TNA Impact Wrestling | Changing of the Guard 2.0

[blackHEART]

February 6 2017

Mauro Ranallo and James Storm are hyping up an incredible card tonight, that includes a world title main event. Patriot 2000 begins tonight's show and protests he should be in the world title match tonight, and demands Ken Shamrock come down to the ring and place him in there. Moments pass, and no response. Patriot 2000 then makes the case he's one of the best talents on the roster and wasn't on the show last week, and demands a match tonight. After no response, Patriot 2000 demands Ken Shamrock give him respect and come to the ring right now, but the third time was no charm, forcing Patriot 2000 to leave in frustration.

John Hennigan def. Rockstar Spud
Moonlight Drive handed a win to Hennigan tonight, as he looks forward to a X-Division title match in the future.

Patriot 2000 storms into Ken Shamrock's office and shouts in Shamrock's face, interrogating him for not responding and making him look like a fool. Shamrock says he doesn't handle with fools. Shamrock told Patriot 2000 he has not earned a true world title opportunity. Patriot 2000 then begins to get legal with Shamrock, saying he should be wrestling tonight or he'll be contacting Donald Trump's office tomorrow morning. Ken Shamrock said to be careful what he wished for, and he can go out to the ring now, as his match is up next.

After a commercial, Patriot 2000 heads to the ring with no clue what he's in store for. The intimidating and undefeated Agonia heads down there and Patriot 2000 is likely regretting this now.

Agonia def. Patriot 2000 via Disqualification
Patriot 2000 intentionally disqualified himself by taking a chairshot to Agonia, in which was ineffective,
so Agonia punched Patriot through the chair and then hit a Spear to Patriot 2000 into the steel barricade.

The free agents in the first contract match are introduced with a welcoming package, with first having Madi Maxx and then Jessica James. This match is up next, with a reminder the winner gets a contract to TNA and is placed in a triple threat match at the end of the month for a TNA Knockouts Championship opportunity.

Madi Maxx def. Jessica James in a Free Agent Knockouts Match
Madi Maxx became the newest knockout with a Madilicious on Jessica James.

Ethan Carter III gets an interview with Jeremy Borash, and EC3 is in a good mood because he has an opportunity tonight to become a 2-time world champion. EC3 believes after Patriot 2000's match earlier, he'll have a fair chance and with that fair chance, the reign of AJ Styles ends tonight.

Jay Briscoe w/Mark Briscoe def. Dasher Hatfield
After this morning, Dasher challenged Jay Briscoe to a match tonight, he ate his own words by getting caught with a Jay-Driller.

Before Dasher Hatfield even had the opportunity to get to his feet, Drew Galloway came down with bad intentions as Brooke quickly followed, as Galloway beat Hatfield down to a pulp. Galloway was ripping at the mask of Dasher Hatfield, blatant disrespect to his heritage. The Briscoes then came back out and took it to Galloway, as Brooke called her client back to retreat, but it was only after Mark hit Galloway head-first to the belt.

Jenny Thunnel def. Hiroyo in a non-title match
Thunnel placed Hiroyo in the Kimura and forced a tap-out.

After a solid win, Thunnel reminded Taryn Terrell there are only 60 more days until she ties her reign as longest Knockouts Champion in the company's history.

Andrew Everett and Tyrus head up to Ken Shamrock and informed Shamrock that before he came, Everett lost his X-Division Championship to Ricochet. Everett said he has a rematch clause for that title and plans to invoke it at TNA Heartbreak on February 27th. Shamrock sees no problem with it, but he points at Tyrus. Shamrock says he might be over the weight limit to compete. Andrew Everett says he's not wanting to be in the match. Shamrock asked why he's in there, and after not allowing time for a response, asks Tyrus to not only leave the office now, but to not show up for TNA Heartbreak either. Andrew Everett makes a big fuss about this, but Shamrock shrugs his shoulders and tunes him out.

Mauro Ranallo and James Storm advertise for next week the second Free Agent match for a Knockouts contract, and a match between Drew Galloway and Mark Briscoe. They then switch gears to the main event right now, AJ Styles defending his world title against Ethan Carter III.

AJ Styles(c) def. Ethan Carter III to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Championship
A classic to follow up the several matches in their past, ended with AJ Styles hitting a Styles Clash off the second rope to win.

As AJ Styles celebrated, he glanced to see a springboard dropkick by Angelico. Angelico beat down the champion after a good match, before sweeping EC3 to the floor. Angelico then picked AJ Styles up for a Fall of the Angels, before picking the world title up and raising it high as Impact goes off the air tonight on FOX Sports 1.

