EY charges at him and is thesz pressed. EC bangs EY's head off the buckles. EC corner lariats EY then flying back elbows him. EY is back body dropped on the floor. EC pulls a table out.

EC hits the one percenter/headlock driver with the chair around EY's throat. They go to the apron. EY low blows him there multiple times. EY piledrivers him off the apron through a table. 

EY piledrivers him on a chain and pints him.

Thoughts: It was an okay hardcore bout here. They did what they could and without blood or a ton of crazy weapons to work with. I was surprised to see EC get piledriven through a table on the floor. They did fine with this and showed some hate and aggression. 

Arianna Grace and Stacks are interviewed by Gia Miller. Grace says she's facing Lei Ying Lee in a rematch that she shouldn't be having. She says she beat her already. She says the match is happening because Santino thinks Grace should be humbled. Stacks calls this mind games and says Grace has proven she can beat her. Grace asks if Stacks has a plan and he says he always has plans. Stacks tells her she will get this done tonight. Gia wants to vomit as they touch each other and flirt. 

The System do a promo. Myers says they are carrying the workload. He says Nemeth and KC are in for a battle. Bear says he can't wait to rip their faces off. Ced says they have a problem with Moose that will be taken care of. Eddie says tonight will be what Rebellion should have been - a night of The System. Eddie says they will all find out that you can't beat The System.

Elayna Black comes out to talk. She says she's the only one who matters in this division. She says she's coming for the title and says it will be hers. She says she makes more money and gets more attention than any other woman here. She says she's not just a Knockout. She says she's a business.

George Iceman/The Personal Concierge comes out. George tells her to watch her mouth. George says Ash By Elegance is the most beautiful woman in the business. Ash comes out. Ash says Black looks like a gothic prostitute. Ash says they don't just make money, they swim in it.

Ash says she's an empire if Black is a business. Ash gets in the ring. She says she's a millionaire with a yacht and mansion. 

Indi Hartwell comes out. She says they are arguing about who makes more money. She says there's a Knockouts Title match in the main tonight and they are comparing paychecks instead. Ash says she sounds so poor. Ash says the Knockouts Title will only add to her empire. Indi says neither can focus long enough to win an argument yet alone a title. Black says she's gonna go and will them argue about that.

Ash calls herself the real Knockout. Indi says nothing about her is real and says all of her is fake. Ash goes to hit her and Indi forearms her down and out of the ring.

Thoughts: It was a dumb segment. I don't think Indi pointing out that everything on Ash is fake is a good thing. That's one of those lines that can work too well and bury the person who gets hit with it.

Daria Rae is on the phone. She says she will have to make all the decisions tonight as Santino won't be here.

Thoughts: It was a decent tag match. Nic and KC were fun as the quick moving faces and the heels did their part as they cheated and roughed them up some.

Eddie Edwards gets on the mic and says since they are doing so well, they can beat up Moose and Leon right now.

The Hardy's do a video on The Righteous. Matt is talking in Broken Matt mode. He says The Righteous don't understand that they have opened up Pandora's Box. He says they wanted The Broken Hardy's and they are here. Matt says this will evolve into something different. Matt says normal men don't know how to break through and become. Matt says they have been broken and it's a gateway for what they can become. Jeff sings and says Brother Nero is here to instill fear. We then see his eyes change as Matt yells, "DELETE".

Mike Santana comes out. He says he would bring TNA back and says him and Swann did it in their match. Mike says he proved what it means to be TNA champ. Mike says he wants to choose his next opponent.

Daria says she didn't like his performance vs Rich Swann either. Mike goes to talk and she tells him to shut up. Daria says she will choose his next opponent. She says there will be a battle royal and the winner will be the #1 contender for the title. 

Mike says he doesn't make the decisions, but the fans do. Mike says it's fine if Daria makes the call as the outcome will be the same. Mike's music hits then Daria interrupts and says to play her music.

Thoughts: It was the usual Daria Rae stuff where she gets to humiliate the face and the face can't do anything but sit down and be a good boy.

AJ Francis does a promo. He says TNA forced him to put KC Navarro as his partner a year ago. He says he's been a pink haired freak that was a thorn in his side since. He says KC stole his moment at Rebellion and stole a win from him. He says he will steal something from him - his health. He says they will have a Sactown Street Fight next week. He says he will show why he's the best big man in the business. AJ says the business is money, money, money.

KC Navarro does a promo. He says AJ Francis wants to talk smack. KC says he was sitting in his room watching him for 8 months, talking about money and titles he can't win. He says First Class became something where he entered the picture and says AJ took advantage of it. KC says AJ kicked him out. KC says he worked hard for 8 months and says his uncle is sick. He says he told his uncle he would be back before 12 months and got cleared. He says Nic Nemeth is his hero. He says AJ won't be saying he doesn't belong here in the Sactown street fight. 

TNA Knockouts World Title Match - Arianna Grace (c) vs. Lei Ying Lee

Stacks is with AG. AG side headlocks her. AG hits a big forearm to escape a wristlock. Lee forearms AG then sunset flips her for 2. Lee sweeps her then flying knees her. Lee dropkicks her. Lee hits mounted corner elbows. Lee exploders her and AG rolls out. Lee dropkicks both outside.

We go to break and return. Lee jawbreakers her. AG slams her for 2. AG slaps her and bullies her while she's down. We see Xia Brookside watching on TV in the back. Lee grabs AG's leg and Stacks helps AG ropebreak.

Lee backslides AG for 2. Lee hits shots on AG then spin kicks her in the gut. Lee pump kicks her then superkicks her. Lee hits a spear for 2. AG double throat thrusts her and flying back elbows her for 2. AG top roep crossbodies Lee but Lee rolls through. Lee fallaway slams her for 2.

AG slaps Lee. They trade shots. AG knees her in the gut. Lee spin kicks her in the gut. Lee hits her warrior's way and puts AG's foot on the ropes on the pin. Stacks is then ejected. Lee dropkicks Stacks off the apron. AG rolls up Lee for 2. AG codebreakers Lee then twisting fisherman's neckbreakers her. 

Lee superkicks her in the gut. Lee top rope twisting blockbusters her and wins.

Thoughts: Lee winning was a bit of a surprise to me, but I guess it now sets up a Xia vs Lee title match. That would have been doable though without Grace winning the title. It went better than expected but it was still an average to acceptable match at best. I have no idea why Xia didn't get involved here after she cost Lee the title the first time. 

Daria Rae puts on the TNA hat and gives Lee the title after.

We cut to the back. Moose is down with a chair on his head and a rail on top of him. Help is called and I think Lord Crewe is one of the people calling for help. 

Overall thoughts: Young/EC3 was an okay hardcore match. The segment with Ash By Elegance and Indi was bad. I liked the Tag Title match and the tag match that followed. Daria Rae humiliated Mike Santana which I didn't like. The main was average to acceptable but did go better than expected. They had some good wrestling here tonight and it was one of the better episode wrestling wise then we have seen in a while. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 and without the Daria Rae and Ash stuff, it maybe could have gone higher.
