Some highlights of last night's show consisted of the semi-finals of the Tag Team Tournament to crown new #1 Contenders to The Wolves' TNA World Tag Team Championship. Main event time saw Bobby Lashley defending the TNA World Title against Bobby Roode. Let's get to the recap.

Ki lands a "Tidal Crush" on MVP then hits a drop kick on King. Joe relocks the "Coquina Clutch" on King and forces King to tap out.
- Backstage, Devon is on his phone and it appears he has some help in his feud with Bram.
- Inside the ring, Bram says he's going to destroy the brotherhood of hardcore. Bram calls out Magnus. Magnus talks about his past, fighting side by side with Bram and opening the door for British wrestlers to compete. Devon interrupts and introduces his backup......."The Innovator of Violence", Tommy Dreamer. All four men brawl all over ringside and in the aisle. Devon grabs a chair forcing Bram and Magnus to retreat.
- Backstage, Madison Rayne and Taryn Terrell confront each other. Rayne understands why Terrell won't talk to her. Terrell tells Rayne to just concentrate on their tag match with The Beautiful People, later.
- Backstage, "Stone Cold" Shark Boy, is eating hot dogs and taking pictures. Shark Boy says "shell yeah" when asked if he can be the man eater he used to be. No one believes he can, however.

- Backstage, James Storm, Manik and Sanada claim that tonight the revolution will get bigger.
- Inside the ring, James Storm says he brings new meaning to peoples lives, mentions the good he's done for Sanada and Manik and then calls out Davey Richards. Storm asks Richards if he's thought about the offer of joining Revolution. Eddie Edwards comes out and pulls Richards aside to make sure he's not really thinking of doing it. Edwards tells Storm that Richards would not throw away everything The Wolves have accomplished for Revolution. Richards tells Edwards he can talk for himself and it appears there is a missunderstanding between Edwards and Richards. Storm interrupts and says this is Richards awakening.
