5/17 Impact Spoilers

[LtD73]

Thanks to TNAasylum.com for the following Impact Wrestling spoilers, airing this Thursday night on Spike:

-Bobby Roode comes out and brags about his victory over Rob Van Dam at Sacrifice. Because he is going to be the longest World Champion in TNA history he wants a celebration party. He calls out Hogan to confirm. Hogan declines it then later announces that at next week’s Open Fight Night, the World Title will be defended. There will be a series of matches (Bully Ray vs RVD, Anderson vs Jeff Hardy, Samoa Joe vs Kurt Angle and a Battle Royal) with the winners facing off next week in a Fatal 4-Way. The winner of that match will face Roode later in the night for the World Heavyweight Title.

-In the first match, Bully Ray defeated Rob Van Dam to advance to next week’s 4-Way.

-AJ Styles won a 10-Man Battle Royal (also included Austin Aries, Robbie E and Robbie T, Devon, Garett Bischoff, Crimson, Magnus, Eric Young and Gunner). After the match, Hogan congratulated AJ.

AJ stood in the ring to explain the Dixie Carter scandal. Before he could thoroughly explain it, Daniels and Kazarian came out interrupting him. Daniels and Kazarian then show a video of AJ on their IPAD of of Dixie Carter and AJ Styles at a hotel. They end up going into a hotel room together. Daniels and Kazarian trash talk AJ. AJ goes after the tag champions but eventually leaves the ring.

-Gail Kim defeated Velvet Sky and Brooke Tessmacher when she stole a pin from Velvet Sky to retain the Knockouts Title.

-Jeff Hardy defeated Mr. Anderson to advance to next week’s 4-Way.

-Kurt Angle defeated Samoa Joe to advance to the 4-Way by reversing the Musclebuster into a rollup. Bobby Roode (who was on commentary) had a few words with Angle after the match. Eventually Hardy came to ringside followed by Bully Ray and AJ Styles on the stage. Roode had a staredown with his four potential challengers.

TNA has a champion and 4 challengers....KOTM is a 5 man match but theyre gonna it up by making it a one on one match

[Brankind]

or the fatal four way goes to hell and Hulk makes it a KOTM match

[King Silva]

^ That should happen although who knows..

I am so happy my girl Gail defended her title.

She should be on her way to being the holder of the record for most days as KO's champion in a single reign so that is awesome. I think she will drop it at Slammiversary though.

[Raider]

I am still hoping for KOTM at Slammiversary, it looks like we'll have AJ v. Bully v. Hardy v. Angle next week and the winner will go on to face Roode for the title in the main event on Open Fight Night.

The show looks a little light, only five matches.. maybe they are longer than normal or there must be a lot of backstage segments that will be added in. Anyway, looks like a pretty good show. Looking forward to Angle/ Joe.
