PRESHOW: SHARK BOY vs. NIGEL MCGUINNESS
This match featured the TNA debut of Nigel McGuinness as he began the match by mocking Shark Boy. Tenay mentioned how Nigel was wrestling in the UK last night, then flew to Florida today for TNA, and will be flying this week to Japan to wrestle there. Moments later, Nigel overpowered Shark Boy with some holds, as Shark Boy later gave a nice bite to Nigel where it counts as he then followed with knife edge chops. Later, Nigel delivered a vertical suplex from the turnbuckle which resulted in a near fall. Shortly after, Shark Boy won the match after locking in a small package pin.
Winner: Shark Boy
We were brought backstage to Team Canada's locker room as Bobby Roode warned 3Live Kru to prepare to be Canadianized. Petey Williams then took the floor by proclaiming to be on a role right now as he even defeated the X-Division Champion, AJ Styles last night in the Finisher vs. Finisher match. Petey concluded by saying that AJ will not be able to get up from the Canadian Destroyer tonight. Scott D'Amore also added that he will be in major meetings tonight and that the major acquisition for TNA tonight could also be a major acquisition for Team Canada as well.
PRESHOW: THE DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH vs. THE NATURALS & LANCE HOYT
This match featured the return of Chase Stevens of The Naturals after suffering a neck injury a few weeks past. Lance Hoyt started off this match as he had the strength advantage against Primetime. Just after a series of punches in the corner to Skipper, Hoyt tagged in Andy Douglas of The Naturals as he then went to work on David Young who was tagged in by Skipper. It was a match of back and forth adrenaline action as moments later, Andy Douglas and Lance Hoyt both went high-risk to the outside. Later on, Elix Skipper used innovation to spear Chase Stevens down right through the ropes, as The Diamonds In The Rough were back in control. All hell broke loose as Andy Douglas saw what The Diamonds In The Rough were doing, they were attempting to re-injury Chase Stevens' neck. Ultimately in the end, The Diamonds In The Rough gained victory as they sent Andy Douglas and Lance Hoyt to the outside and took advantage of Chase Stevens left helpless in the middle of the ring.
Winners: The Diamonds In The Rough
We were then shown the door of where the major acquisition for TNA is right now as we were brought back to ringside as the main portion of this pay-per-view broadcast was about to begin. Moments later, Raven was shown worked up and ready to go for the opening bout of the Genesis pay-per-view event.
In Memory of Eddie Guerrero, 1967-2005.
And now from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling presents "Genesis" live on pay-per-view!
Before the opening match, Larry Zbyszko gave Raven a choice to either sign a release and leave TNA stay in TNA and have his contract become a living hell. Raven chose to stay as the opening match began just after Larry mentioned about Raven's girlfriend that had him snap.
RAVEN vs. PJ POLACO
Yes that's right, the man formally known as Justin Credible, PJ Polaco was brought in by Larry Zbyszko to face Raven here tonight as this match broke out in a vicious start as Raven startled PJ Polaco with stick knee shots to the head and then a head lock. Larry Zbyszko stayed ringside with security to look on as PJ Polaco, a former ECW World Heavyweight Champion, was now in control with a series of leg drop kicks in the corner to Raven. PJ Polaco later continued his offensive control with an arm bar lock with variations to a dragon sleep. PJ then drove Raven out of the ring with a knee shot as he then grabbed his famous Singapore cane stick. Cassidy Riley was quick to appear on the scene in defense of Raven but PJ didn’t care, he swung at Riley and knocked him down with vicious swing! Later, Raven attempted a Raven Effect as PJ then attempted a super kick to wear Raven caught it and locked in an ankle lock. PJ was able to break out and deliver a DDT that received a near fall as Raven quickly thereafter hit the Raven Effect for the win.
Winner: Raven
Larry Zbyszko was seen at the top of the entrance way with security by his side with a disappointed face. Raven was in the ring celebrating the win.
The 3Live Kru were now backstage with Shane Douglas as BG James said that Team Canada may have the hockey sticks but the 3Live Kru has "mis hermano" Kip James.
