PLAY BY PLAY

205 Live looks back at last week’s chaotic finish!

Just as Lio Rush was about to beat Tony Nese, Mike Kanellis jumped in to throw the match out! But while the Premier Captain and his new pal pummeled Lio, out came Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch! The BritAm Brawlers saved their team captain and they fought Nese and Kanellis all the way to the back. But Lio was then all alone for the return of Jack Gallagher! A Gentleman’s Dropkick AND Headbutt left the Living Piece of Gold out on the mat! The WWE medics have not cleared Lio Rush for competition, and that includes next week’s 5v5!

WWE Media catches up with Isaiah “Swerve” Scott.

Team NXT is without its captain, but Swerve assures us that he and the other four members have come to an agreement. There does not need to be a captain, but they will get their payback. While the “205 Live Originals” claim this is their home, they’re going to find that this is whose house? Swerve’s House. But does that mean they have a fifth man to fill the empty position? “Oh, yes it does.” Who will the new fifth man be?

Isaiah “Swerve” Scott VS Ariya Daivari!

Speaking of Swerve and the 205 Live OG’s, Swerve throws down with the Persian Lion for a last chance at momentum before next week’s Cruiserweight civil war! Who earns big points for their team before it all goes down?

The bell rings and Daivari circles with Swerve. They tie up, go around the ring, and then break. Daivari talks trash and shoves but Swerve shoves back. Swerve blocks Daivari’s kick and keeps out of his reach, to then get an arm. Swerve wants the armlock but Daivari gets the ropebreak. The ref counts and Swerve lets up, but Daivari sucker punches him! The ref reprimands Daivari but Daivari just goes after Swerve. Swerve dodges the punch to JAB back. Swerve rolls Daivari to then Eddy Gordo headscissors Daivari down! Fans cheer as Swerve continues to bob ‘n’ weave, body shot and basement dropkick!

Swerve goes up top fast but Daivari bails out. Swerve hops down to BOOT Daivari from the apron! Fans cheer and Swerve drags Daivari up and into the ring. Cover, TWO! Swerve grabs an arm and wrenches to a wristlock. He one-arm suplexes Daivari and traps one arm to pull on the other. Fans cheer as Swerve traps the other arm and pulls back. Daivari endures as he’s put into a cover, TWO! Daivari escapes but Swerve circles him like a shark. Swerve brings Daivari up but Daivari throat chops!

Swerve won’t let himself be frustrated, he traps an arm and grabs the other, to SNAP!! Daivari writhes as Swerve goes to a corner. Swerve hops up, for KILL STOMPS!! Cover, Swerve wins!

Winner: Isaiah “Swerve” Scott, by pinfall

A huge victory over the OG, and Team NXT has a big win before the 5v5 war! Will this new wave roll right over the old guard on this Road to WrestleMania?

Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch VS Tony Nese & Mike Kanellis!

Team NXT’s One Two have had rough goings on NXT, but that doesn’t mean they’re out of the fight! Will they challenge the Premier Dad Bods to all out life in the ring tonight?

The teams sort out and Nese starts with Burch. They circle and tie up, and Nese waistlocks to shove Burch. Nese says he knows what Buffalo wants, and he flexes. Burch ROCKS Nese with a right hand! Things speed up and Burch catches Nese out of the air! Burch flexes and fans cheer for that. Nese gets up and tags out to Kanellis, but Burch gets him with a drop toehold!

Nese tags in, he whips Burch into Kanellis’s rabbit forearm! Kanellis hops up as Nese pump handles Burch, flying knee to the powerslam! Cover, Nese & Kanellis win!

Winners: Tony Nese & Mike Kanellis, by pinfall

The 205 Live OG keep pace with Team NXT! Will Nese, Kanellis, Daivari, Gallagher and THE Brian Kendrick ride out this new wave of Cruiserweight talent? Or will that fifth man be what helps NXT take over the WWE Cruiserweight Division?

My Thoughts:

A pretty good episode, but there are still a lot of non-content based concerns. With WWE moving 205 Live to before SmackDown to be taped, and even then still only for 30 minutes or less, I feel like 205 Live has become Main Event for Cruiserweights. I know WWE is trying to keep 205 Live a touring brand, but I will say once again, they GUTTED this show with the last WWE Draft. Why don’t they just bring this to Full Sail? The 5v5 Elimination Tag match shows there are literally more Cruiserweights in NXT than on this show. Just have 205 Live be at Full Sail as the dark matches to NXT, and then all the WWE Cruiserweights can converge on one location for some real crossovers.

