TNA iMPACT!

August 2nd Week

Kevin Nash started TNA in the ring with no opening credits with all of the X-Division superstars surrounding the ring and announced that since there was no contender slot filled for the X-Division title match at Hard Justice, a mini 6-man tournament for #1 contendership would take place, starting right now.

1) Chris Sabin defeated "Showtime" Eric Young and Jerry Lynn

- A good X-Division match-up which saw some good high spots, and the ending saw Sabin slip out of the Death Valley Driver and hit Young with the Cradle Shock and pin for the victory

2) Robert Roode (w/ Miss Brooks) defeated "Wildcat" Chris Harris

- Half-decent match which saw Roode pin Harris after the Payoff (Fisherman's Suplex)

- Rhyno ran out and brawled with Roode after the match

Backstage, Samoa Joe cut a promo on the TNA World title and said it was about time that he steps up and claims the gold. Joe said Angle was a disgrace to the TNA World title, a washed-up 20th century one-hit wonder and Joe claimed that he was the future of professional wrestling and would become the World Champion at Hard Justice.

LAX, Machete, Juventud Guerrera (debut), Big Guido and Hector Guerrero came out to the ring, introduced as the Latino Nation and Hector cut a promo on America and said that Team 3D liked to call themselves an American tag team but tonight, the fans would see a preview of what would happen to America's Team 3D if they crossed paths with the Mexicans again.

3) Big Guido (w/ The Latino Nation) defeated Chase Stevens

- Big Guido squashed Chase Stevens quite easily with help from every member of the Latino Nation, and they all attacked Stevens after the match until Andy Douglas returned to TNA and made the save.

- More Latino wrestlers (TNA trainees) ran out from the back and managed to destroy Andy Douglas.

Backstage, Raven cut a promo on Sting and said that Sting may have been able to injure Christopher Daniels but Raven doesn't go down so easily. Raven then compared Scorpions to many weapons that Raven has used in his matches in the past and said almost anything can crush a Scorpion but nothing can kill a Mockingbird. Quote the Raven, Nevermore!

4) TNA World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle defeated TNA X-Division Champion "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles in a "Champion vs Champion" Match

- Angle and Styles did some good chain and mat wrestling in the match which saw Styles play Face.
