The following was taped on Wednesday night in New York City, New York.

TNA Impact Wrestling tapings for July 17 and July 24, 2014:

* Kurt Angle came out announcing the return of the six-sided ring. He said the company has made mistakes in the past and tonight marks the official reboot of the brand. Angle then introduced Taz. Taz cut a promo about how the roster today looks exactly like the same locker room back in the ECW days.

* Tommy Dreamer and Bully Ray were out next. Ray wants to keep his promise of putting Dixie Carter through a table. Dreamer called TNA the new Madhouse of Extreme and that the fans were the biggest part of the changes. EC3 and Rhino interrupt. EC3 said Dixie isn’t going through a table. Dreamer said this isn’t a PG show and wants to see less talking, more action. This got a tag match started.

* EC3 and Rhino def. Tommy Dreamer and Bully Ray.

* Austin Aries retained the TNA X Division Championship in a Gauntlet match. It came down to Aries and Sanada. Others involved included Eddie Edwards, Manik, Davey Richards and DJ Z.

* MVP cut a promo saying he was wrestling tonight under protest.

* Eric Young and Bobby Roode def. MVP and Kenny King via DQ. MVP used his crutch.

This is where the second taping was believed to have started.

* Dixie Carter, Rhino, Rockstar Spud and EC3 came out. Carter talked down the fans in NYC and mocked Tommy Dreamer’s promo from a few weeks ago. Dreamer and Bully Ray are out next with a table. A brawl broke out with EC3 and Rhino. Dixie was saved from being put through a table. Devon hit the ring and attacked EC3. 3D on EC3 through a table.

* Xplosion match: Velvet Sky def. TNA Knockouts Champion Gail Kim in a non-title match.

* Low Ki def. DJ Z.

* The Great Muta def. Robbie E. After the match, James Storm cut a promo on Muta running him down saying he was another old guy coming here at the expense of young guys that helped build the company.

* Kurt Angle brought out Austin Aries to find out his decision for Destination X – would he forfeit his X Division Championship for a title shot or not. TNA Champion Lashley and MVP interrupt. Aries tells MVP he has unfinished business and hands the X Division title over to Angle. So it will be Lashley vs. Aries for the TNA Championship at the Destination X taping.

* Dixie Carter cut a promo from the balcony with King Mo. She ran down Dreamer.

* EC3, Rhino and Rockstar Spud def. Tommy Dreamer, Bully Ray and Devon. Devon was attacked by a guy in a sweatshirt that turned out to be former WWE star Gene Snitsky.
