Lluvia, La Jarochita, and La Avispa Dorada vs Dayls, Amapola, and La Seductora

Seductora and Dorada start out with some grappling. Seductora is dressed like a police woman. Amapola and Jarochita come in next and Amapola works her over. Jarochita hits a hurricanrana followed by an arm drag, then knees to the corner. Amapola falls out of the ring, then Jarochita poses. Dayls is in next with Lluvia and they go back and forth until Dayls ties her up in the ropes and hits a drop kick. There’s now chaos in the ring and it concludes when Lluvia counters Dayls with a bulldog for the fall. First Fall: Lluvia pins Dayls with a bulldog.

Dorada and Seductora start the round out with Seductora getting the quick advantage. Dorada counters by hitting a few head scissors then a drop kick.

(Hair and Mask vs Hair and Mask) Akuma and Camorra vs Yago and Hijo del Signo

Match starts with a brawl. Signo dives on Camorra and Akuma does a middle rope dive to take out Yago. In the ring now, Akuma and Camorra team up on Signo. Yago grabs Camorra’s leg to make them fail a double team attack. Signo then hits a victory roll on Akuma for the pin. He then spine busters and puts Camorra in a leg lock for the fall. First Fall: Hijo del Signo submits Camorra with a leg lock.

They brawl on the outside to start this round off. Yago suplexed Camorra in the crowd area and now they’re teaming up on Akuma. A double drop kick is hit on Akuma while he’s tied up in the ropes. Akuma dodges a double team attack, where Signo drop kicks Yago. Signo then does a springboard attack which Akuma counters with a drop kick for the pin. Camorra comes in and hits an arm drag on Yago into a rings of saturn for the submission. Second Fall: Camorra submits Yago with a rings of saturn.

They’re again brawling on the outside to start this round. Camorra and Akuma work on Signo and hit a double drop kick in the corner while he hangs on the tree of woe. This match has gotten very sloppy this round. The crowd isn’t really into it, which I guess makes sense. It’s a mask and hair match involving undercard guys. Yago and Signo regain some momentum after a double team attack went wrong for Camorra and Akuma. Signo goes to the outside and Akuma hits a middle rope dive on him. Camorra then hits a splash off the top on him as well. Yago then does a dive over the top. Akuma then leaps over the ref and performs a dive. To no crowd reaction.

Akuma hits a power bomb on Yago but Signo breaks up the count. Akuma hits a muscle buster on Signo, then goes for a power bomb but Signo reverses it into a hurricanrana. Camorra breaks up the pin. Camorra gets Signo in a very sloppy pin but Yago breaks it up. Yago hits a brain buster on Camorra which looked like a 3 but I guess it wasn’t. Signo goes for a middle rope dive on Akuma but Akuma grabs him mid air and throws him into the barricade. That looked nasty. Akuma drapes Yago on the barricade then hits a drop kick on him. A doctor is checking in on Camorra and they have a neck brace on him. In the ring Akuma pins Signo with a tiger pile driver.

So now Yago and Akuma are squaring off. I guess everyone’s gonna have to get pinned. As it turns out Camorra was pinned before, but it’s hard to tell with these potato refs. In the ring Akuma rips Yago’s mask in half. Luckily he didn’t rip it apart like last time. The fans are finally starting to kind of get into it as the last round goes on. They go to the top and Yago hits him with I guess a face buster but Akuma landed on his knees cause they were high enough, but alas he wins with it. Third Fall: Yago pins Akuma with a face buster off the top.

Luis Florence Martinez appears to be Akuma’s real name. Luis Martinez for sure. Might be off on the middle name.

Winners: Hijo del Signo and Yago

Kraneo, Volcano, and Hijo Del LA Park vs Villano IV, Hijo del Villano III, and El Felino

Poor Hijo del LA Park has to team with Kraneo and Volcano. Hijo Villano III and Park start out, let’s hope Hijo Villano is better than the last time he was here.

First Fall: Hijo Del LA Park pins Hijo del Villano III with a reverse cradle pile driver.

Park starts the round with Villano IV. Hijo Villano comes in and Park gets the better of him this time. Villano IV tries to enter the ring, then trips on the ropes. Fans laugh. IV clearly pissed, just tags in Felino. Volcano comes in and takes out Felino with an arm drag. IV now successfully enters the ring now. IV holds Volcano so Hijo can hit him but Volcano dodges and Hijo hits Villano IV. Volcano then hits Hijo with a shotgun drop kick. Felino tries to scoop slam Kraneo and he can’t because Kraneo is simply too fat. Hijo Villano comes in and hits a sunset flip on Kraneo, then moves to avoid the squash attack.

