33 WTF Moments From TNA One Night Only: Rivals 2016

12. The Match Was Blatantly Taped Before The Double Turn

Though it's not exactly a huge surprise that the Rivals show was taped in early January, little effort is made to even disguise this fact, as it's clear from the audience reactions and general behaviour of the wrestlers that Matt Hardy is still the face and EC3 the heel. Plus, Josh and J.B. make no reference to the recent double turn and Hardy winning the TNA World Title, nor does Hardy come to the ring with his belt, Reby, Tyrus or Maxel. It's almost as if, with their lack of promotion for this show on Impact, TNA is somewhat embarrassed by these monthly PPVs they tape weeks in advance, and want them to quietly generate a little cash without much fanfare.
