NWA-TNA's Premiere in front of 1,656 fans at the TNA Asylum

Joey Matthews and Christian York defeated CM Punk and Julio Dinero in 7:36 with an Implant DDT from York. (C+)
These two teams didn't mesh all that much, and it was Julio vs. Matthews most of the match. Punk carried York and the rest to a subpar match that ended with Dinero getting planted with an Implant DDT.

All you can do is be ready (C-)
Low-Ki talks about his upcoming match with AJ Styles, and tells Styles that when the time comes, all he can do is be ready.

TNA X-Division Title:
AJ Styles defeated Low-Ki in 18:55 with a Styles Clash. (B+)
A great follow-up to an opener. These guys put on a clinic for what American-based wrestling should be. The crowd was behind Low-Ki for the most part, and Ki nearly took the belt with a Double Stomp. But Styles fought back and hit his signature move, the Styles Clash, for the victory.

What about me? WHAT ABOUT RAVEN?! (B-)
Raven talks a bit about the 3-Way main event, and what he'll do if he loses. He says the WWE didn't give a damn about him, and they mistreated him. He ended the interview with that infamous line, "What about me? What about Raven?!"

King Joe defeated Amazing Red in 5:31 with a Chimeraplex (C-)
Joe and Red don't really mesh at all, mainly due to Joe being the mammoth that he is. Joe proved he can stomp a junior like Red, making it 5 minutes of Red without offense. Joe hit a devestating Chimeraplex for the win.

A Dream Match:
A graphic shows Elix Skipper teaming with Christopher Daniels to face AJ Styles and Low-Ki next week on NWA-TNA.

Shark Boy defeated Mike Sanders in 6:23 with a Deep Sea Drop. (C+)
This match was okay, but the crowd really dumped on it. Shark Boy's not all that great, and Sanders had to really make him look good. This attempt failed, because Sanders jobbed to Sharky after a Deep Sea Drop.

Up Next..
A graphic shows Bryan Danielson teaming with Christopher Daniels to take on America's Most Wanted

Bryan Danielson and Christopher Daniels defeated James Storm and Chris Harris in 26:03 with a Regalplex from Danielson. (B+)
An absolutely awesome tag match from these relative unknowns. Dragon and Daniels, being ROH regulars, proved that they can put on a clinic with pretty much anyone, and AMW shows that they're not slouches either. Dragon hit a Regalplex on Storm for the win.

Our Main Event...
A graphic shows that up next we'll see Ken Shamrock defend the NWA Title against Raven and Jeff Jarrett

NWA World Heavyweight Title 3-Way Dance:
Raven defeated Ken Shamrock and Jeff Jarrett in 32:46 with a Raven Effect DDT following interference from King Joe(C-)
Raven pulls out a sub-par title match, and it coincidentally is the one where he wins the belt. Shamrock was in control an absurd amount throughout this contest, and looked as though he was going to take it all. This changed when Jarrett hit a Stroke. But the ref was out, and King Joe interfered, hitting Jarrett with a devestating Chimeraplex, and Raven follows up with a Raven Effect for the win.

Celebration (D)
Joe and Raven celebrate in the middle of the ring.
