September 16, 2015 | Lethal Lockdown: Winner Take All
The Contract Signing
Jeremy Borash mentions that for over thirteen years Jeff Jarrett and Dixie Carter have been synonymous with TNA Wrestling. He welcomes the Jarretts and TNA President, Dixie Carter for the contract signing.
JB explains that the Lethal Lockdown main event between Team TNA and Team GFW will be for control of the company. Dixie tells Jeff, “I love [TNA] with every fiber of my being …after tonight, you will have no part in TNA moving forward.”
Jeff reminds Dixie that the first dollar invested in TNA Wrestling came from his back pocket and at the end of the night, “You’re going to be exactly where you should have always been – on the outside of the wrestling business looking in.”
The contracts are signed and placed inside the briefcase controlled by JB. Jarrett cheap shots Borash before leaving the ring.

Ladies and Gentlemen…E-C-3
EC3 introduces calls out Jeff Hardy. Hardy walks to the ring in a suit appliqued cut-out faces of EC3. Carter says, “You know they say you can’t shine up a turd, but I’ll tell you what – you slap an EC3 face on it, it looks pretty good.”
Carter instructs Jeff to tell the crowd to stop chanting “Hardy” before billing himself as the greatest World Champion to have ever lived. Carter says no one can stop him; Rockstar Spud disagrees. Spud says Carter berating his assistant seems familiar.
Spud tells EC3 he’s garbage compared to Hardy; the crowd chants, “You are garbage.”
Carter asks Spud if garbage would be the only undefeated TNA World Heavyweight Champion in history; if garbage would defeat Sting, Kurt Angle and Bully Ray; if garbage would be who the company is built around. Carter lays out Spud and instructs Jeff to leave the Impact Zone.
Spud attacks Carter. Tyrus comes to his aid and before long, Jeff Hardy finds himself instructed to take out Spud. He does so, reluctantly.
