Countdown to Sacrifice Pre-Show Match: Gisele Shaw vs Lady Frost

Frost is hot at Shaw for mocking her after she failed to dethrone Deonna Purrazzo during her champ champ challenge opportunity. Frost sends Shaw out, Shaw thinks she’s got her whipped to the stairs but Frost cartwheels over and hits a head scissor off the apron. Frost tries another head scissor but Shaw kicks out the abdomen. Running uppercut for two. Lariat to the back of the head. Slam to the corner and a twisting Vader bomb for two! Crowd firmly behind Frost. Handspring snowball into the corner from Lady Frost! She wants the moonsault but Shaw pulls Frost to a hangman’s DDT…kick out! Frost with a rollup…it’s close! Shaw with a spinning back fist for two! Frost sweeps the leg…Kick to the head, Shaw catches her at the top trying the moonsault…Frost sends her down…MOONSAULT CONNECTS! Three count! Frost just handed Shaw her first pinfall loss in Impact!

Winner: Lady Frost!

Backstage interview with Mickie James, who is upset that Tasha Steelz stole a win away from Chelsea Greene to get her shot at the title tonight. Chelsea comes in and offers to watch Mickie’s back to prevent Savannah’s interference in the title fight. Mickie declines Greene’s offer as she doesn’t want to give Steelz another excuse for losing. She’s gonna handle business and then move on to Greene’s deserving challenge.

Countdown to Sacrifice Pre-Show Match: Honor No More (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett w/ Maria Kanellis) vs Rich Swann & Willie Mack

Swann and Bennet go right at it from the bell. Rich getting the early hits in but Bennet catches him on a fireman’s carry and gets Taven in there for a missile dropkick. Swann out of an armwringer to tag Mack and Taven’s on the defense. Big rana from Mack and a dropkick before Taven sends him over the top and crashing to the apron with a flying kick. Bennet tries to join the fight but Swann dives back not both of his opponents. Bennet rana’d into spearing Taven! Plancha from Mack! Swann cuts off the interference again but Taven DDT’s Mack for two in the fray. Bennet slingshots Mack into a head kick and flies in for the two. HNM keeps Mack cut off, but a pop up punch and roll through gets the tag to Swann! Running knee to Taven! Rolling splash for two! Tandem pop up bulldog for two! Bennet forearms Mack down. DVD to Swann! Running kick for two! Mack back in the fight, everyone trading heavy shots. Taven and Bennet try a proton pack, Mack pounces Taven out of the pocket.

And we’re live for the Sacrifice main show!

Match 1: Trey Miguel(c) vs Jake Something (X Division Championship Match)

Miguel locks up with Something and that’s just a terrible plan. Trey doesn’t back down and throwing strikes…Jake hangs onto the wrist and knocks off the champ’s head with a lariat for two. Trey targets the arm with kicks and as many ways as he can painfully pull on that limb…til Something powerbombs him for two. Double axe handle to the spine! Trey tries a handspring but Something body blocks him out of the air for two. Trey eating some huge hits but he’s still fighting and trying to take that arm…and like before, Something stops him cold and decks him down. Huuuuuge corner spear for two! Something pulling a print Trey up just to strike him down.

Trey gets a boot to the face in and Something snapped down. Running flying forearms! The champ is fired up! Something ducking kicks…but not all of them. Something starched for two! Trey throwing chops but Jake waking up and smashes Trey to the canvas. Pop up torture rack backbreaker for two!!! Clotheslines on the ropes…Trey reverses to a head kick that sends Jake to the floor…slingshot Canadian Destroyer out of the ring to the floor, holy hell. Miguel brings Something back in before the 10, kick out! Trey tries an armbar but Something buckle bombs him. Powerbomb for two! Something tries another but Trey comes down with a Meteora! Trey dodges a superplex, kicks Something into a tree of woe…Trey comes down with another Meteora and Something is crumbled up for the three. Wild and good match to open the show!

Winner (and Still): Trey Miguel

Match 2: Eddie Edwards (w/ Matt Taven, Kenny King, Vincent, Mike Bennet & Maria) vs Rhino (w/ Chris Sabin, Rich Swann & Willie Mack)

Honor No More’s treacherous Eddie Edwards doesn’t seem like he’s ready for a reckoning tonight, as the numbers game favors him for the moment. Edwards comes in hard but Rhino pummels him into running to his cronies. Rhino eating slaps but it fires him up. Edwards sent out to the Impact team, making this seem like a de facto lumberjack match. Maria tries to hand off Eddie’s kendo stick but the ref is having none of that and he kicks Maria out of the arena! Edwards uses a distract to drop Rhino for a flurry to the head of the war machine. HNM getting some cheap shots in.

The crowd chanting for Rhino and he explodes out of the corner with shoulder blocks and readies the gore! Fighting outside the ring, huge brawl wipes everyone out. Swann in the ring and dives over the ref to take out the whole group. Even Mack takes a flight!

Steve Maclin hits the ring and prevents Edward from using the kendo stick! He fires up Rhino for the gore…and blasts him with the kendo stick himself before walking off. The crowd gives him a loud F*** YOU MACLIN as Eddie Edwards blasts a Boston Knee Party to put Rhino down for the three!

Winner: Eddie Edwards.
