Sheamus says that he sat back and watched as the Nexus attacked different people with a smile on his face because he was sure he, but last week on RAW, he realized the Nexus was a threat to everybody. He says he helped protect Cena because he wants to beat Cena without any excuses for the loss.
Eve vs. Alicia Fox is up next.
My Prediction: As much as I’d like to see Eve pick up the win, I’m predicting Alicia to retain.
Alicia and Eve lock up and Alicia overpowers Eve. Eve fights back and tosses Alicia off. Eve gets a side headlock and Alicia sends her off, but Eve hits her with a shoulder block and covers for 1.

Eve goes to the second rope and tries for a senton bomb off the ropes, but Alicia gets her knees up and Eve lands on the knees. Alicia hits her axe kick and covers for 3.
Move of the Match: Honestly, I’d have to give this either to Eve’s big kick, or Alicia’s Backbreaker hold from early on.
2 for 2

Abyss is in the back with his “girl.” He again says “they” are coming. Abyss says the pattern of destruction will continue tonight as he wins the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
Matt Morgan vs. Hernandez is next.
My Prediction: Look for Morgan to pull out all the stops, but also look for Hernandez to overcome the odds and gain the victory.

Morgan goes after Hernandez in the corner, but Hernandez moves and proceeds to pick up Morgan and drop him across the top rope. Morgan goes up top and dropkicks Morgan into the side of the cage.

He whips him into the other corner, but Hernandez comes out with a huge clothesline. He hits a running splash into the corner and another clothesline. Morgan goes for the Carbon Footprint, but gets caught with a shoulder block. Hernandez looks for the Border Toss, but Morgan flails and Hernandez can’t keep Morgan on his shoulder. Morgan hits a short arm clothesline and rakes his shoe across Hernandez’s head. Hernandez avoids the splash in the corner and goes for the Border Toss again. Once again, he can’t maintain the hold, but this time he drops Morgan into a powerbomb type move. Hernandez goes up top and goes for a diving splash from the top, but Morgan moves. Morgan grabs a pair of handcuffs from ringside. Morgan handcuffs Hernandez to the top rope and starts to climb up top. Morgan stops at the top to taunt the crowd again. Hernandez breaks the handcuffs and hits the big man dive through the door and lands on the ramp to win the match.
Move of the Match: I think this has to go either to the drop kick from Hernandez early on simply because it was something you wouldn’t really expect from Hernandez or to the gutwrench powerbomb type move used when Hernandez couldn’t properly hit the Border toss on Morgan.
3 for 5
In the back, Flair says that Lethal has made a bad career move. He says Ric Flair is the reason there is a sport called pro wrestling and when he and Lethal face off, Lethal will be standing in the ring saying, “O my God, what have I done?”

5 for 7
Up next we see “The Pope” D’Angelo Dinero taking on Kurt Angle.

Rob Van Dam tells Christy Hemme that if Abyss tries to use his weapon, RVD will get a hold of it and put it where the “sun don’t shine.” He says all he’s worried about tonight is remaining champion.
It’s time for the Main Event.
My Prediction: I see RVD picking up in the win and proving that just because a fatal four way match doesn’t favor the champion, he still has a chance to retain his title.

After the match, Abyss attacks RVD. He gets his weapon and chases off the referee. Abyss swings, but RVD moves. The weapon hits the mat and rips up the canvas. RVD and Abyss stare down to end the pay-per-view.

Brother Ray comes out and hides on the side of the stage. Neal comes out and Ray jumps him on the ramp. Ray looks to continue the attack when Devon’s music hits. He continues the attack on Neal while Devon doesn’t come out. We see that someone has used a board to lock Devon in his locker room. Ray goes after Neal, but Neal begins to fight back. Ray hits Neal with a big clothesline. He hits a pair off cross face blows on Neal and follows up with a big elbow drop. Ray continues the attack with a series of slaps.

Shannon Moore comes out and the referee stops him from interfering while Ray hits Neal with the chair. 3D’s music hits again and Devon comes down the ramp. Devon and Ray stare down. They both turn to stare at Neal like they’re about to attack him, but then begin to fight each other. Neal goes for a spear on Ray, but Ray moves and he hits Devon instead. Ray catches Neal with the Bubba Bomb and covers for the 3 count.
Move of the Match: I think this has to go to the Bubba Bomb.

The referee calls for the DQ and orders the Championship be given to Angelina Love.
Move of the Match: I have to give this to the Botox Injection into the chair.
After the match Madison argues with the referee and then joins the woman on the motorcycle and they ride out of the Impact Zone.

