On the undercard, Drew Galloway defeated Low Ki in a Pipe on a Pole match, Taryn Terrell retained the Knockouts Championship against Brooke, while Kenny King won the X Division Championship by defeating defending champion Rockstar Spud, Tigre Uno and Mandrews in a four-way ladder match and The Hardys (Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy) and Davey Richards defeated The Revolution (Abyss, Manik and Khoya) in a street fight.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Event

Preliminary matches

The event kicked off with a street fight pitting The Hardys (Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy) and Davey Richards against The Revolution (Abyss, Manik and Khoya). Abyss crotched himself on a chair, allowing Jeff to nail him with a Twist of Fate and a Swanton Bomb for the win.

After the match, Mr. Anderson confronted Ethan Carter III and Tyrus and challenged EC3 to a match on the May 8 episode of Impact Wrestling with the match stipulation be voted by the fans.

Next, Rockstar Spud defended the X Division Championship against Kenny King, Tigre Uno and Mandrews in a four-way ladder match. Homicide interfered in the match as King was trying to retrieve the belt by climbing the ladder but Spud bit King's hand and Homicide broke it and threw Spud down, allowing King to retrieve the belt and win the X Division Championship.

Later, Taryn Terrell defended the Knockouts Championship against Brooke. The Dollhouse pulled Terrell out of the ring as Brooke attempted to hit a Butterface Maker and then Brooke delivered a plancha to Jade and Marti Bell. Brooke then returned to the ring where Bell distracted her, allowing Jade to push her off the top rope and Terrell nailed a Taryn Cutter to Brooke for the win to retain the title.

The penultimate match was a Pipe on a Pole match between Drew Galloway and Low Ki. Galloway avoided a Warrior's Way by Ki and hit him with a pipe and then hit a Future Shock to Ki for the win. A brawl occurred between The Beat Down Clan and The Rising.

Main event match

The main event was a stretcher match between Kurt Angle and Eric Young. Young attempted to nail a piledriver on Angle but Angle countered that into an ankle lock and Young tossed him into the turnbuckle and hit two piledrivers and then strapped him to the stretcher for the win.
