Fulton takes a beating, but he is determined to get even for Callihan and wins with BTB.

Matt says it's clear that both they and The Kingdom cannot co-exist in TNA. At Victory Road, this must end; so they are proposing a little challenge. Jeff says the losers must leave TNA, and if Taven and Bennett thought their career was almost over last time they faced The Hardys, then they will need to prepare themselves, because this Sunday they will meet each other in a scaffold match.

Moose def. Rich Swann by pinfall
A brutal spear gets Moose the win

"Reginald!" Danhausen walks up to RJ City backstage, carrying Angels' X Division belt. However, before Danhausen can say anything more, Angels jumps him, smashing his head into a television screen. Angels says he's feeling very nice right now, despite how very evil Danhausen has been and at Victory Road, he will allow Danhausen one chance to win the title back, but only so he can beat the life out of him.

Serena Deeb def. Sonny Kiss by pinfall
Deeb wins with a string of hard chops.

Instead of Deeb's music playing, Violent By Design come to the ring.

Matt Hardy is the first to be eliminated, when Mike Bennett hurls him down to the ring. Jeff Hardy then evens the score, sending Bennett over the edge. The crowd goes wild as Jeff and Taven use the scaffolding like monkey bars and fight it out while dangling precariously. Taven manages to swing himself into a brutal superkick to Jeff's face, which causes him to fall to the ring and give The Kingdom the win.

[on_the_edge]

I was sorry to see Alan Angels take possession of the title again so fast. I was looking forward to seeing RJ City walking around with him as RJ sings "Me and My Shadow".

Glad to see you keep the "locked in dark" stipulation for the Monster's Ball match. That is something that TNA often forgets to mention during the matches. Then again, they have used too much IMO and watered it down a bit.

[Valenswift]

Well Ace Austin had a great run but couldn't quite make it to the gold!! And the Hardy's have to leave town, what next for them??

A nervous RJ City is backstage, where he says he has heard Violent By Design are in the building and he has been told to find out why. Eric Young comes out of a dressing room and demands to know why RJ is loitering in the corridor.
