Makin' an iMPACT! - Impact Wrestling Recap for January 16, 2015

MVP comes out with his crew and says he’s always known it’s been him against the world, so he’s a genius and he surrounded himself with people who have an appetite for success. He calls Samoa Joe and Low Ki his family, and they have had highs and lows together, but they are together called ‘The Beat Down Clan.’ MVP says they’re nothing to… mess with, and he wants to introduce their world champion, but he has other business to deal with first. MVP introduces Eric Young, and Eric says no one’s opinion matters, and he couldn’t stand in the ring with MVP a month ago, but he respects him. He says MVP took something away from a brother, and when he (EY) was champion, he took care of Roode first. Eric says when Roode won the title back, he didn’t return the favor, and he was in the hospital because he defended Roode, and all he got was a text message. Eric says he actually did get the truth, and he took what Roode cared about most, so tonight he is taking everything else. MVP then introduces new champion Bobby Lashley, but Lashley doesn’t walk out, and instead they get Kurt Angle on the stage. MVP asks if he is stupid because they already beat him up enough, but Kurt says he’ll make them all tap out and Samoa Joe gets in his face. MVP taunts Kurt but Kurt punches Joe, then they try to go after each other but a group of security guards break them up. Kurt tells Joe if he wants a fight, he’ll get it, and he’ll get it right now!

Samoa Joe defeats Kurt Angle with the Rear Naked Choke. After the match, The BDC proceed to do a mugging on Kurt Angle until Bobby Roode comes out with an equalizer and sends the gang running!

Roode sits down in the middle of the ring. He says this crap in TNA has gone too far. Roode says he's going to make EY pay for his sins tonight.

The Revolution (James Storm, Abyss, Manik, Mahabali Sheera, The Great Sanada) watch the next match from the nosebleeds seats.

The Hardys defeated The Wolves to become the number one contenders for the TNA Tag Team Titles.

Feast of Fired begins next week!

As MVP and Kenny King chat backstage, it becomes readily apparent that Eric Young is preoccupied with Bobby Roode.

EC3 and Tyrus take over the broadcast room and harash Jeremy Borash. EC3 challenges him to a match next week, and if he doesn't accept, - he's gonna get more than his head shaved!

Eric Young defeats Bobby Roode in a No Disqualification Match after a nasty piledriver. The Beat Down Clan (MVP, Low Ki, Samoa Joe, Kenny King) show up and announces that Lashley will be here later tonight.

Brooke talks about how she carried the team of herself and Robbie E. throughout the Amazing Race competition.

The Beautiful People (Angelina Love & Velvet Sky) defeated Brooke & KOs Champion Taryn Terrell due to an interference by Robbie E. After the match, the lights go out and Awesome Kong standing in the ring. She destroys TBP before chokeslamming Robbie E. Havok comes out to the ring looking for a fight, but security has to come out and hold back these two.

EC3 meets up with Jeremy Borash, still wanting an answer to his challenge. JB comes up with the fact that he's not a wrestler - just an announcer. After further taunting (and mind games, if you will), JB finally accepts.

The camera crew is standing outside of a dressing room. Manik comes out of the room and motions the crew into the dressing room. James Storm introduces the world to his newest disciple, Mahabali Sheera, who's power and destruction will be unleashed next week!

Thanks to  the assistance by BDC member Kenny King, Low Ki defeats Austin Aries to win the X Division Title, bringing his reigns up to four.

MVP calls out Bobby Lashley and he shows this time. MVP says he got Lashley everything he has. MVP says The BDC (Beat Down Clan) owns the World Heavyweight Title. Lashley says the title is his. Lashley wants nothing to do with this and MVP is offended. They hug but Low Ki attacks and Lashley gets beat down by the group. Ki hits a double stomp to the back and MVP hits him with the belt. As they leave, MVP says the title doesn't belong to Lashley, it belongs to The BDC.
