Impact Wrestling drew viewers 337,000 viewers on Thursday night on Pop TV, which is down from the 351,000 viewers the episode drew last week. The Delete or Decay match with Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, and The Decay was hyped all week but did not help TNA in viewership. The Final Deletion match between Matt and Jeff drew 410,000 viewers.