HOCKEY STICK FIGHT:
TEAM CANADA vs. 3LIVE KRU
(Special Referee: Kip James)
Mayhem broke loose right from the get-go in this match as all combatants were outside brawling. Kip James was quick to take Konnan out of the bout to separate the brawl. Eric Young then put on what appeared to be a fabric hockey helmet and grabbed down a hockey stick. Kip James then took that stick and broke it across his leg. Bobby Roode continued to work on BG James in the ring. Later, BG James tagged in Ron Killings as he took down a hockey stick, but it was Bobby Roode behind him that took him down preventing him to use that stick. Killings was quick to gain back the advantage though as he now had Eric Young in the ring. Konnan took his shoe off and put it on the end of a hockey stick and let Team Canada taste it as he was tagged in. Moments later, BG was back in the ring but found himself in a precarious position on the top of Roode’s shoulders as he went down. Roode then hit BG with the knee from the top rope as he got a two count from Kip James. A1 was now in the ring for the first time tonight as he attempted to get a hockey stick but the almost lifeless BG pulled A1’s leg as A1 quickly went to work on BG James with some elbow drops. Several minutes later, Bobby Roode was taken down from a big boot by BG James after an attempted hockey stick shot. Killings was now tagged in and took full control on all members of the Canadian group. Later however, The Truth was hit by a Canadian Rocker from Roode and a Flying Elbow by Young off the top rope. Konnan tried helping out but he was shut down by Roode as he now took down a hockey stick. The Truth and BG though had hockey sticks of their own and as they proved to be the better hockey players as they proved to be victorious after hitting Eric Young where it counts between the legs.
Winners: 3Live Kru
After the match, Kip James and 3Live Kru were all on the same page as they all raised arms as the fans chanted Eddie’s name in tribute to the late Eddie Guerrero.
We now counted down to reveal the major acquisition in TNA as it was CHRISTIAN CAGE! Christian Cage has arrived in TNA! Christian Cage quickly grabbed the microphone in front of the erupted red-hot crowd within the iMPACT Zone! Christian Cage said that all week people asked him if the rumours were true about him going to TNA. He said he was here not to see the same damn guy come out week after week to say the same damn thing everytime, nor see a grown man dressed up as a doctor to pull something out of a man’s ass, nor did he come because he was fired. Christian Cage also said he was not low balled by a poor contract offer, the reason he came to TNA was the reason why everyone is in this arena is here today, and the same reason why everyone is watching Genesis today and that’s because he said quote, “I love wrestling”. Christian Cage also went on to say that he can crack a joke or two, but he says he is also one of the best wrestlers and that he wants to see wrestling reinvented. He’s tired of the politics. He says today there are two companies, one is old and lacking direction, and the other is TNA! He said this is something he wants to be apart of it, and in fact, he wanted to be the biggest piece of puzzle in it to where he went to Jeff Jarrett. He’s come to TNA for one thing that has eluted him his entire career; he wants the most important belt in professional wrestling, the NWA World Heavyweight Title. Christian Cage will fulfill his destiny. He then finished by saying, “Because that’s how I roll”.
Scott D’Amore along with Bobby Roode was quick to appear in the ring as he said he was looking for Christian Cage all day. D’Amore said he was happy to see him in a TNA ring more than anyone else, the fans showed us what they thought of that. D’Amore said we’ve gone through a long way and that it’s going to continue. He told Christian Cage that he understands that Christian Cage wants the NWA World Heavyweight Title but has to politically align himself with the right people in TNA for the balance of power. Bobby Roode then told Christian Cage that he has an opportunity to walk in on something that him and the boys have been working on for the past few years. He then told “Captain Charisma” that he’s other with them or against them. D’Amore quickly told Roode to zip it and told Christian that he didn’t have to answer right away as D’Amore then gave him a Team Canada t-shirt to put on. Christian Cage got back on the microphone as he said it’s the right size, but it’ll take some time to see if it’s the right fit. Captain Charisma headed backstage as we got ready for the next match.
