The Carter Ultimatum
Jeff Hardy says Matt Hardy needs one more shot – one more chance to become the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. If granted another shot, Matt vows to become the champion that leads TNA into the future.
Ethan Carter III recalls watching the Hardys as a child. He says competing against two legends couldn’t be more…disappointing. EC3 says he went into God Mode and stood atop Matt Hardy like Zeus on Mount Olympus.
Carter and the Hardys trade barbs. EC3 says if the crowd chants “Matt for Champ,” Matt will have his title match, with one condition: If he defeats Matt, then Jeff becomes his personal assistant. The Hardys decide later.

Who’s the Cover Girl? 2016 Knockouts Calendar Cover Reveal
The Pope and Josh Mathews reveal that all three women – Gail Kim, Brooke and Velvet Sky – in the running for the cover of the 2016 Knockouts Calendar will grace the cover.
Dixie’s Decision | Will Jeff Jarrett Run Impact Wrestling?
Dixie Carter says she was one of the few people who knew about the opportunity for Jeff Jarrett’s return to Impact Wrestling. Even though, when it happened, she was just as shocked and surprised. She says it made her the happiest person.
Dixie invites Jarrett to the ring.
Jarrett says he’s still surprised to have received the call to return. He says that after founding and spending ten years with TNA Wrestling, he’s now excited to be joining Dixie Carter in a Global Force Wrestling and TNA Wrestling alliance.
Dixie says that when she and Jarrett work together, they’re unstoppable. Drew Galloway interrupts!
Galloway says he’s made an important discovery: Jeff Jarrett’s name was on the getaway rental cars identified after each of the backstage assaults (on Bully Ray and Galloway). Galloway accuses Jarrett, saying he stood to gain the most.
Jarrett denies his involvement.
Galloway threatens Jarrett while demanding answers. Karen Jarrett enters the Impact Zone taking full responsibility. She claims to have acted in the interest of Jeff Jarrett, their family and GFW.
Karen tells Jeff he deserved it – that TNA is his company. Then she warns, “One little spark can cause a giant inferno!”
Jarrett low blows Galloway and says, “Sometimes a man’s got to do, what a man’s got to do” as the GFW roster floods the ring against Galloway. The Impact roster tries to even the odds, but the show goes off the air with the Impact Wrestling roster fallen and Dixie Carter looking on in disbelief.
