Midweek wrestling

TNA XPlosion

-Commentators: Jeremy Borash & Pat Kenney.
-Shawn Hernandez d. World Tag Team Champion Of The World Frankie Kazarian after the Dominator.

WWE NXT6

Commentators: Byron Saxton, S. William Regal, & Jim Ross(for the main event). Ring announcer: Chris Russo.

Trent Barreta vs. Johnny Curtis: Where's Trent? There's Trent! He's been on the shelf for several months with a torn tricep(sayeth Byron). Barreta goes to the top rope too early and gets yanked down onto the turnbuckles. Curtis targets the arm and sets up a superplex, only to get sunset-bombed for a near-fall. Trent continues the comeback with an enzuigiri and Whisper In The Wind for another close two-count...but the Dudebuster DDT is blocked and Curtis gives him an overhead suplex into the corner! Cover...for two. Third floor...guillotine legdrop misses! Trent capitalizes with the Gobstopper(flying knee strike) and that's enough for the win!

Alicia Fox(w/o entrance) vs. Paige Knight: This will be a tough test for Paige against a former champion. We start with technial wrestling and Paige gets four near-falls in a row with an O'Connor roll, backslide, small package, and Oklahoma roll. Alicia is left a bit flustered and they trade slaps...NOW it's on. Fox pulls off a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker for her own two-count and slows the pace a bit...Paige tries a slam but her back is hurting(PSYCHOLOGY~!). Alicia comes back with the Northern Lights suplex for two, then keeps her focus on the back. It seems like Paige is the fan favorite here...Fox tries to cut her off but Paige nicely maneuvers into her cradle DDT finisher for the upset victory!

The Raw Rebound puts a spotlight on the finish to the Raw main event...brought about by a newbie referee that looked a lot like Brad Maddox.

Jimmy Uso(w/ Jey)(w/o entrance) vs. Conor O'Brian(w/ Kenneth Cameron): Jey beat Cameron last week so now their tag partners are fighting. Jimmy gets an early advantage, but a baseball slide whiffs and Conor yanks him to the floor. The momentum shifts and Jimmy delivers the Samoan Drop and Umaga Smash, but Cameron runs interference only to be yanked off the apron by Jey. The referee backs Jey off, conveniently missing Cameron tripping up Jimmy on the ropes. O'Brian follows up with a flying boot to the face...that'll do it. Jey checks on his fallen brother and is quickly attacked by the Ascension duo...TOTAL ELIMINATION~! lays him out.

Briley Pierce still works here and interviews Bo Dallas backstage, but Michael McGillicutty quickly interrupts to gloat about his win over Tyson Kidd last week. Bo responds by punching him in the mouth...cue pullapart brawl with the referees quickly arriving to restore order.

Oliver Grey vs. Kassius Ohno: Ohno refers to this as a "sparring session"...okay. He fends off a brief flurry by Grey and actually gets a quick tapout with a modified CRAVATE~! Out of the goodness of his heart, Ohno gives Grey "another shot"...then levels him with the roaring elbow. He hooks the CRAVATE~! again for another tapout...then Richie Steamboat makes an appearance to send Ohno into retreat mode.

Really weird Leo Kruger vignette.

NXT Champion Seth Rollins vs. Rick Victor, non-title: YAY WRESTLING~! Victor stalls a bit and slips out of the ring to avoid a kick, then counters the incoming suicide dive with a forearm to the mush. Victor controls the pace after that...Rollins comes back with a jawbreaker but Victor stops him in his tracks with a killer high knee. Seth keeps firing back and doesn't take it well when Victor gives him another slap to the face...I feel a comeback coming! Enzuigiri sets up the Blackout and that wraps up our main event!

TNA Impact

Commentators: Mike Tenay & Taz.

Kurt Angle & A.J. Styles vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr. & Shawn Hernandez ended in a no-contest when World Tag Team Champions Of The World Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian attacked Styles and Chavo.

Douglas Williams d. Evan Markopoulos with an inverted Crippler Crossface submission hold.

James Storm and Bobby Roode brawled to a double DQ after both men shoved the referee as he was trying to get the match under control.

Bully Ray d. Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries(non-title) after knocking him out with a chain after the referee was knocked down. Jeff Hardy saved Aries from a post-match BELTing, leading to a confrontation when Aries took exception to Hardy posing with the belt.
