Welcome! Hardy vs Hardy, the Final Deletion. Even Superstars from other companies are talking about this non traditional, empty arena showdown from Cameron, North Carolina. Will this truly be the final time as BROTHER NERO and “BROKEN” MATT HARDY do battle? Who will finally win the rights to the Hardy name?

All this and more, Storm vs Drake, and so much more but let’s get to it! Buenos Noches, we are here at the Hardy compound to kick off TNA Impact! Match times are not exact, card subject to change, let’s begin the fiesta right from TNA Impact at the 411 from Pop TV!

In Cameron, it is a Cinco De July as we celebrate Baby Maxell’s birthday? Matt Hardy promises Reby Sky that he will delete Jeff Hardy TONIGHT on Impact Wrestling. He lights the candle on the cake. Bueno.

Maria Kanellis Bennett welcomes everyone in the Impact Zone of Orlando to TNA Impact. Do you believe in The Miracle?

“YES WE DO!”

Mike Bennett makes his way out as we go over his first successful title defense against Braxton Sutter.

He wastes no time in declaring himself the greatest X-Division Champion of all time ever. He was not going to wait to declare himself the champion by handing over the title ala Option C. All us idiots, we need someone to believe in. He is that hero that TNA desperately needs. He has been damn near perfect. So not it is time to turn the perfect record into gold.

ENTER THA CARTER

Dixie is back after her leave and we highlight how she slapped Maria. She calls Mike out on his arrogance and declares Destination X is next week- but he will have to defend the title tonight in an Ultimate X match and it’s a happening… right now!

But before we get to Storm vs Drake, let’s look at Ethan Carter’s reaction to the FINAL DELETION!!!

Eli Drake vs James Storm

King of the Mountain Title Match

Eli attacks and James throws him out! James Storm sends Eli up and over, huge backdrop! Storm mounts and punches Eli in the corner and hits the ten count to the crowd’s delight. James takes a cheapshot over the Ref’s back and Drake has momentum.

Eli socks James across the jaw from the floor, he gabs some goodness to this capacity crowd and begins to yell at the Referee to disqualify. Drake slams the knee and again goes to the crowd, as the fans chant ‘Dummy!’

Drake goes for the pin attempt no. In the Impact Zone next week, we are going to X-Division’s Destination X. Drake again lands the knee, he does his name taunt no. 1 and again gets a two.

We highlight the X-Division Title changing hands back to Eddie Edwards in the Ultimate X.

LEAVE THE MEMORIES ALONE!

Jade vs Marti Belle

Streetfight

Jade attacks Marti on the floor as both smash each other around, Belle slams Jade into the apron edge. Handful of hair toss inside, Marti has the trash can o PLUNDA Tony!

KENDO STICK TO JADE!!

JADE says That’s IT!?!

Well alright then.

OFFICIAL RESULT: Jade at 5:42, Package Piledriver into the Chair

Senor Benjamin is prepping the grounds for the FINAL DELETION. He does good work, that Senor Benjamin. Hell no I can’t find the tilde on this Chromebook.

Jeff Hardy prepares for the FINAL DELETION

OKAY.

Matt Hardy sends a shitload of drones into Jeff’s house. Jeff beats them away with a guitar. Vanguard One, who actually rang the doorbell materializes a hologram of Matt challenging Jeff to Final Deletion.

Jeff rides off after Vanguard One but cannot catch it, and Matt Hardy drives a riding mower through all the designs that Senor Benjamin did, and that makes Senor Benjamin sad.

I love this sport.

Maria screams about shit

Back in the Impact Zone, Maria and Mike bitch a bit, and call out Dixie- but Billy Corgan comes out instead. Maria wastes no time in kissing his ass. She calls out Dixie, and she flips the fuck out.

Maria screams incoherently until Dixie calls her out on her bluff. She says they’re both a joke. Bennett says he made a difference and people tune in to see him. He demands to be put in the main event of Destination X for the World Title. Or they walk.

“WALK! WALK! WALK! WALK!”

Billy Corgan screams at her to shut up!

He says he has admiration for both them. He says they’re acting like spoiled children. Corgan says Bennett blew it. He says he came to this company to end this crap, you wanna quit, there’s the door he’ll hold it for them! Wow, actual emotion from Senor Corgan. I knew you had it in ya, Billy.

Miracle asks if they want him to quit. He says he won’t quit! He will ruin Destination X. They will not die like dogs, they will fight like lions! Maria and Mike leave the ring.

Matt Hardy makes Senor Benjamin use gasoline on the field near the ring? This is gonna be glorious.

Lashley says he’s never been in a fight where you do circus tricks. Eddie Edwards, congratulations on your win. You either keep the X-Division Title, or you vacate and go for his belt. Lashley says keep it. Because Edwards isn’t ready for him.

Decay & Rosemary vs BroMans & Raquel

Jesse and Raquel tell Robbie E that they have been whispering lately because he can’t keep a secret. Using his Big Brother camera, Jesse shows Decay footage of Rosemary kissing Bram!

Decay get attacked by the BroMans and finally it breaks down into a match. Crazzy Steve wins back momentum and attacks as Abyss makes it in and crushes Godderz in the corner.

Abyss hits the snapmare and neck vise, the Beautiful Person battling with Jesse who hits a shoulder off the top!

Abyss heads for Steve and Robbie E comes in first! E takes him down, nailing line after line and BOOM DROP on Steve! Robbie E tags in to Jesse and Godderz kicks Abyss from the apron! ADONIS LOCK ON STEVE!

Rosemary is in and jumps on Jesse!

RAQUEL KICK TO ROSEMARY!

PLANCHA OFF THE APRON INTO ROSEMARY!

