He says he lost a lot of weight this year and lost 300lbs of deadweight when he kicked KC and Swann to the curb. AJ says he will debut a new song and raps. The song rips off Elijah's "walk this way" line.
Elijah interrupts and says he came out before AJ embarrassed himself. He asks, "Who wants to walk with Elijah?. He said he was in the back and heard his music. AJ says it's his song and his intellectual property. Eli says AJ photoshopped his head on his body. AJ disagrees and says he's been on a fitness journey. Eli says he's on a journey to humiliate himself in front of the entire world.
Eli asks if this is because he turned down the collab opportunity. He says the joke is over and he's not laughing. AJ then hands him papers and says it's a cease and desist letter. AJ says he talked to Eli's music manager and has acquired the name and music of Elijah, Elias and Ezekiel. He says he owns him.
Eli says the people want to walk. He says he a song called, "No Skill Unfulfilled". AJ says to let him get a feature and he hits Eli with the mic. AJ drops him and puts the letter on him.
Santino warms up with Indi Hartwell in the back. Daria Rae comes in. She wishes Santino luck and says she had nothing to do with Indi's contract.
Elayna Black talks. She says she outperformed everyone last week and says she's better than all of the women in the division. She says Indi is worried about Santino's family drama as she is desperate. She says Indi knows she can't survive on her talent by herself like Elayna come.

Thoughts: It was average but the end was kind of fun with the double cobra spot. I was surprised we didn't more interactions with Santino and Arianna here. I was expecting this to be a bit more over the top.

Wicked Garden Match - The Broken Hardy's (Broken Matt and Brother Nero) vs The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch)
No, this is sadly not taking place in a garden. That disappoints me. The ring ropes are wrapped in flowers and barbed wire. And there's wooden things with holes in them in the corners where flowers and barbed wire can go through the holes. There's also some neon lights for this. The Righteous have a bunch of people in white clothing come out with them.
They all fight to start. The Hardy's nearly go into the barbed wire. Matt then nearly goes into the wooden board. Dutch is rolled into the barbed wire wooden board. Vince lariats The Hardy's. Jeff is sent into the barbed wire ropes. Matt neckbreakers Vince.
Matt puts a garden tool in Dutch's head and rakes his head with it. Vince backdrop side slams Matt. Vince puts the wire in Matt's head. Jeff atomic drops Vince then legdrops him in the crotch. Matt elbows drops him for 2.
Jeff hits punches on Dutch then Dutch takes a double legdrop from The Hardy's. Matt is busted open. Vince takes a double back elbow and a double team.
Vince eye rakes Matt and Matt bangs Vince's head off the apron. Dutch is busted open. Jeff throws water at Dutch. We go to break and return.
Dutch drops Jeff onto the barbed wire board. Jeff is double teamed and Dutch pounds on Jeff's head. Dutch uppercuts Matt outside then chokes him inside. Dutch punches Jeff with the barbed wire. Matt low blows Dutch with the barbed wire. Jeff has barbed wire stuck in his hair. Vince is hit with a plot twist and Jeff is stuck in the wire.
The Hardy's wrap barbed wire around Vince's head. Dutch takes shots from both Hardy's and a double suplex. Barbed wire is put in Dutch's mouth and The Hardy's pull on it. Jeff jumps off Matt's back onto Vince in the corner. Jeff then does it to Dutch. Matt side effect's Dutch for 2.
Dutch drives Matt through a barbed wire board. Dutch also crotches Jeff up top while doing this. Vince hits Jeff in the gut with a kendo stick. Vince puts a glove on and puts a barbed flower in Jeff's mouth (the idea is supposed to be that this flower drugs you). Matt hits a double ddt on the heels. Jeff is out of it and he falls out of the ring. Jeff trips and falls outside due to the flower.
Dutch bodyblocks Matt. Vince hits mounted shots on Dutch. Jeff spits up foam out of his mouth. Jeff is stretchered to the back. Jeff then runs back in but is falling around and flailing. Matt takes a black hole slam. Vince hits an orange sunshine on Matt and pins him.
Thoughts: I was disappointed this didn't happen in a garden. I mean, The Hardy's have the whole woods to play with. Surely they could have set something up there. They did bleed a bit and the barbed wire helped things out as they could be a little slower and more dramatic. The flower spot with Jeff was dumb though. The Hardy's really looked limited and old here. It was alright. I was glad The Righteous won as they've won very little in TNA and needed something to get some credibility. I thought they could have spent a bit more on the budget on this and made it more special.
Overall thoughts: BDE/Eddie wasn't anything special. The AJ/Elijah stuff is something different and we'll see where it goes. Santino's match was average and they missed an opportunity to play more with the Santino vs Arianna concept. I didn't like Lee/Mr. Elegance. The wrestlers had a lot of things limiting them in the main and tried to have more of a bloody match based around barbed wire because of it. TNA didn't give them much of a budget to work with though and the gimmicks were a bit limited in it. I liked the main overall, but I was expecting more out of the gimmick. There were a lot of people not wrestling on this show. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and thought it was about average overall.
