Austin Aries is backstage, and he says that he's finally figured out which buttons to push around TNA, and next week on Open Fight Night, we're not going to want to miss what he's going to do.
(5) Bobby Roode vs. James Storm
James Storm goes crazy on Roode to start this match, firing away with rights and lefts in the corner. Roode takes him down off the second rope with a big atomic drop, and Roode starts removing the cover from the turnbuckle. Roode goes to the outside and smashes Storm's leg against the steel ring post as we head to our final commercial.
As we come back, Roode is still in control of the match, stomping away at his opponents limbs in the middle of the ring. He sets in a verticle keylock, but Storm powers out with the momentum from the Impact Zone. Roode goes right back into the keylock though, and once again Storm gets back to his feet. The two trade right hands, and Storm gets a Russian legsweep and is finally back into this match. Roode tries getting that keylock again, but Storm takes him down with running forearm shots, followed by a running neckbreaker. Storm jumps to the apron and nails a big kick to his opponents back, sending him to the mat. The Cowboy goes up to the top rope, but Roode crotches him and fires away with right hands. Roode mounts the turnbuckle as well, but Storm throws him off. Roode back up again, and this time he gets closer to the superplex. Storm fights him off though and gets a senton powerbomb from the top rope!
Storm sets up for the Eye of the Storm, but Roode wiggles free and gets a spinebuster. Crossface locked in, and the Impact Zone starts chanting for the Cowboy. Roode breaks the hold and tries for a hammerlock slam, but Storm gets Closing Time (a Codebreaker) and sets up for the Last Call Superkick. Storm goes for it, but Roode throws referee Earl Hebner into the way out of. Storm stops just in time, but Roode rolls him up with a handful of tights for the three count.
Winner and new #1 contender: Bobby Roode