My Prediction: It’s hard to say for sure what the outcome of this match will be, but I expect A.J. and Kaz to find a way to work together and pick up the win.

Abyss is in the back with his “girl.” He again says “they” are coming. Abyss says the pattern of destruction will continue tonight as he wins the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
Matt Morgan vs. Hernandez is next.
My Prediction: Look for Morgan to pull out all the stops, but also look for Hernandez to overcome the odds and gain the victory.
Morgan tries to escape the cage immediately, but Hernandez grabs him and sends him into the sides of the cage. Morgan goes after Hernandez in the corner, but Hernandez moves and proceeds to pick up Morgan and drop him across the top rope. Morgan goes up top and dropkicks Morgan into the side of the cage.

He whips him into the other corner, but Hernandez comes out with a huge clothesline. He hits a running splash into the corner and another clothesline. Morgan goes for the Carbon Footprint, but gets caught with a shoulder block. Hernandez looks for the Border Toss, but Morgan flails and Hernandez can’t keep Morgan on his shoulder. Morgan hits a short arm clothesline and rakes his shoe across Hernandez’s head. Hernandez avoids the splash in the corner and goes for the Border Toss again. Once again, he can’t maintain the hold, but this time he drops Morgan into a powerbomb type move. Hernandez goes up top and goes for a diving splash from the top, but Morgan moves. Morgan grabs a pair of handcuffs from ringside. Morgan handcuffs Hernandez to the top rope and starts to climb up top. Morgan stops at the top to taunt the crowd again. Hernandez breaks the handcuffs and hits the big man dive through the door and lands on the ramp to win the match.
Move of the Match: I think this has to go either to the drop kick from Hernandez early on simply because it was something you wouldn’t really expect from Hernandez or to the gutwrench powerbomb type move used when Hernandez couldn’t properly hit the Border toss on Morgan.
3 for 5
In the back, Flair says that Lethal has made a bad career move. He says Ric Flair is the reason there is a sport called pro wrestling and when he and Lethal face off, Lethal will be standing in the ring saying, “O my God, what have I done?”
Ric Flair vs. Jay Lethal is next.
My Prediction: This is in some ways hard to predict. I fully expect this to be a tough match, but I also expect that Lethal will pick up the win in the end.

5 for 7
Up next we see “The Pope” D’Angelo Dinero taking on Kurt Angle.
My Prediction: As much as I like the Pope, with Angle saying he will leave if he loses, he’s pretty much guaranteed to pick up the win in this match.

Rob Van Dam tells Christy Hemme that if Abyss tries to use his weapon, RVD will get a hold of it and put it where the “sun don’t shine.” He says all he’s worried about tonight is remaining champion.
It’s time for the Main Event.
My Prediction: I see RVD picking up in the win and proving that just because a fatal four way match doesn’t favor the champion, he still has a chance to retain his title.
JB introduces Mr. Anderson, Abyss, Jeff Hardy and RVD and after the announcement, the referee shows the title and signals for the match to start.

After the match, Abyss attacks RVD. He gets his weapon and chases off the referee. Abyss swings, but RVD moves. The weapon hits the mat and rips up the canvas. RVD and Abyss stare down to end the pay-per-view.

