Welcome back to our coverage of the Real World Tag League and we had a solid show at the last set of shows and we now got three more shows to cover on this one before our final article after this one.
At the end of this coverage, I’ll go over to the bottom of the standings to see who has a chance to make it and who doesn’t, along with how the ones that do can win. Who will become one step closer to winning it all?

Real World Tag League 2018 Match
KAI & Kengo Mashimo vs. Gianni Valletta & TAJIRI
Review: Our first match of the show and the set of coverage is TAJIRI and Gianni Valletta up to their old tricks again as they now go up against KAI and Kengo Mashimo. KAI and Kengo had a big win over the Violent Giants and they’re still in the race if they could win another one right here or they could fail and get eliminated by TAJIRI and Gianni for them to play the spoiler. Will TAJIRI and Gianni be able to do that or will KAI and Kengo push forward?
Quite a short match but it was entertaining, to say the least. TAJIRI and Gianni attacked KAI and Kengo soon as the bell rang and they would go fight to the outside where Gianni attacked KAI with his chain before bringing him back inside. It was just usually TAJIRI and Gianni doing their typical heel work that you’ve seen in all the other matches that they’ve been involved in while KAI and Kengo would just do their best to fight them off. The only memorable part was when Gianni attempts to use his chain in the match as KAI pulled onto it and all four start to play tug of war with it as it hits the referee. TAJIRI tried to hit Kengo with the kendo stick as Kengo caught it and hits TAJIRI with it and hold him up as KAI accidentally kicked Kengo. TAJIRI would hold KAI in place now as Gianni tries to hit him with a chain and hits TAJIRI by accident now, then it happens with Kengo accidentally hitting KAI and once it went to Gianni holding Kengo, TAJIRI would accidentally spit green mist into Gianni’s eyes and Kengo rolled Gianni up to get another win!

Real World Tag League 2018 Match
Manabu Soya & Takao Omori vs. Shuji Ishikawa & Suwama
Review: Our next match is Get Wild taking on the current World Tag Team Champions, The Violent Giants. Get Wild has suffered two big losses in a row and right now they’re in a not so great spot that if they do lose this match, they will be eliminated from the tournament mathematically. Violent Giants are still in a great position but would be in a tough spot if they do lose here or they win and tie for first place. Can the Violent Giants tie up or will Get Wild steal a win?
Manabu and Suwama started the match off with mostly testing their strengths with a lock-up and trying to tackle each other down as they showed that they’re evenly matched here in this one before they switch it up with the tags. Takao and Shuji had a nice little encounter as well with the strikes but it does seem like Shuji had the advantage before he attempted a Piledriver onto the ring apron and Takao would flip him over so it doesn’t happen. Get Wild started to double team Shuji during the majority of the arm and even worked on his injured shoulder to weaken his offense more.
Suwama gets the hot tag as he enters the ring to hit Manabu with a Lariat and he tries to hit the Last Ride as Takao would hit him before he could even get a chance to as he now fights the both of them off with a series of chops. I did say Suwama can go when he really wants to and he shows it off right here with his performance when he fights Manabu mostly in this match. Violent Giants attempt to hit a Powerbomb onto their opponents as Takao hits the Package Driver onto Suwama while Manabu hits the Death Valley Driver onto Shuji to prevent the powerbomb to happen. Get Wild starts to get fired up with a Double Lariat to Suwama to get him dazed and Manabu picks him up to hit the Death Valley Driver for a two count when Shuji knees him in the face. Violent Giants get some payback with Suwama hitting Manabu with a German Suplex and Shuji hitting a Dragon Suplex which leads to a Dropkick for another two count. Suwama would go for a Backdrop for a two count and quick hits the Backdrop Driver to get the pinfall for Violent Giants to tie for first place while Get Wild is eliminated.

Real World Tag League 2018 Match
Zeus & The Bodyguard vs. Daisuke Sekimoto & Jun Akiyama
Review: Our main event for this show takes place as Daisuke Sekimoto and Jun Akiyama make their return to take on The Big Guns. Daisuke and Uncle Gun are still three wins and losses each with four matches left, so they can play catch-up if they win the next three matches in a row to tie up. The Big Guns are in a tight spot and if they lose this match, they could be eliminated from the tournament, so a win here is needed if they wanna survive. Can The Big Guns get the win or will it belong to the other team?
Another match-up I would love to see would be between Zeus and Daisuke as they started the match off with a test of strength as they shared a good couple of minutes in the ring together to be evenly matched as they tagged in their respective partners. The Bodyguard was doing well holding out on his own against Uncle Jun until Daisuke was able to make a tag back in after a brawl to the outside as the Big Guns would now start to take control of the match. One thing I really enjoyed about this match was basically the wrestling of it as it had an old school Japanese wrestling type of feeling to it while also making it modern enough for the fans to get invested into this type of match, and just having both of these teams tell a story with their wrestling for this match.
