The following are results of the Impact Wrestling television taping for the Thursday, April 24th edition of the show.

– Magnus comes to the ring for a promo. He says he was never really beaten by Eric Young for the title, and says the biggest failure that fateful night was his help. He says good help is hard to find. He brings out Abyss. Magnus calls Abyss an idiot and says he now realizes why everyone abandoned him. Magnus fires Abyss. Abyss says he realizes now that he’s a monster and that he’s going to once again start destroying lives, starting with Magnus. Magnus says Abyss is no longer a contracted TNA wrestler. MVP comes out and confirms that fact. MVP says he will consider this Abyss’ TNA tryout, and that if he can defeat Magnus, he can regain his spot back in TNA.

– Bobby Lashley def. Kenny King via countout. Lashley dominated the majority of the match. As he was about to hit his finisher on King, King rolled out of the ring and simply walked off to the back. The referee counted him out.

– Madison Rayne comes to the ring for a promo. She calls out The Beautiful People. They come out and Madison attacks them. They recover, however, and get the upper hand. Brittany does a run-in to try and save Madison, but the numbers game is too much for them. The Beautiful People do their brown-bag skit on Madison. Gail Kim eventually comes out to make the save. She challenges The Beautiful People to a match later tonight.

– Kurt Angle def. Rockstar Spud. Angle dominated the match and finished off Spud via tapout with his ankle lock submission. Ethan Carter III comes out and attacks Angle after the match, but Willow ends up coming down to make the save.

– The Beautiful People def. Madison Rayne and Gail Kim in Knockouts tag-team action.

– Bobby Roode and James Storm def. Bully Ray and Gunner in tag-team action.

– MVP def. Austin Aries in the main event of the evening.

The following are highlights of a new ImpactWrestling.com interview with Angelina Love:

On what it was like returning to TNA: “It was magical, it felt so great to be back in front of the fans in an Impact Wrestling ring! This is my life, this is what I do and I felt right at home.”

On if we will see the good or bad Angelina Love: “Well it’s good being bad isn’t it?! Lol! You can believe the rumors out there if you want. But this time around, you will be seeing a smarter, wiser and more BEAUTIFUL Angelina. I got to explore some of my other passions; competing in two fitness competitions and filmed a TV show called “Dark Rising: Warrior of Worlds”. I really had time to relax and open up my spirit and take better note of what is beautiful & important in life. My growth has been outstanding and my eyes view the world much differently now.”

On what it was like being in the ring with Velvet Sky last week: “It was amazing of course! We share a bond closer then sisters; no matter how much time & space come in between can separate that. The Beautiful People is a part of myself & Velvet together, always has been, always will be. She has done amazing on her own since my departure and I’m so proud of her. I feel that so much time has gone by and if we were able to put the Beautiful People back together… it would start a new era in the Knockouts Division… a beautiful one!”

“The Beautiful People changed not only TNA but women’s wrestling when we debuted. Look at the number of copycats that popped up when we were on top. Often imitated but never duplicated. In 2014, I look at who is out there… and there isn’t anyone who can touch what Velvet and I can do together. I just hope Velvet makes the right decision this Thursday!”
