TNA iMPACT! Taping Results for the next two weeks on Spike TV...
On Wednesday, April 18, 2007 at 2:14 PM EST The following took place on Tuesday in Orlando, FL:
TNA iMPACT Tapings for Hour One:
- Jeff Jarrett came out to the Impact Zone followed by Kurt Angle. Angle is mad at Jarrett for letting Sting get the winning pinfall at Lockdown. Sting then comes out and it sets up Sting vs. Kurt Angle next week with Sting's title match at Sacrifice on the line.
- Gail Kim and Jackie Moore are shown brawling in the crowd.
- Robert Roode defeated Chris Harris.
- Roode informs Eric Young that he has to tell him who is friend is by next week.
- Christopher Daniels defeated Samoa Joe, AJ Styles and Rhino. Daniels got the pin on Rhino after hitting him with a bat.
- (Note: This is expected to air next week) Robert Roode and Eric Young come back out to the Impact Zone. Roode demands Young tell him who is friend is. When Young won't tell him, Roode hits him with a chair and then proceeds to handcuff him. While this takes place, Jeff Jarrett runs down and takes out Roode and hits Ms. Brooks over the head with a guitar.
- Team 3D defeated NWA World Champion Christian Cage & Abyss to retain the NWA World Tag Team Titles. Team 3D gave the 3D on Abyss to get the win. LAX watched the match at ringside, but did nothing. After the match, Cage argued with Abyss. Abyss looks to attack Cage, but doesn't. The rest of Team Cage comes out and then attack Abyss. Abyss fights all of them off and then gives James Mitchell a Black Hole Slam. The segment then ends with Team Cage beating down Abyss with a steel chair and barbed wire bat.
TNA iMPACT Tapings for Hour Two:
- Xpolosion Match: Jerry Lynn defeated Johnny Devine.
- Xpolosion Match: X Division Champion Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley defeated Senshi & Petey Williams.
- Kurt Angle vs. Sting went to a No Contest. Lots of stalling early on when Christian and his team ran down to interfere and take out both Angle and Sting. Angle and Sting then cleared house together.
- Jay Lethal & Sonjay Dutt won a Four Way Tag Team Match over Senshi & Shark Boy, Alex Shelley & Kazarian and Jerry Lynn & Petey Williams. This match was designed so that the winners would complete in a Triple Threat Match at Sacrifice for the X Division Title against Chris Sabin.
- It was announced that due to what happened earlier in the Angle vs. Sting match, Christian Cage will now defend the NWA World Title against Sting in the main event. It was also mentioned that if any member of Team Cage comes to ringside to interfere, then Cage would automatically lose the title.
- Team 3D retained the NWA World Tag Team Titles against Scott Steiner & Tomko. LAX interfered to help 3D, which looked like the start of an angle to make sure they get another shot at 3D and no one else.
- Christian Cage defeated Sting by DQ to retain the NWA World Title. Kurt Angle hit the ring and attacked Cage to cause the DQ on Sting. Sting then hits Angle with his bat and leaves with a disappointed look on his face.
Matches Confirmed for Sacrifice:
* Chris Sabin (c) vs. Jay Lethal vs. Sonjay Dutt - X Division Title
Possible Matches for Sacrifice:
- Christian Cage (c) vs. Kurt Angle vs. Sting - NWA World Title