When Jun did get the hot tag for the match, it did feel short-lived since he wouldn’t be in the ring for too long as he tagged Daisuke back in for him and Zeus to battle it out once again, and they do with them chopping each other on the turnbuckle. The two would have a staredown before chopping each other a bit more until Zeus got the better of Daisuke as he won the chop battle and attempts to go for the Jackhammer until Daisuke reversed it to hit Zeus with a Suplex. The two would try to take each other down with a Lariat as both men wouldn’t fall down upon impact since they both got enough strength to keep going but it was Zeus who won the battle when he hits a Lariat while jumping before he tagged in Bodyguard. The Big Guns throw Jun out of the ring and would attempt a Double Chokeslam onto Daisuke who fights out of it enough for both Jun and Daisuke to apply their submissions onto their opponents but none of them would tap out.
Jun and Daisuke would try to go for their Wrist-Clutch Exploder and German Suplex combo until Zeus grabbed a hold of Daisuke for Big Guns to hits them with a Brainbuster each to get them down and out for the count. Zeus Chokeslams Daisuke and Bodyguard hits an Elbow Drop for a two count and would then hit a Roundhouse Kick and a Lariat for Daisuke to still kick out of it. The match would come to a close when Daisuke hits Bodyguard with the German Suplex Hold as they stay in the race while The Big Guns are eliminated. Since Daisuke pinned Bodyguard, does he get a future All Asia Heavyweight Championship match? I hope so.

Real World Tag League 2018 Match
Naoya Nomura & Yumi Aoyagi vs. Daisuke Sekimoto & Jun Akiyama
Review: Our first match on this show is NEXTREAM finally making their return to the tournament and they’re opponents are Daisuke Sekimoto and Jun Akiyama. We all know NEXTREAM are mathematically eliminated from the tournament but they could still stack up on a couple of wins to play spoiler right now. Jun and Daisuke are still in the race for the time being but they would have to win this match to keep the ball rolling for the most part. Can Jun and Daisuke do it or will NEXTREAM get their second win finally?
Jun does have a little score to settle with NEXTREAM too since it was them who defeated him and Yuji Nagata for the All Asia Tag Titles a few months ago, so he would definitely wanna get some type of payback on them, even if it’s with a new partner. One little complaint that I have here is Uncle Jun not really going hard on either of these guys as he did with Yoshitatsu or Jake Lee and you can tell when he was stiffing those guys while in here, just doing it normal and just threw me off a little bit. Despite the little nitpick, still a solid match between the two teams as NEXTREAM got sent to their limits once again with the veteran team to go head to head with them, even giving them a run for their money.
Jun delivering his knee strikes and even a Ko-Oh for a two count and before he would hit Nomura with another knee, Nomura would dodge it and hit a Spear onto Jun. NEXTREAM would do their tag team combo with Nomura hitting a Splash off the top rope and then Yuma hitting an Elbow Drop as Jun kicked out at two. Daisuke is in the ring to help Jun out to hold Yuma still while Jun hits him with a knee for another two count and applies the Guillotine Choke while Daisuke hits the Torture Rack onto Nomura for the double submission but none of them would tap out. Jun would go for the Wrist-Clutch Suplex onto Yuma as Daisuke would hit the German to give Jun that extra boost but both men are knocked out as Daisuke would get Jun’s arm over Yuma to get the pinfall and they’re still in the race!

Real World Tag League 2018 Match
Zeus & The Bodyguard vs. KAI & Kengo Mashimo
Review: Our main event for this show is KAI and Kengo Mashimo taking on The Big Guns. The Big Guns got eliminated from the last show, but they could at least ruin it for other people in this tournament. KAI and Kengo are still in the running and would be tied for first place if they win this match, but they will be eliminated from the tournament if they do lose this match. Will KAI and Kengo get a win or will they suffer The Big Guns?
Kengo and Zeus do have a bit of a score to settle since Kengo was the one who made Zeus tap out in the Oudou Tournament when Zeus was the champion at the time, so Zeus would want a little bit of payback to redeem that loss by taking Kengo out of this tournament. The Big Guns though are just absolutely dominating this match though since they would just get control straight from the beginning after the usual miscommunication between KAI and Kengo, it was mostly Zeus who was doing the work after Bodyguard started the match off. Kengo would once in a while fight Zeus off but Zeus kept overpowering him and showing why he’s one of All Japan’s best here.
Kengo attempt to go for the tag to KAI but Bodyguard runs into the ring to take KAI out and keep Kengo in the ring for Big Guns to do more damage. Kengo would accidentally hit KAI after he tried to come in and help as The Big Guns would hit Kengo with a Double Chokeslam and as Bodyslam made the cover, KAI would break the count before three. We now have Kengo and Bodyguard alone in the ring while Zeus and KAI fight outside as the two would kick each other back and forth as Bodyguard won the kick off…haha get it? He would hit Kengo with a Lariat for a two count and he attempts to go pick him up, but Kengo rolls him up with a Small Package as KAI and Kengo get another win to stay in the race!