[blackHEART]

February 13 2017

Tonight's show is began with TNA World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles, who gets down to business, and admits that Angelico has captured his attention and wants him in the ring now. Angelico answers the call, and Styles asked what's went on. Styles recalls meeting Angelico when he came in two years ago and was the first to congratulate him on earning a contract. Styles commended Angelico on being the hardest worker, so he asks why he's now demanding stuff? Angelico agreed, he has been the hardest worker, but nobody's given him anything the last two years, so he's here to take now. Styles told Angelico he shouldn't disrespect the TNA originals to do it. Angelico asked if this was about Bobby Roode, and said he enjoyed snapping Roode's spine, just like he'll enjoy snapping AJ's at TNA Heartbreak. This brings Ken Shamrock out, who asks Angelico what made him think he's getting a world title match? Nothing's official, and after hearing Angelico is the hardest working man in the room, he will need to work hard for that match in two weeks. The main event is made Rey Mysterio versus Angelico, and if Angelico wins, he's the #1 contender.

Irish Borne def. Mandrews and Rockstar Spud to become the new #1 Contenders
Mandrews and Spud haven't teamed in months, but with an opportunity to become #1 contenders, came together but still lost with Irish Coffee on Mandrews.

Mark Briscoe is watching the match from backstage when Jay Briscoe comes up and asks if his partner is focused on tonight. Irish Borne will get their shot in two weeks, but tonight he needs to be focused on Drew Galloway. While Mark said he's ready, Jay said he wasn't thinking straight when he smashed Galloway with the title last week, because now he'll be zoned in tonight. Mark said Galloway won't be able to think after last week, but he's got things covered. Jay doesn't look confident his partner has things under control tonight.

Up next is the next free agent match to determine the newest Knockout, in which we have a welcoming package for both Nevaeh and Chasity.

Chasity def. Nevaeh in a Free Agent Knockouts Match
Using a backpack stunner, dubbed "Chasity Case," she beat Nevaeh and won herself a contract with TNA.

Knockouts Champion Jenny Thunnel steps into Ken Shamrock's office and asks about being sent word to come in, and Thunnel is informed Taryn Terrell will be getting a title opportunity at TNA Heartbreak in two weeks. When Jenny Thunnel asks why, Ken Shamrock mentions Taryn Terrell's winning streak combined with Thunnel's constant taunts at Terrell. Shamrock advises if she wants to be known as the greatest Knockouts Champion in history, she'll see this match as an opportunity.

Before his opponent's entrance, Drew Galloway and Brooke took an opportunity to speak. Brooke says they blame Dasher Hatfield for Carlito's departure from TNA and if it weren't for Galloway, TNA would have no big-time player. Drew Galloway vows to become world champion in 2017, but people like The Briscoes and Dasher Hatfield must be dealt with beforehand.

Drew Galloway w/Brooke def. Mark Briscoe w/Jay Briscoe
After Mark Briscoe accidentally suicide dived onto Jay Briscoe after Galloway had stepped aside, Drew picked Mark up and hit a Future Shock DDT on the floor before rolling him inside the ring and hit a Claymore Kick to win.

Drew Galloway doesn't have a chance to celebrate when Dasher Hatfield comes out and heads to the ring, but that's a bad idea, as Galloway physically dominates Hatfield. Galloway is beating Dasher Hatfield senseless before he's decked from behind by Jay Briscoe. Jay Briscoe is beating Drew Galloway up until Irish Borne darts to the ring and the new #1 contenders even things out. Irish Borne and Drew Galloway are able to take it to this three men and lay them out, making statements to each.

Ricochet def. DJ Z in a non-title match
With Andrew Everett spouting his mouth off at commentary and Tyrus right beside, Ricochet hit a 630 Splash to win.

Immediately after his match, Tyrus tries attacking Ricochet and when the X-Division Champion is fighting back, Everett hits a springboard forearm to Ricochet and ended up laying the X-Division Champion out with a Frankendriver as the statement.

Johnny Gargano is bragging to his guys that his wife will be apart of next week's free agent match. We then see Ciampa come up, not sporting the usual facepaint, and tells Johnny to wish Candy luck for him. Johnny Gargano admits they go way back and he appreciates it.

Before Mr. Anderson's match tonight, he dedicates it to Stu Alexander.

Tigre Uno def. Mr. Anderson
Mr. Anderson got too arrogant and was caught in a roll-up pin package to lose.

James Storm and Mauro Ranallo hype next week's card, which includes the final free agent match with the knockouts, featuring Johnny Gargano's wife Candy. Also, the newly named #1 contender Taryn Terrell faces a 6-time champion Madison Rayne. But now, Angelico fights Rey Mysterio for the opportunity to wrestle AJ Styles in two weeks at TNA Heartbreak for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

Angelico def. Rey Mysterio
Angelico would obstruct the referee's vision as he thumped Mysterio in the eye through the mask and hit a Fall of the Angels in the corner followed by a Superman Senton to secure a win.

Angelico would take the opportunity to stomp away at Mysterio before AJ Styles darted the ring and Angelico fled before any physical conflict took place. Angelico laughed and this is how Impact goes off the air tonight.

