“TROUBLE TROUBLE TROUBLE”

EC3 makes his way out, he’s our guest GM and Ethan goes face to face with Bennett. Carter wastes no time he books himself into a match with Bennett at Slammiversary. He gives him the night off to make sure he’s pristine. Bennett takes credit for the ratings wins of last week wholeheartedly. Miracle says fine.

EC3 says wait hey hold on, Bennett ain’t wrestling, but he does need to work sooo… Kenny Smith, the Custodial Director brings out the mop bucket and orders Mike to clean some toilets. Maria flips out and Ethan says because she put her hands on Gail we are going to have a good old fashioned Job Evaluation where Maria could get fired!

The fans sing Bennett and Maria out as the man kicks his mop bucket!

ENTER LASHLEY

“Domination” booms over the PA as The Destroyer makes his arrival to the Impact Zone. Lashley is allll smiles. He threatens Ethan and Carter says he relegates his power to Drew as we have Pick Your Poison!

Backstage Bennett is complaining about the bathroom as Ethan goes over the stalls and each one is progressively worse. Mike complains about getting his yellow shoes dirty and Ethan has a cup of coffee.

Lashley stands in the ring and Drew tells him since he’s so eager to go first, his drinking buddy from Team TNA-

BRAM

Bram attacks to the brawling goes and pulls the headband down over the eyes! Novel. Bram gets to strike the mat with his back as Lashley overpowers him rather easily.

Short with Robbie E and Jesse G poolside, getting some motivation as they watch Raquel parade around in a gold two piece. I’d go over 12 percent for that. The BroMans are told to focus, perhaps there’s something to this new business manager after all.

Backstage, Earl Hebner exits the bathroom stall and is told by Ethan Carter to help The Miracle prepare to respect referees, by refereeing our next match. Bennett is none too pleased but Earl seems to be enjoying this. It’s fitting after Bennett embarrassed him weeks ago.

We get an aerial shot of Matt Hardy’s house in Cameron, North Carolina as he has invited TNA Cameras to show “Brother Nero” what he has planned for him come Slammiversary.

Eli Drake is celebrating his title win, popping the champagne, all over the dummies in the back. Glorious.

Spud & Tyrus vs The BroMans

Number One Contenders’ Match

Mike Bennett is reluctantly in the ring as The BroMans have Raquel at ringside. Robbie and Jesse double team Spud for a bit, trying for a pin but only a two. Robbie gets in Mike’s face and Tyrus attacks from behind saying there was a tag. Bennett says sure and Tyrus tosses Robbie with the Explodah!

Spud tags in to wear down and Jesse gets into a yelling fight with Bennett as Tyrus tags in and crashes into Godderz! Tyrus lands the Facedrop on Robbie as Spud tags in… Raquel is distracting Tyrus!

Spud is distracted, and gorilla pressed by Jesse! Jesse throws Spud into Tyrus and Robbie dives off the top to take both down! Inside the ring they hit the BroDown on Spud! Adonis Crab and Spud is tapping but Bennett doesn’t doesn’t want to call it. Finally, he calls the submission and The BroMans are going to Slammiversary.

OFFICIAL RESULT: The BroMans at 4:04, Adonis Lock

Backstage, Maria is bitching to Billy Corgan on her cell phone. Ethan walks in, takes it and hangs up. Maria demands he punish Gail for attacking her, and Ethan says they’re both going to the ring to mediate this, up next.

They show Jeff Hardy driving his dirtbike to Cameron to confront his brother Matt.

Maria’s Job Performance Review

Maria arrives with Sienna and Allie in tow. Ethan Carter III is already in the ring. Allie tells everyone Maria needs her and Ethan tells her people to depart and also shoo. The fans sing them out as Maria is angry.

Maria says she was doing what she feels is right. She is doing a wonderful job. Ethan says he doesn’t think so, it’s what Gail Kim thinks actually.

“Puppets on a String” kicks up over the PA System as Gail makes her way to the ring. Maria mocks her for being a wrestler and if the wrestlers called the shots we’d have anarchy. Ethan says Maria putting her hands on Gail is grounds for dismissal.

Ethan says instead since the Irvines are friends of his, it’s up to Gail. Gail says from the first day she stepped into the federation, she wanted a fight. Maria says no but Ethan, says yes. He makes it official and books the fight for Slammiversary.

Maria says she is going to cement herself in the Hall of Fame by kicking Gail’s ass. Ethan approves and announces Maria’s people to face off with Gail and brings out Jade as her tag team partner! The Knockouts Champion arrives!