Real World Tag League 2018 Match
Naoya Nomura & Yumi Aoyagi vs. Dylan James & Joe Doering
Review: Our opening match for the final show of this article is NEXTREAM going at it once again as they take on The Bomber. The Bomber are actually in a great spot that they have two more matches left after this one and still ten points under their name, so they could win the whole thing if they win their last three matches and if they did somehow lose one more match, they would still be in the game if they don’t lose another one after. NEXTREAM though could have another win up their sleeve to give them something for the time being. Will NEXTREAM get it or does The Bomber take another victory?
Dylan would attack NEXTREAM after the streamers were thrown into the ring as he started to dominate Nomura in the match. I see that Joe’s shoulder is all healed up too and a little time off was a good idea. The match was short and average as it was just Dylan mostly playing with his food aka beating up Nomura for a couple of minutes. The Bomber would try to go for the Double Piledriver but Yuma would Dropkick Joe before they could even do this and they tried to Double Clothesline Dylan but he hits them both with a Lariat and dominates them once again. Yuma goes for a Crossbody but Dylan catches him as Nomura Dropkicked him down and rolls him up once Yuma moved out of the way as NEXTREAM gets the win after four minutes! As I said before, The Bomber can still win despite the loss but they can’t lose their next match or they’re out.

Real World Tag League 2018 Match
Shuji Ishikawa & Suwama vs. Daisuke Sekimoto & Jun Akiyama
Review: Our next match is Violent Giants taking on Daisuke Sekimoto and Jun Akiyama. I was wondering when this match was going to happen and I’m glad it’s happening now since we might get some stiff action in this bout. Jun and Daisuke would need to win the match in order to stay alive in the tournament and they’ve been on quite the winning streak lately too, so this would be good for them. If Violent Giants do lose, they would still be in the race since they’re still in first place with one more match left after this. Can Violent Giants win or will we have another team tie for first place?
This match is pretty much how I expected it to go with the old school type of wrestling along with just high impact type of wrestling with four of the top guys in the business. Daisuke being in All Japan pretty much made me want to see certain singles matches, like him against either Shuji or Suwama as he did very well with the both of them in the match with his power to match the both of theirs. Daisuke and Suwama going back and forth outside of the ring was a lot of fun seeing them get aggressive to each other but Suwama would win that battle and the Violent Giants start to take control of the match over Daisuke.
Uncle Jun would finally get a tag into the match as he applies the Guillotine onto Suwama to try and make him tap but the hold would be broken. Suwama would hit the Belly-to-Belly Suplex before tagging Shuji in now as he charges into Jun at the turnbuckle and hits him with a Double Stomp off the second rope for a two count. Daisuke gets back into the ring now to apply the Torture Rack onto Shuji and then throws him into Suwama before he now applies the Sharpshooter until there was a rope break. Shuji and Daisuke go back and forth with a Lariat battle until Violent Giants start to hit a double one onto him and just manhandle Daisuke. Violent Giants go for their Double Powerbomb as they get flipped over and Jun goes for the Exploder Suplex onto Suwama as Daisuke does the German combo to get him out of the ring. Daisuke and Shuji are in the ring going at it as Daisuke would hit one big Lariat and gets the win over Violent Giants!

Real World Tag League 2018 Match
Kento Miyahara & Yoshitatsu vs. Zeus & The Bodyguard
Review: Our final match for this show and article is The Big Guns taking on Yoshiken. Both of these teams are technically eliminated but they still gotta do the match and I have no doubt they’ll deliver us a fun match. Plus, I get to see Kento and Zeus sharing a ring together again as a little treat for myself. Will Yoshiken get the win at least or will The Big Guns stop their little losing streak for a second time?
We had Kento and Zeus starting the match off here and I’m already hooked into the match as Kento and Zeus sharing the ring is always a treat to see together. There will be a couple of times that Yoshi and Bodyguard will get involved in the match but a good first part of it was mostly Zeus and Kento and I have no problem with that. I really enjoyed this tag match here as all four of them delivered big time here and we got great action from everyone playing their part. Yoshi though really held out his own against Zeus in the match as well and probably one of his better performances in this match-up and hopefully, we can see more of this Yoshi in 2019.