Second Fall: Hijo del Villano III pins Kraneo with a double suplex, followed by a top rope splash and then two sentons from Felino and Villano IV.

Kraneo gets teamed up on to start this round. They continue their attack on Park, hitting a drop kick to his inner thigh. Then they perform a 3 man back drop on Volcano. Hijo Villano hits a top rope hurricanrana on Kraneo. He must have some strong legs. Hijo Park hits a back breaker on Hijo Villano to make the come back.

Fenix, Pentagon Jr, and Dragon Lee vs Cuatrero, Forastero, and Templario

Finally we see the return of Fenix. Dragon Lee and Templario start out the match and they start out hot with acrobatic moves. No chain wrestling here. Lee hits a drop kick on him and goes for a dive but Forastero kicks him to the outside. This match has broken down fast as it turns into them trading spots and brawling. Templario hits a drop kick to Lee’s inner thigh on the outside. Penta and Fenix are brought into the ring and they both get thrown into the corner.

In the ring Pentagon hits the Pentagon driver on Templario but Forastero breaks it up. Cuatrero hits a big german suplex on Lee. Penta comes from behind and hits a back stabber. Templario then hits a power bomb lung blower on Penta. Fenix then takes out the rest with strikes and everyone’s laid out.

In the ring it’s Dragon Lee and Cuatrero. Cuatrero gets Lee on the top rope but Lee counters it and hits the double stomp while Cuatrero is hung up in the ropes for the win. Third Fall: Dragon Lee defeats Cuatrero with a double stomp in the ropes.

Post match Pentagon and Fenix beat on Dragon Lee. This is probably because Lee threw Pentagon out of the ring earlier because he was in the way. Don’t mess with the lucha bros. Penta takes off Lee’s mask.

Winners: Fenix, Pentagon Jr, and Dragon Lee

Cody Rhodes is directed to his locker room.

Wait, his locker room? Yes, courtesy of The Final Boss. Cody walks with these bodyguards, is The Rock just going to keep pouring on the reasons Cody should be his champion?

Trish Stratus is here!

Toronto’s own heads to the ring just 24 hours before her return to in-ring action with Elimination Chamber! The fans cheer, and not just because she’s wearing a Maple Leafs jersey. The fans chant, “Thank You, Trish!” while she gets the mic, and she smiles as they keep going. Trish jokingly says it’s the jersey. She also thanks Lilian Garcia for the introduction. What year is it? Lilian as the ring announcer, The Rock is hanging around, and Trish is wrestling! And what a better place than right here in her hometown of Toronto! The fans cheer that! But do you know what she loves about wrestling? The generational impact.

Like this little girl up front. More likely than not, her dad had a poster of Trish on his wall when he was the daughter’s age. The guy doesn’t deny it! Trish asks if it was the heels and the crawling. Anyway, speaking of generational impact, when she wrestles in the Roger Center tomorrow, it will be the very first time that her kids see her wrestle live. Trish points to Max & Natty, and says celebrating her 25th anniversary in 2025, mixing it up with the next generation is just incredible to her. The fans again chant “Thank You, Trish!” Trish is beyond excited to be teaming up with someone who has taken this women’s division by storm!

Trish asks the fans get on their feet as she introduces the WWE Women’s Champion, Tiffany Stratton! Toronto cheers because now, it’s #TiffyTime! Tiffy tries on her own Maple Leaf jersey while she struts to the ring. The fans cheer and Tiff gets her own mic. Trish asks Toronto, “What time is it?” “TIFFY TIME!” Trish & Tiff say it’s also Trishy Time! Then they reveal the names on their jerseys are Tiffy & Trishy! Let’s show some love to the fans! They take the jerseys off, give them some kisses, then THROW them to the crowd! A couple lucky individuals get great souvenirs, and Tiff says it’s like they’re in sync!

Trish agrees, it is like they’ve been hanging out together, doing training and yoga. And that is why tomorrow night, they beat Nia Jax & Candice LeRae, right here in Toronto! “Shh… It’s Chelsea Green~!” The Hot Mess in Chief interrupts, “Mounty” Piper coming along. Chelsea says this is a snooze fest! No one wants dumb ‘n’ dumber hogging TV time. Chelsea deserves time! She is the Women’s United States Champion! Toronto has plenty of Chelsea fans, and Chelsea says just like Austin Matthews, she’s the best thing to step into the Scotia Bank Arena! But see, unlike Austin Matthews, Chelsea wins titles!

