has never beaten Roode. Roode gets in Lashley’s face and then challenges Lashley to a title match. King cheap shots Roode and the Franchise Players beat Roode down in the ring.
Eric Young hits the ring along with Austin Aries and they chase off the Franchise Players. MVP says they aren’t dressed to fight tonight, they are dressed to have fun. “Y’all three play with each other while we go play with these hoes,” MVP says.

Backstage 3D and Dreamer talk about who their partner is going to be tonight, but Bully says they aren’t dumb enough to let it slip who their partner is. He says that this person has had their back since day one and Dreamer says he can’t believe that Bully got this person out of retirement. Tenay jokes that it is Taz.

A video hyping up BFG in Japan is shown.
The Beautiful People come out and Angelina says that she couldn’t help but notice that TNA is going “gaga” over Terrell and Gail. She says that the BP are way hotter and she is a way better wrestler than them both. She says that no one should care that she broke up Terrell-Gail III and she is the one that deserves all the attention and her rematch for the title. She says she wants the rematch right now but Terrell comes out instead.
Angelina asks if Terrell hasn’t stolen enough from her already that she has to try to steal her spotlight too. Terrell says she hasn’t stolen anything from Angelina but Angelina stole her title shot by getting involved in her match with Gail. Terrell says she has never been Knockouts Champion and she and Gail have a mutual respect with each other. She says that Angelina stole their chance to find out who the best Knockout is. Angelina says she can clear the question up right now, she is better than both of them. The fans are really messing with them with various chants. Angelina stops the “what” chants by taunting the crowd. Angelina says there is a pecking order in the Knockouts so Terrell can just walk home and tell her little baby that momma is just going to have to settle for being fourth best.
Gail Kim walks out and says that she talked to Kurt Angle last week. She says that Kurt has given her the opportunity to choose her next opponent. Gail says that she chooses both Angelina and Terrell in a 3-Way! Gail then says that with all this talk that Angelina has been doing about how she is the hottest and best Knockout, how does Velvet feel about that. Velvet starts to say something but Angelina cuts her off and tells her not to listen to Gail. Gail says that Velvet is in that title match too so they will decide who the best Knockout truly is. Angelina and Velvet attack the babyfaces! Velvet tries to clothesline Gail but she ducks and Velvet clotheslines Angelina instead! The babyfaces toss BP out to the floor.

A vignette highlighting the several month drama between Bully and Dixie.
Dixie comes out to the ring alongside King Mo. EC3 comes out along with Rycklon, Spud, Snitsky, and Rhino as well. The fans taunt Dixie and she says “right back at you” to them. She is pissed at her assassins and she calls them worthless. She says that they don’t deserve to be here and as Spud tries to calm her down she shoves him and tells him to get out of her face. She fires Rycklon and Snitsky and demands they get out of her ring as Tenay says that Dixie is having a meltdown. She screams at the fans that they are fired too and demands that they get out of her building. Dixie tells the fans to “pick their shit up” and get out.
Team 3D and Tommy Dreamer come out with a table that has “DIXIE” spray painted across it. A huge “tables” chant breaks out as Dixie screams at them to shut up. Bully says that he has promised the people for a very long time that he would put Dixie through a table. He calls her the most hated woman in the history of wrestling and Dreamer says that he attempted to tell Dixie what was coming with an extreme pipebomb. He says the reason she is going through a table is because she represents all that is wrong with this business. King Mo then absolutely ROCKS Dreamer with a right hand!