Zeus would attempt to go for the Chokeslam on Yoshi as he powered out of it and Kento would help him out to throw him into the turnbuckle and then Yoshi hits the Tornado DDT for a two count. Zeus is on the turnbuckle as Kento holds his leg still for Yoshi to come up to hits the Superplex as Zeus comes up right away but gets caught in a Spinning Heel Kick. Bodyguard gets in the ring as Yoshiken throw him into the ropes but Bodyguard hits a Clothesline on both of them as he hulks up now and they hit a Double Chokeslam onto Yoshi for a two count. Bodyguard gets Yoshi up on his shoulders to go for a Doomsday Device but Yoshi would duck the Clothesline for Zeus to miss and Kento hits Bodyguard with a Big Boot to get him out of the ring. Kento sees Zeus getting up as he eyes his target for a Blackout to the back of Zeus’ head then hits a German Suplex along with another Blackout with Yoshi topping it off with a Penalty Kick for a one count as Zeus quickly gets back up only to get caught in a Koji Clutch which he tries to break free with Yoshi trying to pin him for a two count. Yoshi gets up quickly to try and hit the Codebreaker of Jericho but Zeus caught him before he could connect and gets him off to hit a Lariat and then hits his Jackhammer as The Big Guns get a win!

Overall: Only two matches were average while the rest of the matches had solid to great matches. We now have a clear idea of how things can go for the last two shows and six matches remaining, so let’s get those done soon.
Favorite Match: Zeus & The Bodyguard vs. Daisuke Sekimoto & Jun Akiyama
Least Favorite Match: Naoya Nomura & Yumi Aoyagi vs. Dylan James & Joe Doering
Score: 7.5/10
Current Standings
KAI/Kengo: (6-3) (12 Points)
Jun/Daisuke: (6-3) (12 Points)
The End: (6-3) (12 Points)
Violent Giants: (6-3) (12 Points)
The Bomber: (5-3) (10 Points)
Get Wild: (4-5) (8 Points)
Yoshiken: (4-5) (8 Points)
The Big Guns: (4-5) (8 Points)
Sweeper: (3-6) (6 Points)
Gianni/TAJIRI: (3-6) (6 Points)
NEXTREAM: (2-7) (4 Points)
So we see that four people are tied for first place while The Bomber has two matches left to give them enough time to maybe climb up to catch up with the others.
- The End: They can win if The Bomber lose their next match and they beat Violent Giants at the final show, while The End beats Yoshiken.
- Violent Giants: They need to defeat The Bomber while both Jun/Daisuke and KAI/Kengo lose their matches.
- KAI and Kengo: They defeat Sweeper while The End, Jun/Daisuke, and The Bomber lose their matches
- The Bomber: They win their last two matches.
- Jun and Daisuke: They win their last match while The Bomber loses to Violent Giants.

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 4.3.2025
The first episode under the new regime, let’s see how bad it is.
Well this is the first episode with the new regime, and I’m not looking forward to it. I’m expecting a car crash, because Delirious is worthless, Dreamer is hit or miss at the best, and no one else has a proven track record at having a brain. So I expect pure garbage.
Let’s see if I get surprised!
.@MeanGiaMiller caught up with TNA Knockouts Champion @mashaslamovich, @XiaBrookside, and @TheLeiYingLee ahead of TONIGHT’s massive main event against Tessa Blanchard, #WWENXT’s @jacyjaynewwe, and Jazmyn Nyx!

Results:
We lead off with Joe Hendry music because he’s on commentary during the Elijah versus Kaz match.
#1 Contender Match: Elijah vs Frankie Kazarian
We start off with Kaz sticking and moving to dodge Elijah, but he eventually catches him and goes to the Rope Walk quickly and pulls it off. Elijah tries to go into a Piledriver or something but Kaz slips it and pulls down Elijah with the slip. They go to the outside, Kaz throws Elijah into the post, then slaps Hendry, shoving match starts, Kaz charges and Hendry lifts but Kaz slips out the back and shoves Hendry into Elijah…the ref lets it slide. So Kaz throws in Elijah and a quick cradle gives Kaz the opportunistic win.
Post Match Hendry just goes crazy on Kaz, security pull apart spot, even Elijah pulls off Hendry and calms him down. Elijah playing the long game, not even arguing that Hendry cost him. The match didn’t have enough substance to rate, it was purely a plot device and a little convoluted.
Backstage segment of Hendry with the Doctor, Hendry apparently messed up his shoulder in the scuffle…so…that’s something.
System Ultimatum time is next. The crowd is booing the hell out of Eddie, and it’s a real reaction not go away heat or anything, Eddie plays in it well enough. Lish leads the way and wants to do the Planteer pose, but the rest just walk past her and she seems annoyed, while these others seem somber. This was going the way we expected with everyone sticking around. We finally get to Moose and doofus Deaner’s music hits. Deaner tries to get the crowd to rally around Moose resigning from The System. Moose says the People are right, but then beats the hell out of Deaner. They do the Planeteer pose over the corpse of Deaner. Hopefully we never see that dork again, just let him go be a jobber in Maple Leaf Pro.
