When the show returns. A promo airs for the six sides of steel cage match for the vacant TNA Knockouts Championship between Jade and Rosemary later tonight.
The DCC makes their way into the ring. In their black suit/white tie/white mask attire. James Storm takes the mic in ring. He keeps the mask on and his voice is distorted. A recording plays over the sound system. “Storm” says that the DCC represents people who have been trampled on and passed by. Storm says that they are not here to delete or make anyone obsolete. He then goes on to say that The Hardy’s are going to be erased….. That when The Hardy’s fall. They will rise. Jeff Hardy’s music hits. He arrives alone with both tag titles draped over his shoulders. Jeff gets into the ring and confronts the DCC. He gets on the mic and tells them that they think that they are a virus. Jeff says that the DCC is not going to spread on TNA. That they will be facing him and his brother for the tag titles. The two men who survived the great war. The two men who got stronger from The Final Deletion. Jeff tells the DCC that their movement will end with the push of the delete button. He starts a delete chant with the crowd. The DCC take off their masks. Eddie Kingston in his own voice, laughs at Jeff and asks him where Matt is. Jeff strikes him and The DCC pounces on Jeff. Storm grabs the tag title and hits him with it. They both beat down Jeff as the crowd chants for Matt…. DCC’s countdown clock appears on screen and when the lights go out, “Broken” Matt Hardy is in the ring. Matt attacks the DCC and sends them out of the ring. Jeff gets on the mic and with his back turned to Matt. He says Brother Moore?…. “I knew you’d come”. Not sure if Jeff is playing a joke on Matt by calling him Moore. Could be a shout out to his buddy Shannon Moore…. anyway… Matt gets on the mic and says that the tag titles belong to their broken brilliance. He says that his memory has been restored and is more vivid than ever. The Hardy’s will defend the titles against the DCC later tonight. Matt changes what the DCC acronym stands for to “Deletion Coming Cowards!”. Matt leads the crowd in a “Delete” chant to end the segment.
A promo airs featuring Team Go For Broke. Mandrews, Braxton Sutter and DJZ talk about their team and their upcoming 3 way match for the X title tonight. All 3 men say that they will all still be a team, no matter who ends up winning.
Three-Way Match for The TNA X Division Championship
DJ Z vs. Braxton Sutter vs. Mandrews
These 3 men actually won a Team X Gold elimination match last week, that led to this. With the winning team getting an X Division Title Shot. Go For Broke won, so Z has to defend against his two partners.
Tornado styled 3-Way with all 3 men starting off in the ring. Z is disposed of and sent to the outside of the ring early on. Mandrews and Sutter go at it for awhile. Mandrews hits Sutter with a basement drop kick. Z is back in. Mandrews then hits a northern lights suplex on him. Follows that up with a standing moonsault. He covers DJ for a 2 count. Z rolls to the outside of the ring. Sutter is back up. He hits a powerslam on Mandrews. Braxton ends up being thrown to the ropes and backflipped out of the ring by a returning DJ Z. Mandrews then kicks Z off of the ring apron. He ends up leaping onto the steel steps, and moonsaulting onto both Z and Sutter on the outside. …
