OFFICIAL RESULT: Galloway at 9:00, Judges’ Decision

Drew Galloway is going to Bound For Glory and the Finals. JB comes to the ring to ask Galloway if he prefers anyone at Bound For Glory. He says he is the same person, he is the number one soldier but he figured out how everything works. TNA is rigged, designed to favor certain people. But the rules won’t let that happen. So he tells EC3 and Lashley to get the match order changed because they won’t be able to follow Drew Galloway-

EC3 implores Drew to tread lightly. Galloway says Nashville is protecting him. He says when he is Champion, Carter doesn’t have to politic, he can have a shot, after he loses to Lashley. He says Carter can’t last two rounds and walks away.

EC3 says he can’t beat him in two rounds of verbal sparring. He can beat the man anytime, anywhere and

“Domination” kicks up over the PA system! The Champ walks out, a sideways look exchanged to Drew as Lashley MIKE BENNETT is attacking EC3

SPEAR BY LASHLEY!

LASHLEY WITH THE SPEAR!

Moose and Carter are left laying as Miracle and the Champ walk off celebrating.

Backstage Allie is setting up a mystery someone to help Maria work out in preparation for her upcoming match against Gail at BFG. She mocks Allie and calls her stupid once again. Poor little blonde girl.

Aron Rex and Eli Drake trade barbs in a promo for tonight’s Semi Finals match. Both are excellent talkers, they go over their first round wins and tonight say the other one is in their way come this match, the winner to face Drew in the Finals at BFG.

Backstage Lashley tells Bennett they are not best friends, he has no friends and don’t say that again. Bennett says don’t worry about Moose he will take care of him and Lashley will beat EC3. He says then maybe he can have a shot and Lashley tells him he shouldn’t want a title shot after what he just saw. Bennett says yes of course and just focus on tonight. Lashley isn’t impressed.

“Resurrection” by Sstaria heralds Aron Rex and Eli Drake has made it to the ring, and he wants the mic.

He sees across the ring “Dummy, Yeah!” standing in front of you, looking in those eyes is the man they call E Li DRAKE. He is the namer of dummies, and the perpetual motion of badassery. If you get too chatty, and you fly that tongue, you’re gonna a whole lot of pyrotechnic classery that you can’t handle.

Rex says he can eat alphabet soup and crap out better insults than Drake’s petty words. Welcome to the big leagues. Once upon a time an out of work Chippendales’ Dancer and a Muppet got busy and out comes Eli. He mocks his kneepads and audacity and that he calls everyone Dummies.

“YEAH!”

Eli ain’t happy the man is stealing his lines.

Aron is all kinds of great and wonderful. See this:

“OBSOLETE!!!!”

Rosemary says they are the Death Dealers! There are two of them and three of Decay! Bring your great war, and it will be Bound For DECAY!

Matt says what a Delight! The seven deities have decreed that Decay are Bound For Glory! The lights go out and they come on and Steve and Abyss are tied to the corners!