Spitfire vs Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend
Jakara starts with Dani, a quick tie up, but Jakara strikes out of it, Arm Drag sends Dani flying, but Dani stops Jakara’s next attempts at offense, tags in Jody and a tandem moment rocks Jakara. Jody tags back out and Lash tags in, so it’s power and booty versus power and booty. Shoulder Tackle spot and Lash gets the best of it, Dani holds on to the ropes to stop the Whip recoil, Jody with the blind tag, they try to team up but Lash fights out of both. Jody goes Spider Monkey and tries to choke out Lash but Lash just walks her back to Jakara and tags out. Jakara is rolling until Jody holds the ropes and watches Jakara crash and burn on a Dropkick. Probably the best I’ve seen that spot in a long time. Dani tags in, they try the Scoop Slam tandem attack on Jakara, but Jakara moves and Dani just slams Jody into the mat.
Lash gets tagged in and starts to maul Dani. A little rotating offense keeping Dani isolated. Dani tries to find an opening but she’s eating move after move, they go for the Tandem Wheelbarrow Slam, but Dani gets the knees up. Dani finally gets a chance to tag out, Jody starts working over both Lash and Jakara. Stacks them in the corner to do her 10 Count Lariats, Exploder Suplex into rope hung Double Knees. Jody wants the German but Lash tries to stop it. Jody fights off Lash, manages a Stalling Jackhammer on Jakara, but Lash does manage to break up the pin. All four are in the ring, Dani gets tosses, Straight Right from Lash clocks Jody. Jakara flies to wipe out Dani, they look for the M-KO but Jody fights it off. Jody throwing Chops on both, it starts to look stupid, Jody tries to fire and Lash wants to clock her with the Forearm during the stall but hits Jakara.
Crossbody from Jody, Lash catches her, M-KO. Meta Girls win.
Oh great more talking, now the Hardyz are out to talk and Matt gives a decent but basic promo that goes into a bit of Broken just for the cheap pop. Jeff pokes fun at the “best brother tag team” joke from last week. If they weren’t The Hardyz the crowd wouldn’t care. Oh speaking of not caring, the Great Hands and snackalicious Tasha Steelz interrupt. Great Hands want to fight, Hardyz are okay with it of course, then Santino comes out. He says after the commercial Great Hams vs Hard Boys is on!
Hardy Boyz vs Great Hands w/Tasha Steelz
Hotch is getting worked over by both Hardys, a little classic tandem offense, an early pinfall, but Hotch claws the eyes and tags in Skyler. Skyler’s advantage last like 12 seconds, he tags Jeff, Rocket Launcher into the middle rope with a Leg Drop from Jeff. Jeff tries to Whisper in the Wind in the opposition corner like a dumbass, so Hotch crotches him, the Hands do the double crotch stomp as Jeff is in the Tree of Woe. Assisted offense, they try to perch Jeff, but Jeff fights them off and pulls off the best Whisper in a minute. Matt gets the hot tag, Scoop Slams, Delete Headsmashes, and a Side Effect on Hotch for fun. Matt wants the Twist on Skyler, Skyler counters, Jeff tags in, Poetry in Motion, Side Effect on Skyler and only a near fall.
Twist of Hate attempt, Hotch breaks it up, Matt takes out Hotch, Skyler almost pulls off the Flash upset with the Cradle. Plot Twist, Swanton, and Jeff wins.
Ryan Nemeth is in the back watching the match, has a few snarky things to say while wearing an LA Sparks jersey, Leon Slater and his lack of charisma in Birmingham accent shows up. Hates the WNBA obviously since he tries to push Ryan out of camera frame, and then they’ll prolly have a match at some point. At least Ryan has a gimmick that’s been amusing, but God is Leon Slater useless.
THEY HAVE AN INJURY REPORT SEGMENT – that’s soo damn corny. Never do this again, this is dumb as hell.
Oh great, more talking…SDL and Mance Warner. Where’s Keenan when I need someone to scream “WHY!?!”
This promo is complete shit, they even invent a bad magazine called TNA Weekly for this dumb thing. I hate this, and not in the “I wanna see them get beat up good heel work way”, I hate them because they’re useless, uninteresting and just saying dumb crap. When Santino comes out and effectively calls them stupid and cringe…that’s kind of a problem when the comedy character calls you dumb. THEY ARE REBRANDING THE BELT AGAIN! International Championship…ugh. Sami comes out to beat up Mance while Santino tries to wrestle the belt away from Steph. This is just cringe.
.@MustafaAli_X unleashed a vicious verbal assault on Derek, dragging his past addiction into the spotlight—making his war with @Santana_Proud even more personal.

Mustafa Ali is doing great work. I’m a little mad this promo was buried in this awful episode.
