Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for February 9, 2016

Matt Hardy shows up with Reby Sky and Tyrus. He's here to bring good business to TNA, and bashes the fans. Tyrus says Ethan Carter III won't be here, as EC3 couldn't do anything without him and is nothing without him. After Reby Sky puts Matt Hardy on a pedestal, Matt Hardy says he did not break one single rule in the Last Man Standing match when he beat EC3 for the World Heavyweight Championship, then says Dixie Carter hasn't spoken word one to him. He refuses to leave the arena until Dixie speaks to him, and demands that she also fires EC3.

Dixie Carter arrives...

Lashley beats Bram after Eric Young accidentally hits Bram with the King of the Mountain title.

Reby Sky tells Matt Hardy that Dixie Carter is a pushover, while Tyrus says that Ethan Carter III won't show up, and if he does, security will toss him out.

Kurt Angle shows up. Angle admits that the fans make it difficult to say farewell, yet here he is. He thanks the fans for their support during the last ten years he's been in TNA, and as he mentions his match for tonight, Maria Kanellis shows up and says his emotion is manufactured, and that TNA needs "The Miracle" Michael Bennett. Bennet shows up and enters the ring with Maria. Bennett admits Angle has had one hell of a career, and says he idolized and studied him as a kid, in the hopes of one day beating him when he grew up. Angle tells him to step back, and says that everything Angle has done is nearly untouchable, but says he is the miracle he can do it. Angle tells Maria she's beautiful, but she's going to need a miracle, then beats up Bennett. He says he doesn't wrestle people who don't have respect, and says his opponent tonight does. That opponent is Drew Galloway.

Beer Money ("The Cowboy" James Storm and Bobby Roode) enter the building. They approach a door with "Beer Money" on it. Inside is the Boozer Cruiser. Roode's plan tonight is to cash in their shot at the TNA World Tag Team Championships.

Trevor Lee retains the TNA X Division Championship after the distraction from Gregory Shame Helms.

Beer Money ("The Cowboy" James Storm and Bobby Roode) show up. They tell The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) to come on in and cash in the tag team titles, but instead they get The Decay (Rosemary, Abyss, Crazzy Steve). Rosemary says the tag titles are pretty, but everything pretty eventually rots and dies in their world. Roode knows he and Storm aren't going to get everything they want right now, but since they have a ref, they might as well have a fight. Roode and Storm charge the ramp and fight Decay. This starts a match.

Beer Money ("The Cowboy" James Storm and Bobby Roode) vs. Decay (Crazzy Steve and Abyss) ends when Abyss pulls the ref out of the ring after Beer Money hit the DWI on Crazzy Steve. Abyss then chokes the ref, and Beer Money take down The Decay. Rosemary, however, distracts Roode, allowing Crazzy Steve to hit a low blow on Roode and also hit Storm with one of the tag team titles. Abyss pulls out Janice from underneath the ring, and he and Abyss are about to finish them off when The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) rush in with steel chairs, forcing The Decay to back down and leave the ring. Richards then says that The Wolves want the tag team titles back, and offers them a shot at the tag team titles as part of their plan to do it. Abyss accepts on The Decay's behalf for next week...and it'll be a Monster's Ball match.

Reby Sky meets with Dixie Carter backstage, wanting to talk one-on-one. Reby admits that Matt Hardy is a proud man, and tells Dixie that she and Matt want what's best for their family.

The recently fired Grado shows up, jumping the barricade, entering the ring and getting on the mic, claiming that he was screwed out of his job in TNA and that he has proof. Eli Drake shows up with security guards. He sics them on Grado, and Grado gives chase. Eli Drake tries to get Grado from behind, but Grado gets away and makes a run for it backstage.

Drew Galloway says he plans to beat Kurt Angle where it all began for him in TNA...tonight..

Drew Galloway beat Kurt Angle with the Crossface, after hitting him with three Claymores and making him bleed from his mouth.

Matt Hardy, Reby Sky and Tyrus are back in the ring. Matt Hardy demands Dixie Carter speak to him face-to-face. Dixie Carter shows up, and Matt Hardy blames Ethan Carter III for his own recent behavior, saying the injunction caused it all and that EC3 ruined business for TNA. He then demands Carter fire EC3 right now. When Matt Hardy goes into jerk mode, Rockstar Spud shows up, and while he agrees that Ethan Carter III did terrible things, he refuses to allow Hardy to treat Dixie Carter like dirt. Tyrus hits Spud with a cheap shot, then Matt Hardy goes back to being a jerk to Dixie, but EC3 shows up and takes down both Hardy's security and Tyrus before getting in the ring. Hardy retreats, then EC3 leaves.
