June - Week 2 - Year 2
Commentary: Excalibur and Taz

Kurt Angle opens the show in the ring. He says he' not here for small talk, he's here to deal with Christian. He says Christian overstepped the line by turning up to his home; but you do not get a title shot that way, not in Angle's TNA. Christian comes to the ring, joined by Kevin Blackwood. He says Blackwood has seen a legend at work and is here to learn from him - oh, and he doesn't mean Kurt Angle, he adds. Christian says he really wasn't joking when he said he will get his title shot by any means necessary. Angle still refuses, but says he will fight them both and he'll do it two on one if he has to. Christian laughs and tells him he couldn't even beat a rookie last week. This brings Daniel Garcia to the ring, who offers to help Kurt and tag with him against Christian and Blackwood. Christian suddenly makes his excuses and says he can't do tonight, but he knows someone who will fight Garcia.

Deonna Purrazzo joins RJ City backstage. She says every single knockout averts their eyes when they see her in the locker room, they're all scared little girls in a woman's world. Leva Bates interrupts. She says she's never liked bullies and so she's here to stand up to Purrazzo. At Slammiversary, she will show Deonna she's not as great as she thinks.

Danhausen walks in as RJ is finishing with Bates and Purrazzo. He demands to know why "Reginald" is bothering these human womens, he's always bothering human womens! RJ flips out and tells Danhausen he's had enough of this tomfoolery. He says he is returning to the ring to beat Danhausen at Slammiversary.

Penta el Zero M def. Ricochet by pinfall
A high paced opener, which had the crowd wanting more. Penta gets the win with a Gorilla Press Slam.

RJ City is joined by someone we haven't seen for a while. It's Johnny Gargano. He says there is a lot of attention on the champion right now, but he knows he deserves another shot at the World Title, and if Kurt Angle really is the man he says he is, then he will give it to him.

Canadian Ninjas def. Laynie Luck and Taylor Wilde by pinfall
Matthews wins with the Vancouver Manoeuvre on Luck.

X Division Title
Chris Bey def. AJ Styles (c) by disqualification
Bey has Styles reeling, when the Good Brothers make themselves known and take out Bey outside the ring. The ref disqualifies Styles.
Christopher Daniels comes out and questions what AJ has become. He urges AJ to remember how tough it was to make his name, the lengths they went to to show they were TNA's top guys. However, Styles tells him he does remember, and that's why he is not giving it up now. He tells Daniels he isn't getting in the same ring as Styles, let along getting a title shot. AJ says he made the X Division, no one else, and now he will do what he wants with it.

An excellent match, Jordynne wins with the Grace Driver.

Crist Brothers def. The Addiction by pinfall
Perhaps still somewhat distracted from earlier in the show, Daniels is pinned when Jake Crist lands The Suicide. 

A promo plays for Eddie Edwards. He says the man who was supposed to be his best friend tried to end his career, and that kind of thing changes a man. He puts the TNA roster, and Davey Richards in particular, on notice, because he is coming for them, and he will fight anyone who stands in his way.

Kurt Angle and Daniel Garcia def. Christian Cage and Kevin Blackwood by pinfall
Thrilling main event. Blackwood goes after Garcia early on and gives him quite a beating. But once Angle is in, the tide turns. The World Champion wins with an Olympic Slam on Christian.
After the match, Garcia and Blackwood continue to brawl, Christian is laid out in the middle of the ring, and Eric Young and Violent By Design launch an attack on Angle, leaving him a bloody mess on the entrance ramp.

He really did have Styles reeling, it's the most impressive he has been for me and if Styles hadn't aligned with the Good Brothers, then Bey would likely now be X Division champion!

[Valenswift]

Some great stuff going on here as always, Eric Young has really done a number on Angle. And then we also have Gargano back in the mix!! RJ City back in the ring to face Danhausen!!! Can’t wait for that one 😁

June - Week 4 - Year 2
Commentary: Excalibur and Elijah Burke

Chris Bey comes to the ring to kick off the show. He says he should be standing here the X Division Champion, but the Good Brothers saved the supposedly great AJ Styles. Bey says it's a shame they hadn't been able to save him from losing the World Title, really. Styles shows up. He says Bey had been lucky to even be in the ring with him, but he can have one more shot at the X Division title at Slammiversary, and Styles says he will prove Bey isn't on his level.

Brian Myers def. Killer Kross by pinfall
Myers gets the win with a spear.

RJ City is backstage, but he isn't joined by anyone. Instead, he says he wants to use this time to talk about his match with Danhausen this Sunday. He says he had no intention to get in the ring here in TNA, but Danhausen is a menace and must be put in his place. Danhausen appears behind RJ, yelling "boo!" and making him jump, before telling him he is looking forward to collecting RJ's teeth this Sunday!

Jordynne Grace def. Sonny Kiss by pinfall
Kiss impresses against the former World Champion, but Grace wins with a Gannosuke Clutch.

Commentary: Excalibur and Taz

Kurt Angle kicks off the show in the ring, and he has a black eye from Eric Young's attack last week. He warns Young he has picked the wrong fight here. He tells Young when you behave without integrity, you get everything you deserve and Young is not ready for what he has unleashed. Christian interrupts. He says this is ridiculous, because he has done everything Young has done and yet he has got nowhere near a title shot. Angle ignores Christian, instead leaving the ring and walking away.

EYFBO def. Lucha Bros by pinfall
Draztik and Ortiz land a big debut win, landing Villano Killah on Fenix.

Tasha Steelz def. Madison Rayne by pinfall
A superb match, which Steelz wins with a pump kick.

Kevin Blackwood joins RJ City. He says Daniel Garcia turned his back on him without warning, without even a message to say he was sorry. Instead, he has chosen to suck up to the idiot fans and morons like Kurt Angle. He labels it the behaviour of a coward. Blackwood is interrupted by Garcia, who says he has always been trying to ride his coat tails and nothing has changed. He says he'll show him who's the better wrestler at Slammiversary, before he walks away he says to RJ that a PPV match is just another thing Blackwood wouldn't have got without him.

Shawn Daivari def. Ricochet by pinfall
Ricochet twice misses the 630 Senton and Daivari wins with a WMD.

A sitdown interview plays with Excalibur and Christopher Daniels. Daniels says AJ Styles is lost. The X Division was not built by one man, it was a team effort, a group of hungry wrestlers all wanting to out do each other and move to the next level. He says AJ has now come back to the division acting a bully, but Daniels says he wants his best friend to remember why he loved TNA once more. Excalibur asks what Daniels plans to do about it. Daniels says he has an ace up his sleeve, someone to remind AJ of the old days, whether he likes it or not.