Tessa Blanchard, Jacy Jayne, Jazmyn Nyx w/Fallon Henley vs Lei Ying Lee, Xia Brookside & Masha Slamovich
Tessa and Masha start, Masha shoots the half, rains down fists, Tessa kicks her off but Masha keeps up the aggression and forces Tessa to powder. Fatal Influence tries to come in, Xia and Lei dispatch them, Dual Baseball Slide take out the NXT girls, and a Middle Rope Plancha from Masha takes out Tessa as we go to commercial.
Back from commercial Lei Ying has Jacy in a grounded Arm Bar. A little hair pull makes Lei stand up, but she drops Jacy flat after a Round Kick, Low Sweep and then a Running Knee as she’s getting back up. A corner Down Strike has Lei rolling, but a blind tag from Jazmyn catches Lei by surprise and then she gets trapped in the heel corner. The Fatal Influence gals rotate in and out, all 3 take cheap shots, PK into a Senton for a near fall. Lei finally fights off the onslaught and gets Xia in. Xia is very fiery and angry, and now Jazmyn is getting her ass beat. Rosemary is in the audience to distract Xia a little but Xia still connects with Broken Wings and a near fall. Xia gets tripped up on the apron, Jacy gets tagged in and a PK drops Xia on the outside. Hard Irish Whip back in the ring and Cannonball from Jacy has Xia down and out. Jazmyn tags back in, and Xia tries to fire up, Monkey Flip but pulled away by Jacy, Xia tags out, Masha takes out both Fatal Influence members, goes for a pinfall but Tessa runs in with a head of steam to break the pinfall. All six are in for Signature spam spot. Spinning Heel kick from Masha, Fallon distracts on the outside, and Tessa takes advantage of all the chaos, Buzzsaw DDT and Tessa gets the pinfall victory.
Ethan Page interrupts Kaz’s promo at the end of the show. Claiming he should have the title shot since he pinned Joe in NXT. So the Rebellion match is Ethan Page versus Joe Hendry.
Overall Score: 1/10
The one point is for Mustafa’s promo and the main even being decent. But this was awful. Too much talking, an “Injury Report” like this is a real situation and not scripted, which is insulting, and YET AGAIN, a new name for the lower card title. Jesus Christ, stop renaming the damn belt. Legends/TV/King of the Mountain/Grand/Digital Media/International… just stop it. Stick to a name or stop doing a lower card belt. Also really lame that they keep trying to push Cardona as something important.
Kaz and Elijah’s thing is a stupid angle, The System firing was a giant cock tease and who the hell gives Eddie the power to call everyone to task? Mance and SDL are the worst thing on this show after Deaner’s existence. SDL has been a plague on TNA programming since wasting time with her “needs neck surgery” promo instead of a match. I do truly feel bad for Mustafa Ali’s promo being stuck on this pile of crap.
This was an episode that should’ve been an e-mail. Garbage effort, garbage stories, just straight up a waste of two hours. Even with the Ethan Page appearance, this episode was still worthless. Is it sad to say, I expected nothing and am still disappointed by this episode? Ugh… LOLTNA…

ROH World Tag Team Championships Proving Ground: Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara VS Cole Karter & Griff Garrison w/ The Frat House!
The Sons of Texas know MXM Collection is obsessed with them, but they have to focus on themselves right now. Will they check another team off the list? Or will The Diamond in the Rough & The Ivy League MVP have an even bigger reason to party tonight?
As The Frat House makes their entrance, Jacked Jameson is making the challenge for someone, anyone, to do sudden death beer pong. Jameson doesn’t think the fans are up to it, but The Natural & The Spanish God say bet. Jameson gives them the ping pong balls, then he and Preston Vance go outside the ring. Dustin & Sammy take aim, but then say “SUCK IT!” The Sons of Texas toss the balls, but Karter & Griff CLOBBER them from behind! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but the bell rings! Griff goes after Dustin, Karter has Sammy, then they double whip. Dustin & Sammy grab ropes, then TOSS Karter & Griff out!
The fans rally as Sammy & Dustin build speed, but then they strut, spinarooni, and pose! The fans cheer but The Frat House coaches up their boys. Griff & Karter rush in, but Dustin & Sammy dodge to then HIP TOSS! The fans cheer and Sammy keeps Karter in. Sammy snap suplexes, covers, TWO! Sammy clamps onto Karter, tags in Dustin, and the Sons of Texas DOUBLE SUPLEX! Karter writhes, Dustin runs, SHINING WIZARD! Sammy adds a STANDING MOONSAULT! Dustin covers, TWO! Karter stays in this but Dustin stays on him with an armlock. Dustin wrenches, tags Sammy, and Sammy climbs up. Sammy DOUBLE STOMPS the arm!
