Pre-show
Steve McLean defeated Rich Swann Swann missed the Phoenix splash. McLean loaded Swann into the Tree of Woe for a spear. Mr. Mayhem finished off the Kia with a double hook DDT.
Moose, Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards and Alisha Edwards are joined by former NFL running back D’Angelo Williams. They introduced the group’s new name, The System. They tried to do it the right way within the Impact/TNA system, but they realized they didn’t belong in the system. This is because they are the system.
“Top Dolla” AJ Francis used his own money to buy time on Hard to Kill to debut his new music video with DJ Whoo Kid for the song “We Out$ide.” It wasn’t long before Joe Hendry interrupted. Hendry played his music video making fun of Francis, especially his failed jump over the ropes in WWE. DJ Whoo Kid smashes a laptop onto Hendry’s back, and Francis chokes him out.
Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers defeated Eric Young and Frankie Kazarian The System rallied for a lariat from Myers to Kaz, then hit Edwards with a Boston Knee. Myers picked up the pin on Kaz to win.
TNA Digital Media Championship: Crazzy Steve defeated Tommy Dreamer to win the title. There are no DQ rules in effect. Steve was more violent than Dreamer. Steve tied Dreamer’s hands together to leave him vulnerable. After piling plastic forks on Dreamer’s body, Steve fires a cannonball into the corner. The flying DDT was the finish for the new champion.
