Thereafter, Joe charged Dutt with a knee into the corner twice. Joe then had Dutt down in the corner, but Christopher Daniels tagged himself in. Miscommunication appeared to be a concern for Joe as he went to his corner. Seconds later, AJ Styles was in the ring as he took it to Daniels. But then it was Joe who made the blind tag as Joe and AJ faced off. AJ was able to lock in a death lock, while Sonjay came in and locked a submission on Shelley as Aries locked one on Daniels as well. Moments later, AJ and Aries showed great X style against Joe in the corner with a series of blows to where Aries then performed a suicide dive to the outside on Shelley and Daniels. As Aries was getting back in however, Joe came charging at him with a big boot to the face sending him back down. It was then Samoa Joe who had Aries back in the ring as he redefined the meaning of domination. Joe then however tagged in Daniels to finish it off. AJ Styles now though was able to take out all opposing combatants, even Samoa Joe after having to take extra effort. Now we had everyone loose as they all broke out their signature moves.

ULIMATE X MATCH:
PETEY WILLIAMS vs. MATT BENTLEY vs. CHRIS SABIN
Bentley and Sabin started this out with the double team on Petey. They both then immediately wanted to climb the scaffold and tear down the X. That wasn’t going to happen as Petey took them out and now he wanted to try. Sabin though came right up behind and delivered a loud kick to the back of Petey Williams. His head was now wedged into the scaffold. After a high power move on Sabin by Bentley, Petey and D’Amore had Traci cornered on the outside, Bentley came to the save though but now Sabin was climbing the scaffold. Bentley quickly arrived to Sabin’s corner and hit a swinging neck breaker off the top rope. Chris Sabin later on had Petey Williams locked upside down in the corner as he delivered two hard driven running kicks to Petey’s face with the second one requested by the fans. Petey later hit a hurricarana on Sabin to the outside as he then climbed and swung on the ropes on the Ultimate X structure to try and take down the X, but he was brought down. Now Bentley and Sabin now faced off with several opposing moves to where Bentley got the break and got up top to where he broke one side of the X off as Petey Williams brought him down. Bentley did not bring the break down the X completely so he did not get the win. Now Bentley was back up top trying to take the X, but he was distracted with a great offensive opportunity by hitting Petey off of Sabin’s shoulders and also flipping Sabin down. The fans were on their feet chanting TNA! Bentley gave several right hands to Petey, but they were then countered as Petey hit the Russian Leg Sweep and then motioned for the Canadian Destroyer. Bentley telegraphed the move and later hit the Super Kick on Petey. Now Sabin delivered his Cradle Shock finisher as he now climbed the scaffold to go get the X. Petey however took Sabin down and then showcased his Canadian Destroyer finisher on Sabin. Now Bentley was back up top, as was Petey Williams, the two were seen both kicking at each other, but Petey was able to kick and hit a low blow and take down the X to win the Ultimate X Match!

NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:
CHAMPION, RHINO vs. JEFF JARRETT
Jeff Jarrett received his usual inappreciative response, and Rhino received one of the loudest responses from the fans of the iMPACT Zone. The bell then rang signifying the start of this match as the fans chanted “Let’s Go Rhino, Let’s Go!”. Jarrett started off with a drop kick as the fans showed Jarrett what they thought of that. Rhino was back to his feet and gave Jarrett a series of knife edge chops, but Jarrett gave a quick drop toe hold and did his strut, but it was a premature celebration as Rhino went back to work and elevated Jarrett high up above his head and slammed him down. Rhino went for the Gore, but Jarrett wisely went outside of the ring. Rhino followed and tossed Jarrett over the steel guardrail as they were now in the crowd. Later on, Rhino said this was all his as he took at a table from beneath the ring. Jarrett though blind-sided Rhino as he was setting the table up and went back to work on Rhino in the ring. Rhino blocked the offense and was going to hit the Rhino Driver to Jarrett off the top rope but it was the distraction of Gail Kim that had Rhino pushed off the top to the outside by Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett now had the advantage as he jacked the jaw of the champion by sliding to the outside and giving a stiff right. At this time, Jeff Jarrett had all the momentum, but Rhino quickly used the power and strength advantage to buy some offensive time of his own. Rhino caught Jarrett with the elbow, and then a shoulder block in the corner. Jarrett though caught Rhino in the knee and took notice right away of the pain and locked in the figure four on Rhino. Rhino was able to turn over and change the power of strengths. Gail Kim then tried to hit a leg drop but missed. Rhino had her elevated up to throw out as Jarrett then did a small package pin with a near fall. Moments later, Rhino hit a vicious spine buster with a near fall of his own. Rhino then went down to his pocket of moves and delivered a belly to belly suplex to a then attempted Gore and clothesline that then hit the referee. Jarrett then attempted to hit Rhino with the guitar as Rhino ducked and hit the Gore! The referee was out though as Gail Jim circled the ring. Rhino had the guitar in hand as the NWA World Tag Team Champions, America’s Most Wanted came down and distracted Rhino. Jarrett hit the low blow as AMW now took Rhino and hit the Death Sentence to Rhino on the outside through a table. AMW took Rhino and rolled him back in as Jeff Jarrett hit The Stroke and pinned for the victory, thus become the new and 5-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion.

Winner & New NWA World Heavyweight Champion: Jeff Jarrett

- Post match saw the Jeff Jarrett, America’s Most Wanted, and Gail Kim all raise each others arms as the power in TNA is back with this group. What does the future hold for Rhino, and what is Jeff Jarrett’s next move in TNA now that he has recaptured the NWA World Heavyweight Title? What is the future for Team 3D? They were shown backstage after the title win handcuffed and a pool of their own blood; obviously by the hands of America’s Most Wanted.

Tune in on Saturday, November 12, 2005 for the next edition of TNA iMPACT! as we will be less than 24 hours away from Genesis going live on pay-per-view!
