Lotta wrestling

TNA XPlosion

-Commentators:  Mike Tenay & Jeremy Borash.
-Madison Rayne d. Brittany Garrett via spear (5:31 aired).

WWE NXT

-Commentators:  Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton, & S. William Regal.
-"Big Cass" Colin Cassady(w/ Enzo Amore) d. Sylvester Lefort(w/ Marcus Louis) after the East River Crossing(swinging sitout uranagi) followed by the Empire Elbow(S-A-W-F-T into a jumping elbowdrop) (0:49).  The pre-match mic work lasted longer than the actual match...
-Backstage:  Devin Taylor interviewed NXT Champion Adrian Neville; Tyler Breeze interrupted, saying he was injured in a hand modeling accident but he'll cash in his title shot when he feels like it.
-NXT Women's Champion Charlotte Flair & Sasha Banks d. Bayley Rose & Becky Lynch when Charlotte pinned Becky after the Bow Down To The Queen(low-altitude somersault Cutter).  Bayley had a rare display of anger as she threw Sasha out of the ring after the match (7:57 aired).
-Backstage:  Devin Taylor interviewed Justin Gabriel but was interrupted by Tyson Kidd.  Kidd put the idea in Gabriel's head that he's a main-roster superstar who's been relegated to "purgatory"...and he has to do whatever it takes to change the course of his career.
-Backstage:  Charlotte & Sasha had a difference of opinion over Charlotte's lack of help against Bayley.  Sasha informed Charlotte that Summer's facing Bayley next week for the next shot at the NXT Women's Title.
-"The Moonchild" C.J. Parker d. Steve Cutler after a Harlem Side Kick (1:34).  C.J. enlightened us after the match, saying he had an issue with Xavier Woods for getting to the main roster only to embarrass himself and become a loser once he got there.
-Renee Young did a sitdown interview with Tyson Kidd.  Kidd claimed he was off his game at Takeover since his mind was on his wife's disappointment over her previous loss.  He was grateful that Natalya Neidhart stopped him from using a chair in the rematch against NXT Champion Adrian Neville...and his heart wasn't in the Tag Team Title match with Sami Zayn against The Ascension a few weeks ago.  After initially agreeing that no questions were off limits, Kidd walked away when Renee asked him if there were marital problems with him and his wife...
-Sami Zayn d. Justin Gabriel(w/ Tyson Kidd) with a Flatliner into a Koji Clutch (12:30 aired).  Kidd attacked Zayn after the match...Gabriel looked conflicted but then joined Kidd in the beatdown(heel turn!) until Adrian Neville ran them off.

TNA Impact

-Commentators:  Mike Tenay & Taz.
-The American Wolves(Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) won a triple threat match with Mike Knux & The Freak(w/ Rebel, Crazzy Steve, & Stilt Clowns) and Jessie Godderz & D.J. Shiima Xion to retain the Tag Team Titles; Davey pinned Godderz after the Alarm Clock(Eddie body toss into Davey roundhouse kick).
-Bobby Roode d. Kenny King in a street fight after a Death Valley Driver onto a chair; Kurt Angle banned Montel Vontavious Porter from ringside.
-Brittany Garrett called Madison Rayne to the ring...it looked like the two were on the same page, but then Brittany said you should never meet your heroes since they'll only disappoint you.  With that, Brittany turned on Madison and left her laying after an inverted DDT on the arena floor.
-Ethan Carter III d. Bully Ray in a table match.  Rockstar Spud interfered when Ray was on the verge of winning...RHINO made a surprise return and EC3 bailed out of the ring, but Rhino turned around and Gored Bully Ray.  After that, EC3 slammed Ray through a table with a modified spinebuster.
-Gail Kim d. Angelina Love(w/ Velvet Sky) to win the Women's Title.  Kurt Angle pulled referee Brian Stifler from the match due to his bias in favor of The Beautiful People in previous matches(most notably at Slammiversary when he clearly saw Velvet's interference and did nothing about it).  Referee Brian Hebner ejected Velvet from ringside midway through the match; Gail went on to block the Botox Injection(pump kick) and won with Eat-The-Feet to become a four-time titleholder.
-Bobby Lashley(w/ M.V.P.) d. "Showtime" Eric Young(w/ Bobby Roode) via spear to retain the Heavyweight Title; the referee ejected M.V.P. and Roode from ringside early in the bout.
