XPlosion, NXT, Impact

TNA XPlosion

Commentators: Jeremy Borash & Eric Bischoff.

Velvet Sky vs. Angelina Love: Ironic that the Women's Tag Team Titles introduced specifically for these two were never held by this specific duo of Beautiful People. Velvet gets the win with the sitout Pedigree.

Commentators: Josh Mathews & S. William Regal. Emcee: Matt Striker.

Jimmy & Jey Uso vs. Titus O'Neil & Darren Young: Regal set the theme for the night...wall-to-wall tag team wrestling. SIVA TAU~! Titus & Darren mock the entrance with their own version...um, yeah. This fires up the brothers as they dish out an early beating on O'Neil. Titus learns the hard way not to headbutt a Samoan as Jimmy returns the favor with slightly more effectiveness. The Usos clear the ring, then Jey dives off the apron onto Young as Jimmy connects with a suicide dive on O'Neil...nicely done. O'Neil & Young turn the tide and isolate Jey from his corner...but it doesn't last and Jimmy finally gets the tag. Jimmy goes aerial against Titus and nails the Umaga Smash but Young breaks up the pin. Jey dumps Young but Titus dumps Jey, then Jimmy kicks Titus in mid-air to stop a Clash Of The Titus attempt. He follows up with the Samoan Drop, then tags Jey to finish with the Headshrinker Splash!

Earlier today: Alex Riley & Percy Watson bonded over basketball only to run into Tyler Reks & Curt Hawkins. Regal decided that a match was in order...

Alex Riley & Percy Watson vs. Tyler Reks & Curt Hawkins: Riley's pushing the idea that Percy would rather "look good and lose" than "look bad and win"...hmm. Reks & Hawkins are the more established pairing and get Watson in their corner fairly quickly. A-Ry gets the hot tag and the house is on fire, but Reks cuts off Riley's climb to the top rope...so Percy takes them both out of the game with a Cactus Clothesline. However, that gives Hawkins enough of an opening to slam Riley off the turnbuckles...he follows that up with the Heatseeking Elbow for the victory. Looks like they won't be doing Regal's laundry as threatened...

Maxine Perez makes herself at home in Striker's office only to literally run into Kaitlyn Bonin...see, she and Derrick Bateman were playing tag. Derrick and Johnny Curtis join the verbal party...that's our main event.

Enter Michael McGillicutty...he got into an altercation with Tyson Kidd last week over Kidd's rather direct request for a rematch. MM says no to the rematch, so naturally Kidd arrives to take exception. Kidd mentions his experience and training and McGillicutty says that he'll NEVER be a Hart no matter how much he trains. This sparks a brawl that quickly spills out of the ring...Kidd teases the Sharpshooter but McGillicutty kicks him away and retreats from the ring. Suddenly MM is wanting that rematch after all...

Derrick Bateman & Kaitlyn Bonin vs. Johnny Curtis & Maxine Perez: CATFIIIIIGHT~! to start...why not? Bateman goes on offense against Curtis, but he misses a high knee in the corner and Curtis attacks the leg. Curtis keeps getting distracted by Kaitlyn, allowing Bateman to fight back with an enzuigiri. Curtis crawls to the wrong corner and Kaitlyn nails him...so Bateman capitalizes with the Mantastic DDT for the three-count! Kaitlyn hugs Derrick's mom at ringside...hmm. Maxine yells at Curtis in the ring...and it looks like Bateman has chosen to spend his time with Kaitlyn instead. "Tag, you're it!" and he returns that kiss from two weeks ago.

TNA Impact

Commentators: Mike Tenay & Taz.

Madison Rayne d. Velvet Sky by rolling through an O'Connor Roll and holding the tights.

Tommy "Crimson" Mercer(w/ Matt Morgan) d. Tag Team Champion Samoa Joe(w/ Brutus Magnus); Morgan took out Magnus on the floor and then snapped Joe's throat off the top rope behind the referee's back, giving Crimson the opening to spear Joe for the victory. Seems like the face/heel roles have been reversed in this feud...

X-Division Champion Austin Aries celebrated his lengthy title reign only to be interrupted by Shiima Xion...is Aries actually the face in this feud?

Women's Champion Gail Kim d. Mickie James(n/t) after BELTing her from the floor as the referee tried to back Mickie off.

Ken Anderson d. Christopher Daniels with the Mic Check after A.J. Styles stopped Frankie Kazarian from interfering.

Garett Bischoff d. Kurt Angle in a five-minute challenge by surviving the five minutes(Angle hit the Olympic Slam right before the time limit expired). Jeff Hardy saved Garett from a post-match anklelock.

James Storm d. Phil Gunner(w/ Bully Ray) after the Closing Time lungblower followed by the Last Call superkick.

The show ended with a contract signing for the Bobby Roode/Sting match at Victory Road, which will be a no-holds-barred match...
