20-man battle royal for a TNA World title shot
The battle royal featured a mix of mid-card and lower-card talent, with Moose being a notable exception. A question arises as to why more of the company’s top talent weren’t vying for this opportunity. The match included teases for future tag team feuds and a potential match between Bear Bronson and Jake Something.A key moment saw AJ Francis eliminate Rich swann, costing his former First Class teammate a shot at the title.
The final three were Bronson, Eric Young, and Ryan Nemeth. Bronson eliminated Nemeth, and Young tossed Bronson, but he didn’t hit the floor. A struggle on the apron led to Young’s elimination via a back body drop, surprisingly awarding the title shot to the newcomer.
bear Bronson has shown promise beyond his work in Bear Country, and this opportunity could be a significant step forward for him in TNA.
