Drew Galloway’s part of the show is up next as he proclaims that his fighting side-by-side with Eli Drake was nothing but a farce. He points out his selfishness, his jealousy, and the fact that he cost Drew the TNA World Title. He exclaims that, “I stand up…to see you fall.”
Commercial
Drew Galloway vs. Eli Drake
We return from commercial to see Drew coming out to a roaring ovation from the iMPACT crowd! Eli Drake comes out next, talking trash all the way down the rampway with his shirt that formerly said, “Stand Up” now says “Sit Down”. Galloway doesn’t even let Drake in the ring, attacking him on the steps. Drew picks him up high and drops him neck first on the security railing. Drake comes back with a knee to the gut, setting up for a Piledriver that Galloway Back Drops out of. Big-time chops from Drew on the outside as fans are allowed to hold Drake back while Drew chops away! Talk about fan interaction!!
Big boot from the much taller Drew followed by a Body Slam on the edge of the apron. Drake rolls in the ring and Drew follows with the bell finally ringing, signifying the official beginning to the match. Eli begins to run from Drew, but Galloway catches up to him at the rampway and drags him back to the ring unwilling. Drake is able to get the higher ground and send Drew shoulder-first into the ring post and mount him for some serious punches to the face. Eli has the clear advantage at this point, but is blatantly choking Drew…forcing referee Earl Hebner to threaten a DQ. Drew begins fighting back, but cannot capitalize as Eli brings him down head first. Very few false finishes and pinfall attempts tonight in all matches, something I feel is required. Drew fights back with a few clotheslines and a wild-looking Release German Suplex into the turnbuckle on Eli Drake.
Drew runs into the ropes for his Roderick Strong-like Sick Kick finish, but Drake leans out of the ropes for protection. Eli then distracts Drew long enough to roll him up, and get the tainted win by holding the tights.
Winner – Eli Drake