[blackHEART]

February 20 2017

Seven days before TNA Heartbreak, Ethan Carter III came to the ring. He said he sat home and watched Angelico last week, and he called Angelico a little child who hasn't gotten his way, so he's pitching a huge fit. EC3 reminded Angelico he shouldn't be begging for his drivers license if he's too young to drive the car. Angelico responded and said he's one who has no need for the license, saying he's one to just take the keys and go about his own way. Angelico said he'll be taking the keys from AJ Styles next Monday and become the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Ken Shamrock stepped out from the curtain, saying he won't make this long, but get a referee out there because this match is kicking off the show!

Ethan Carter III def. Angelico via Count-Out
When the going got tough, and EC3 hit a Stinger Splash and about to line up for the One-Percenter, Angelico rolled out and scurried to the back, deciding not to finish the match.

Andrew Everett and Tyrus are in the back with Jeremy Borash and when asked about next week when Tyrus isn't allowed at ringside, Everett will say the one reason internet marks are saying he lost the title to Ricochet in the first place was because he didn't have Tyrus by his side. Everett says he'll prove to everyone he doesn't need his insurance policy to win a match, letting Tyrus know he can remain in the back for tonight's match.

Irish Borne and Drew Galloway w/Brooke def. The Briscoes and Dasher Hatfield
Irish Borne scored a huge win, pinning Jay Briscoe after Irish Coffee. This took place after Galloway hit a Claymore Kick on Hatfield on the outside and Mark hit a suicide dive on Galloway, leaving his partner vulnerable to the 2-on-1 attack.

Angelico is headed out of the arena when Ken Shamrock stops him. Shamrock says he better stick around, because he's wrestling tonight in the main event! Angelico refused, and Shamrock said he may be the interim GM right now, but he made his title match for next week and if he wants to sign the contract tomorrow morning, he'll go to the ring and wrestle. Angelico asked what he needs to do, and Shamrock broke the news it'll be a rematch versus Ethan Carter III, this time in a Falls Count Anywhere Match!

Taryn Terrell def. Madison Rayne w/Velvet Sky
Terrell hit her patented Taryn Cutter to beat a 6-time Knockouts Champion, despite with Sky in Rayne's corner.

Before she could catch her breath, Jenny Thunnel's music hit. The Knockouts Champion came out to remind Terrell that it is only 46 days until she ties her record as the longest reigning Knockouts Champion. Terrell asks for a mic and says Thunnel's reign will stop just 40 days short of beating hers and she'll have to live with that for the rest of her career. Jenny laughs methodically and brings to her attention that the record is the only thing she's holding onto now. Jenny predicts that once she no longer is the longest reigning Knockouts Champion, she instantly becomes irrelevant to the history of the title. Thunnel says nobody remembers the second-longest reigning champion, they always remember the best, and that Taryn Terrell will realize her time is coming up. Taryn started off by saying she agreed with Jenny, that nobody remembers the second-best, and come next Monday night at TNA Heartbreak, Jenny Thunnel's reign will have all been for nothing as she wins back the Knockouts Championship! Things are heating up in this rivalry, and it all comes to a head in seven days.

Johnny Gargano and his wife Candy Gargano are backstage as Johnny is super excited about her match tonight. Candy slows Johnny down and lets it be known she's grateful for the opportunity, but tonight is on her shoulders and needs to prove herself before anything.

Tigre Uno def. Andrew Everett
Without Tyrus by his side, Andrew Everett could not beat Tigre Uno, falling victim to the Sabertooth Splash.

Drew Galloway follows Brooke into Ken Shamrock's office and Brooke says she's furious about Carlito being forced home, and Dasher Hatfield has the briefcase that rightly belongs to Carlito. Shamrock asked what can he do, because what's done is done and he has no power to change that. Brooke lets Shamrock know he has the power to make a match for next week's TNA Heartbreak. Ken Shamrock makes the match official, Drew Galloway versus Dasher Hatfield next week!

Up next is the final free agent match for a Knockouts contract. The winner will not only earn herself a job here at TNA, but will also compete against Madi Maxx and Chasity next week in a #1 contenders match for the Knockouts Championship. We see a video package of the competitors for the match now.

Candy Gargano def. Vanessa Kraven in a Free Agent Knockouts Match
The hype didn't disappoint, and Candy lived up to her husband's name, beating Vanessa with The Candy Crusher, a modified Gory Bomb to win herself a contract.

Johnny Gargano rushed to the ring and hugged his wife, kissing her, and celebrating this monumental victory with her, as the crowd rejoiced along with them.

Mauro Ranallo and James Storm run down next week's TNA Heartbreak card, but in the middle, the program turns to static. There's a black and white message that says "Victims Fall - Mass Shooting - Next Week"... Ranallo and Storm speculate of what that may entail, and they try to switch gears back into the matches lined up for next week's TNA Heartbreak. Also, they gear up for the Falls Count Anywhere contest up next for the main event.

