Impact + Smackdown

TNA Impact

-Commentators:  Josh Mathews & "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero.
-After Bound For Glory, Ethan Carter III filed a legal injunction against Heavyweight Champion Matt Hardy to prevent him from appearing at TNA events; he claimed it was an unfair situation as he wasn't pinned or submitted to lose the title, plus special guest referee Jeff Hardy was directly involved in the outcome and he blamed the Hardys as well as TNA President Dixie Carter.  Faced with the prospect of the champion being unable to appear on Impact, Hardy forfeited the title; it will be at stake in a long-running tournament called the World Title Series to be held in the upcoming weeks.
-The matches in the upcoming weeks will feature a point system:  A wrestler earns three points with a win and one point with a draw finish with a fifteen-minute time limit.  The wrestlers are in four-person groups and the top two of each group advance to the main tournament.
