TNA Impact Wrestling Review: Results and Analysis for February 2
By Dj Beal
TNA World Heavyweight Championship Match
Lashley (c) vs Jeff Hardy
Result: Lashley def. Hardy via pinfall to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
Jeff Hardy made his decision to challenge the TNA World Champion Bobby Lashley. Lashley just came off a hard fought victory last week in an Ironman Match against Eddie Edwards last week. This was a request from Matt Hardy’s seven deities in a quest to obtain all the championships.
This match was not as dominant as we are used to seeing from Lashley. Since these two haven’t faced each other in a while, it may have put the World Champion at a disadvantage. Hardy went for two Swanton Bombs and connected on both but he couldn’t put Lashley away. The fighting spirit of Lashley earned him another victory as he kicked out of the Swanton Bombs and ended the match with a spear. Lashley would retain his World Championship for the first time on Open Fight Night.
After the match, Eddie Edwards came to face off with the new champion. Edwards came up with a new nickname for Bobby Lashley. This got under Lashley skin and baited him into a title rematch with Eddie Edwards next week. Edwards simply wants one more chance the week after Open Fight Night.
