TNA Genesis 2018 - Eli Drake vs. Alberto el Patron vs. Johnny Impac
We start off with all three guys fighting one another before Eli and Alberto create an uneasy alliance...that lasts about three seconds before they trade shots and both try to climb out at the same time. Impact drags them both down and ping pongs both men back and forth into the cage walls. Impact tries to climb out, but Alberto pulls him down and he lands face first on the top rope. Alberto with a lungblower on Eli for 2. Alberto hangs Impact in the Tree of Joey Lawrence and tries coming off the cage with the double stomp, but Impact moves out of the way, then Eli grabs Impact and hits a bodybag as we go to commercial.
We're back as all three men trade blows in the middle of the ring until Eli drops to his knees and cracks both men in the ding ding. Drake goes on a rampage dishing out offensive maneuvers to both men, but then Impact freestyle walks off the cage and wipes Drake out, and now it's his turn to rampage. He tries to climb out, but Alberto drags him down and hits a climbing enziguiri in the corner for 2. Alberto gets his rampage in, then winds up duking it out with Impact on the top rope. Impact gets knocked down, conveniently right into the Tree of Woe. NOW Alberto connects with the double stomp and then gets Drake in the cross armbreaker. Impact pulls himself up and breaks that up with an elbowdrop as all three men are down. All three get up, all three climb the same corner, and all three fight it out until Alberto and Drake both get knocked down. Impact climbs back up and takes both opponents out with a crossbody, but doesn't have the wherewithal to make a cover. Alberto is somehow the first one up, but Eli is second and hits Alberto with the Gravy Train for 2. Alberto tries to escape through the door, but Chris Adonis slams the cage door on his head. In the meantime, Drake and Impact both climb over the cage and Impact drops down, but Adonis catches him so Eli can hit the floor first.
Winner: Eli Drake
The Don West trending topics of the week were topped by Kazarian vs. Bear Bronson taking place this Thursday.
Gia Miller interviewed Killer Kelly, discussing Kelly becoming a mother and returning to the ring just seven months after. She was performing in TNA without knowing she was pregnant. She noted she recently took an independent date and didn't bring her daughter and everyone in the locker room asked where she was and they joked that everyone just wants to see her kid now. Fun little conversation.
They showed highlights of the mystery Christmas tag match on Impact.
Jada Stone vs. Jody Threat
Stone showed some nice intensity early but Threat caught her going for a rana and slammed her. Stone came back but missed a standing moonsault. Threat nailed a senton and a series of clubbing shots in the corner. Threat held her aloft for a delayed vertical suplex before dropping Stone down for a near fall. Threat nailed a snap suplex for another two count. Stone tried to battle back but was worked over in the corner and nailed with an elbowsmash for a two count.
Threat locked up Stone and locked her in a submission, but Stone escaped. Stone nailed a springboard rana and a double knee strike. Stone nailed a nice clothesline and a standing moonsault for a two count. Stone missed a charge in the corner. She came off the rope but was caught and slammed with a TKO for the pin.
Your winner, Jody Threat!
That's all for this week!