Angelico def. Ethan Carter III in a Falls Count Anywhere Match
Angelico survived a beating from EC3 to hit a Fall of the Angels on EC3 through a table set up in the corner to win.

Angelico gained huge momentum headed into his title opportunity against AJ Styles next week.

February 27 2017

TNA's Heartbreak special begins with Mauro Ranallo and James Storm quickly running through tonight's big matches, but there's no more talk, as Drew Galloway is led out by Brooke to begin the action-packed evening.

Drew Galloway w/Brooke def. Dasher Hatfield
Galloway was fueled by seeing Hatfield's briefcase and this led to Brooke providing a distraction, enabling Dasher's momentum to be derailed by a World Title Briefcase shot, and then the Claymore Kick.

Ranallo and Storm mention Hatfield has a 0-15 television record since his debut at Slammiversary last year.

Andrew Everett is seen leading a huge mascot towards the ring when they are stopped by Ken Shamrock. Shamrock takes the mascot head off and it reveals Tyrus. Shamrock shouts for security and they come to block Tyrus off and Shamrock turns his attention to Andrew Everett, saying he must go out and fight Ricochet on his own... and because of his antics, it begins now!

Andrew Everett def. Ricochet(c) to win the TNA X-Division Championship
Commotion at the curtain as Tyrus was pushing and throwing away security men distracted the X-Division Champion and the official, allowing Everett to kick Ricochet in the groin and roll him up from behind, as the official counted the 3.

Andrew Everett quickly snagged the title from ringside and scurried up the ramp as Ricochet was ticked in the ring, and Everett takes a shot at a security member before he and Tyrus headed to the back. The cameras followed the men both and all of a sudden, we see Ken Shamrock in front of them, upset his authority wasn't respected. Shamrock doesn't shy from firing Tyrus! This upsets both Everett and Tyrus and after Shamrock leaves, Everett is still shouting after Shamrock. Tyrus then points the finger of blame at Everett before throwing him into the wall and then he throws Everett through a clothed table before leaving the new X-Division Champion laying, as Tyrus is fired from TNA.

The Briscoes(c) def. Irish Borne to retain the TNA World Tag Team Championships
After Mark miraculously kicked out of Irish Coffee, Jay went on a rampage against the Crist brothers and ended up hitting the Jay-Driller on Jacob, only for Mark to recover and hit a Froggy-Bow to retain.

The crowd is on their feet after the big match, when we go backstage to AJ Styles with Jeremy Borash. When asked about tonight, Styles admits Angelico has incredible in-ring ability and is not only the future of the X-Division, but the future of TNA. Styles said Angelico can't go about things the wrong way in which he's done, and he'll be learning a lesson tonight.

We watch a video package for the upcoming #1 contenders match, with each of the three new knockouts and how they earned their contracts.

Candy Gargano def. Chasity and Madi Maxx to become the new #1 Contender
Candy Crush lays out Madi Maxx and secures Candy Gargano the next opportunity at the Knockouts Championship.

Johnny Gargano rushes to the ring and celebrates with his wife, a celebration cut short by the Knockouts Champion Jenny Thunnel coming out to no regard for Candy Gargano's touching moment. This segways into a video package for the title match against Taryn Terrell and how this match came about with the two longer-reigning champions in Knockouts history, and by the end of the video, the Garganos are gone and Thunnel is awaiting her opponent.

Jenny Thunnel(c) def. Taryn Terrell to retain the TNA Knockouts Championship
In her loaded submission arsenal, Thunnel ends the match on a Cross Armbreaker tonight.

Ken Shamrock is on the phone and is obviously talking about firing Tyrus earlier tonight, as he says he had to, but the man on the other line is obviously in disagreement.

The world title match is next and we see a video of the new attitude of Angelico and how his attack on Bobby Roode propelled him to the world title scene, and that is what we go to now.

AJ Styles(c) vs. Angelico for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship
Styles was able to teach a rookie Angelico a valuable lesson by a savvy veteran, and Styles just hit a Phenomenal Forearm and after Angelico counted out, Styles was waiting for Angelico to stand up for a Styles Clash...

SPOILER: Click to show

These two men jump the barricade and blast Angelico from behind. AJ Styles is asking what's going on and while Storm is clueless, Ranallo mentions the three are buddies. Styles said he doesn't need their help, as the two men slowly back away and as AJ Styles goes to help Angelico up, he's blindsided by the two men. The two men are stomping away at AJ Styles and they go to grab a chair from under the ring when the Young Bucks music hits and they head down to the ring and cover up AJ Styles, asking what they've done. As the two men are frozen by the Young Bucks being present, the lights go out in the arena. The same message appears as last week in terms of "Victims Fall" and "Mass Shooting." Then we get a new message, "Blood Pours" and the white text turns to red and it begins to drip like blood. At this, the blood begins to be wiped away and as the white text appears again, the lights return in the arena in unison to a completely white screen, but the lights are so blinding. Once eyes come back into focus, the titantron shows "THE CLEANER" and the next slide shows "KENNY OMEGA"...

