– Thanks to Dale Dietrich for the following TNA Impact Wrestling spoilers from tonight’s tapings in Bethlehem, PA. These should air on Tuesday, January 26th:
* Jeremy Borash is warming up the crowd and reveals the big title change that was taped on Friday night after One Night Only. There are more seats in the arena than there were on Wednesday and Thursday nights
* Tigre Uno retains the X Division Title over Mandrews and DJ Zema Ion in a Triple Threat. After the match, Shane Helms comes down during Tigre’s celebration and challenges him to a title match “next week”
* Jeff Hardy comes out and calls his brother to the ring. New World Heavyweight Champion Matt Hardy comes out with his wife Reby Sky and Tyrus. Matt also has new theme music. He cuts a heel promo and Jeff is confused by his actions. Matt says they’re going their separate ways but Jeff wants a title shot. Matt mumbled something and left, it wasn’t clear if the match is happening or not. Our correspondent wrote, “I don’t think anyone understood him since there was no crowd reaction.”
* Feast or Famine Match is next with title shots for the World Title, KOTM Title and Tag Team Titles, plus a pink slip, in 4 briefcases in each corner. Participants are Beer Money, Robbie E, Aiden O’Shea, Grado, Drew Galloway, Eric Young, Bram, Eli Drake, Jessie Godderz, Chris Melendez and Rockstar Spud. Grado grabs the first briefcase and runs away with it. Galloway takes the second briefcase, Drake gets the third. Storm and Roode contemplate on who gets the final case. Storm goes for it and grabs it while Roode watches out for him
* Christy Hemme interviews Bobby Lashley in the arena. Lashley says he respects Kurt Angle a lot but he has to beat him in their upcoming match. A random woman came over to Lashley and flirted with him. Our correspondent wasn’t sure if it was for TV and said it made no sense
* TNA Tag Team Champions The Wolves call out Crazzy Steve. Apparently he stole their belts at some point when he and another person jumped The Wolves. A woman wearing paint comes out and does a riddle for The Wolves… Steve then comes out but doesn’t have the belts. It turns out Abyss was the one who helped Steve jump The Wolves as he comes out to the stage. The Wolves rush them and a brawl breaks out on the stage
* The Wolves defeated Crazzy Steve and Abyss by DQ. Ten minutes in, the girl in paint comes back out with the titles. She distracts The Wolves, leading to Abyss and Steve getting disqualified. They beat The Wolves down and celebrate with the belts before leaving with them
* Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy for the World Heavyweight Title didn’t happen. Jeff came out first, followed by Matt with Tyrus and Reby. Eric Young comes out after introductions and complains that he’s the real #1 contender. Matt attacks Jeff, then EY and Bram join in on the beatdown. Beer Money comes down to attack EY and Bram. Abyss and Crazzy Steve are out next to join the brawl. Beer Money fights Abyss and Steve to the back. Kurt Angle comes out to confront Matt but Tyrus nails him. Matt levels Angle with the title. Matt and Tyrus leave the ring and watch from the ramp as Jeff fights Bram and EY. EY piledrives Jeff from the apron through a table in a nice spot. EY and Bram leave as officials come out to help Jeff. A doctor comes out and fans do the “New Day rocks” chants. EMT’s bring a backboard out for Jeff after he’s been down for at least 15 minutes. They take Jeff out through the crowd, up a ramp and out a side door to a waiting ambulance
* Awesome Kong defeated Velvet Sky in under 5 minutes with the Implant Buster. Madison Rayne came down to fight Kong but The Dollhouse ran down and beat her down. Kong splashed Velvet from the second rope to “holy shit” chants. The Dollhouse celebrates and leaves with Kong
