TNA X Division Championship
Elimination X Match
“DJ Z” Zema Ion vs. Crazzy Steve vs. Mandrews vs. Tigre Uno (c)
Steve has some new pretty wicked music that is more dark than his weird, goofy persona. Tigre has his shoulder wrapped up with a brace on it. He seperated his shoulder back at BFG in the Ultimate X Match. He has still been wrestling in Mexico over the past couple of months so it seems that it hasn’t hampered him too much. The guys pair up as the bell rings and Tigre backdrops a charging Zema over the top to the floor. Mandrews then goes for a Back Suplex on Tigre but he lands on his feet and then he nails Steve with a Bridging German Suplex for an early nearfall. Mandrews tosses Tigre to the floor and then tosses Steve to the floor as well. Zema comes back in the ring and hits a big dropkick on Mandrews but walks into a Jawbreaker from Steve.

Mandrews comes flying in and attempts a dropkick to Zema but Zema sidesteps him and then goes for an Electric Chair Drop. Mandrews counters into a hurricanrana for a nearfall. Steve hits a big Back Suplex on Steve and then a Sliding Dropkick to the back of Mandrews. Tigre whips Steve into the ropes and then leapfrogs him and hits a Spinning Heel Kick. Mandrews climbs up top but eats a Flying Forearm from Tigre. Zema comes in and hits a Backflip Jawbreaker on Tigre and then climbs up with Mandrews for a Superplex.

Tigre kills Steve with a superkick but then a clothesline takes out Tigre. Mandrews hits a Flying Knee off the top onto Zema. Steve hits a Slingshot Plancha onto Tigre on the floor and then Mandrews sets up on the apron and as Zema charged at him Mandrews hits a Moonsault off the apron onto Steve to avoid Zema! Zema lands on the apron and Mandrews sweeps his legs. Mandrews hits a Flying Tornado DDT off of his skateboard, going down the ramp, onto Zema and a flying Enziguri to Steve! Tigre hits a Somersault Plancha off the top onto everyone! Tigre whips Steve into the ring post and then tosses him into the ring. Tigre hits a Guillotine Leg Drop off the top onto Steve for a nearfall and then goes for a Springboard Tornillo, but Steve ducks it and hits a huge Lariat! Steve hits a Flying Back Elbow to Mandrews and then a Rolling Cannonball on Tigre in the corner followed by one for Mandrews as well. Steve lifts Mandrews up to the top rope and climbs up with him but Tigre pulls him down only to get locked in a Crossface Chickenwing from Steve! Mandrews hits a Shooting Star Press onto both Steve and Tigre! Tigre rolls off of Steve and Mandrews pins Steve to a chorus of boos!
After the elimination Steve gets pissed and throws Tigre into the ring steps and locks him in the Crossface Chickenwing again! A bunch of referees pull Steve off while Mandrews and Zema continue to fight in the ring. Zema avoids a charging Mandrews in the corner and then goes for his Slinggshot Tornado DDT but Mandrews blocks it and then hits a weird Springboard Flatliner out of the corner. It looked like he slipped a bit but recovered and then he goes for the Shooting Star Press but Zema moves and Mandrews lands on his feet. Zema goes for the Slingshot Tornado DDT again but Mandrews counters into a rollup for the pin!
Tigre rolls back into the ring and Mandrews goes right for Tigre’s arm with a dropkick. Mandrews puts Tigre in an arm bar and then starts stomping on the arm. Mandrews hits a Hammerlock Back Suplex for a nearfall and then he puts Tigre in a Hammerlock and slams him into the turnbuckles. Tigre answers with an Enziguri and then he lights Mandrews up with chops. Mandrews comes right back with a kick to the arm and then a scoop slam. Mandrews climbs up top but Tigre cuts him off and climbs up with him. Tigre hits the Spanish Fly! 1…2…3!