The fans boo that diss, but Chelsea just blows kisses. Chelsea tells “Trishy” that the minute Chelsea left this dump, everything got better than her! She became a champion, and she is honored to represent America, because guess what? They’re better in America! Tiff is from America, Chelsea doesn’t represent her. Oh, sorry, Chelsea doesn’t represent losers! It is not Tacky Time, it is Green Time! Leave it to the real champions who don’t need Mommy to dress them! Oh, well if Chelsea thinks she’s so special, let’s see who the real Center of the Universe is! Tiff wants a match, tonight! Chelsea says no, she has plans!

Oh, no, Trish thinks it is a great idea, though. Toronto does too, right? “YES!” Then if Aldis also thinks it’s a good idea, he can send a ref. Chelsea says no! Don’t you dare! Too late! Here comes a ref! Well, whoever was the mystery opponent for Chelsea, they’ll just have to find something else to do. We get Champion VS Champion, after the break!

Chelsea Green w/ Piper Niven VS Tiffany Stratton w/ Trish Stratus!

SmackDown returns and Chelsea already has Tiff in a facelock. Chelsea salutes, but Tiff rolls her up! TWO, and Chelsea ENZGIRIS! Then a BASEMENT FLATLINER! Cover, TWO! Chelsea is furious but she clamps on a chinlock. Chelsea grinds Tiff but the fans rally up. Tiff fights up, snapmares free, but Chelsea pulls hair! The ref reprimands, but Tiff hits a BIG back suplex! Both women are down, the fans rally up, and Tiff runs up to fire haymakers and counter punches! Chelsea flails, but Tiff LARIATS! And LARIATS! Tiff avoids a boot to LARIAT again! The fans fire up while Chelsea goes to a corner. Tiff handsprings to BACK ELBOW!

Tiff keeps going, but Chelsea runs up! Tiff hits a SKY HIGH! High stack, TWO! Chelsea survives but Tiff stays focused. Tiff drags Chelsea up with an Alabama Lift, but Chelsea sunset flips! TWO, and Tiff- NO, Chelsea avoids the stomps! Chelsea rolls Tiff, Tiff rolls through, ROUGH RYDER! Cover, TWO!! Chelsea is furious that Tiff survives, but she hurries to hook the arms. Tiff stops the Unpretty Her, and fireman’s carries! ROLLING SENTON, then the TIFFY STOMPS! Chelsea sputters, Toronto fires up, but Piper hurries to get Chelsea out of the ring! So Trish SMACKS Piper off the apron! Tiff goes up to SUPER CANNONBALL!

The fans are thunderous as Tiff takes out Chelsea AND Piper! Tiff then hurries to get Chelsea in the ring, then she- OH NO, Candice & Nia attack Trish! Tiff isn’t sure what to do, but she grabs Nia by her hair! Nia TRIPS Tiff, then drags her out!

Winner: Tiffany Stratton, by disqualification

Nia TOSSES Tiff over the commentary desk! The fans boo but Nia shoves Tiff down. Candice puts Trish in the ring, SMACKS her off the mat, and Nia applauds. The fans boo but Tiff is back! Nia HEADBUTTS her down! And HEADBUTTS her again! Candice and Nia stomp Trish to the drop zone, then Nia goe sup! But Tiff DECKS Candice! Nia goes back after Tiff, Tiff fires hands! Nia HEADBUTTS Tiff again! Now Tiff is put in the drop zone! But Trish ROCKS Candice, dodges Nia, and fires fast hands! The fans fire up, and Tiff returns! ASSISTED DROPKICK! Nia tumbles out, Tiff DROPKICKS Candice!

Trish says go up! Tiff goes to the corner, but Nia drags Candice to safety! Trishy & Tiffy thwart all their enemies, but it’s only a matter of time before the tag match goes down! Will it still be Tiffy Time in Toronto? Or will the Irresistible Force & Poison Pixie ruin her good time on the Road to WrestleMania?

Nick Aldis speaks.

“There seems to be some concern, some debate, some dispute, over the United States Championship #1 Contenders status. LA Knight believes he’s the #1 contender, while the champion, Shinsuke Nakamura, has voiced his concerns, as well. So tonight, I’ve decided that I’m going to give six men the opportunity to lay their cards out on the table and create a definitive #1 contender tonight. LA Knight will go one-on-one with Santos Escobar, Carmelo Hayes will go one-on-one with Braun Strowman, and Andrade will go one-on-one with Solo Sikoa. The winners of those matches will go on to a Triple Threat match tonight, and the winner of that match will be THE #1 contender for the United States Championship. And that all goes down tonight on SmackDown.”