The crowd can't help but erupt. The Young Bucks are staring at the titantron shocked as AJ Styles is coming back to, and out appears Kenny Omega to the largest crowd reaction since AJ Styles returned two years ago. Kenny Omega takes his time getting to the ring and when he gets there, he stands right by the two men, and the Young Bucks had helped AJ Styles to his feet. The new men charge at the Bucks and Styles and it's a brutal beatdown. It ends with disposing the Bucks through one table each, and then they turned their attention to the world champion. The world champion is hit with a Magic Killer by the two men, followed by a One-Winged Angel by Kenny Omega. The three men stood tall, united as one, as this TNA Heartbreak goes off the air in buzzing fashion.

[Chosen One]

THAT ENDING!! AH!!!!!

[blackHEART]

March 6 2017

After Mauro Ranallo and James Storm are trying to speculate the attack at end of last week by Kenny Omega and his pals, interim General Manager Ken Shamrock begins the show in the ring. Shamrock says he had no idea why those three men made it past security, as he didn't address them by name, but he's revamped security tonight. AJ Styles and Two Cool Bucks hear this and make their way to the ring. They're upset at what happened, and Styles isn't afraid to call Kenny Omega out by name. Shamrock then exits for AJ Styles to ask why and reminisce on their days in Japan, showing off a couple pictures.



AJ Styles said the five were unbreakable until Kenny Omega shows up. Styles warns Omega not to take his boys, because blood is thicker than any water Omega's drinking.

Drew Galloway w/Brooke def. Mandrews
Galloway was on a mission and seemed to take out built up anger against Mandrews, finishing it off with a Future Shock DDT.

After his win, Brooke got in the ring with a microphone and made it known that Drew Galloway, while he is a future world champion with the briefcase in his hand, she's asking for Dasher Hatfield to reconsider his career path. Brooke says there's no one stepping up as Dasher Hatfield's partner because Hatfield has lost every match since he arrived in TNA. Brooke tries to convince Dasher through the monitor, hoping he's watching, to give up his briefcase to the man who beat him last week, Drew Galloway.

Angelico is backstage when Chris Sabin and Aiden O'Shea head up to him. Sabin is still wearing a neckbrace and informs Angelico that Dirty Standards have a match against Two Cool Bucks tonight, yet he's still not medically cleared to compete. Sabin says he was rooting for Angelico last week and feel this could get him back into the title picture, if he'll take his place and team with O'Shea. Angelico seems to be pondering the idea.

Ivelisse def. Kimber Lee
Ivelisse hit Disdain and put Kimber Lee away.

Candy Gargano is with her husband Johnny Gargano talking when the Knockouts Champion Jenny Thunnel comes up to them, and Johnny can tell Candy's intimidated by the champion. Thunnel asks if Candy got the memo she's having her title shot next week, and Thunnel keeps going to say she is 32 days away from tying Taryn Terrell's record of being the longest reigning Knockouts Champion in history. She lets Candy know she won't be the one to come in her way, and walks off as Johnny tries to instill confidence in his wife.

Agonia def. Robbie E
Agonia hits a Spear and lays Robbie E out for good.

X-Division Champion Andrew Everett comes to the ring and gloats for winning the X-Division Championship back last week on Heartbreak and accredits a little part to Tyrus, but he was dead weight anyway and was the sole reason he lost the title in the first place, so he will prove why he's the best X-Division star in the game today, until an unfamiliar music hit and Tyrus steps out from behind the curtain. Everett is shocked as Tyrus heads down to the ring and before he makes it to ringside, Ken Shamrock heads out. Shamrock clears that Tyrus remains on the TNA roster, and he'll leave the two to their business. Everett immediately is regretting his words and apologizing for them when Tyrus comes in the ring. Before Tyrus could lay a finger on Everett, Ricochet heads out and steps in the ring. Ricochet says he's claiming his rematch for the title next week, and Tyrus then turns on Andrew Everett and ends up hitting Splat on the X-Division Champion as Ricochet then picks his spot and hits the 630 Splash.

Mr. Anderson is with Ken Shamrock when Shamrock informs Anderson he is going to have one more chance at Stu Alexander next week. Shamrock then leaves Anderson as he sees Dasher Hatfield. Hatfield is apologetic once his 0-15 record is brought up and Shamrock is not having it. Shamrock says he has no sympathy for losing because if he had went 0-15 in his career, he wouldn't have had a job. Shamrock then says he'll place his tag team title briefcase on the line against Drew Galloway next week.