As for the actual content, that’s still solid. Swerve VS Daivari and Lorcan-Burch VS Nese-Kanellis were both really good but things went by so fast, this didn’t even feel like a half hour of action. It’s very effective for Gallagher’s return that he is why Lio Rush can’t be part of the match next week, I really hope this newest transformation is given a better push than the original jovial Gentleman or the menacing middle phase. Another reason for WWE to keep 205 Live at Full Sail is so that floating Cruiserweights like Gallagher and Kendrick only have to travel between Orlando and wherever NXT UK is for tapings. As for Lio’s replacement, I’m really hoping it’s Kushida. He hasn’t done much as of late, and this would be a great way to return while also sparking some possible stories for him in this division.

My Score: 8/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 4.25.2024

We just got done with Rebellion, and Under Siege is two weeks away! Gotta see how these dots connect!

Andrew Balaz

Rebellion had quite a few returns, Mike Santana, Sami Callihan and Broken Matt Hardy. All three of these guys could easily be main event players, and its nice to mix up and expand what felt like a rather small pool of potential challengers.

Under Siege is only like 2 weeks out, so we’ll see how the dots connect in such a short period of time.

A weird opening that is just framed to put Nemeth and Hardy together against The System. Feels a little awkward, but who knows how it will play out.

Mike Santana vs Myron Reed w/Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz

Ahh I didn’t really pay attention to Santana’s theme at Rebellion, but its pretty damn cool. Good stuff.

Rascalz blindside Santana early, but the heel advantage doesn’t last more than a few moves. Santana whips Myron from corner to corner, hits a few Hip Attacks before Myron finally dodges one and starts using his unique offense and agility to his advantage. Matrix dodge, into an Leaping Outside Back in Slingshot Codebreaker. Some more offense and Santana powders to the ramp, Myron jumps over the rope and tries a Flying Cutter, but Santana blocks it, turns things around, gets pushed forward and hits the Rolling Cutter. Santana takes out the Rascalz, heads back into the ring, Myron tries to catch him unawares but eats the Spin the Block off the rope run! Santana wins fairly quickly.

Maclin’s music hits, he tries to employ the help of The Rascalz to attack Santana, but as soon as Maclin positions himself to get in, The Rascalz bail and flip off Maclin. Maclin makes it out of the confrontation relatively unscathed, but at least we know where he’s going for Under Siege probably.

OH FUCK ME WITH RUSTY KNIVES. Because Cardona is hurt Kon is paired with SDL, and she just challenges Jordynne and PCO to a tag match. WHY!? STOP IT. This is hot garbage.

Josh Alexander comes out…I wonder who’s Super Finisher he’s gonna conveniently kick out this time? Brian Myers? Frankie Kazarian? Rich Swann? Because yes, I’m still annoyed that Hammerstone has been in TNA for half a sandwich, he already connects with a Super version of his finish on tacks, and that’s not a finish. Oh Kaz’s music hits. Okay, so time for Josh to kick out of Fade to Black or Flux Capacitor. Kaz talks smack, says he won his match too so he should have a say in who’s number one contender. Josh challenges him, Kaz says not right now, but a referee runs out and says the match is official.

#1 Contender: Frankie Kazarian vs Josh Alexander

Kaz throws his jacket on Josh’s head, and attacks him with some strikes before Josh fights back and throws Kaz out. Commercial break, we see Kaz misses his Apron Guillotine, Josh goes for the Low Crossbody but Kaz dodges and Josh goes flying. Kaz starts throwing some chops and claws at the cauliflowered ears of Josh. Russian Leg Sweep from Kaz for a near fall. Josh swings wildly and Kaz ducks the strike and levels Josh with a Lariat.

Josh blocks a Vertical Suplex attempt, but Frankie pulls off a Fisherman’s Suplex after a few overhead strikes for a near fall. Josh stands up and connects with a straight right, rocks Kaz, Back Body Drop, into a Charging Forearm, Rolling Senton, 2 count! C4 Spike attempt countered into a Back Stabber and then Chicken Wing, but Josh fights it off, rolls through and into an Ankle Lock, Kaz kicks off and into a Head and Arm Cradle for a near fall and then the Guillotine Leg Drop into Slingshot DDT spot from Kaz for another 2 count!

Fade to Black, but its fought off, Big Boot but then Kaz counters the next move with a Power Slam into the Springboard Guillotine Leg Drop, but Josh grabs the Ankle Lock! Locomotion German Suplex time from Josh, Halfhatch Suplex after the Germans, floats over for a 2 count! C4 Spike attempt again, but Kaz fights it off, dumps him over the top rope, slingshots him in and into the Cutter for a near fall for Kaz! After the 2 Kaz grabs a chair and chain, the referee stops the chair of course, so he tries the chain, EY runs down and grabs the chain so Kaz pulls the Eddie Guerrero and the referee admonishes EY, but doesn’t DQ Josh. So as Kaz is busy laughing at EY, Josh picks the ankle, Ankle Lock with the Grapevine, Kaz taps.