CONTENDER'S MATCH:
"THE ALPHA MALE" MONTY BROWN vs. "THE CHARISMATIC ENIGMA" JEFF HARDY
The winner of this match would be a contender for the NWA World Heavyweight Title as Jeff Hardy, the veteran had the early advantage. The brute force of “The Alpha Male” Monty Brown however was able to let him capitalize momentarily. Later Monty Brown took Jeff Hardy outside and threw into the crowd. Seconds later, Jeff Hardy walked the guardrail and over the crowd onto Monty Brown! Jeff Hardy was no back in control and with the crowd’s support. Later on, Monty Brown showed great frustration ringside with Mike Tenay and Don West, but he took it right back to Jeff Hardy with a series of blows. Monty then attempted a scoop and slam but Hardy reversed and tried beating him with his own power game but instead had to go for a Twisted Corkscrew. Moments later, Jeff Hardy was in position to hit the Swanton but he took long to hit the move as Monty was able to move out the way and hit the Pounce and win the match.
Winner: "The Alpha Male" Monty Brown
ELIMINATION X:
"THE FALLEN ANGEL" CHRISTOPHER DANIELS, "THE SAMOAN SUBMISSION MACHINE" SAMOA JOE, ALEX SHELLEY, & RODERICK STRONG vs. CHRIS SABIN, MATT BENTLEY, SONJAY DUTT, & AUSTIN ARIES
The first ever Elimination X match started off with Roderick Strong and Matt Bentley squaring off against each other. Roderick went quick to work with a couple headlocks to where Matt Bentley tried several times to break out before finally using his fists to break out. Later in the match, Sonjay Dutt was tagged in, as he was literally all around Roderick Strong to where he had to tag in Shelley so he could regain himself. These two combatants now showed what the X-Division is all about with the wrestling clinic they were putting on. It was now Samoa Joe’s turn as Sonjay Dutt physically ate Joe’s big boot for dinner on this night! It was vicious and physical, as now Austin Aries came in to try and take the big Samoan Submission Machine down. That plan proved to be disastrous as Samoa Joe quite possibly has put Aries on borrowed time in this match as Daniels now went to work on him. Later on, Roderick Strong and Chris Sabin were hooking it up as Strong tagged in the self-proclaimed captain of his team to work on Sabin. After almost being eliminated earlier, Austin Aries was now back in the ring as he was on a mission to take someone out as he proved against Daniels and Strong. He then could a step-up kick from Shelley. By this time, all hell broke loose as each X star was showcasing their signature maneuvers and special exquisite moves. Seconds later, we were witnessing high-risk moves to the outside as back in the inside, Austin Aries eliminated Roderick Strong with a 450 Splash. Shortly after, Christopher Daniels eliminated Austin Aries with a reverse pin. Sonjay now was immediate to take full control for his team. He was taking out Shelley, Joe, and Daniels all at the same time with his great arsenal, but it was a miscalculation by Sonjay that had himself submit to Alex Shelley in a crossface. It was now Matt Bentley with the Super Kick that eliminated Alex Shelley. Sabin later delivered one-drop kick to the upside-down hung Daniels on the turnbuckle and another one where he looked like he was suspended in midair before hitting Daniels. Then, Matt Bentley hit Samoa Joe with a flying elbow from the top rope to where Daniels then hit the BME on Bentley for a near fall. X-Division action at it’s best was being showcased tonight on Genesis! At this time we now saw a Tower of Doom to where Joe was the only man standing as he cleared the ring and got the knee up on Bentley. Just before Bentley was going to taste another big boot, Bentley hit a stiff Super Kick taking him down but it was Daniels there to make the save for Joe. Samoa Joe later hit the Muscle Buster and locked in the Rear Naked Choke to eliminate Bentley. Chris Sabin was the final remaining competitor from his team. Sabin immediately took action first with a swing-around DDT hitting down Joe at the same time. This was his time to shine, as he was going to hit a Cradle Shock. Daniels though stopped that, as he now was going to hit the Cradle Shock on Daniels but this time Joe stopped that. Joe now wanted to hit the Muscle Buster on Sabin; however, it was Matt Bentley who pulled him out. Christopher Daniels saw the opportunity and took action by eliminating Chris Sabin with the Angels Wings, gaining the win for his team.
Winners: Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Alex Shelley, Roderick Strong
The aftermath of the match saw an irate Samoa Joe attack Christopher Daniels with kicks, chops, and chair shots. Then, Samoa Joe smashed Daniels’ head into the guardrail with a big boot to where he was now busted open. Joe took Daniels back into the ring and delivered a Muscle Buster. Security tried to stop Samoa Joe but he stopped them from trying to stop him. Samoa Joe then took Daniels and hit the Muscle Buster onto the steel chair. Samoa Joe was done as he left one of these sickest displays in the X-Division.
