* Bobby Roode & Kazarian defeated James Storm and Gunner

* Manik defeated Sonjay Dutt

* Joseph Park defeated Daniels, Jay Bradley & Hernandez in a street fight

* Bully Ray comes out with Tito Ortiz, who's now a member of Aces & 8s. They brag about Bully Ray's victory from last week. Out comes Brooke Tessmacher and she makes out with Bully Ray. Bully says he has the 'hot Brooke' now.

* Gail Kim defeated ODB

* AJ Styles is revealed as the 5th man on Main Event Mafia's team. He comes out to his old theme.

* Devon, Wes Brisco, Garett Bischoff, Ken Anderson & Knux vs. The Main Event Mafia. Styles got the pin on Devon after connecting with a Styles Clash. Devon must leave TNA now. "Thank you Devon" chants break out after the match.
About to watch HardCORE Justice soon but these results seem rather swervy. Tessmacher just isn't a heel at all, but it's a bit of a boost for the Knockouts Division with her being back.

Also, I get that they needed a 5th member for the MEM but throwing away Styles loner gimmick he's had going on for a few months just seems totally random. I get that he had beef with the A&8's too, but something just doesn't sit right with me.

Bit surprised they would write Devon off but I guess he's taking up an Agents role full time.

This fuckin' company man, I was really enjoying loner dark all about AJ gimmick. UGH! This is why I can't fuck with this company full-time. Tessmacher shaking her ass in front of all the ace's members could be fun :lmao NAW!

Tessmachers back, my only reason to watch TNA.

Bubba Ray's using his creative imput to get some action lol. Can't say I blame him.

Can't believe Bellator and Spike are that dumb to not know that adding the MMA guys to a wrestling angle only dillutes both products and pisses off their respective audiences. MMA fans are going to shit on the PPV match between Page and Tito...."They're doing the fake shit, this fight is fake".Bellator better pay attention to old Pride and FEG stuff, because introducing "worked shoots" into a legit competition just kills your credibility, atleast TNA and Bellator don't have any Yakuza funneling money through them.

But they let Viacom/Spike run ruff shot over their product... Just as bad xD?

But to answer the question.....Yes, and no......Atleast Viacom/Spike is the reason TNA is still around, Yakuza were the reason Pride FC's tv contract was not renewed and without tv....your dead.

True, isn't the Yakuza one of the reason's Noah collapsed after Misawa's death?

Terrible waste of the AJ storyline to put him in MEM. Didn't need to ruin that storyline at all and it makes no sense for him to come back to the fold and rely on others when he is the lone wolf.

Still would have gone with the double pin in the ten man tag, as mentioned Devon will probably still work backstage for TNA.

Joseph Park winning another match isn't right but I will wait until I see the show because since it is a street fight he may see blood and turn into Abyss. Jay Bradley still without a win.

I like the swerve with Brooke, would rather her on tv than Hogan. She can wrestle and actually adds to the division.

Yes but a bit demeaning to have her making out with Ray give her a proper wrestling role. It is good for the KO Division that she is back.

I wasn't buying the loner gimmick he didn't seem to really be into it. But it's a stupid way to just end it. They should have had A&8 beat him up or do something to make him really want to beat into them. Should have just had Sabin be the new member.

Who is to say that she won't be wrestling? She can still be Bully Ray's love interest and wrestling on Impact each week. This gets her involved in the main storyline in the company so it is a good move for her.

Yes but it gives the impression from that start that she is not equal to the men that she can be used as a bit of stuff. The KO's division is one of more popular things TNA have and it would be a good selling point for the Aces and 8's to say we have our very own Knock out.
