Spike TV will telecast a special Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling “iMPACT!” event on Thursday, August 12 at 9:00pm ET/PT featuring the biggest names in TNA, including TNA World Heavyweight Champion Rob Van Dam, Abyss, Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle, “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles, “The Charismatic Enigma” Jeff Hardy and many more.

The special “TNA Thursday Night iMPACT!” features a lineup of matches originally slated for the “Hard Justice” pay-per-view event on August 8. The card was moved to Spike TV after TNA President Dixie Carter and “The Extreme Original” Tommy Dreamer announced a one-night-only “HardCORE Justice” pay-per-view event to celebrate the superstars who created hardcore wrestling.

“The change to ‘HardCORE Justice’ provided TNA with the opportunity to take the original August pay-per-view card and move it to Spike TV. This will allow TNA fans a pay-per-view type experience on “TNA iMPACT!”. If you’ve never seen a TNA pay-per-view event before, this is your chance to see what you’ve been missing,” TNA President Dixie Carter said.

The special August 12 edition of “TNA iMPACT” will be two hours of nonstop wrestling, featuring only matches originally slated for pay-per-view. Pop culture icon and TNA Wrestling superstar Hulk Hogan will oversee the special “iMPACT!,” which includes two world title matches as well as a possible fifth and final installment of a best-of-five-match series between the top tag-teams in wrestling, Beer Money and Motor City Machine Guns.

TNA Knockouts Champion Angelina Love & Taylor Wilde vs Madison Rayne & Sarita

Before the match, referee Earl Hebner tells Angelina that the board has no proof of who was on the motorcycle at Victory Road, so she must surrender the Knockouts Title and return it to Madison Rayne. Angelina hesitantly hands the belt to Hebner, then goes after Madison as Taylor goes to work on Sarita. Sarita gets tossed to the floor as Angelina and Taylor hit a double clothesline on Madison. Sarita gets back in and gets speared by Angelina, who then tags in Taylor, but Sarita gets an STO on Taylor. Taylor regains her feet and now she and Sarita go toe to toe, but Sarita with a big flapjack suplex on Taylor, but she tags Angelina right in and she goes to work on both Sarita and Madison. Taylor comes back in and all four girls fight it out again, with Taylor and Sarita rolling out to the floor as Angelina hits a Flatliner on Madison for the win.

Winners: Angelina Love & Taylor Wilde

Suddenly, the Bike Girl With The Dumpy Ass zooms down to ringside and makes her way towards the ring. Lacey and Velvet come out from the back looking shocked as Madison and Sarita jump Angelina and Taylor from behind and joins in the beatdown. Madison grabs her belt back as Dumpy Ass gets back on her bike and Madison & Sarita join her. Madison yells at Lacey to come with them and, after much hesitation, Lacey leaves Velvet and heads away with Madison, Sarita, and Dumpy Ass. Velvet looks shocked, then she and Angelina glare at each other as we go to commercial.

Title vs. Career Match for the TNA Knockout Women’s Championship
- Madison Rayne (c) vs. Angelina Love

We get a video package detailing the history between these two women, and Madison’s recent streak of retiring other Knockouts. Angelina Love is the first woman out to the ring, to a load of love from the Impact Zone. Madison Rayne is out next to a bit less love, but not a significant amount of heat or anything.

The start:

Both go to lock up, but trade kicks and blows instead. Love gets the better of Rayne with a couple of tugs to the hair and a big spear. Rayne rolls to the outside and runs away from Love, but ends up eating a clothesline despite her best efforts. Rayne is rolled back into the ring and Love goes for the cover, getting a near fall.

Mid-match notes:

Love hits another spear and goes right for another cover, good for another two. Love gets Rayne in position for a fall away slam, but Rayne rakes her eyes to prevent it. Rayne chokes at Love in the corner before running her across the ring and slamming her head first into the top turnbuckle. Rayne hits a neckbreaker and goes for a pin that’s good for two.

Rayne hits the scissor stomp, and she goes for another neckbreaker, but Love counters with a short arm clothesline. Love hits a jawbreaker, and ducks a clothesline before delivering a flying lariat of her own, and a big spin kick, but Madison is able to put Love to the mat. Rayne goes to the outside and grabs a chair, but when she brings it back into the ring, Love hits a big bicycle kick, sending the chair into Rayne’s face. Someone rides into the Impact Zone on a motorcycle, covered in black leather wearing a helmet. Love is distracted and Rayne tosses her to the outside. The costumed woman sends Love head first into the ring post. The ref calls for the bell.

The finish:

The ref rules that because of outside interference by the Beautiful People, Rayne is DQ’ed, and she loses the title to Angelina.

Winner & NEW TNA Knockouts Champion: Angelina Love
