EY takes pride in bringing immense pain to both Bobby Roode and Jeff Hardy, and praises Matt as world champ, but says the title goes through him. Kurt Angle shows up and says he's talked to TNA official concerning his next farewell tour match...and it's him vs Matt for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. A livid Matt Hardy tells Kurt Angle he will end his career if he keeps this up, but Angle says he can whup everyone in the ring right now if he has to. Suddenly, Beer Money ("The Cowboy" James Storm and Bobby Roode) show up, and they're in the mood for a fight, and declare that they will give a beatdown to Eric Young and Bram. This starts a brawl in which Crazzy Steve and Abyss show up in order to take advantage of the confusion, but The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) follow them into the ring and fight them off.

Lashley beats Aiden O'Shea despite the distraction provided by Raquel. After the match, Raquel heads into the ring and gets a microphone. She tells Lashley the same message as last time: she can bring him pain, or she can bring him pleasure.

Ethan Carter III says the world will hear it all tonight...

Maria Kanellis shows up and says that women's wrestling needs a leader to point it in the right direction. She decrees that the Knockouts Division is broken. Gail Kim shows up, and says she respect Maria, but Maria fancies herself a businesswoman and says she can make Gail mainstream.

Gail wants none of this, and wants to fight her right now. Maria retreats.

Kurt Angle says he's had the time of his life in TNA. Lashley wishes him luck tonight.

Trevor Lee beats Tigre Uno to win the TNA X Division Championship!

The now-once-defeated Ethan Carter III says he suffered the worst beating of his life two weeks ago.

Jeff Hardy starts off tonight's show. He feels something is off about the deal Matt Hardy made to Ethan Carter III, and asks him to come to the ring. He does. Jeff knows he and Matt have become famous out of taking huge risks, and owes Matt so much, but he feels uneasy about tonight's main event. Matt feels he's let everyone down, but says tonight is the night for this. He knows Ethan Carter III uses his ego to get around, and decided to beat him at his own game by putting his TNA career on the line. He plans to beat EC3 at his own game and make everyone proud. Jeff understands, and says Matt still has a chance. Suddenly, Tyrus shows up and says that their dreams will become nightmares.

When he asks who's next, Lashley appears. He says he respects Angle more than anyone else in the business for discovering him and helping him get into professional wrestling. He also remembers their match from this time last year, and even though Lashley lost, he says the match was incredible. He has looked back on it frequently, and he wants another match with Angle.

Dixie shows up and calls EC3's out-of-ring behavior "deplorable" for not involving himself in the feud between TNA and Global Force Wrestling. EC3 says he told her not to trust Jeff Jarrett, but she didn't listen. He also says he sleeps "pretty damn comfortably now that he's World Heavyweight Champion." He tells Drew Galloway that he can't beat him.

Bobby Roode shows up. He is proud to be TNA King of the Mountain Champion, and says that the title represents professional wrestling.

Wednesday Night iMPACT! - Impact Wrestling recap for September 9, 2015

Ethan Carter III and Tyrus show up to start the show. He talks about the TNA-GFW feud, then says he doesn't give a crap and that he's still world champion. He admits that Matt Hardy gave him a match for the ages, but says Matt still made a grave mistake in betting against him. He then says to the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils for EC3 is a new personal assistant in Jeff Hardy. EC3 immediately starts bossing him around, stripping him of his entrance music and tossing water at him after Hardy hands them a few bottles of water. Hardy also gets a first-day gift: a giant EC3 head on a stick, which he has to hold up at all times. EC3 then gives Hardy a few index cards to read off, which put EC3 on a pedestal.

Karen goes on to say that Roode and Dixie Carter are both outnumbered, as is TNA, and says that Roode should consider teaming up with Jarrett like he has time and again. Karen then tells Jeff that they're leaving, and they do.

Next week is Destination X, and though Angle is waiting for the day to shut him up, it might be Rockstar Spud as he just might cash in the X Division title for a shot at him. EC3 says he knows Spud, and says he’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse. As EC3 leaves, so does the barbershop quintet, but the bass vocalist gets an Angle Slam.

Before Spud can make a decision, Ethan Carter III and Tyrus show up. Ethan Carter III has gotten off the phone with Dixie Carter, and he offers Spud a lifetime contract as Chief of Staff if he keeps the X Division title and lets him get the shot at Angle.

Madison tells Velvet what her place is by slapping her, but Velvet breaks her in half with a Spear before hitting a Stunner. After this, Angelina Love shows up again, and Velvet Sky fights off Love’s personal security one more only to get cuffed and hauled off a second time…but not before Love attacks Velvet. After Velvet is hauled off, two real security guards show up and cuff Angelina Love for attacking a fan, and this time her personal security can’t help her as she too is hauled off.
