Welcome to PWInsider.com's live, ongoing TNA Thursday Night Impact on AMC coverage from San Antonio, Texas!
We saw highlights of everything that took place leading up to tonight, including all the attacks.
On the call are Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt.
Leon Slater made his way to the ring. He said unfortunately, he had to share the ring with Ryan Nemeth but he beat the hell out of him. After the match, Nic Nemeth laid him out with the TNA title belt. It made him wonder why one of the best in the world has turned into such a coward. Nemeth sees him every week getting bigger, better and faster and he's realizing that Leon can beat Nemeth. He said he feels the energy and he doesn't want to wait for the PPV. He challenges Nemeth to come out right now.
Nemeth's music hit and out came Nemeth. He said his brother will qualify for the X-Division match at BFG tonight. He said the difference between Nic and Leon is being a World champion and being someone who doesn't realize what's good enough to make it. Nemeth insulted him, saying perhaps it's because Slater's father wasn't there for him. Ryan Nemeth snuck in behind him but Leon asked if he really thinks he's dumb enough not to know Ryan is behind him. He goes on the attack. Security and officials broke them apart as Santino Marella came out on stage.
Marella ruled that from now until the PPV, they are forbidden to lay one finger on each other. If they don't listen, there will be no second chances. Nic will be stripped of the title and Leon will lose his title shot. If they lay one finger on the other, the match is off.
Backstage, Matt Hardy said the mystery attackers got their hands on him. They attacked Jeff Hardy several weeks ago, but they didn't finish the job and now Jeff is back. He said he will never forget what they did to him, until he gets to do the same. Matt said no more games. In one hour, they are walking to the ring and they are demanding the attackers come to the ring and reveal themselves.
They plugged Tanea "Rebel" Brooks' battle with ALS and asked fans to support her.
Daria Rae was approached by Indi Hartwell and said she believes she's figured her out. Indi said she's just a bully and a bad person. Daria told her to walk away. Indi told her she was a joke. Daria slapped her. Indi asked Santino caught it on camera. He had and said the board of directors would love to see this. Wouldn't they already see it since it was airing on...NATIONAL TV?
Ryan Nemeth vs. KJ Orso to qualify for Bound for Glory X-Division Championship match
Orso is a regular for GCW and wrestled for AEW as the masked Fuego del Sol. They locked up with Orso out-witting Nemeth early on, targeting his arm. They battled to the outside, where Nemeth caught Orso with a neckbreaker on the floor. He brought Orso to the ring and worked him over. Orso fired back and continued to attack the left arm. He nailed a springboard moonsault and went for the KJ (Cobra) Clutch. He nailed Nemeth with a Michinoku Driver for a two count. He went for the Clutch but was driven backwards into the buckles. Nemeth went for a neckbreaker again but Nemeth took him down and hit a springboard into a twisting splash for a two count. He cinched on a crossface and nearly scored a submission. Nemeth escaped but backed off. The referee separated them, allowing Nemeth to attack him from behind, send Orso's shoulder into the ring post and scored the pin.
Your winner, Ryan Nemeth!
They aired a vignette teasing the return of Rosemary.
There will be a Hardy Party on 10/10 in Tampa, Florida.
TNA International Champion Mustafa Ali wanted t know who's idea it was to have him defend his title on his first night back. He said it was MIla Moore's idea and he knocked her, calling her a bimbo. John Skyler stood up for her for keeping Order 4 together and said she's a good person. Ali questioned if Skyler knew what she said about him last week. He walked off. Moore tried to talk to him but Skyler walked off as well.
They showed former TNA Tag Team Champion Shawn Hernandez in the crowd.
Dot Combat Match: The Righteous vs. BDE & Rich Swann
They brawled at the bell. Vincent and Dutch dispatched Swann to isolate and double-team BDE. Swann fought his way back into the fray, meeting Vincent atop the turnbuckle to deliver a bite before launching a dive onto Dutch. Capitalizing on the momentum, Swann and BDE combined forces for a massive double slam on Vincent. Seeking extra firepower, Swann and BDE raided under the ring for steel chairs. In a hilarious moment, BDE "plugged" a video game controller into Swann, mashing buttons to manipulate him into striking Dutch with a chair. That was silly, especially in a grudge match. Swann then wiped out Vincent with a dive to the outside while Dutch and BDE brawled up the entrance ramp. On the ramp, Dutch caught BDE with a brutal knee to the neck while Vincent and Swann traded strikes nearby.
The fight migrated back to ringside, where Vincent cracked Swann’s head against the ring post, followed by a stiff clothesline from Dutch. Dutch then whipped BDE into the steel steps and attempted a running knee strike, but BDE dodged—leaving Dutch to take the brunt of the collision. Inside the ring, Vincent bounced Swann’s head off a chair. Swann fired back, but Vincent halted his momentum with a drop-toe hold face-first onto the steel. Both men rose to their feet and exchanged chair shots before sinking into chairs positioned face-to-face, trading heavy blows from a sitting position. As they fought up to their feet, Swann suffered a misstep and crotched himself on the top of the chair. Undeterred, Vincent engaged him in a fierce battle as both attempted to execute a suplex.
With neither man able to hit the suplex, Vincent simply slammed Swann’s head into a chair for a close two-count. Dutch attempted to re-enter, but BDE grabbed his legs to anchor him outside. Swann connected with a lightning-fast windmill kick on Vincent, but a freed-up Dutch stormed in and flattened Swann with a devastating powerbomb. Dutch wedged a chair between the turnbuckles and charged at BDE and Swann in the corner. Both dodged, sending Dutch crashing face-first into his own steel trap. Swann and BDE leveled Dutch with a sync’d superkick, but it only served to infuriate him. The duo immediately followed up with a double cutter, rolling the big man to the outside. Channeling the Dudley Boyz, Swann and BDE screamed "GET THE TABLES!" and retrieved a table from under the ring, setting it up on the floor. They targeted a bleeding Dutch, but Vincent made a crucial save, flattening Swann with a DDT on the outside before tossing BDE into the ring. BDE countered with a rapid cutter on Vincent, then launched himself onto Dutch on the arena floor. Dutch caught BDE mid-flight, but BDE slipped free. Dutch immediately charged at BDE, who sidestepped, causing Dutch to plow directly through Swann, driving him straight through the table.
BDE scrambled back into the ring, nailing a cutter followed by a high-flying frog splash on Vincent. He covered for the pin, but a relentless Dutch broke up the count. Spotting his opening, Vincent seized BDE, and The Righteous executed their signature Orange Sunshine for the pin.
Your winners, BDE!
Vincent and Dutch laid out a helpless BDE with a brutal steel chair shot before exiting.
Kazarian told Avery Styles would have his first TNA match at Bound for Glory, the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Match. Styles thanked him. Kazarian said he earned it.
