We start TNA Genesis with the National Anthem tonight…I am getting goosebumps and emotional…very nice touch TNA!

The venue is sold out and the lighting looks great!

We now go to the intro video package hyping up tonight’s show!

After the package, we have an outside shot of the venue, as we now go inside to a hot crowd chanting TNA!

McKenzie Mitchell is the new ring announcer, and she introduces Ace Austin who is the challenger for this opening match…up next is the music for Moose and the champion makes his way to the ring with JDC and Alisha Edwards.

There is a brand new X-Division Title belt that Moose made himself that is shown.

X-Division Championship Championship Match: Moose defends against Ace Austin

Moose unveiled a new belt design. The match was power versus speed. Ace picked up steam toward the end, but the System was there to cause distractions. Johnny Dango Curtis trifled with Ace on the outside. Moose charged for a spear. Ace sidestepped, and Moose speared JDC. Ace hit the Fold finisher on the floor. He loaded Moose into the ring. Ace saw Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards running down to the ring, so he took them out with a dive. Back inside, Ace went for a springboard kick. Moose speared him out of the air. 1, 2, kick out by Ace! After a few roll-up attempts, Ace stunned Moose with a high kick. He went for the Art of Finesse to honor Chris Bey, but Moose speared him out of the air again. Moose hit another spear to win. Great performance by Ace in defeat.

The System surrounded Ace for a beatdown. Eric Young and Steve Maclin arrived for the save. That led into the next scheduled match.

Eric Young & Steve Maclin defeated Brian Myers & Eddie Edwards.

Alisha Edwards blocked Maclin from the Tree of Woe spear on Myers. Eddie distracted the referee. Alisha hit Maclin, then Myers speared him. Kick out by Maclin. Young saved his partner from the System’s backpack stunner combo. EY took care of Edwards, and Maclin hit the KIA finisher on Myers to win.

Knockouts Tag Team Championship: Jody Threat & Dani Luna (c) defeated Ash by Elegance & Heather by Elegance to retain the titles.

Ash and Heather were dressed like the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. Much like the Cowboys in the past 25+ years, they also failed to win the big one. Luna was the game-changer with a barrage of German suplexes. A huge deadlift German suplex to Ash over the ropes set up the Pressure Drop powerbomb combo for victory. Commentary wondered if Ash was the legal competitor, so this feud may not be over.

Tessa Blanchard defeated Jordynne Grace.

Badass match. Grace executed creative power moves. Blanchard used wily offense to swing momentum. The story of the finish was Blanchard trying to remove a turnbuckle pad. She had trouble the first two times. Blanchard went forth anyway for a hammerlock DDT onto the pad. Grace kicked out on the cover. Blanchard went back to that tactic and finally succeeded in pulling off the turnbuckle pad. She hit a bulldog onto the exposed steel. Blanchard took to the air for a flying Codebreaker to win.

I Quit match: Mike Santana defeated Josh Alexander.

Northern Armory were banned from ringside. Alexander punished Santana for most of the match. When asked to quit, Santana laughed and said there is no quit in his blood. Alexander dished out more pain and a C4 spike piledriver. Santana popped up with adrenaline for a buckle bomb, avalanche rana, frog splash, and Spin the Block lariat. Santana zip-tied Alexander’s hands behind his back to beat him with a slapjack. Alexander wouldn’t quit. When Santana threatened a curb stomp into the steel steps, Alexander finally quit. Alexander was a man of his word to shake Santana’s hand and pass the torch as the standard-bearer of TNA. Then Alexander dropped the bombshell that he quit TNA.

TNA World Tag Team Championship: Matt Hardy & Jeff Hardy (c) defeated Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz to retain the titles.

Fraxiom pulled up uninvited for a ringside seat. After accidental collisions into the NXT tag team champions during the match, tensions were boiling. Security intervened to escort Fraxiom to the back. The Hardys and the Rascalz traded near falls. In the end, Trey was victim to a Twist of Fate from Jeff, a Twist of Fate from Matt, and a swanton bomb from Jeff.

Knockouts Championship: Masha Slamovich (c) defeated Rosemary in Raven’s Clockwork Orange House of Fun match to retain the title.

Hardcore weapons all around. The big spots were a crossbody by Slamovich over the ropes into Rosemary through a table, Rosemary bringing out Janice, a Snow Plow by Slamovich onto a barbed wire board, Rosemary pushing over a ladder to send Slamovich crashing through tables. The final blow was an avalanche piledriver by Slamovich onto chairs. After the match, Cora Jade from NXT had a staredown with Slamovich. The implication was a future Knockouts title match.

TNA World Championship: Joe Hendry defeated Nic Nemeth (c) to win the title.

Ryan Nemeth ran his mouth, so Santino Marella banned him from ringside for the main event. Also of note, Frankie Kazarian earlier said he would be keeping on an eye on the world title bout to cash in his Call Your Shot trophy if the opportunity pleases him.

During the match, Ryan returned with a front row ticket.

Clean back and forth wrestling match until Kaz ran down to cash in when both Nemeth and Hendry were exhausted on the mat. JBL! JBL wouldn’t have that. He hit a Clothesline from Hell to Kaz then punched Ryan for good measure. JBL exited, and the match finished clean.

Down the stretch, Hendry shed off the Danger Zone finisher to hit the Standing Ovation slam. Nemeth kicked out! Hendry went for a second Standing Ovation. Nemeth escaped and hit a superkick plus a Danger Zone. Hendry kicked out. Hendry caught a superkick to counter for a fallaway slam. The challenger was amped with energy to hit the Standing Ovation for the win. The crowd celebrated in jubilation.
