TNA Impact

-Commentators:  Josh Mathews & Taz.
-The show started with the newly-named Beat Down Crew(Montel Vontavious Porter, Kenny King, Samoa Joe, & Low-Ki) speaking their minds.  "Showtime" Eric Young made an appearance...he's not a part of the Clan, but he was upset about Bobby Roode not giving him a Heavyweight Title shot when EY gave HIM a shot as champion.  Also, Roode never called or visited him in the hospital when he was injured in the act of defending his friend...but it was M.V.P. who contacted him and he saw the light.  M.V.P. introduced new Heavyweight Champion Bobby Lashley...but he didn't show up and he got Kurt Angle instead.  Joe confronted him, leading to a match...
-Samoa Joe d. Kurt Angle; a ref bump and punt to the groin gave him the opening to hook the Kokita Clutch for the tapout (joined in progress; 6:13 aired).  The rest of the B.D.C. and Eric Young re-entered the ring for the post-match beatdown but Bobby Roode ran them off with a chair.
-Roode addressed the events of last week, vowing to make Eric Young pay for his betrayal.
-In a clip from Impact Unlocked, Mike Tenay interviewed Brutus Magnus...now that he's a family man, he's found a new purpose in his career.
-The Hardy Boys(Jeff & Matt) d. The American Wolves(Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) when Matt pinned Edwards after a Big Ending(Matt)/Twist Of Fate(Jeff) combo (10:09).  Tag Team Champions "Cowboy" James Storm & Abyss watched the match from the balcony along with The Great Senada, Manik, and new recruit Koya(aka Mahabali Shera).
-Next week:  The Feast-Or-Fired Match.
-Ethan Carter III got into the control room to bug ring announcer Jeremy Borash over the headsets.  Since Borash was telling Rockstar Spud that EC3 would get what was coming to him, EC3 challenged Borash to a match.
-"Showtime" Eric Young d. Bobby Roode in a no-DQ match; Young raked the eyes to escape the Death Valley Driver and threw Roode head-first into a chair in the corner, then got the win after a piledriver on another chair (5:35 aired).  M.V.P. and King came out to add insult to injury...
-The Beautiful People(Angelina Love & Velvet Sky)(w/ Robbie Eckos, Jessie Godderz, & D.J. Shiima Xion) d. Women's Champion Taryn Terrell & Brooke Tessmacher; Brooke was distrated by Robbie E and Velvet rolled her up with a handful of tights (2:27).  LIGHTS OFF LIGHTS ON and Amazing Kong appeared in the ring to beat up the Beautiful People...Kong dropped Angelina with the Implant Buster and then chokeslammed Xion.  Enter Jessicka Havok...El Big Staredown with Kong ensued and referees and security had to keep them separated.
-Backstage:  EC3 cornered Borash and goaded him into accepting his challenge.
-Elsewhere backstage:  Manik and James Storm introduced us to the newly-renamed Koya.  He debuts next week.
-Low-Ki(w/ M.V.P., King, & Joe) d. Austin Aries to win the X-Division Title; the B.D.C. distracted the ref as Aries had Low-Ki in the Last Chancery, leading to Aries taking them out with a low-flying suicide dive.  However, King tripped Aries on the top rope and Low-Ki hit the Ki-Krusher to win (6:50).
-Afterwards, the B.D.C. and Eric Young called Lashley out to the ring...M.V.P. said the Heavyweight Title belonged to all of them, but Lashley disagreed with that point of view.  M.V.P. acted like they would part ways on good terms...but then the heels gang-attacked Lashley.  Ladies and gentlemen, we have a face turn.  The B.D.C. left a bloody Lashley in the ring and M.V.P. walked out with the title belt.