The GM has spoken, but who will use this golden opportunity to rise up and face the King of Strong Style?

Solo Sikoa meets up with Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga.

The Samoan Werewolf tells the former Head of the Table that last week was an accident. Yadada mean? Solo says yeah, he’s sure it was. Jacob says besides all that, what’s up with Solo? We heard Solo’s got a qualifier match for the US title. Solo says yes, as a matter of fact, he does. After last week, that made him realize that this family needs to make a statement. That statement starts with them taking the US Championship. That is what Solo wants Jacob to do. Jacob needs to represent the family, bring the title home to the family. Solo wants them to understand that everything he is doing is to show Jacob how much he loves Jacob.

Jacob quietly accepts this, and then Solo looks to Tama. Tama stays silent, but will this all work out in their favor?

We check in on Cody in his private locker room.

“Quite the spread” would be an understatement for the veritable feast prepared for The American Nightmare. Again, courtesy of The Final Boss. Cody chuckles, and then R-Truth says try the shrimp! Whoa, Truth, what’re you doing in Cody’s dressing room? Oh, is this Cody’s room? Sorry. But nice spread. How’d he get it like this? Well, seems this is just for considering selling your soul to The Rock. Oh, well, he is The Soul Man. Truth used to watch him and Tony Atlas when he was little. Maybe Cody should think about it. Look at all this nice stuff. But is he keeping it all to himself? Don’t be shellfish now.

Cody says that’s a good point. Have more, Truth! Cody doesn’t mind. Then can Rock get them jelly rolls? Sure. Truth appreciates that. Truth eats up, but will Cody really sell out?

WWE United States Championship Contender’s Tournament: Andrade VS Jacob Fatu!

El Idolo was going to face the former Tribal Chief, the Street Champion of the Island, but now he has to worry about an even more dangerous opponent. Will Andrade still make his way back to the US Championship? Or will the rogue Bloodline have their own redemption story?

SmackDown returns and Jacob makes his entrance. The bell rings and the two circle. The fans rally up, the two tie up, and Andrade headlocks. Jacob powers up and out as fans cheer on “FATU! FATU!” Andrade goes up and over in the corner, headlocks again, but Jacob powers up and out. Jacob CLOBBERS Andrade, the fans are torn, but Jacob runs in at the corner. Andrade dodges and CHOPS! Andrade whips, Jacob reverses, but Andrade goes up and out this time! Andrade ROCKS Jacob, then goes up the corner! CROSSBODY! Andrade bounces off, Jacob stands up, and then Jacob runs in. Andrade DUMPS him out!

Andrade slingshots to FLYING RANA! Jacob tumbles away while Toronto fires up with Andrade! Andrade then gets another wild idea! He goes back up the corner, to the very top! ARIHARA MOONSAULT! Direct hit into Jacob, both men hit barriers, and the fans are losing their minds while SmackDown goes picture in picture!

Andrade catches his breath and stands up with help from the barrier. He storms up on Jacob, puts him in the ring, then goes back to the corner. The fans seem to give Andrade the energy to climb again, but Jacob trips him up! Andrade lands on his idolo, then tumbles to the floor. Jacob goes out to fetch Andrade, and SMACKS him off the desk! Andrade staggers, Jacob puts him in the ring, then Jacob rains down fists! Jacob HEADBUTTS Andrade, looms over him, then paces around him. Jacob clamps on with a neck wrench! Andrade endures as Jacob twists his head, and he fights around as the fans rally up.

Andrade fires a body shot, Jacob HEADBUTTS him! Then Jacob whips Andrade hard into a corner! Andrade falls, Jacob stands him back up, but Andrade JAWBREAKERS free! Andrade runs, into a POP-UP SAMOAN DROP! Jacob snarls and storms around, then stalks Andrade to a corner. Jacob HEADBUTTS Andrade again, and again, then runs corner to corner, for a SPLASH! Andrade falls, Jacob snarls, and then Jacob goes to a corner. Jacob runs corner to corner as SmackDown returns to single picture, only for Andrade to BOOT him first! Jacob comes back, but into more BOOTS! Andrade runs, but into another pop-up!

Andrade spins around to POISON-RANA! The fans are thunderous while both men are down! “This is Awesome!” as both men slowly rise. Andrade counter punches Jacob again and again, then LARIATS! Jacob stays up, even as Andrade LARIATS again! Andrade runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then FLYING FOREARMS! Both men are down, but Andrade kips up! The fans cheer, Jacob goes to a corner, and Andrade rallies the fans with “SI! SI! SI!” Andrade goes corner to corner, but Jacob BODY CHECKS him!! Jacob sees Andrade go to a corner, then runs in for a HIP ATTACK! Andrade dodges! And GAMANGIRIS!

