TNA World Heavyweight Championship
Matt Hardy vs Ethan Carter III (c)
Ethan hits Matt a few times, but Matt swings right back and hits him and knocks him outside as we go to a break. We get back to see Ethan scoop slam Matt, then he goes for an elbow drop but Matt rolls away and also breaks a sleeperhold. Matt hits a jawbreaker and some clotheslines, then follows with a bulldog and a flying elbow. Matt hits a Side Effect for two, then calls for a Twist of Fate but Ethan shoves him into the corner and inadvertently hits the ref. Matt counters and hits a Twist of Fate for two, but the ref is down and Tyrus hits Matt from behind.
Ethan runs over and hits Matt with the title, but Matt kicks out, so Ethan goes on attack but Matt shoves him away. Jeff hits Ethan behind the ref’s back to even it up, then Matt slams Ethan down before they trade punches. Jeff hits Tyrus with a chair on the floor as Ethan hits a One Percenter for two, then Matt avoids a splash and hits a tornado DDT for two. Ethan knocks Matt back and calls for a Twist of Fate, mocking his opponent, but Matt shoves him into the corner and almost hits the ref again. They stop from hitting the ref, but Ethan low blows Matt and rolls him up for the win.
Winner – Ethan Carter III
