Pre Show: Leon Slater def. Damien Martinez, Rey Horus and Akira Tozawa
Slater qualifies for the Ultimate X match after winning an exciting four way with a Blue Thunder Bomb on Martinez.

World Title
Kurt Ange (c) def. Christian Cage by pinfall to retain the title
An incredible opener to the PPV. Christian keeps getting the upper hand and hits multiple Killswitches, but cannot keep Angle down for the pin. When the ref gets knocked down, Christian brings chairs into the ring to go for the Concerto, but this allows Angle to recover and win with an overhead belly to belly.

Last Woman Standing

The two go all out to batter each other, Stratus wins when he lands the Stratusfaction through a table and Adora cannot recover.

Rey Fenix def. Mike Bailey by pinfall
A great match to kick off the new month, Fenix picking up the win when he lands a Springboard 450.

MK Ultra vs Final Girls - Time limit draw
Neither team is able to maintain the upper hand here. Ford tries to win with the Northern Lights Suplex late on, but lands the move just as the time limit expires.

Danhausen is back with his chat show, Goodnighthausen with Danhausen. He introduces his guest for this evening, then double takes as Jordynne Grace walks in, and then he announces her as Scott Steiner. He says his first two episodes didn't go as well as he had planned, but he and Scott, gesturing at Jordynne, did the math backstage and he knows this one will be the best yet. So, he turns to Jordynne and calls her "Mr Pump". Grace asks him if she looks like a man, and Danhausen says very sincerely that "Mr Steiners" has never looked a more strong and powerful man in his life. Grace hurls herself over the desk at him and the show goes off the air.

August - Week 1 - Year 2
Commentary: Excalibur and Taz

Penta el Zero M def. Austin Aries by count out
A great opener, Aries is really trying to hurt Penta right up until Penta decides to do the Fear Factor on the apron. Aries refuses to return to the ring, furious at Penta.

Excalibur says the new Knockouts World Champion arrived in style earlier today, as footage of a limo plays. He says after the break, we'll see her coronation. After the ads, Savannah Evans is in the ring with a throne, she welcomes Tasha Steelz to the ring. Steelz receives a crown from Evans while sat on the throne. Steelz says she is the Queen of the Knockouts now and sits head and shoulders above everyone else. Candice LeRae comes to the ring, she says as a big believer in fairytales she's about to write her own in the big book of Knockouts World Champions, so Tasha better be ready for when she comes trip-trapping over the bridge and takes that title from her.

The James Gang join RJ City backstage. BG says they put it out there that they wanted one more run as champions, but since then they have been sidelined and are being left behind, but they're back to prove there is life in these old dogs. Kip calls out the Good Brothers and demands a title shot, and if they're not down with that the James Gang have two words for ya...

Daniel Garcia def. Kazarian by submission
Garcia locks on a rear naked choke with added elbow strikes, when Kaz manages to wriggle out, Danny goes straight into the sharpshoot to get the quick win.

Ivelisse & Trish Stratus def. Buddy System by pinfall
Solo Darling takes a beating that even a sugar rush cannot solve. Ivelisse wins with Desert Eagle.

Christian Cage is with RJ City. He says he is here to make a humble and heartfelt apology after his world title match with Kurt Angle. Cage says he knows Angle was upset when he turned up at Kurt's home, and he knows he said some quite serious things about Kurt, so right now he wants to apologise... to the TNA fans. He wants to apologise for not putting an end to that pious and sanctimonious ass, but he promises this is not over and Kurt is about to get some Hard Justice.

Joe lands the powerbomb and when Gargano kicks out, Joe switches into the Boston Crab to win.

Deonna Purrazzo def. Laynie Luck by submission
A fantastic contest to kick off the show. Luck shines early on, but cannot keep Deonna down. Purrazzo recovers and wins when she transitions from the Fujiwara Armbar into the Venus De Milo.

Eddie Edwards joins RJ City, he tells him when his best friend turned on him and was banished from TNA, it lit a fire inside him, a fire which will now scorch the landscape of TNA. At Destination X, he says Jimmy Rave thought he could be clever, but at Hard Justice there will be no running for the Digital Media Champion.

Kevin Blackwood def. Pepper Parks by submission
A squash match, with Blackwood landing a brainbuster and holding on to hit a second, before locking on a Texas Cloverleaf.

Jordynne Grace is with RJ City now. She says Danhausen must have a death wish because no one has ever spoken to her like he did last week. RJ says he has experience with Danhausen and he's pretty sure he's just an imbecile. Grace says whatever is wrong with him, she is going to hurt him in places he doesn't even know exist yet. Danhausen walks in to shot and greets "Scott Steiners" and "Reginald", before asking Grace if he'll need his passport to get to the places he has never heard of and whether people will give him monies in these places.