ASH by Elegance vs Xia Brookside

Both are jawing at each other and then throw hands before Xia gets the upper hand with a Headscissors from the Top Turnbuckle, Charging Knees, a Flurry of Kicks, but when the ref forces some space in the corner, ASH is finally able to dodge and work over Xia with her Twisting Body Splash, a few choking moves, a corner Stomp into a Snap Suplex for 2. ASH is in charge elegantly, but the referee keeps forcing space on both of them when they go for corner attacks. Xia manages to take advantage a little, but ASH regains control, kicks Xia up the ramp and then lands her Cartwheel Back Elbow up the ramp. It actually looks pretty cool executed like that.

Headlocks and Hair Pulling to keep Xia down and using energy to kick out. ASH is getting frustrated but Xia is remaining persistent. ASH goes back to the Headlock, but Xia fights up, Jawbreaker, Back Elbow, Kick to the gut and Drop Toe Hold sends ASH face first into the middle buckle. Xia rips off 4 Double Knee Smashes to the back of ASH’s head into her Flying Crossbody for a close 2! Xia pulls her up, but ASH spins out, then Xia slips it, but ASH kicks her in the chest and deposits her to the outside and demands a count from the referee. Iceman puts Jeweled Knuckles/Rings on ASH’s hand, the referee catches her, removes the stuff from her fingers and Xia hits the School Girl Roll-Up for the flash win.

Fraud has thrown the Ballot Box Battle into chaos, but also paved the way for an explosive showdown between @TheTreyMiguel and @The_Ace_Austin NEXT WEEK to determine the #1 Contender for the X Division Championship! #TNAiMPACT pic.twitter.com/lYHrtgNrc3

Sami Callihan vs The Good Hands

So the Good Hand Jobs are about to do their job to Sami. I’m just gonna assume Sami beats the hell out of both and wins with a Cactus Driver ’97. If anything interesting happens I might actually cover it, but come on now.

.@SteveMaclin has a proposition for @FrankieKazarian #TNAiMPACT pic.twitter.com/XY6lMdmSWo

Kaz makes a Metallica reference with the “Wash Your Back So You Won’t Stab Mine”…and Sweet Amber is the only good song on St. Anger. So…I ain’t mad.

Eddie Edwards w/Alisha Edwards & Brian Myers vs Nic Nemeth

A little early ground wrestling and headlocks for control from both men. Nothing super flashy to start until we get to the rope run and Nemeth goes for the Flying Body Press to drop Eddie. Before Nemeth can follow up, Lish grabs his foot. Nic does have his brother Ryan in the crowd, trying to get chants going and do the old school ‘power up the babyface’ thing, but Eddie has been in control since Lish got involved. Simple offense, chokes, strikes, Snap Suplexes, Knee Drops, simple yet effective. But then Eddie ducks his head too early, Nemeth kicks him in the face, bounces his head off the buckles a few times, Dropkick sends Eddie reeling to the corner, Nemeth starts the 10 Count Punches but Myers hits the apron to distract and Eddie manages to slip the situation and push Nemeth to the floor.

Commercial break happens, Nemeth is trying to fight back with Chops, but a Kitchen Sink from Eddie puts Nemeth on the floor again! Clubbing blow from Eddie, but Eddie then misses the Hip Attack in the corner and Nemeth counters with the Rude Awakening into the 10 Count Rain of Elbows. Fame Ass-er miss, Eddie tries something but Nemeth turns it into that hesitation DDT for 2! Tuning up the band starts to build and Eddie powders to avoid it. Nemeth throws Eddie back in, goes to the top, but Eddie crotches him, rises up and hits the Superplex into Tiger Driver for 2! Eddie starts mocking with Tuning Up the band but Nemeth hits his own Superkick into an Olympic Slam for 2!

Both men just trade strikes Fighting Spirit style, Eddie says “Always Trust the System” and Nemeth shuts him up with a Headbutt. Danger Zone is blocked, Boston Knee Party gets ducked, they level each other with Lariats! Myers and Ryan Nemeth start fighting to distract the referee, Moose hits the ring and hits Nemeth with the belt. Eddie lands Boston Knee Party and The System wins again!

Overall Score: 6/10

A lame opening segment, a squash match, ASH by Elegance getting her first loss, and a weird way of just pulling the number one contender out of mid air makes for an awkward show. Also Kon still be involved in, literally anything, is negative. However, I can say there was a ton of stuff thrown at the wall this episode, so there’s a chance that some things landed better with other people than myself. The ballot segments were amusing, they overused the “I need to talk to you Santino” gimmick a bit much and personally I feel like having Jake versus Hammerstone is booking yourself into a weird corner.

But hey, the main event was fun, Nemeth getting laid out to the point that there could be a story reason to take him out of the Under Siege match. Kaz with the Metallica reference was pop worthy and I guess its a lot of ‘let’s see where it goes’ kind of angle creation. So it wasn’t complete trash, but its definitely a wait and see episode.
