He says this will be the last “sad story” in Roode’s “sad pathetic career.” Roode comes out and says that history is written by the winners. He says that EY cost him his World Title and then attempted to end Roode’s career, but since then he has beaten EY inside a Steel Cage and he was the last man standing in their Last Man Standing Match. Roode says that EY has been going around saying that as long as he is still breathing he will make sure that Roode never gets another World Title shot. Roode says he is there to make sure he ends this story and ends EY tonight. EY says he is going to make Roode tap out and break his will. Roode says that if EY wants a Submission Match then that is exactly what he will get! Roode says that he is going to make EY’s ass tap out and cry like the little bitch that he is! Roode hits the ring and the fight is on!

Submission Match

EY attempts a Shoulderblock through the ropes on Roode but Roode moves and then kicks EY and goes to lock in the Crossface! EY quickly gets to the ropes and then bails out to the floor. EY starts to retreat up the ramp but then eats a Northern Lariat from Roode! Roode puts EY in the Crossface on the ramp but the referee reminds him that he can’t win on the outside. Roode throws EY back in the ring and then attempts to whip EY into the corner, but EY reverses it and then Roode attempts to float over the charging EY only to land bad on his knee. Roode sells the knee injury but manages to fight EY off and connect with a Blockbuster for a nearfall. Roode continues to sell the knee allowing EY to get a second wind and catch Roode with a knee. EY charges right into the Double-R Spinebuster from Roode! Roode grabs his knee and then collapses to the mat as the referee checks on him.

EY slams Roode onto the ring steps and then pulls Roode’s kneepad down on his injured leg and slams it down onto the ring steps! EY rolls Roode into the ring and trades strikes with Roode in the middle of the ring. EY whips Roode into the ropes but Roode’s leg gives out on him and he falls to the mat. EY quickly grabs Roode’s legs and puts him in the Figure Four again! Roode is able to reverse the hold but Roode has to release the hold because of the pain in his own leg. EY goes for the Figure Four again but Roode kicks him away! EY falls into the referee and then turns around right into the Crossface from Roode! EY taps out but the referee is still down.

—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-

TNA Tag Team Champions The Wolves come down to the ring with Eddie Edwards on crutches. Footage of The Wolves winning the Tag Titles a few weeks ago against The Revolution is shown as they come to the ring. Footage of Edwards’ injury at a One Night Only PPV taping is then shown as well as the actual x-ray showing Eddie’s foot injury.

A visibly frustrated Eddie Edwards says that pro wrestling is a very dangerous sport and everytime they come to the ring they risk injury. He says that he and Davey take things to the limit and this time it cost him. He says that he fought through the injury when it first happened but as soon as he got to the back reality settled in. He says they didn’t know how bad it was until he got to the hospital and he says that he fractured his heel. An “Eddie Edwards” chant starts up and Eddie says that he is going to be out for a while so he and Davey cannot defend their titles.

Borash asks Davey if he will try to find another partner to defend the titles, but Davey says that he and Eddie are more than partners they are family. He says that they started this journey together and they went through hell to be able to stand with their “Wolves Nation” to say that they are the best tag team in the world. He said wolves hunt in a pack so without one member there is no Wolves. He says that they have decided that they will relinquish the titles until Eddie can come back and they can once again regain their belts.

Davey places the tag titles on the turnbuckles and then says that whichever team ends up winning those belts The Wolves WILL hunt them down no matter who it is. He says that the Wolves will hunt them, capture them, and tear them to shreds! Davey says no matter how much they get down they will always come back stronger because their hunt never dies.

Backstage Christy Hemme is with Lashley. He says that everytime he gets knocked down he always picks himself up. He says that the first time he faced Angle he beat him but he won’t cry about it. He says that Angle has something that belongs to him and he will get it back.

The cast of Destination America’s “Ghost Asylum” (redneck version of “Ghost Adventures”) walk into The Revolution’s camp as James Storm has invited them. James said that there was an accident that happened in the barn behind them between friends and someone died. It’s the barn that Storm drags the members of The Revolution, like Manik and Sanada, into. Storm wants the “Ghost Asylum” guys to investigate the barn to see if his “friend” still inhabits it. Storm tells the rest of The Revolution that his granddaddy told him to never go into that barn with your friends. That was corny as hell.
