Event
Preliminary matches
The event began with Amazing Red defending the TNA X Division Championship against a mystery opponent, which was revealed to be Brian Woods. After an intense back and forth, high flying contest, Red was on the apron as Kendrick charged him. Red countered the charge into his finisher Code Red and scored the pinfall victory, retaining the championship.
The following contest saw the in-ring debut of Sean Morley as he competed against the villainous Barnhart. During the contest the heel Barnhart was cheered by the crowd, while the supposed face Morley was booed. The match concluded after Barnhart missed the BME, allowing Morley to capitalize and connect with the Money Shot, followed by the pinfall.