Jade & Gail Kim vs Sienna & Allie

Ethan makes Maria sit near him as Allie takes forever getting ready. Gail slams Allie around the ring who finally ducks out and tags in Sienna. Sienna jumps on Gail to pummel her but Gail fights back and tags out to Jade.

Jade hits Sienna and Gial sails for the shot! Jade hits the German on Sienna but Allie distracts for the pin. Jade picks up Gail and swings her into Allie but Sienna takes advantage to attack from behind.

Sienna runs Gail into the corner and hits a delayed vertical to the incessant shrieks of Allie. Sienna taunts Jade with the shake and bake then the spit as Jade runs in and Allie rushes in to choke Gail. They both pick up and slam Gail but Allie only gets two.

Gail kicks her in the head and Allie runs to tag out. Sienna comes in and eats a lungblower! Jade in with the kicks and strikes, jumping dropkick! Roundhouse KICKS and the cover no.

Jade up top and MISSILE TO SIENNA!

Allie breaks it up and runs out as Jade dropkicks Sienna and Allie tags in? She pleads her case but Jade beats her silly and kicks her face off. Sienna wraps Jade but takes an Eat Defeat from Gail! Jade finishes off Allie with the package piledriver!

Maria is furious but Ethan is pleased.

Gail Kim & Jade at 5:26, Package Piledriver

In Cameron, Jeff Hardy arrives at Matt’s mansion and runs past Reby who’s leaving with Maxell and mad at both of them. They argue and she drives off as Jeff goes inside. Matt is playing the piano phantom of the opera style, and taunts Jeff about signing the contract. Jeff shouts at his brother to sign it but Matt says not hear and leaves making Jeff follow.

Inside the Impact Zone, Mike Bennett freaks out on Ethan. He yells in the ring about the abuse to him and his wife. He says he’s the best damn wrestler in the world and should be treated as such. Ethan agrees- and announces he lied about Mike not wrestling. He will face The COWBOY James Storm right now!

“SORRY, ABOUT YOUR DAMN LUCK.”

“God’s Gonna Cut You Down” kicks up as the fans cheer, and James boozer cruises his way to the ring to beat the tar out of Bennett!

James Storm vs The Miracle

Storm is punching Bennett and socks him down! James is all punchayoufaceuh and puts the shades on Mike to sock him down! Storm gets taken down with a clothesline!

Mike removes his ridiculous jacket and is all kicks with the silly gold shoes. Lariat in the corner and a kick to go for the pin- no.

Bennett slams the chinlock and a series of knees to punish James, taking out the night’s frustrations. He punches James in the corner as Maria grins with an evil gleam. James battles back to fly with the forearms!

He gets sent over the side, flying kick from the outside and inside off the ropes, hangman’s! Kicks away the shot and Side Russian! Up and Around and Around, EYE OF THE STORM!

ONE TWO NO!

James flies with the calf wrangler and the lungbower! He gets set for the- Maria is on the apron. She has the beer bottle and James grabs it to take a Slap Of Doom! Schoolboy by Mr. Maria and this match is over!

OFFICIAL RESULT: Mike Bennett, 6:07, Schoolboy

Ethan comes out and promises if Bennett is God, he is the Devil and he will burn the church down! But he leaves The Miracle with this- a kick to the face!

LAST CALL FROM JAMES STORM!

Bennett is out and all Maria can do is glare. Storm celebrates as Ethan leaves, preparing for his chance at vindication.

“I know what you’re all saying! THANK YOU! THANK YOU AL!

Thank you for taking control of this sport and making it what it needs to be!”

Snow says he went to his school in London to find people are the quality athletes. The fans chant “Boring” and he says yes wrestling is boring- and he credits himself to taking the steering wheel away from said stupid fans. He brings out Dax and Baraka, The Tribunal.

They thank Al Snow in English and French. Al says he doesn’t need weapons, unlike that meatbag of suck- Grado. He shows the end of the fight where he pinned Grado with the Snowplow!

Grado enters and shows the rest of the footage, showing Al using a weapon and getting the pin with the help of the Tribunal. Al goes all Luddite and insults Grado’s parents. Shera yells he loves his parents and Al says his mom loves him. That did it.

Grado and Shera run the ring and brawl with The Tribunal until Al beats them from behind with a chair and they overwhelm the rookies.

We will see what went down with the Brothers Hardy, but first, Lashley will pick the opponent for Galloway, next.

Interview time with Braxton Sutter, the former Pepper Parks. He talks about how his break took awhile. He went to his family and thanked them for their support. He always believed in himself, and he didn’t work so hard to be mediocre. He wants to take it to the next level and his life is TNA.