Jay Briscoe w/Mark Briscoe def. Togi Makabe w/Tomoaki Honma
Jay-Driller put Makabe in his place as one-half of the tag team champions showed out.

Mauro Ranallo and James Storm highlight the night we've seen, but previews next week's show that includes two championship matches. Candy Gargano will challenge Jenny Thunnel for the Knockouts Championship and Ricochet gets his fair rematch against Andrew Everett for the X-Division Championship. Also, it's going to be Stu Alexander in action against Mr. Anderson. But now they report that security is in full effect surrounding the arena all night, as Two Cool Bucks are about to compete against Dirty Standards.

Two Cool Bucks head to the ring with AJ Styles, and their opponents enter, but Angelico is announced as Chris Sabin's replacement as Sabin remains at ringside in support.

Two Cool Bucks w/AJ Styles vs. Angelico and Aiden O'Shea w/Chris Sabin
Angelico and O'Shea were impressive together, but when the Bucks got momentum, we see footage on the titantron with the security members in the parking lot unconscious.

As this catches AJ Styles and Chris Sabin's attention, the tag teams are still going at it. The camera guy captures footage of the security guards laid out in the wreckage in the halls and even a couple members of the locker room. The camera appears to be making its way to the curtain when Kenny Omega appears with the camera in his hand. He's trailed closely behind by the two bald men from last week. The two guys dart to the ring and lay out AJ Styles, as they also receive suicide dives from the Bucks. Kenny Omega heads down and smashes the camera to both of the Bucks. Chris Sabin is on the other side trying to get Angelico and Aiden O'Shea to retreat. Angelico is in the ring and enters Kenny Omega ready to pounce, but Sabin grabs the leg and pulls Angelico out of harm and they leap the steel barricade as Omega turns his attention back to Two Cool Bucks and AJ Styles. The two men got to their feet and Omega asks to get AJ Styles in the ring, which they do. Omega tries a One-Winged Angel on Styles, but he fights through, so the two men beat AJ down and hit a Magic Killer. Omega then is able to hit a One-Winged Angel on the TNA World Heavyweight Champion as tonight's episode ends the same as last week's TNA Heartbreak as the three men break into the Trump Plaza Hotel once more.

[blackHEART]

March 13 2017

Tonight's episode begins with the two men in the ring, those who have helped Kenny Omega take out AJ Styles and Two Cool Bucks the last two weeks. The man starting on the mic introduces himself as Doc Gallows and reminded everyone he was here back in 2013. He lets his friend introduce himself, in which his name is Karl Jacobs. Jacobs said he's been privileged to travel the world with Doc and with this man, to welcome "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega! Omega comes out with shades, a buttoned leather jacket, and looking cool for him to get in and hug both Gallows and Jacobs before speaking. Kenny Omega says he has been waiting to come to the states for a loooong time. He said the perfect opportunity arose when he could have stayed in Japan, or when he flipped the TV and saw AJ Styles as world champion in TNA. Omega said if AJ Styles could be the fifth-best guy in Japan and come here two years ago, then Kenny Omega could be the best wrestler in Japan and come to the states to dominate. Ken Shamrock then interrupts and says he allowed them this time to clear the air, but now that they have their spotlight, they aren't contracted but to leave the ring. Kenny Omega laughed and asked if that's good business, because they are all three free agents and wouldn't be in trouble for wrestling in the main event tonight. Shamrock heard the fans cheer and while the wheels were turning, Omega said they each would sign a waiver to get their hands on AJ Styles and the Bucks tonight. While this blew the roof off, Ken Shamrock had the unfortunate news to bear that those three individuals aren't here per his orders to hold off conflict. Shamrock did suggest if he wanted to still sign a waiver, he can put up the three of his best for the main event. Kenny Omega knew that was perfect and agreed. Omega, Jacobs, and Gallows are competing tonight for the first time in TNA!

Stu Alexander def. Mr. Anderson
Stu hit a Bull Hammer Elbow to defeat the Loudmouth Anderson once more.

Preparing for one of the two title matches tonight is Ricochet in his entitled rematch to Andrew Everett. He knows Tyrus is out of the picture, so he'll use that to his advantage up next.

Ricochet def. Andrew Everett(c) to win the TNA X-Division Championship
Tyrus came out and it appeared would help Everett, yet when the official was knocked out, wouldn't hand the chair to Everett, yet he'd smash it in his face instead and Ricochet would hit a 630 Splash to win the title a third time.

Ken Shamrock is backstage with Ethan Carter III, Jeff Jarrett, and Rey Mysterio in his office. Shamrock hypes them up as EC3 being the longest reigning champion in TNA's history, Rey Mysterio being a legend in this business, and Jeff Jarrett founding the company, he informed them they are the three he's chosen to wrestle the invading team tonight.

Madison Rayne w/Velvet Sky def. Madi Maxx
Madi Maxx got a rude welcoming to the knockouts division, falling to a Rayne Drop by Madison.

