Impact Taping
Match 1) Nic Nemeth defeated Trey Miguel with Zachary Wentz via Superkick. Steven Maclin and The Rascalz attacked Nic after the match.
Match 2) Decay (Rosemary and Havok) defeated Mila Moore and Savannah Thorne in a non-title match.
Match 3) Brian Meyers defeated Kevin Knight via the Roster Cut. Kazarian came to the ring for a promo. He mentioned over the last couple of weeks he has been asked one question: why? Why did he turn on Eric Young? One year ago he came back to TNA and he says he saved this company. He said he loves this place and he is in all of the videos showing he was out in the water giving everything for the company much like how he has given to the wrestling business for 25 years. He says he has given more than anything the audience can imagine. He will now start taking because he has earned the right to do that. For too long he has has watched those not as talented or dependable as him be given opportunities or repeaing benefits. Going forward he has no desire to be a hero to the people. The only thing the people like them is they have permission to thank him Going forward he has no desire to be a hero to the fans because the only thing fans love more than a hero is seeing the hero fail. The hero must become the monster and that’s what he is going to do. That brings him to Eric Young. He says in a lot of ways Eric is the heartbeat of TNA. History does not remember soldiers it remembers kings and that’s what he plans to be. Eric Young was but a means to an end. He made his decision for the betterment of TNA wrestling. He will no longer walk in the shadows or be taken for granted. If he has to walk that path alone so be it because as far as the fans are concerned the fans have permission to thank him now (a nod to Bad Influence’s catchphrase in TNA in 2012-2013.) Deaner comes out for a promo. He announces the Design is dead. As he continues, PCO’s music hits and he is brought to the ring and raises off of his stretcher.
Match 4) PCO defeats Deaner with a moonsault.
Match 5) Masha Slamovich with Killer Kelly defeated Jody Threat with Dani Luna via snowplow. Kelly tried to distract at one point resulting in her and Dani Luna getting into a fight on the floor.