Victory Road Predictions
Feeling lazy again and I didn’t review SmackDown. I’m helping with a lock-in at my church tonight, so I’m not sure how soon I’ll get to watch Victory Road, but I’ll get the review posted as soon as I’ve watched it. Time for predictions.
Douglas Williams vs. Brian Kendrick: X-Division Championship (Ultimate X/Submission Match)
What I want to happen: Kendrick Shows Williams that while his mat wrestling style is impressive, it’s not necessarily better than the high flying style.
My Prediction: Ultimate X definitely favors Kendrick’s traditional high flying style. Kendrick has also shown in recent weeks that he has an impressive submission hold in his arsenal. I don’t know whether it will end by retrieving the belt or through submission, but I expect Kendrick to pick up the win in this match.
Motor City Machine Guns vs. Beer Money, Inc.: TNA World Tag Team Championship
What I want to happen: I’d like to see the Guns pick up a victory in this match.
My Prediction: The Guns have never held the TNA World Tag Team Championship, and I really think Beer Money has become convinced that the Guns aren’t a threat to them. I fully expect the Guns to pick up the win (and their first reign as TNA Tag Champs) in this match.
Matt Morgan vs. Hernandez (Steel Cage Match)
What I want to happen: I would like to see Hernandez get revenge for everything Morgan has done to him over the past few months.
My Prediction: Hernandez picks up the win, but it’s not going to be an easy match. Look for Morgan to pull out all the stops, but also look for Hernandez to overcome the odds and gain the victory.
Ric Flair vs. Jay Lethal
What I want to happen: I’d like to see Lethal pick up the win.
My Prediction: This is in some ways hard to predict. I fully expect this to be a tough match, but I also expect that Lethal will pick up the win in the end. The only real question is whether Lethal gains a clean victory over Flair or picks up a DQ victory due to Flair’s tactics or outside interference.
Madison Rayne vs. Angelina Love: TNA Knockouts Championship (Title vs. Career)
What I want to happen: I want Angelina to pick up the win and her 4th Knockouts Championship reign.
My Prediction: At this point, with all that’s been placed on this match, Angelina is pretty much guaranteed to take home the title. The real question here is whether it will be by victory or because Velvet or Lacey interferes. I honestly see her picking up the pinfall victory in this match.
Brother Devon vs. Brother Ray vs. Jesse Neal
What I want to happen: I’d really like to see Jesse Neal pick up the win in this match to solidify him as a big performer.
My Prediction: Brother Ray is at a disadvantage in this match. Eventually it will likely come down to true triple threat rules, but as it starts, I’d expect it to be Brother Devon and Jesse Neal teaming up against Ray. In the end, this match is hard to predict, but for some reason I see Devon picking up the win.
A.J. Styles and Kazarian vs. TBA
What I want to happen: As I don’t know who A.J. and Kaz will be facing, it’s hard to determine who I’d like to win. I honestly like A.J. and Kaz being paired up as a team because I think they could do really well, but depending on whom their opponents are revealed to be, I can’t say for sure that I definitely want A.J. and Kaz to win.
My Prediction: As I already said, I think A.J. and Kaz are a good pairing. It’s hard to say for sure what the outcome of this match will be, but I expect A.J. and Kaz to find a way to work together and pick up the win.
Kurt Angle vs. D’Angelo Dinero
What I want to happen: I’m honestly a big fan of both Angle and the Pope. Despite this, it’s not hard to pick sides in this one as Angle has said that if he loses he will leave TNA.
My Prediction: This match is easy to predict. As much as I like the Pope, with Angle saying he will leave if he loses, he’s pretty much guaranteed to pick up the win in this match.
Rob Van Dam vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Mr. Anderson vs. Abyss: TNA World Heavyweight Championship
What I want to happen: It really doesn’t matter to me too much who picks up the win. Despite his recent behavior, I wouldn’t even mind Abyss winning as I think another title reign for the “Monster” could be great, especially with his current aggressiveness. As far as I’m concerned, whoever wins has the capability to be a great champion.
My Prediction: I see RVD picking up in the win and proving that just because a fatal four way match doesn’t favor the champion, he still has a chance to retain his title.
Douglas Williams vs. Brian Kendrick: X-Division Championship (Ultimate X/Submission Match)
What I want to happen: Kendrick Shows Williams that while his mat wrestling style is impressive, it’s not necessarily better than the high flying style.
My Prediction: Ultimate X definitely favors Kendrick’s traditional high flying style. Kendrick has also shown in recent weeks that he has an impressive submission hold in his arsenal.

My Prediction: At this point, with all that’s been placed on this match, Angelina is pretty much guaranteed to take home the title. The real question here is whether it will be by victory or because Velvet or Lacey interferes. I honestly see her picking up the pinfall victory in this match.
Brother Devon vs. Brother Ray vs. Jesse Neal

My Prediction: Brother Ray is at a disadvantage in this match. Eventually it will likely come down to true triple threat rules, but as it starts, I’d expect it to be Brother Devon and Jesse Neal teaming up against Ray. In the end, this match is hard to predict, but for some reason I see Devon picking up the win.
A.J. Styles and Kazarian vs. TBA

My Prediction: This match is easy to predict. As much as I like the Pope, with Angle saying he will leave if he loses, he’s pretty much guaranteed to pick up the win in this match.
Rob Van Dam vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Mr. Anderson vs. Abyss: TNA World Heavyweight Championship
What I want to happen: It really doesn’t matter to me too much who picks up the win. Despite his recent behavior, I wouldn’t even mind Abyss winning as I think another title reign for the “Monster” could be great, especially with his current aggressiveness. As far as I’m concerned, whoever wins has the capability to be a great champion.
My Prediction: I see RVD picking up in the win and proving that just because a fatal four way match doesn’t favor the champion, he still has a chance to retain his title.
