Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for April 12, 2016



Matt Hardy, Tyrus, Rockstar Spud and Reby Sky show up. Matt says he has made a name for himself, and that his brother Jeff Hardy is "tarnishing his brand." He calls Jeff out, and Jeff shows up. Jeff says he's proud of the legacy he and Matt have built, and says that Matt has disgraced the name. Matt says Jeff has done nothing to help him, and calls Jeff "selfish" before telling him to get out of his life. Jeff says that Matt is self-destructing, and Matt goes into denial and tells Jeff to change his name, but Jeff says the crowd chants "Hardy" for a reason: all they've done together. Matt says he doesn't care about the fans and says they're irrelevant. Reby Sky butts in and says that Matt is the bigger brand, and that Jeff is afraid to fight his brother as the crowd chants "Jeff is Better." Jeff says the only thing he's afraid of is Reby's "crazy bitch genes being in their family tree." He then says that there is no winner in a match between him and Matt, but tells Matt he's got his match anyway.



Beer Money ("The Cowboy" James Storm and Bobby Roode) retain the TNA World Tag Team Championships against Decay (Abyss and Crazzy Steve), The Bro Mans (Robbie E and Jessie Godderz) and the team of Eric Young and Bram after Young accidentally hits Bram.





Matt Hardy and Tyrus confronts Jeff Hardy. Matt and Jeff's match is happening next week. Matt and Tyrus want Jeff gone for what they cost them, and Matt says he'll beat Jeff so badly he'll make Jeff quit. He decides to make the match an "I Quit Match." Jeff decides to make it interesting by holding a tag team match between the two of them tonight. If Matt wins, he gets his "I Quit" Match. If Jeff wins, it'll be Full Metal Mayhem.



Maria says that Gail Kim got what she deserved...and says she will enter the ring to get what she deserves...

Eddie Edwards is found hurt backstage.

Maria Kanellis shows up and introduces her opponent Jade. Maria then asks for a title shot, saying nobody would know Jade if it wasn't for her. Jade says she earned the Knockouts title, and if she wants the title, she'll have to fight for it. Gail Kim shows up and calls out Maria for not wanting to get her hands dirty, but Maria mocks her. Rebel and Marti Bell shows up and call out Maria on calling the Knockouts Division sheep before focusing their anger on Jade. Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky show up and say that Maria doesn't speak for them. Billy Corgan shows up and makes it clear he's sick and tired of her machinations. He puts Jade in a match against Madison Rayne with the Knockouts title on the line, then sets up a match for next week: all the Knockouts in one ring, with the winner becoming the new leader of the Knockouts Division. Maria then insists she will be the leader next week, then Jade goes for Maria's face only to accidentally punch Madison Rayne, starting a brawl.



Ethan Carter III says that "The Miracle" Mike Bennett wants to make an impact and blame his downfall on him, but tonight, EC3 will make an impact on Bennett.



Gregory Shane Helms and Trevor Lee are in the ring. They say they're ready for Eddie Edwards, but Edwards was found hurt backstage. He says that nobody in the back has the guts to take on Trevor Lee. DJ Z answers that challenge.

DJ Z beats Trevor Lee with an inside cradle. Shane Helms attacks DJ Z after the match, but Eddie Edwards shows up and clears the ring, making the save for DJ Z.



"The Miracle" Mike Bennett says that he's nothing like EC3, and says he doesn't need to evolve because he knows who he is. He says he's been writing EC3's history as of late, and he plans to make the newest chapter the one where he kicks his ass.



Jeff Hardy says it's personal between him and Matt Hardy, and knows he has to win tonight to even the odds next week in his favor. He's picked Drew Galloway as his tag team partner.



"The Miracle" Mike Bennett beats Ethan Carter III by disqualification after EC3 hits Bennett with a steel chair that Bennett brought in, which he takes from Maria's hands when she tries to distract the referee. He smashes the chair into Bennett's back multiple times before heading to the back.



Al Snow announces he will be making his public apology tonight.

Al Snow is in the ring to apologize to Grado and Mahabali Shera. He asks Shera to come to the ring, and Shera almost clobbers him before Snow tells him to give him a chance to explain himself. Snow is upset that wrestling that changed and that he's been told that wrestling has passed him by, and that wrestling has changed as he comes from an era where somebody couldn't just waltz into a company whenever they wanted. Snow chalks up his actions to jealousy, and wants to do what he can for Shera and Grado. Shera accepts his apology after Snow says that Shera has his word, but as they leave, Snow brutally attacks Shera from behind and then leaves.



Tyrus asks Drew Galloway if he knows what he's doing. Drew says he knows. Tyrus reminds Drew that he still has a title shot he can cash in anytime he wants after he suggests to Drew that he get a bodyguard.

Al Snow says he doesn't have to explain his attack on Mahabali Shera, and says that guys like Grado shouldn't be able to waltz in whenever they want.



Jade retains the TNA Knockouts Championship against Madison Rayne.

Next week: Eddie Edwards vs. DJ Z vs. Trevor Lee for the X Division Championship!



Matt Hardy and Tyrus beat Jeff Hardy and Drew Galloway after Matt hits Jeff with a hammer given to him by Reby Sky. Next week's match between Jeff and Matt will be an I Quit Match. After the match, Drew and Jeff are attacked by Lashley, who then hits Drew with a Spear before he fakes leaving, hits Drew with a Spear again, and then holds the TNA World Heavyweight Championship up in the air.
