Welcome to PWInsider.com's TNA Xplosion report.
Tom Hannifan wished everyone a happy holiday and they went right into the vault.
Bobby Lashley with Dan Lambert vs. Moose from Genesis 2018 PPV.
Lashley takes his time getting in the ring, then does and goes right back out to the floor. He has Dan Lambert and KM in his corner, by the way. Back in and he takes Moose down with a double leg, then unloads right hands into Moose's skull. Lashley unloads with right hands in the corner, then elbowstrikes. Moose fires back and has Lashley reeling with chops, but Lashley quickly recovers and rams shoulderblocks into Moose's midsection in the corner. Moose fires right back with more chops, then runs up the corner and wipes Lashley out with a crossbody. KM grabs Moose's ankle from the floor, allowing Lashley to take him out with a clothesline. Lashley goes out to the floor and gets in KM's face, telling him to stay out of his match as we go to commercial.
We're back as Lashley hits a hanging neckbreaker for 2. They go to the floor where Lashley rams Moose's back into the apron several times, then rolls him back into the ring and starts attacking the hand and arm. Lashley goes to the second rope, but Moose dropkicks him to the floor. Moose unloads on Lashley on the floor, then brings him back in and hits a charging splash in the corner, followed by a delayed dropkick. Lashley goes back to the second rope, but Moose grabs him and hits a spinning Sky High for 2. Lashley hits a FLYING HEADSCISSORS (WHAT?!?!) and then spears Moose, but Moose gets his foot on the bottom rope at 2. Lashley goes for a powerslam, but KM gets up on the apron and tells him to use a table. Moose slips out of his grip and hits a clothesline for 2, then the Gamechanger finishes it.
Winner: Moose
They ran down the Don West trending topics of the week. I do love that they pay tribute to Don every week. It was noted that they would be giving out the TNA Year-End Awards on the 12/25 edition of TNA Impact. The top trending topic was Bear Bronson winning the Battle Royal on Impact.
Gia Miller interviewed AJ Francis. They talked Christmas traditions. He noted that if you put your Christmas decorations up before Thanksgiving, you are judged and shouldn't be in a civilized society. I stand with AJ Francis here! He talked about how he decorates his entire house as he wasn't able to do that growing up. He talked about favorite Christmas movies. Francis and Miller both came off really well here.
They aired highlights of the TNA vs. NXT Steel Cage match.
TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions The IInspiration vs. Killer Kelly & Rosemary
The Champs worked over Rosemary early on. Kelly hit the ring but was drilled with a series of kicks as well. Rosemary took control with a Samoan Drop after Kelly interfered. Cassie tried to fight out to her corner but was cut off and worked over by Kelly with a drilling blow to the back to the neck. Lee kicked up at two. McKay finally got the tag and fought off Kelly. Rosemary was going to attack but Lee charged across the ring with a handstand kick. The Champs nailed the IIdolizer on Kelly and scored the pin.
Your winners, The IInspiration.
