Hot after winning the TNA World Tag Team Championship for a second time, Grado and Mahabali Shera (who is also ranked as the #1 contender for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship) have no problem accepting The Hardy's request for a championship rematch tonight.

Bobby Lashley talks about how he was eliminated in the first round of the Bound For Glory Playoff because his match against Kenneth Cameron ended in a double count out. Lashley congratulates Drew McIntyre on his Bound For Glory Playoff victory but he can't help but admit that the victory isn't as great as it should be for Drew because he did not beat Lashley. No one beat Lashley and nobody will. Lashley challenges McIntyre to a match tonight and paints it as a way for Drew to enhance his big victory last week. McIntyre accepts the challenge and the match kicks off Impact.

Match #1

Normal Match

Drew McIntyre vs Bobby Lashley

Winner by pinfall: Bobby Lashley (The Dominator)(***** Greatest of All Time)

Last week on TNA Impact Wrestling, Bram defeated Ethan Carter III to become the #1 contender for the TNA World Television Championship and is set to challenge the TNA World Television Champion Eli Drake next week on TNA Impact Wrestling: Turning Point.

EC3 has refused to exclude himself from these proceedings. Not only does he want to get his hands on Eli Drake but he's looking to win TNA World Television gold. EC3 has challenged Eli Drake to a non-title match tonight and before Eli refuses, EC3 states that if he can't beat Eli tonight then he will never challenge Eli again as long as he remains the champion.

Match #2

Non-Title

Normal Match

Eli Drake (TNA World Television Champion) vs Ethan Carter III

Winner by pinfall: Ethan Carter III (One Percenter)(*** ½ Great)

Kenneth Cameron is interviewed and says gives credit to Bobby Lashley for politicking his way into the Bound For Glory main event. He says that he was in that same match against Lashley and Kenneth doesn't seem to recall anyone pinning his shoulders to the mat as well. He is already in contention for the TNA World Television Championship so TNA management isn't likely to promote him in two championship matches so he will opt for a different route to the main event of Bound For Glory.

Next week on TNA Impact Wrestling, Kenneth Cameron will challenge Eli Drake for the TNA World Television Championship. If Kenneth Cameron wins that championship then he will issue a challenge to the TNA World Heavyweight Champion Trevor Lee in a champion vs champion match. Kenneth suggests that the winner of that match should headline Bound For Glory.

Match #3

Tag Team Match

“Miracle” Mike Bennett & Moose (w/Maria Kanellis-Bennett) vs DJ Z & Braxton Sutter

Winners: “Miracle” Mike Bennett & Moose

Last week on TNA Impact Wrestling, the TNA World Heavyweight Champion Trevor Lee used his own title as a foreign object to attack Eddie Edwards before their non-title match could start, making his wicked intentions clear heading towards their title match. However, before that title match takes place, Lee will take on Edwards in a rematch as “The Technical Savage” looks to demonstrate how Eddie's win last week was a complete and meaningless fluke.

Match #4

Rivalry Match

Rematch

Normal Match

Eddie Edwards vs Trevor Lee

Winner by pinfall: Trevor Lee (Orange Crush)(*** ½ Great)

Post-Match: After taking in his win, Trevor Lee decides to stomp away at Edwards as the referee tries to rip Lee off of Eddie.