Sammy puts Karter against ropes and CHOPS! Sammy whips, hurdles, backflips over, then DROPKICKS Karter down! Sammy kips up so smooth and the fans cheer. Vance gets on the apron, Sammy takes a swing! Vance gets away, Karter runs up, but Sammy BOOTS him away! Griff HOTSHOTS Sammy, and Karter LARIATS Sammy down! Karter goes up to soak up heat, then he stomps away on Sammy. Karter drags Sammy up, bumps him off buckles, and he tags Griff. They mug Sammy, the ref counts, and Griff taunts Dustin. This lets Jameson & Vance CHOKE Sammy! Karter even digs his boot in!
The fans boo but The Frat House gets away with that. Griff stands on Sammy, then steps off at 4. The ref has to keep Dustin back, Jameson gets another cheap shot in. Griff scoops Sammy, puts him in a Tree of Woe, then stomps a mudhole in! Tag to Karter, he stomps away on Sammy, then he tags Griff. Griff stomps away on Sammy, taunts Dustin, btu Dustin storms in! Griff scrambles away but the Frat House just keeps beating Sammy down! Griff drags Sammy to a cover, TWO! The fans rally for Sammy but Griff tags Karter. They mug Sammy, and Karter reels Sammy in. Sammy fights the suplex, but Karter fires body shots!
Karter suplexes, but Sammy slips free! Sammy shoves Karter, dodges him, but DOUBLE LARIATS collide! The fans fire up while both men are down! Karter and Sammy crawl, but Griff storms in. The ref stops Griff, but that lets Vance YANK Dustin down and CLOBBER him! The fans boo but Karter stomps away on Sammy! Karter drags Sammy up, bumps him off buckles, and he tags Griff. They RAM Sammy into the corner, then Karter sends Griff in for a SPLASH! Griff feeds Sammy to Karter’s KNEE, and Griff BOOTS Sammy down! Cover, TWO! The fans cheer but Griff grows frustrated. Griff keeps Sammy down with a facelock.
Sammy endures, the fans rally up, and Sammy fights up. Dustin reaches out, Sammy powers forward, but Griff CLUBS away on Sammy’s back! Griff then shifts around to back suplex, but Sammy lands out! Karter swings on Sammy, Sammy ducks and GAMANGIRIS! Griff runs up, Sammy leaps over! Hot tag to Dustin! The fans fire up as Dustin rallies on Griff! Dustin whips, Griff reverses, but “Not Today!” UPPERCUT for Griff! Karter runs in, into a SNAP POWERSLAM! Griff runs in, into a SNAP POWERSLAM! Cover, Karter breaks it! The Frat House stays in this but Sammy slides back in. Sammy runs up, wrenches Karter, and hits a CUTTER!
The fans fire up, Griff runs at Sammy but Sammy puts him in the corner! Sammy RAMS into Griff, goes outside to ENZIGIRI, and Griff staggers. Sammy aims from the apron and the fans fire up. But Jameson & Vance are there, so Sammy ARIHARA MOONSAULTS them down! The fans fire up, Griff runs up, but Sammy ROCKS Griff first! Sammy springboards, FLYING CUTTER! Dustin CHOPS Karter, and spreads him open in the corner! The fans fire up! Vance protests, the ref stops him, SHATTERED DREAMS for Karter! Griff is furious, eh runs up, but Dustin drop toeholds Griff into the corner!
And wait! The Dark Order is headed out here! They are very much upset with how The Frat House ruined their match last week, so Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds want to settle things with them! Vance & Jameson say fine, but then Dustin hits Griff with FINAL RECKONING! Tag to Sammy and he goes up for the SWANTON BOMB! Cover, Sons of Texas win!
Winners: Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara, by pinfall (deny The Frat House a title opportunity)
Uno & Reynolds shrug, but they got their payback all the same. Dustin & Sammy hold up the belts and they point to the All In sign in the rafters. Will the Sons of Texas get to go All In in Texas?
The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling VS The Outrunners!
Speaking of last week, Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari are feeling good after they won, but it was largely in part thanks to The Dark Order. “Smart” Mark has the mic to stop Bobby Cruise, he takes care of this. Everyone knows Daivari & Nese, “and folks, statistically, Milwaukee is actually the capital of deadbeat dads. But that’s okay, because we hate your kids, too. But tonight, they can for the first time ever, be part of a real winning family. And you can be part of our team. So when I say ‘Athletes,’ you say, ‘Rule.’ NOTHING ELSE. Hands in, boys. Ohhhh…! ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Milwaukee gets the better of Sterling, this is quite the losing streak.
But then Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd make their entrance, and the fans here in The Good Land fire up! Will The Youngest Men Alive keep their ROH win streak alive? Or will Nese & Daivari find a way to go back to back for once?