Christopher Daniels was in the ring motionless. A stretcher was brought in as Daniels needed immediate medical attention. AJ Styles now came down as he seemed to be concerned for Christopher Daniels, even though he has been one of his biggest rivals throughout his career. Daniels was now taken out of the building on the stretcher as AJ Styles looked to be disgusted of Joe's actions as he went back to the locker room area.
Jeff Jarrett was backstage now as he said TNA has brought in Christian Cage to take over what so many longtime TNA wrestlers have been working for. Jarrett said he wasn’t going to stand for it, nor will America’s Most Wanted.
We were now backstage as we saw Christopher Daniels being taken out of the building via ambulance.
NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH:
SABU VS. "THE MONSTER" ABYSS
Sabu entered the ring with immediate mind games as he had his arm covered but as he revealed his arm there was no barbed wire. Sabu went high-risk to the outside with Abyss. Abyss quickly shifted momentum by throwing Sabu into the guardrail. Moments later, Sabu took out two tables but he wasn’t able to effectively use them as Abyss brought Sabu back into the ring to maul him. James Mitchell was looking on in approval of Abyss’ actions in the ring against Sabu. Abyss was stalking his pray with huge high impact moves knocking down the daredevil, Sabu. Sabu was on the brink of losing this match; however, as Abyss was going to go high-risk, Sabu took note and gained back the advantage by hitting a hurricanrana off the top rope. Sabu was then hit by a steel chair square on in the face as he now had a bleeding nose and what almost looked like a concussion with the way he was holding his head. Sabu spring boarded off the ropes catching Abyss with a leg drop, and then a moonsault. Sabu now had a steel chair but he improved and caught Abyss’ head over the top rope through the table on the outside to which raised the fans to their feet! Abyss now crawled around the ring and grabbed his bag of thumbtacks. As Abyss was spreading the thumbtacks, Sabu had a cahir wrapped in barbed wire as he was just about to hit Abyss with it but Mitchell was able to sustain the chair with his cane as Abyss then choke slammed Sabu through the thumb tacks but Sabu kicked out of the pin and the match continues! Abyss now went for a splash off the top rope and caught nothing but thumbtacks! Next, Sabu was Black Hole Slammed into the chair wrapped in barbed wire as Abyss got the win!
Winner: “The Monster” Abyss
TNA X-DIVISION TITLE MATCH:
"THE PHENOMENAL" AJ STYLES (c) vs. "THE CANADIAN DESTROYER" PETEY WILLIAMS
The fans were divided in this match as the duel chants occurred before two great wrestling technicians as they began with counters and reversals to one another’s moves as it was just one year ago on pay-per-view at Victory Road when these two had their last one on one X-Division Title match. At this point, AJ caught Petey flush on the face with a missile drop kick. AJ then later went airborne and crashed down with the knee to the head of Petey Williams as his head bounced off the mat. AJ was showing just how proud he is of what the X-Division is as he drops down a vertical suplex on Petey. A mid range exchange occurred and now Petey was outside and AJ did a limp dive over and onto Petey. Williams delivered a huge German Suplex off the ring apron that had AJ Styles going back first right into the guardrail. A1 at this time was sent to the back as Petey wanted to use the hockey stick, but chose otherwise since the referee was present. Midrange exchanges then saw the two delivering high impact moves with Petey Williams in control for most of them but it was a roll up in the corner that saw AJ gain back some momentum. Back in the corner though, AJ had his windpipe in his throat take full force of the ropes as he was going to go high-risk but Petey prevented it. AJ now was back in control with spinning lariats and then a variation of a Pump Handle Slam followed by a variation of a German Suplex to then a Face Buster Slam, which resulted in a near fall. At this point in time, the match had been a very even one. AJ then took Petey up but Petey swung back down and hit a hard DDT to AJ. Petey now had a Sharpshooter locked in, but AJ used his strength and will to reach for the rope to break it up. Petey then attempted a Canadian Destroyer from the top rope but AJ reversed it and was going to go for the Spiral Tap. Samoa Joe then appeared at the top of the stage as Petey then climbed up and was ultimately hit by the Styles Clash from the top rope to retain the title.
Winner & Still TNA X-Division Champion: AJ Styles
