12/12 Impact Spoilers

[Brad]

December 12th IMPACT Wrestling
-The show opens with Bobby Roode vs AJ Styles in a Sudden Death Match for the World Heavyweight Title. It went the full length of its 5 minutes. Sting came out and gave them another 5 minutes. Roode won with a Single Leg Crab.

-In a Wild Card Tag Team Tournament Match, Abyss and Scott Steiner defeated Rob Terry and Hernandez to advance.

-We get an in-ring promo involving Kurt Angle. Angle calls out Sting and demands another match with James Storm. He threatens to go to Storm's house if he isn't given a rematch. Sting declines which ends the segment.

-Zema Ion defeated Anthony Nese with the 450 Splash.

-Gunner fought Jesse Neal to a No Contest. The match was thrown out after Gunner attacked the referee. After the match, Gunner hit his Piledriver on the concrete on Jesse Neal. Neal was stretchered out. This might be the end of Neal in TNA for now!

-We get another promo this time involving Jeff Hardy. Hardy talks up his match with Jarrett this past Sunday then talks about facing Bobby Roode at Genesis. Bully Ray interrupts and the two exchange words. Bully Ray will face Jeff Hardy tonight.

-Madison Rayne defeated Traci.

-In another Wildcard Tournament Match, Samoa Joe and Magnus defeated Douglas Williams and Robbie E to advance.

-Devon and Pope are in the ring for a promo and are joined by Devon's kids. Devon talks about wanting the end this thing with the Pope. Things break down and Devon attacks Pope before Pope takes out Devon with a cheap shot. The Pope leaves with Devon's kids as they are now allied.

-Jeff Hardy defeated Bully Ray. After the match Bobby Roode attacked Hardy. Sting came out to stop things and went after Roode but Roode and Bully Ray ambushed him. This ended the segment.

Xplosion
-Christopher Daniels defeated Devon to advance in the Maximum Impact Tournament.

-Samoa Joe defeated Kazarian to advance in the Maximum Impact Tournament. It looks to be Joe vs Daniels in the finals of the Tournament.

Idk what this wildcard tournament matches is all about but at least Magnus, Williams, and Joe got on TV. Also it is good to see them using more X-Division talents and hopefully they will keep using Zema Ion and Anthony Nese.

Wasn't a Jarrett supposed to get fired this week?

Might be a backstage segment or something.

The last time TNA did this "Wild Card" tournament, it was a disaster. This got people on TV we haven't seen in recent weeks but I just don't have confidence this will play out well...and what's with Magnus teaming with Joe when British Invasion haven't been used in months. Again, I'm looking more fowards to that match on Xplosion than Impact.