Trey Miguel def. Anthony Greene, Alan Angels and Matt Taven by pinfall
An exciting four way. Miguel swoops in after Angels has battered Greene, winning with a split-legged moonsault.

Impact
August - Week 2 - Year 2
Commentary: Excalibur and Taz

The show opens with Eric Young storming around backstage, kicking in doors and smashing up things as he tries to find Sami Callihan. He turns to the camera and declares Violent By Design dead to him. He says Rhino, Wes Brisco and Jon Davis failed him, so once again he will do this alone. He warns Sami that he has unleashed a wild man on TNA, and he won't stop until one of them is finished.

Non-title
Moose def. Kurt Angle by pinfall
A big win for Moose over the World Champion, although it should perhaps come with an asterisk. Christian joins commentary for the match to run down Angle, while he sends Blackwood ringside. Blackwood grabs Angle's legs while Moose feigns injury, and then Angle turns right into a massive spear.

Ivelisse and Trish Stratus vs Canadian Ninjas - No Contest
The two teams are putting on an incredible match, when the Beautiful People come to the ring and take them all out. Madison Rayne holds up Stratus, as Velvet Sky and Angelina Love spread lipstick all over her face. 

AJ Styles comes to the ring with the Good Brothers. He tells Christopher Daniels this delusion that they are, or ever have been, best friends is laughable. Styles says Daniels used him to become relevant in the early 2000s, and he's doing the same thing again now. AJ grants Daniels one thing, he says bringing Samoa Joe back served as a great distraction to allow him to win the X Division title, but Joe just proved he's an idiot for allowing himself to be used. Styles warns Daniels he best watch his back, because with his real best friends - Gallows and Anderson - he is coming to get his X Division Title back.

The camera cuts backstage, where Penta and Austin Aries are in a heated argument. Aries is questioning whether Penta is sane, because dropping the greatest man who ever lived on his head on the apron on Xplosion is the action of a man with a screw loose. Penta gets right into Aries' face and whispers "cero miedo".

Mike Bennett w/Maria def. Josh Alexander by pinfall
Bennett opens the match hot, clotheslining Alexander over the top rope as he is removing his jacket and before the bell rings. Josh never manages to recover, having banged his head severely on the way to the floor outside. He ends up losing to a third piledriver.

Deonna Purrazzo def. Holidead by pinfall
Holidead nearly stuns Purrazzo with a roll up early on, but Purrazzo recovers to get the pin after a brainbuster.

The Beautiful People are leaving the building as RJ City catches up to them. He says he has been told he must ask why they did what they did tonight. Madison tells him to avert his weird eyes from them. Velvet Sky says they made a statement tonight, because no one can beat the Beautiful People. Angelina Love says Trish Stratus came here expecting to coast by on her legendary status, but Beautiful People are TNA legends and she is about to see what happens when you cross the line.

X Division Title
Christopher Daniels (c) def. Chris Bey by pinfall to retain the title
On commentary, they reveal Bey was hand picked by Daniels to send a message to Styles, who almost lost the title to him during his reign. Daniels impresses and wins with the Angel's Wings.

August - Week 3 - Year 2
Commentary: Excalibur and Elijah Burke

Tasha Steelz comes to the ring to address Candice LeRae. She says Candice made a big mistake interrupting her coronation and picking a fight she can't win, and is stupid for believing in fairytales. Steelz says life isn't fair, and you have to take what you want rather than wait for some perfect story to be written for you. She says Candice had one thing right, her title reign, like her fairytales, will be a thing of fiction.

Masha Slamovich def. Leva Bates by pinfall
Bates really tries to go strike for strike with Masha, but the power difference does eventually show. Slamovich wins with the White Knight Driver.

Rhino def. Shawn Daivari by pinfall
Daivari tries in vain, with Rhino lining him up and landing the Gore to win.

A sitdown interview plays for Johnny Gargano with Excalibur. Johnny says he made a big statement when he returned, that he will win the world title by the end of the year, but so far he is no closer to this than he was when he came back. He says Samoa Joe made an example of him two weeks ago, and if he is to win the world title then he needs to beat someone like Joe. He challenges Joe to a rematch at Hard Justice.

The Rascalz def. James Gang by pinfall
Wentz and Xavier have youth on their side, with their speed and agility giving them the upper hand. Wentz scores the pin with a Baywood Bomb on BG James.

Myers and Moose are cooking right now! I particularly didn't expect Myers to be the winner. Thanks for taking a look!