The teams sort out, Truth and Daivari start, and the Code of Honor is barely upheld. The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Truth headlocks, but Daivari powers up and out. Truth RAMS shoulders with Daivari, but neither man falls. Daivari dares Truth to try that again, so Truth runs and he RAMS Daivari again! Daivari flexes, Truth runs, but Daivari drops down. Truth ducks ‘n’ hurdles, then he CLOBBERS Daivari! The fans fire up while Truth flexes. Daivari frowns but Turbo tags in. Turbo and Daivari circle while the fans rally up. Daivari wants the Test of Strength, and Turbo obliges, but then Daivari kicks low!
Daivari bumps Turbo off buckles, tags in Nese, and the Premier Athletes mug Turbo! The ref counts, Nese & Daivari let off, and they shout, “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” They never learn… Daivari & Nese double whip, Turbo ducks ‘n’ dodges, Truth tags in before Turbo DOUBLE LARIATS! The fans fire up again and The Outrunners have Nese in a corner. Truth fires hands, then he whips Turbo in for an ELBOW! Truth SPLASHES Daivari, then feeds Daivari to Turbo’s BULLDOG LARIAT COMBO! The fans fire up, Truth DROPKICKS Nese and Turbo DROPKICKS Daivari! Sterling grabs a mic to shout at The Outrunners!
Sterling claims that in Milwaukee, it is illegal to hit dropkicks, “especially when you’re as ugly as you, pal!” The fans boo, but Truth storms out after Sterling! Sterling runs away, but ends up in the ring! Nese uses that to DROPKICK Truth! Nese tags Daivari, they mug Truth, but the ref reprimands. Nese ROCKS Truth again and again, then Daivari shoves Truth down. Daivari soaks up the heat, then hits a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Daivari brings Truth around to TOSS him out, then he argues with the ref. This lets Sterling and Nese get stomps in on Truth! The fans boo, Daivari goes out to fetch Truth, and whips him into railing!
The fans boo but Daivari puts Truth back in the ring. Tag to Nese, Daivari stomps Truth down, and Nese stays between The Outrunners. The fans chant “Athletes Suck!” but Nese UPPERCUTS Truth! Truth goes to ropes and Nese flexes. Nese brings Truth around to scoop and SLAM! Nese then says he’ll show us who sucks! Nese runs up, but Truth avoids the leg drop! The fans fire up, but Daivari runs in! Truth avoids the splash! Truth reaches out, Nese runs up but Truth TOSSES him out! The fans fire up, but Nese YANKS Turbo down! The fans boo but Daivari drags Truth back to stomp away! The ref reprimands but Nese tags in.
The fans rally for Truth but Nese holds him up. Daivari runs, but Truth gets free! Daivari CLOBBERS Nese! Hot tag to Turbo! Turbo fires off haymakers on Daivari! He DECKS Daivari, scoops and SLAMS Nese, then he scoops and SLAMS Daivari! Truth then scoops and SLAMS Nese onto Daivari! Turbo shouts at Daivari to get up, and he reels him in!

Truth scares Sterling off, but Nese CLOBBERS Truth! Daivari slips free of Turbo!
Nese mule kicks Turbo, knee lifts, then SUPERKICKS! Turbo is down, Daivari is up! CARPET RIDE!! Cover, TWO!! Turbo survives and the fans fire up! Nese drags Turbo up, Daivari joins in, but Truth saves Turbo from the double suplex! The Outrunners fire haymakers on The Athletes, then double whip. And DOUBLE BACK ELBOW! Daivari is down, The Outrunners wind up, and “Turbo Floyd! You sonova b*tch!” They shake hands, and DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! The fans fire up again as Turbo scoops Daivari! Truth runs in, but Nese saves Daivari now! Nese ROCKS Truth, shoves Turbo into a THROAT CHOP!
Nese PLANCHAS Truth, and then Daivari puts Turbo on the apron! Turbo RAMS into Daivari, slingshots up and over, but Daivari stays up! He sits on the sunset flip, but he holds the ropes! TWO!! Turbo is free, and he LARIATS Daivari! Nese is back, Turbo LARIATS him! Turbo flexes and the fans are loving it! But Nese distracts the ref and Sterling CLUBS Turbo from behind! Turbo just frowns and Sterling is upset. The fans tell Sterling he messed up! Turbo grabs Sterling by the tie, then winds up… to DECK Sterling! Sterling flounders, Turbo scoops Daivari! Truth runs up, TOTAL RECALL! Cover, Outrunners win!
Winners: The Outrunners, by pinfall
That’s 4-0 for Truth & Turbo, and it’s back to zero days since The Premier Athletes last lost! Will the Outrunners be in the running for an ROH World Tag Team Championship opportunity?
The Dark Order VS The Infantry!
We already saw Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds get even with The Frat House earlier tonight, and now it’s time for them to rebound from that loss. Will The Dark Order finally return to their former glory? Or will Captain Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo simply put them outta their misery with Two 2 Da Head?
