Preview for Thursday's iMPACT!:
TNA is advertising four matches for tonight's episode of Impact: an "extreme" tag match, a street fight, an Ultimate X match, and a TV Title defense.
The "extreme" tag match will feature TNA World Hvt. champion Rob Van Dam & Tommy Dreamer vs. Abyss & Raven. TNA is setting up Dreamer vs. Raven for the Hardcore Justice PPV and RVD vs. Abyss for the "Whole F'n Show" Impact special on August 12.
The street fight will be Ric Flair vs. Jay Lethal in a re-match from the Victory Road PPV.
The Ultimate X match will be Match 4 in the Best-of-Five series between TNA tag champions Motor City Machineguns and Beer Money. The tag titles will be on the line tonight, as Beer Money leads the series 2-1. TNA has already announced that a fifth match would take place on the Aug. 12 Impact special.
The TV Title defense will be new TNA Television champion A.J. Styles defending against Rob Terry. Terry previously held the title in the form of the Global Title before Styles was, in the context of the storyline, apparently granted special privileges to re-name the title.
Overall, TNA will be completing the build-up to the Hardcore Justice PPV on Sunday. TNA has not made any matches official yet for the PPV, but they have set up Dreamer vs. Raven and will be announcing RVD vs. Jerry Lynn.