Dasher Hatfield is backstage with Jeremy Borash worried about his match against Drew Galloway up next, worried about losing his tag team title shot. Hatfield says he hasn't won anything before, but JB reminds him that he won the briefcase in Feast or Fired. This instills a BUNCH of confidence in Hatfield as he storms to the ring.

Dasher Hatfield def. Drew Galloway w/Brooke
In a shocking turn of events, Hatfield used the Airplane Spin on Galloway and then used a schoolboy attempt to get his first pinfall in TNA.

Dasher Hatfield immediately sprang up in celebration after ending his losing streak. Brooke was in shock as Galloway was furious at the end results. Galloway got up and charged at Hatfield, but Hatfield escaped by a hair and ran up the ramp as he's then handed the briefcase he nearly forgot.

Jenny Thunnel is with Jeremy Borash ahead of her title defense soon. She's asked about her thoughts, in which she hopes Johnny Gargano is not brought to the ring to watch his wife suffer. Thunnel says she will hold nothing back, being 25 days away from tying the record for longest-reigning Knockouts Champion in history. Thunnel makes it clear she'll leave nothing to risk, as the title match is after the commercial break.

Jenny Thunnel(c) def. Candy Gargano w/Johnny Gargano to retain the TNA Knockouts Championship
Candy put up a fight early on, but it wouldn't take long for Thunnel to reverse the momentum and get Candy tapping to the Cross Armbreaker.

Dirty Standards are backstage with Angelico as Chris Sabin is convincing Angelico they are on the same side. Sabin reminds Angelico of the days that Dirty Standards was a large group with The Krew, but was most effective as a trio with Cortez Castro. Sabin admits there's something about three that's a perfect number, and while he mentions O'Shea and he are getting the job done, he feels that Angelico is the missing piece to being the best trio in TNA, despite Kenny's and AJ's respective groups. Sabin asks what Angelico thinks, and Angelico admits he'll put some thought into it.

Mauro Ranallo and James Storm react to a very eventful night with two title matches already, but now it's time for the main event when Kenny Omega, Doc Gallows, and Karl Jacobs make their in-ring debut for TNA now.

Ethan Carter III, Jeff Jarrett, and Rey Mysterio enter the ring separately and are ready for action when the music of Kenny Omega hits and he walks out with Doc Gallows and Karl Jacobs. Omega then stops on his way and asks for a microphone. Omega says they signed a waiver to compete tonight and while he's looking at the three biggest names TNA has to offer, he asked Ken Shamrock how much he got paid, and Omega found out quickly Shamrock doesn't have connections to Trump to get the paycheck written. Kenny Omega informed a hopeful crowd they weren't wrestling tonight for free! The fans booed loudly and Omega said the only way they'll wrestle for free is if they get AJ Styles and the Two Cool Bucks. Ethan Carter III then said if they're not wanting to wrestle, and they've waived their health, then they're getting a fight! EC3, Jarrett, and Mysterio exit the ring and all six men go at it outside the ring. There's chaos, chairs, steel steps and barricades, more and galore in this brawl! It ends, however, the same as the previous two weeks. Gallows and Jacobs finished both Mysterio and EC3 off with Magic Killers. This preceded Kenny Omega taking out the TNA Wrestling founder with his One-Winged Angel. Gallows, Jacobs, and Omega stood tall sending a message to the TNA World Heavyweight Champion as Impact goes off the air.

Ken Shamrock began the show in the ring, letting it be known with Omega, Gallows, and Jacobs not agreeing to compete last week, they violated the one rule of professional wrestling, and that's not agreeing to entertain them all. So until they agree to wrestle, they're no longer welcome. This prompted Ethan Carter III, Jeff Jarrett, and Rey Mysterio to the ring. They were upset about not getting their shot at the three last week and wants another opportunity. This gets Omega, Jacobs, and Gallows to respond. Kenny Omega assures them they'll wrestle tonight, on two conditions. One, they want their money due, and the highest paycheck someone's getting for tonight, they want each of theirs doubled. The second condition is after they go through those "3 stooges" Omega wants to main event Lockdown. Omega says his task is to take the TNA World Heavyweight Championship away from AJ Styles and won't rest until that is finished.

In a friendly match, Richards is making his mark with a DR Driver.

Dasher Hatfield is in Ken Shamrock's office wanting to challenge Drew Galloway for the World Title Briefcase, that he had to put his briefcase on the line last week. Shamrock says he doesn't feel Hatfield is world title worthy, and if he was in charge, he wouldn't have a job in TNA because TNA represents the best of the best, which Hatfield isn't in Shamrock's opinion. Shamrock does say if Galloway loses his match tonight against Cortez Castro.

When Sabin tried getting involved, Honma took care of it, but Angelico ran down and clubbed Makabe in the back of the head, set O'Shea up for a Boomstick and showed where his allegiances lie.

