X Division Champion Samoa Joe successfully defended the gold against AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels when Joe forced AJ to tap out to the clutch
In typical Philadelphia fashion, the event ended in total chaos! Here is Ross Forman’s account of what went down:
Following the three-way for the X Division Championship, America’s Most Wanted hit the ring and attacked AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels…
AMW then got on the mics and once again issued the open challenge – the lights went out and The James Gang appeared standing in the ring! The James Gang traded insults with AMW until Team 3D appeared on the big screen and joined in on the tirade.
At first, Team 3D said they weren’t in Philly, but after a few minutes, told everyone to look behind them…
Everyone in the arena turned to see Team 3D standing at the entrance to the arena and the place erupted as they made their way to the ring. The match ended up a four-way anything goes brawl with AMW vs. AJ & Daniels vs. The James Gang vs. Team 3D!
During the bout, with everyone fighting on the outside, it was a true “Philly moment” as Brother Ray stood in the middle of the ring and invited a fan to throw in a steel chair for him to use. However, nearly the entire crowd answered as hundreds of steel chairs were showered into the ring by fans!
The bout was apparently thrown out due to the chaos, but the fans didn’t want to leave! TNA stars AJ Styles, The James Gang, Christopher Daniels and Team 3D all thanked the fans for an amazing night in Philadelphia!
Ross Forman will be providing photos Saturday from the event, including shots of the hundreds of steel chairs showering the ring! The Wrestling Maven attended the show taking photo's for our site. They will be posted sometime tomorrow. Both Rhino and Brother Runt (Spike) informed the crowd (sold out) they are staying with TNA and refused WWE's offer to return.... A great night for TNA at the old ECW Arena... |
