Thursday’s episode of TNA “iMPACT” was initially set to feature a grudge match between Joe Hendry and Eric Young, but Young had other plans. A hoss fight involving Moose of The System and AJ Francis of Fir$t Cla$$ did take place as planned. Plus, a high-stakes four-way match for a shot at the TNA X Division Championship took place inside The Armory in Minneapolis.

Moose vs. AJ Francis

Before the match began, Mustafa Ali made his way out with his secret service to join the commentary desk. Moose landed a dropkick early, which caused AJ Francis to leave the ring. Moose approached Ali, and this allowed Francis to send his opponent crashing onto the ring apron.

Moose went for a suplex, but Francis wouldn’t budge. After some strikes, Moose attempted another one, but it was Francis who landed a suplex of his own. Francis then delivered a back suplex. Francis looked for Three Amigos, but Moose shut it down.

Francis went for Tennessee Whiskey, but Moose dragged him outside of the ring. Moose sent Francis crashing into the steps. Francis rebounded with a pop-up powerbomb onto the ring apron. Francis was able to hit Tennessee Whiskey on the second attempt.

Francis went for Down Payment, but he ate a headbutt. Moose scaled the top rope and landed a crossbody. Moose charged in, but Francis pulled the referee in harm’s way. This allowed Francis to land a spear. Francis called on Ali to interfere.
