Kid Kash & Gunner vs. “Mexican Warrior” Chavo Guerrero Jr. & “Super Mex” Hernandez
Hernandez is sporting some new gear adorned in the “Super Mex” logo. Kash & Gunner jump Chavo & MEx at the bell and get things kicked off. Gunner is sporting a bandage over his right eye from an injury he suffered at a live show. Chavo catches Gunner with a dropkick and then hits Kash with the Three Amigos! Chavo springs to the top but Gunner knocks him off and the heels go to work on Chavo. They whip Chavo into the ropes and connect with a Double Shoulder Block for an early nearfall. Kash tags back in and chokes Chavito on the middle rope and then nails him with repeated right hands. Gunner back in and he catapults Chavo into the ropes as Chavo was lying underneath them for another nearfall. Kash comes back in and the heels hit a Slingshot Double Suplex on Chavo and Kash goes to work on the crowd taunting them. Kash gets a couple of nearfalls on the 3rd generation superstar and then whips him into the ropes but eats a Spinning Headscissors Takeover from Chavo! Gunner clotheslines Chavo from the apron and then Kash pretty much crotches Chavo on the bottom rope before tagging Gunner back in. The heels whip Chavo into the ropes and Gunner catches him with a clothesline. Gunner gets a nearfall and then puts Chavo in a headlock. Gunner tosses Chavo into the ropes and connects with a big backdrop for another nearfall. Kash tags back in and hits a series of strikes and then gets the referee to turn his head and look at Mex so Kash can kick Chavo in the balls. Kash hits a Snapmare Takeover and then locks in an Armbar. Gunner back in (no tag as the referee was dealing with Mex trying to save his partner) and the heels double team Chavo in their corner. Gunner stands on Chavo’s head and tags Kash back in. Kash taunts Chavo and then pokes him in the eyes as Chavo tried to fight out of the corner. Kash hits Chavo with kicks and chops and then puts him in a Camel Clutch. Chavo is able to stand up on his feet getting Kash on his shoulders and drops him with an Electric Chair Drop!

“The Pope” D’Angelo Dinero vs. “Whole F’N Show” Rob Van Dam vs. Magnus vs. Mr. Anderson
The Pope’s music plays but he doesn’t appear and finally we get a shot of A’s & 8’s beating Pope down backstage! The slam something metal into Pope’s hand and he screams in pain. This match is worth 20 points but it seems like Pope has been taken out of the equation by the A’s & 8’s. Anderson says he doesn’t “give a damn” about A’s & 8’s attacking Pope because that’s “one less bitch” he has to worry about. Magnus tosses RVD out to the floor and then he and Anderson square off in the ring. Anderson gets an early nearfall on Magnus after a Hip Toss and then hits the ropes but eats a Lariat from Magnus for a nearfall of his own until RVD breaks it up. RVD whips Magnus and Anderson into opposite corners and hits a Spinning Heel Kick on Anderson and then a Rolling Monkey Flip on Magnus!

Devon (c) vs. Kazarian
Champion vs. Champion here as Kazarian is ½ of the Tag Team Champions. Kaz & Daniels successfully defended those belts against Devon & Garett this past Thursday. I believe this is Kaz’s first shot at the TV Title ever. Kaz tries to stall Devon but Devon slings him into the ring and nails him with a Corkscrew Elbow and then takes it to Kaz in the corner with right hands. Devon then hits a big Hip Toss and then whips him into the ropes and connects with a Flapjack. Devon whips Kaz hard into the corner and the momentum flips Kaz over the top and to the floor! Devon follows Kaz out and then he grabs a fans water bottle and nails Kaz with it! He does it a second time as a fan hands him another water bottle. Devon rolls back into the ring to break up the 10 count and then tries to whip Kaz into the ring steps but Kaz is able to leap onto it and almost slips (because of the water I would imagine). Kaz catches himself and then dives off the steps onto Devon but Devon catches him in midair and slams him on the floor!

Backstage JB says they again don’t know where A’s & 8’s have gone and then Austin Aries enters the picture. He says there are more questions than answers in TNA right now but right now his focus is on Bobby Roode. A fan asks Aries why he gave up his rematch clause and he says that the better question is why Roode was so worried about a rematch clause. He says that Roode has called him a fluke, attacked his friends, spit in his face, and shown him no respect yet his biggest concern was about a rematch clause. Aries says a man that’s worried about a rematch clause is a man that needs one. Aries says he isn’t worried about his because he won’t need one. He says that Roode may be at the “A level” but he’s not at the “A-Double Level” and he’ll find that out tonight.
