Event

Preliminary matches

In the opening match, The Broken Hardys (Broken Matt and Brother Nero) defended the World Tag Team Championship against DCC (Bram and Kingston) and Decay (Abyss and Crazzy Steve) in a three-way match. Steve spit mist into Kingston's face allowing Matt to deliver a Twist of Fate to Steve to retain the titles.[2]

Next, Drew Galloway issued an open challenge putting his Impact Grand Championship on the line. Moose accepted the challenge. Moose was awarded the win in the round one by suplexing Galloway outside the ring and powerbombing him on the apron. Near the end of the match, Galloway hit low blows to Moose as Moose was about to nail a Game Changer to Galloway and then Galloway followed with a Future Shock to Moose to retain the title.[3]

Near, Rosemary defended the Knockouts Championship against Jade in a Monster's Ball match. Rosemary executed a superplex on Jade through a table to retain the title. After the match, Rosemary spit mist on Gail Kim, who came for Jade's aid.[4]

The penultimate match was a five-way match in which DJZ defended the X Division Championship against Andrew Everett, Marshe Rockett, Trevor Lee and the debuting Caleb Konley. DJZ executed a ZDT on Konley for the win.[4]

Main event match

The main event was an Iron Man match in which Eddie Edwards defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Lashley. Lashley scored the first fall by executing a spear on Edwards. Lashley powerbombed Edwards on the ramp, which led to Edwards getting counted out and Lashley taking the lead with the second fall. Edwards rolled up Lashley by shoving him into an exposed turnbuckle for the third fall. Edwards would then nail a Boston Knee Party to Lashley to score the fourth fall and even the score with 2-2. Lashley applied an anaconda vice on Edwards to take the lead with 3-2. The time limit expired with Lashley winning the match and winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.[5]
