Before the bell had even rung for the first bout we had TNA World Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries and Kenny King taking the attack to their opponents Bobby Roode and X Division Champion Zema Ion.
Kenny King and Austin Aries defeated Zema Ion and Bobby Roode in a fairly enjoyable tag match. The bout was well received from the fans in attendance, although most of it was just teasing the hot tag to Aries rather then providing particularly exciting action. Annoyingly they kept presenting random tweets from fans talking about Impact as the match up was taking place, just pointless.
Sting called out James Storm and asked 'The Cowboy' to convince him and everyone else that he has no connection to the Aces & Eights group that's been taking out various wrestlers and officials. Storm stated that he didn't need anyone to fight his battles for him. Kurt Angle then joined them and presented some evidence that pointed towards Storm being affiliated with the gang and begged for them to come out during his match so he could exact some revenge.
Bully Ray beat Robbie E in a brief contest in the Bound For Glory Series. It really did nothing at all for Robbie, although what was the point of him even being put into the BFG Series in the first place?
Madison Rayne defeated Mickie James, Tara and Gail Kim in a Fatal Four Way to become number one contender to the Knockouts title. The bout ranged from mediocre to flat out sloppy at moments, it wasn't very good at all. James and Kim managed to salvage it a bit but Tara and Rayne were not on form at all, which is unusual for Tara.
The only thing worse than the match was Brooke Tessmacher's guest commentary, she was awful. She just sounded so fake and proved that not only is she not good enough in the ring to be champion but she doesn't have the charisma or (any) acting skills either. I don't expect much at all from her title bout with Rayne.
Chavo Guerrero beat Kid Kash in an enjoyable match up. It wasn't anything particularly exciting but it was fun for the majority of it. A little disappointing that Chavo's very first feud in TNA is with Kash though, not a red hot start in the company.
Christopher Daniels and Kazarian asked Claire Lynch (the woman AJ Styles apparently impregnated in this awful storyline) to join them for her own baby shower in the ring. Amusingly one fan began chanting "You can't act" at Lynch, a truthful chant if I ever heard one. Daniels and Kaz proceeded to give Claire a few gifts for the baby, including a little AJ Styles attire which one of the commentators couldn't help but giggle at. Once again Lynch proved that she has no worth in pro wrestling and just shouted down the mic at AJ to "do the right thing!" I really, really cannot wait for her not to be needed anymore.
James Storm defeated Kurt Angle in a BFG Series bout. It was a solid main event, as expected with these two involved. They went move for move, counter for counter to provide some nice near falls and submission attempts. Afterwards Roode (Bobby and various other wrestlers had come to the ring in anticipation for Aces & Eights arrival) once again accused Storm of being behind the group and he, Bully Ray, Austin Aries and Storm all began brawling in the ring.
