Flashback: Austin Aries vs. Low Ki 1/7/15
This is from the debut of TNA on Destination America. Slow feeling out process as Josh puts over that Low Ki was the third ever X Division Champion and the first ever Ring of Honor Champion. They do some basic mat work until Aries catches Low Ki with the kickout dropkick for 2. They exchange hard chops which, having seen these two live as many times as I have, are way more vicious than they look and sound on TV. Ki mule kicks Aries, but gets backdropped to the apron where Aries dropkicks him to the floor. Aries tries a heat seeking missile, but Low Ki catches Aries with a leaping enziguiri and covers for 2. Ki unloads on Aries with more chops and kicks, but Aries dumps Ki to the floor and catches him with the second try at the heat seeking missile, then rolls Ki inside and nails him with a missile dropkick, the IED, and he goes for the brainbuster, but Ki slips out and catches Aries in a dragon sleeper. Aries collapses onto the bottom rope to force a break, so Ki puts Aries on the top rope to go for the Ki Krusher. Aries tries to fight Ki off and knocks him to the mat, but takes too long getting off the corner and Ki hits him with another leaping enziguiri. Ki kicks Aries off the top rope, but Aries pops right up and dropkicks Ki onto the top rope, kicks him in the ribs, and hits the brainbuster to regain the X Division Title.
Winner and New X Division Champion: Austin Aries

Flashback: TNA World Title Match: Bobby Roode vs Bobby Lashley 1/7/15
Back to the Destination America debut: They start brawling as soon as Roode enters the ring, and Roode gets the early advantage, hammering Lashley with right hands. Lashley quickly gets a double leg and takes Roode into the corner and rams shoulderblocks into his breadbasket. Josh informs us that the Hardys will face the Wolves next week as Lashley pops Roode up for a delayed vertical suplex, doing it one handed for the last few seconds before dropping the champ and covering him for 2. Lashley misses a couple of elbowdrops and Roode goes for the crossface, but Lashley makes the ropes. Roode takes him down again and gets the crossface this time, but Lashley manages to muscle his way to the ropes to force a break. Lashley slides out to the floor to break the momentum, but Roode doesn't let up, baseball sliding Lashley and ramming him into the barricade. Lashley returns the favor, but Roode charges out of the barricade and nearly rips Lashley's head off with a clothesline as we go backstage and see MVP and Kenny King backstage with a couple of guys in masks. Security won't let them in, so the guys in masks lay the security guy out. Lashley has Roode in the ring and is in control as we go to commercial.
We're back and the two men are trading blows until Lashley pops Roode into the air and flapjacks him on the mat. Lashley with more shoulderblocks in the corner before locking Roode in a chinlock. Lashley changes that up to a bearhug, and uses it to gutwrench Roode to his back for a 2 count. Lashley maintains the bearhug, but Roode gets out and nails Lashley with a clothesline that doesn't faze Lashley. Another one and still no effect, so Roode comes off the ropes and hits a flying clothesline that finally takes Lashley down. Roode with a charging clothesline in the corner and then a Blockbuster off the second rope for 2. Roode goes for the Roode Bomb, Lashley escapes and hits the powerslam for 2. They wind up fighting on the top rope and Roode hits a sunset bomb for 2. Lashley hits Roode with his own Roode Bomb for 2, but he misses a spear and Roode hits one on Lashley for 2. MVP suddenly comes out to the ring with Kenny King and his two guys in masks as Lashley cradles Roode for 2, and Roode kicks out and gets Lashley right in the crossface. Lashley literally powers his way to his feet to escape, but Roode hits the Roode Bomb and covers Lashley for 2. Roode back to the crossface and the ref checks Lashley's arm, but King pulls the ref out to the floor and knocks him out. Kurt Angle runs out to intervene, but gets his ass kicked 4-on-1 as Roode looks on. The masked men get on the ring apron and take their masks off to reveal Low Ki and Samoa Joe, then Eric Young runs in and chases everyone off with a chair...then nails Roode with the chair. Lashley spears Roode and covers him for the win.
Winner and New TNA World Champion: Bobby Lashley
Mara Sade vs. Mila Moore
They grapple and end up on the mat. Moore backs Sade into the corner and breaks clean. She goes for a right but Sade ducked and nailed her own. She drilled Moore several times in the corner and snapmared her over to the mat. Sade nailed a knee strike for a two count. Sade went for a superkick but Moore saw it coming and went to the floor. Sade returned to the floor and tossed her back in the ring. Moore snapped her on the ropes and cinched in an armbar. Sade fired back but was caught with a legdrop for a two count. Sae caught her with the superkick and went to the top. Sade nailed a great looking moonsault and scored the pin.
Your winner, Mara Sade!
