TNA Impact Friday spoilers from Pittsburgh: NXT champion appears

The following are spoilers from Fridays TNA Impact TV taping in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, courtesy of PWInsider.

  • The show opened with a Joe Hendry in-ring promo about TNA World Champion Trick Williams. Santino Marella then came out and said that it’s his job to point out facts and one of them is that Hendry hasn’t activated his rematch clause. They then make the rematch official for July’s Slammiversary.
  • Zachary Wentz defeated Ryan Nemeth
  • Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich accepted Killer Kelly’s challenge and then suggested it should be a chain match for next week.
  • Ash by Elegance won a battle royal to earn a future Knockouts title shot. As Slamovich came out on the ramp afterward to stare Ash down, NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne then came out to stare down both of them.
  • Jake Something was shown in the back as he is back from the injured list and had a quick confrontation with Steve Maclin as he wants a shot at the International title.
  • Mustafa Ali defeated John Skyler in a Call to Arms match. As Order 4 appears to be done after Ali took out Skyler and Jason Hotch, Ali was about to hit Tasha Steelz with a chair when Cedric Alexander made his surprise debut. Hotch, Skyler and Steelz stood behind Alexander as Ali escaped.
  • There was a System backstage promo which ended with Matt Cardona and Brian Myers still staring each other down.
  • The Hardys defeated The Northern Armory’s Judas Icarus & Travis Williams. Matt and Jeff then called out Leon Slater to put him over for his X-Division title challenge of Moose at Slammiversary.
