George Iceman brought out Ash by Elegance before the next match.  She is sitting ringside sipping champagne.  It's a hard job but someone has to do it.

TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace vs. Tasha Steelz vs. Xia Brookside.

The story early was Grace's strength kept everyone off balance.  Steelz took out Brookside after she showed some promise early on.  Grace caught Brookside on a flying bodypress but was then caught with a Steelz bulldog for a two count.  Steelz looked great.  She wen t for a suplex but Grace reversed it.  Grace clotheslined her in th corner and nailed some hard chops.

They did a great spot where Grace spun them both around while trapping them.  There was another innovative spot wher Grace was setting up a STF on Steelz but was caught by Brookside in an Octopus.  Really fun, unique spots.  Brookside kicked Grace as she charged her in the ropes.  They battled outside on the apron.  Steelz joined them,  Steelz nailed a Codebreaker on Grace but Xia nailed Steelz.  Brookside nailed a bodypress from the top to the floor on Grace.  The story was Grace hit her head on the ramp coming down.  Fans chanted TNA.

Brookside reversed a whip by Steelz into the barricade, knocking her into Ash by Elegance, who spilled her drink all over her dress and lost her mind.  She blamed Brookside and demanded George get her out of there as she was embarassed by her dress being ruined.  Iceman looked to have rolled his ankle leaving and fell on the ramp.  Ouch.  He helped her out, holding his back as they left.

With Ash gone, they went into the next gear with lots of good wrestling.  Grace sent Xia into the corner and nailed a double knee strike.   Grace went to the ropes and nailed the Vader Bomb but Steelz broke it up with a splash off the ropes.  Lots of near falls.  Steelz was bleeding from the nose or mouth.  She went for a bulldog off the ropes onGrace, who blocked it and placed her on Xia.  Steelz was hit by a clothesline from behind and the force of the move sent her crashing forward, taking Xia over with a Code Red in the process.

Grace nailed Xia with the Grace Driver and scored the pin.

Your winner and still TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace!

This was great.  Lots of real innovative moves showcasing Grace's strength and power.  Steelz is just incredible as a performer and Xia looked really good as well.  This was my favorite thing on the show thus far.

TNA Champion Moose vs. Eric Young

Eric Young's ribs were all taped up from their No Sacrifice PPV bout last month.

The System came out with Moose, but went back to the back. Run ins?

Young was in control early, beating Moose with punches in the corner and slamming him over and over into the apron outside.  He whipped Moose into the ring post.  Moose came back to slam Young into the ring.  Moose went for a powerbomb on the floor but was backdropped.  Young nailed a pescado.  Moose cut him off, working on the back and ribs.

Moose spent a long time beating on Young, including using the ring post to pull at Young's arms and legs, forcing his ribs against the steel.  Lots of fans giving Moose crap.  Moose chopped him hard on the floor and followed up on the apron.    Young grabbed his hand and smashed it into the ring steps.  Young was cut off and back in the ring, trapped in an abdominal stretch.  Moose then locked on a bearhug.  The crowd rallied behind Young.  He tried to battle out but was caught yet again as Moose tried to grind him down.  The fans chanted for Young.

Moose maneuvered Young to the top for a superplex and nailed it.  Moose went for another suplex but Young reversed it.  Young nailed some big right hands.  They battled back and forth.  Young knocked Moose off the top and almost scored the pin after a flying elbow.  Moose pulled him off the top and nailed a Sky High for a two count.  Both men were down and fought to their feet.

Moose nailed Young with forearms and EY battled back.  They attacked each other with punches.  Moose went for the spear but was caught and hit with a piledriver.  Moose was turned inside out with a clothesline and hit with another.  He covered Moose, who placed his foot on the bottom rope at the last second.  Young went for another piledriver but Moose killed him with a spear.  Young kicked out at the last second.

They battled outside to the apron, where Young nailed a piledriver.  The crowd chanted for TNA.  Young forced Moose back into the ring and called for another piledriver.  The System ran out but Young hit them with a dive as they came to ringside.  Moose cut off Young on the top but was hit with a Canadian Destroyer.   The System pulled the referee out of the ring, so he ejected him.

A member of the TNA crew attacked Young, revealing himself to be Frankie Kazarian.  He tossed Young in the ring where Moose speared and pinned him,

Your winner and still Champion, Moose!

Kazarian left through the crowd.

The show went off the air with The System celebrating in the ring.
