Rockstar Spud & Mark Andrews vs Tyrus (w/ Ethan Carter III)
Spud and Mark rush Tyrus at the bell, but Tyrus knocks them both down and slams Spud on the mat. He splashes Mark in the corner, then he goes for a powerbomb but Spud kicks him in the face a few times and tries to climb out. Spud turns and hits Tyrus with a front flip legdrop, then Ethan taunts Mark and opens the cage door. Mark tries to kick him but Ethan grabs his legs and slams his head on the cage, then he pulls him outside and slams him on the mat. Spud tries to crawl to the door, but Ethan slams it in his face, and Tyrus slams him down for the win. Ethan tries to plug in some clippers and shave Spud’s head, but Jeremy Borash cuts the clipper cord in half and runs for it.
Winner – Tyrus
BP: Wow Spud, what a move off the top rope. I think people forget how talented he actually is, but that was a beautiful spot off the cage. This match was pretty well booked considering how one sided it was, and Tyrus still looked strong with help.

Winners – Team Angle
BP: Spud’s spot off the cage and the storyline progression itself was the best part of tonight’s show. The Hardys vs Revolution may have been the best match of the night, but overall tonight just felt like a regular episode of Impact. That’s fine (I guess) since it was a regular broadcast, but Lockdown has always been a bigger show and I was left wanting more. TNA has been doing great with the regular shows, but I hope they put a little more effort into the next “special event” which would be Slammiversary.
