Victory Road on paper got some decent matches, but the results can be a tad bit obvious, but as some might say, anything can happen.
* WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH:
Jeff Hardy vs. Sting ©
I do not think there is a way for TNA to justify Hardy getting the title back. It is pretty obvious to me that Sting will retain, but I wonder what will happen next for Hardy. I guess we will have to find out. Perhaps a face turn against Immortal?
Winner:
Sting.
* #1 CONTENDERS MATCH:
Mr. Anderson vs. Rob Van Dam
It only looks like TNA can turn a guy like Anderson heel a week before a PPV match, since this week on Impact, Anderson attacked Sting, and from that it would look like TNA will build Anderson as a heel going against Sting while leaving RVD maybe to go against Hardy without any title parts to it. But as TNA ended, I can see a way for TNA to bring Sting against RVD as an “honorary” and “respected” angle for their feud leading forward.
Winner:
Ken Anderson.
* Matt Hardy vs. AJ Styles
This is the strange match out of them all, despite the fact that Hardy and Styles clashed (no pun intended) on Impact and gave Ric Flair the win in the three way match, I would assume Styles will pick up the win to continue the feud with Ric Flair. As TNA usually are, it could end in a very awful way booking wise and leave the result just as an official thing and give Styles the win, but Flair and Hardy attack him afterwards.
Winner:
AJ Styles.
* FIRST BLOOD MATCH:
Hernandez vs. Matt Morgan
The shift between Morgan being face and Hernandez being heel kinnda makes this match unpredictable with its result, the same odd thing happens in WWE right now with Orton and Punk since Orton “punted” Punk when Orton was a big heel. On another note, Hernandez got some heat a few weeks ago with botching his finisher on Douglas Williams and I think if anything, this is the reason Morgan will get the victory, just to punish Hernandez.
Winner:
Matt Morgan.
* ULTIMATE X MATCH FOR THE X TITLE:
Jeremy Buck vs. Max Buck vs. Kazarian © vs. Robbie E
Coming from this week's Impact, it looks like TNA might split Max and Jeremy, and in that case, it will almost looks like the feud between Kazarian and Robbie E will continue, but start a new feud between the two “brothers”. While it may be possible to give Robbie E the title and to really confirm the continuation of the feud, the most likely thing is to retain Kaz and give Fortune the momentum as a group and their titles.
Winner:
Kazarian.
* TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:
Ink Inc vs. Beer Money ©
I seriously doubt that Beer Money will drop the titles any time soon, especially to a very lackluster tag team like Ink Inc, on top of the fact that this match is a face vs face type of deal regarding the “vibe” of the match, I really cannot understand why Shannon Moore and Jessy Neal are still together, sure, their “characters” can be similar, but it just does not work, especially now.
Winners:
Beer Money.
CHALLENGE MATCH
* Bully Ray vs. Tommy Dreamer
Tommy Dreamer's track record in TNA is really weird, I do not think he ever won a one on one match on TNA since he debuted, and since it looks like the feud between Bully Ray and Devon will continue, I would say that Ray will pick up the win to get the momentum for his heel character.
Winner:
Bully Ray.
* KNOCKOUTS TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:
Sarita & Rosita vs. Angelina Love & Winter ©
Since I'm not really following the scene, it is hard for me to really say the result, but since I do think Sarita just debuted in TNA, I guess they will want to give a new talent the title.
Winners:
Sarita and Rosite.