Steve attacks Robbie E! He wants Abyss to chokeslam him into Robbie E, but Robbie rolls and Abyss misses with Steve!

Jesse comes off the ropes, springboard forearm across the ring into the Monster Abyss! BRODOWN ON STEVE!! Decay never had their heads in the game thanks to footage of that backstage kiss. The BroMans defeat the Tag Team Champs!

OFFICIAL RESULT: BroMans at 4:48, BroDown

Will Eddie Edwards cash in for Option C?

Eddie is in the ring as JB Jeremy Borash asks him if he will cash in the X-Division Title to challenge Lashley at Destination X?

Edwards says he did not expect to be the Champion tonight, but a lot can change in a short amount of time. His choice is-

“Domination” kicks up over the loudspeakers. Enter the World Champion. Lashley is on his way to the ring, wearing a “Future Legend” jersey. The Destroyer takes the mic and he sizes up his potential challenger.

Lashley says he likes him, and he is an amazing wrestler. Everybody likes Eddie. And he’s a great X-Division Champion. But make no mistake about it. He is the most dominant wrestler in the business today. But he doesn’t want Eddie to make a mistake.

Eddie says he’s worked with broken bones and he’s won. He tells Lashley not to touch him. Lashley tells him he ended Kurt Angle’s career. He says he ran off Galloway and Carter. He has a better idea. He wants Title for Title instead. Lashley says don’t vacate, put it up. Or Edwards can walk out of the ring right now and they will never speak of this again.

Eddie says his heart tells him that the X-Division Title tells him that they are the best wrestlers in the world. His head and everyone else says not to- but next week,

TITLE vs TITLE-

LASHLEY hits Edwards!

Lashley Suplexes Eddie! EDDIE COUNTERS THE SPEAR WITH A BOSTON KNEE PARTY!

And Lashley rolls from the ring, he no sells. Next week, what a main event.

Galloway vs Carter, Live via Satellite.

Ethan says he has decorum, but he tells Drew to blame himself for losing the title. Galloway says they do have similarities. But Carter is not the wrestler, or man he is. He says Ethan is a good entertainer, but he’s standing in his way.

EC3 says he’s beaten all the asses in this company. The World Title doesn’t belong to anyone. Drew lost. Galloway says every time he goes for his title, Ethan is in his way. Maybe they should fight.

Ethan says he’ll put on his nicest asskicking jeans, and his asskicking Oxfords, and at Destination X, he’s gonna kick his ass.

Referee Andrew Thomas arrives and can’t believe what he’s signed up for. “Broken” Matt Hardy tells him his only job is to count the fall or REGISTAH the submission, and not to revive BROTHA NERO. He says Stradivari gave him his violin because why not. Matt plays his wacky violin as Jeff Hardy arrives to begin the fight. The darkness is lit in fire as the ring is surrounded outside, this is going to be fun to call.

Welcome everyone to our main event presented by 411,

THIS IS!

Hardy vs Hardy

The Final Deletion

Thomas says bell so bell I guess!

PUNCH FROM JEFF! Whip reversed, Matt for the bulldog no! Jeff blocks and knocks Matt off the top rope, SUPLEX from the second! SPLASH from Jeff! Cover, NO!

Jeff Hardy to the outside, he throws up the cover, and pulls out a what the – a divider? THROWS MATT through it! Jeff drags Matt and cover- NO!

Double Axe!

Jeff no kick AND TWIST OF HATE!!!

NOOO!

Matt screams and he has the keno stick! Whips it down into Jeff, slams the legs, and beats down the knees of Brother Nero! Matt to the outside.

Ladder in and Ladder Ram on the Charismatic, oh, ladder to the throat in the corner- Jeff is gagging. Matt BITES HIS FINGERS. Biting the ribs! Jeff kicks Matt and TWIST OF FATE!!

The shirt comes off, Jeff to the tiop ripe, SWANTON INTO MATT!!

NOOOOOOO!!!!

Jeff sets up the ladder, albeit weakly and kicking Matt, places him on the ladder, beating him to keep him prone. Jeff leaves the ring… disappearing into the darkness AND HE CLIMBS A DAMN TREE!!

Jeff Hardy up in the trees! MATT KIND OF MOVES!

JEFF SWANTONS OFF THE TREE THROUGH MATT AND THE LADDER!

KICKOUT!

Matt escapes, and lights off a Roman Candle! SHOOTING THEM ACROSS THE RING AT JEFF!!

“WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU!?!”

Jeff is lost in the smoke as Matt takes up a shovel handle, stalking Brother Nero,

‘OH SHIT!’

Jeff chases Matt with a Roman Candle! Matt hides under his rowboat! Jeff pulls it and no Matt wraps the sleeper! THEY GO INTO THE LAKE!

MATT HARDY takes the man into the lake and emerges victorious!

WILLOW STEPS FROM THE LAKE! UMBRELLA AROUND THE NECK!

Oh noes did Senor Benjamin interfere? Matt pins Willow-

NO UNDER THE MASK IS SENOR BENJAMIN!!

Matt stumbles through the JEFF attacks him!

Jeff Hardy drags Matt by the neck, choking him out, into the open grave. Underneath a Hardy sign, Jeff climbs to the very top, because of course he does- and we flash back to Matt lighting Maxell’s candle- which was the plan all along as Matt sets the sign on fire! It goes up in flames and Jeff falls off of the symbol, crashing to the dirt, and FINALLY “Broken” Matt Hardy wins. He pins Jeff in the grave.

Brother Nero has been deleted!

OFFICIAL RESULT: “Broken” Matt Hardy at 9:26, Final Deletion
