By: @MikeKillam for Wrestlezone.com
TNA plays an intro package for tonight's Bound for Glory PPV, and we cut to the arena! Taz and Mike Tenay welcome us to the biggest event of the year, and we are live from the Crand Canyon University Arena in Phoenix, AZ!
X-Division Championship
Zema Ion (c) vs. Rob Van Dam
**Due to technical difficulties, the following match results are courtesy of ProWrestling.net:
The live crowd was hot for RVD and was into chanting along with his song. They broke into a loud "RVD" chant before the bell. Van Dam jumped out to a fast start and did the RVD thumb pointing routine without it coming back to haunt him.
Ion came back with a good tornado DDT and followed up by shoving him off the top rope to the floor. Ion performed a wild flip over the top rope and landed on Van Dam. RVD came back by throwing Ion into the air and catching him with a dropkick to the chest on the way down. Cool move. RVD followed up with Rolling Thunder and connected with a Five Star Frogsplash for the clean win…
Rob Van Dam defeated Zema Ion to win the X Division Title in 8:05.
TNA Television Championship
Samoa Joe (c) vs. Magnus
The two former partners lock up in the center of the ring as Magnus backs up the Champion in the corner, but Joe manages to break free of the hold and hit a Pele kick out of nowhere! Magnus brings himself back to his feet, but Joe fires away with quick right hands until referee Brian Hebner broke up the assault. Back to the center of the ring, Magnus takes down Joe with a big running clothesline, before heading back to the corner and delivering his own assault of knee lifts. Off the Irish Whip now, and Magnus leapfrogs over Joe and delivers a big running knee.
Joe finds some momentum and tries to get back into the match, but Magnus scoops him up off the run and plants him with a Falcon Arrow in the center of the ring; two count only. The challenger up to the top rope now, but come down right into an atomic drop from the Samoa Joe, who finishes it off with a big running splash! The Champion with a powerbomb, but rolls Magnus over mid-pinfall into the STF! Magnus starts to break free, but Joe transitions into the Crossface; he does eventually make it to the ropes, and Joe is forced to break the hold.
Both men head up to the top rope now, but Magnus knocks the Champion to the mat by lifting the knee. A big diving elbow finds Joe in the heart, but Magnus only gets two. The challenger is now screaming at his opponent to get back up, but when he does Joe is in a furry and Magnus' strikes aren't having any effect! Joe locks in the chokehold, but Magnus turns it into a jawbreaker and takes the CHamp down with a chop block from behind. Magnus looks to put Joe away with the Figure Four, but Joe takes him to the mat and locks in the Rear Naked Choke! Magnus taps out, and Joe retains the title!
Winner via Submission: Samoa Joe
