Ultimate X match: Moose (c) def. El Hijo Del Vikingo, KC Navarro, Leon Slater, Matt Cardona and Sidney Akeem to retain the TNA X-Division Championship

Akeem hit a Moonsault to the ringside area to take out the field. Moose was too scared to climb so sent Alisha Edwards up to retrieve the title for him. Navarro connected with a tornado DDT onto Slater. Akeem came crashing down from the cables onto Moose. Vikingo hit Akeem with a brutal Destroyer onto the apron. AJ Francis came out to help Navarro by hitting Vikingo with a Down Payment. But then, Moose took Francis out with a Spear. Slater took a massive dive from the truss, taking everyone out with a Swanton 450. Slater unhooked the title but Moose caught him with a spear in mid-air. Moose had the title on the floor, declaring him still the champion.

Ace Austin and The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) def. The System (TNA X-Division Champion Moose, Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards)
Moose replaced JDC, who couldn’t attend due to travel issues, while the face team had the legend that is Sean Waltman in their corner. Alisha Edwards quickly showed why she was at ringside to back her boys. The System isolated Miguel and tried to weaken him. Miguel countered a Roster Cut but couldn’t capitalise with a tag. Once Miguel is finally able to make a tag, he does and in comes Wentz. He went straight on the attack to up the pace of the match. Austin connects on Moose with The Fold and Wentz hits a Spiral tap. Waltman takes Alisha out at ringside with the X-Factor. Moose went for the spear but Wentz countered into his own X-Factor. He then beat the champion with a UFO Cutter.

Steve Maclin (c) def. Eric Young to retain the TNA International Championship
The Northern Armory (Judas Icarus and Travis Williams) tried to attack Maclin before the bell but were unsuccessful. Maclin nearly had Young beat with Caught in the Crosshairs but interference from The Armory saved him, leading to them being ejected from ringside by the referee. Maclin sent them out to ringside with a clothesline for good measure. The distraction caused another Caught in the Crosshairs attempt to fail. However, Maclin would go on to successfully hit it but only get a near fall. Young bit Maclin then connected with a top-rope elbow drop. However, it was countering a Piledriver that gave Maclin the win.

Santana retaliated with a Death Valley Driver into two chairs but didn’t get the win. Ali then scored a near fall off a coast-to-coast. Santana attempted Spin the Block but The Hands prevented it. Ali hit a top-rope 450 on Santana through a table at ringside. Santana handcuffed both members of The Hands to the ring ropes. Santana was about to win until Tasha Steelz ran interference. Santana put her through a table to neutralise her. Santana then hit a suplex to Ali off the steps through a table but only scored a near fall.
