Welcome to this week's TNA Xplosion report.
LOCKDOWN 2015 - TNA World Tag Team Title Match: James Storm & Abyss vs Matt & Jeff Hardy - Six Sides of Steel.
Hardys get the early advantage, hitting a series of double teams on the champions. Manik comes in, but the Hardys beat him up and handcuff him to the cage to neutralize him. Storm uses the distraction to blindside the Hardys, and he stops to try and release Manik (unsuccessfully), then turns his attention back to Matt Hardy. Storm and Abyss ram both Hardys into the cage, and the Revolution is in control as we go to commercial.
We're back as the Hardys mount a comeback. Abyss shuts that down pretty quickly, then Storm springboards off his back with a flying elbowdrop, followed by a splash from Abyss for 2. Jeff takes the champs out with a Whisper In The Wind, followed by a series of Twists of Fate leading to a double cover on the champs that only gets 2. Storm rolls away from a moonsault by Matt and tries to climb out, but Matt stops that and climbs up to trade blows with Storm on the top rope. Matt hits a top rope Twist of Fate on Storm, but then Khoya literally reaches through the camera hole in the cage and DRAGS MATT OUT THROUGH THE CAMERA HOLE. Reminds me of that spot in Manhunter: San Francisco at the private club. Jeff is left alone in the ring, and Storm drills him with the Last Call for the win.
Winners: James Storm & Abyss
Storm goes right out to the floor and sets a table up with Khoya, and Matt tries to fight his way free, but Khoya pops Hardy up like he was nothing and plants him through the table. Storm tosses another table in the cage and Abyss sets it up, then he literally tears Manik's handcuffs in half to release him. Storm puts Jeff on the table and Manik tries to put him through it, but Hardy moves out of the way and Manik goes through the table. Jeff goes nuts cleaning house on Storm and Abyss, then climbs the cage and tries to escape over the top. Sanada moves the door and Hardy crotches himself on it, then Storm climbs the cage and nails Jeff in the head with his cow bell, knocking a limp Hardy off the door where he bounces off the stairs and lands on the floor. Now THAT was a sick bump.
TNA Impact 7/9/26 - TNA Knockouts Champion Xia Brookside vs. Lei Ying Lee
The bell rang, but Xia Brookside immediately rolled to the floor, forcing Lei Ying Lee to give chase. Lee caught Brookside with a shotgun dropkick before grabbing her trademark fan. She looked for a corkscrew kick, but Brookside slammed Lee's hand into the ring steps to stop the attack. Back inside the ring, Lee stayed in control, stomping Brookside down before landing a big lariat. She dragged Brookside out of the corner and targeted her neck and spine with a series of strikes and a running knee.
Brookside tried to create an opening with a cheap shot, but Lee shrugged it off and continued the assault. When Brookside attempted her own kick, Lee blocked it and answered with kicks of her own. Brookside retreated to the floor, but Lee wiped her out with a diving elbow to the outside before stomping on her leg. Once back in the ring, Lee scored a two count. Brookside then snatched Lee's fan and turned it into a weapon, repeatedly striking Lee's injured leg before mocking her by fanning herself. She continued targeting the leg, then abandoned the fan in favor of a suplex. Brookside escalated the violence by retrieving a leather belt from underneath the ring. After cracking it for dramatic effect, she repeatedly whipped Lee before wrapping the belt around her leg and wrenching back on it. Lee briefly escaped with a rollup, but Brookside quickly regained control, even driving the buckle end of the belt into Lee's head.
Brookside missed a running double knee attack, allowing Lee to rally with a hook kick, a running boot, and a dropkick that sent the champion into the corner. Lee's injured leg initially prevented her from following up, but she fought through the pain to deliver the ten count punches. An Exploder Suplex sent Brookside tumbling to the floor. Lee then emptied the ringside area, tossing chairs and a kendo stick into the ring before delighting the crowd by pulling out a table. As she tried to set it up, Brookside recovered. Lee smashed her face into the ring steps and then into the table before attempting a powerbomb on the apron, but Brookside escaped back into the ring. She blasted Lee with repeated kendo stick shots before using the weapon to choke her across the ropes from the top turnbuckle. She even paused to admire her handiwork before placing the Knockouts Championship on the apron. Brookside then taunted the fans by tipping over the table instead, but that taunting allowed Lee to level her with a shoulder tackle.
Lee unloaded with repeated chair shots before placing the championship belt in the center of the ring. Brookside countered with a jawbreaker, only for Lee to answer with a running knee. Lee stacked several chairs in the ring and slammed Brookside onto the pile before climbing to the top rope. Her senton splash missed, however, as Brookside rolled away, leaving Lee to crash onto the chairs. Brookside nailed her with the title belt. They battled until the champ nailed Darkside and scored the pin.
Your winner and still Champion, Xia Brookside!
The number one Don West trending topic was Lei Ying Lee's loss to Xia Brookside.
Lockdown 2015 - Lethal Lockdown: MVP, Samoa Joe, Low Ki & Kenny King vs Kurt Angle, Gunner, Austin Aries & ??????
Kenny King and Gunner start us off King is working over Gunner's arm. He gets too cocky though, and gets backdropped into the cage. Gunner follows that up by ramming King into the cage again, then uses a trash can lid to part King's hair. Gunner gets a nightstick and chokes King with it, but the clock counts down and Low Ki comes in to save King, and the two of them double team Gunner and put the boots to that bad shoulder. Austin Aries is out next in his street clothes, and he cleans house on both members of the BDC. Aries gets ahold of the nightstick and works King over with it while Gunner goes to town on Low Ki with a tennis racket. Samoa Joe comes in next and bowls right over Aries with a running elbow, then turns Gunner inside out with a clothesline. Leaping enziguiri to Aries by Joe, who then sends Aries crashing into the cage. Joe with a trash can lid conchairto to Aries, then pounds on him with a hockey stick as Kurt Angle makes his entrance and suplexes Joe, then takes King down and pounds him with right hands. Low Ki KILLS Aries with a double stomp in the corner as Joe chokes Gunner with the hockey stick. MVP is in last for his team as we go to commercial.
We're back, and the Beat Down Clan is doing what their name says they do. MVP Yakuza kicks a trash can into Gunner's face, but then Angle gets ahold of a trash can and runs amok with it. Joe KILLS Gunner with a Singapore cane shot to the face, then he uses it to work Angle's knee over as well. The BDC is in firm control, but then Bobby Lashley's music hits and he comes into the ring, takes his jacket off, and extends his hand to MVP. MVP shakes Lashley's hand, but Lashley uses it to short clothesline him. Lashley clotheslines Joe, powerslams King, and press slams Low Ki into the cage. King stops Lashley from spearing MVP, and MVP uses the opening to nail Lashley and choke him down in the corner. The BDC is still in charge, but Angle counters a Muscle Buster to an anklelock as Gunner gets King in the gun rack, Aries gets Low Ki in the Last Chancery, and Lashley spears MVP and pins him to win Lethal Lockdown.
Winners: Team Angle