After a commercial, Andrew Everett came to the ring. Everett showed replay footage of Tyrus getting involved last week and says he should still be the company's X-Division Champion, and blames Ricochet for plotting and turning Tyrus against him. Ricochet responded and the champion swore he had nothing to do with last week. Everett said he demanded a rematch and right when Ricochet was thinking about it, John Hennigan's music hit. Hennigan came with his briefcase and when Ricochet locked eyes with him, the crowd was cheering and Everett's screams into the mic to be acknowledged fell on deaf ear. Hennigan raised the briefcase up to Ricochet and Ricochet responded with the X-Division Championship, showing they'll be going head-to-head real soon.

Mauro Ranallo draws attention to the back as he hears that there's been an incident. Backstage, we see Ethan Carter III unconscious on his stomach. Medical personnel is tending to him as Rey Mysterio and Jeff Jarrett watch from a distance.

Cortez Castro def. Drew Galloway w/Brooke
Dasher Hatfield came ringside and ended up spraying Brooke with silly string, distracting Galloway with Brooke's shrieks and Cortez rolled Galloway up with a schoolboy to win.

As Brooke yelled after a fleeing Dasher Hatfield, we saw a promo with Mr. Anderson. Anderson was speaking of his accolades since coming to TNA, including reigning as the world champion last year. Mr. Anderson claims Stu Alexander can't hold a candle to his skills on the mic, and is challenging him to a "Mic Battle" next week on Impact.

Knockouts Champion Jenny Thunnel came to the ring, informing everyone that she is 18 days from tying the record and becoming the longest reigning Knockouts Champion in history. Ivelisse came out and the crowd loved the idea Ivelisse proposed, at Lockdown competing against Thunnel in a cage match. This was all well, until Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky spoiled the party. Rayne said she's been on a role lately and is next in line to become champion. She turns her attention to Jenny Thunnel, saying being the longest reigning would be impressive, but Rayne says she's been doing this for years and holds the record for being champion six times. Rayne dares Thunnel to match her longevity. This has Ken Shamrock come out and make the match, Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky versus Jenny Thunnel and Ivelisse.

Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky def. Jenny Thunnel and Ivelisse
Ivelisse was about to win until Thunnel turned on her partner and hit a Northern Lights Suplex, setting Madison up for the Rayne Drop and pinning Ivelisse as Thunnel walked out.

Ken Shamrock stops by and sees Ethan Carter III and Jeff Jarrett backstage. Shamrock advises to cancel the main event tonight, but they refuse, and say they'll go out 2-on-3. EC3 lets Shamrock know that before he got here, he was the longest reigning TNA World Heavyweight Champion and Jeff Jarrett is the founder of this company. Claiming to be the heart and soul, they can take it to Omega and his thugs.

Back from commercial, Mauro Ranallo and James Storm break two matches made for Lockdown on April 9th, exclusive to pay-per-view. Dasher Hatfield will put his tag team title briefcase on the line with hopes to get Drew Galloway's world title briefcase, as it's a "Winner Takes All" match contested in a Steel Cage. Also, John Hennigan will be cashing his X-Division briefcase that night against Ricochet in a night where all matches are Steel Cage matches. They let it be known that next week's Impact will feature a Mic Battle, courtesy of Stu Alexander sending out an acceptance tweet to Mr. Anderson's challenge from earlier.

We see Ken Shamrock backstage with Knockouts Champion Jenny Thunnel, who is packed up and ready to leave for the evening. Shamrock lets Thunnel know that a true champion would never walk out of a match, and he feels she's getting afraid of losing. Shamrock lets her know that next week Madison Rayne will wrestle Ivelisse in a #1 contenders match, with the winner going onto Lockdown to challenge for the title. Thunnel isn't pleased with the decision, and just grabs her bags and head out.

Ethan Carter III and Jeff Jarrett vs. Doc Gallows, Karl Jacobs, and Kenny Omega in a 2-on-3 Handicap Match
EC3 and Double J tried but this was an assault, that ended up getting out of hand, and the official threw it out when he lost control.

Gallows, Jacobs, and Omega were absolutely pummeling EC3 and Jarrett. While they had the heart to fight tonight, it was no match. This was until the music of AJ Styles grabbed their attention, and Styles appeared with a microphone in his hand at the curtain. AJ Styles said Omega didn't need to strike a deal with Ken Shamrock, because they're definitely having their match at Lockdown and if it means he puts the title on the line to send Omega packing, it's on! The crowd applauded and Omega was happy about this and Styles rushed the ring and got into a brawl with Kenny Omega. This was a 3-on-1 beatdown until Two Cool Bucks rushed the ring and helped. However, this wasn't the only help that was received. Angelico and Aiden O'Shea ran to the ring and got in on the action. There was no solid winner of the uncontested brawl as it continued while Impact ran out of airtime.