Jacob sits down, Andrade fires back up, and “SI! SI! SI!” Andrade runs for CIEN SHADOWS! Andrade puts Jacob in the drop zone, then goes up the corner! MOONSAULT DOUBLE! Cover, TWO!! Jacob survives and Andrade can’t believe it! “This is Awesome!” as Andrade thinks on what more he must do. Andrade stalks Jacob, drags him up, and reels him in, but Jacob fights the lift! Jacob backdrops, then stops the sunset flip to HIP DROP! Andrade goes to a corner, Jacob HIP ATTACKS! And HIP ATTACKS! And then an IMPALER DDT!! But that’s not all! BEST MOONSAULT EVER!! Cover, Jacob wins!

Winner: Jacob Fatu, by pinfall (advances to the Triple Threat)

The Samoan Werewolf devoured El Idolo, and now he’s the first piece of the puzzle! Who will join him in tonight’s main event?

Nick Aldis talks with The Street Profits.

The SmackDown GM just wants to know what is going on with Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins lately. Ford says they’ll keep it 100: three months on the shelf, then not getting their tag title match that was promised… They’re not stopping what they’re doing until they get what they want. While Aldis does appreciate the initiative, but that’s not how they handle things. But then Legado Del Fantasma walks in. Santos Escobar sarcastically welcomes The Profits back, because that means they can finally apologize to Santos and Los Garza. So let’s hear it. Dawkins says nah, Santos. They apologize for nothing.

Oh, even better. Because they’ll just beat it out of the Profits! Dawkins says let’s go then. Aldis has Santos stand down, save that energy for LA Knight. Santos can be just two wins away from facing the US Champion. Now, as for Profits and Los Garza, they’ll get a match tonight with serious implications towards the tag team titles. Aldis suggests they all cool off and get ready for their matches. Ford says, “Say less, boss.” The Profits head out, Santos says they’ll discuss that apology later. Will Dawkins & Ford apologize to absolutely nobody on their way back to the top? Or can Angel y Berto humble them before that smoke rises?

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 2.27.2025

The card looks like a filler episode…let’s find out!

Published

Andrew Balaz

Not completely sure how to feel about this card. It feels like a lot of fodder that probably won’t lead anywhere and just hopes that the Hardys and Oba can carry people’s interest to the end. TNA is continuing the tradition from last year of maybe having one month of decent booking and then looking blind and inept for a while. Like if you look up the definition for “The Blind Leading the Blind”, it shows you a picture of the TNA booking room.

Well let’s see if I hate this episode or if something interesting manifests.

Ratings:

Oro Mensah vs Mike Santana: Santana wins via Spin the Block – ** 3/4
Tessa Blanchard vs Kelsey Heather: Tessa wins via Buzzsaw DDT – ** 1/4
KC Navarro w/AJ Francis vs Steve Maclin: Maclin wins via K.I.A. – ***
TNA Knockouts Tag Titles: The Elegance Clique w/Personal Concierge vs Spitfire (c): Spitfire retain via Pressure Drop – ** 1/2
Mance Warner w/SDL vs Sami Callihan: Mance wins via DQ – N/A
Ace Austin vs Frankie Kazarian: Kaz wins via Slingshot Cutter – ** 1/4
The Hardys & Oba Femi vs Moose, Brian Myers & Eddie Edwards w/JDC & Lish: The System wis via Lights Out – ***

Results:

The System opens the show and the only one getting any real wrestling reaction is Moose gets the ole “Oba’s Gonna Kill You”. The crowd is disinterested in anything the others say, even trying to get themselves over at different points. System isn’t doing themselves any favors either because this is the most cookie cutter heel exposition promo. To add to lack of interest, The System call out The Colons to join them. Colons come out to no reaction and play the “smart heel” angle of “Why fight them when we can just join them”. So for now they’re all friends, but who knows…and Full Sail definitely doesn’t care.

Oh a Spitfire promo that is cringe. I love Dani Luna, but Jody is just Millennial Cringe as a person. Every time she speaks I get both bored and annoyed at the same time.

Oro Mensah vs Mike Santana

Sadly my browser decided to have a heart attack and disconnect after the first 20 minutes and didn’t save the already typed information. So this will be extremely abbreviated because I don’t remember exactly how it played out.

They start off with trading so Wrist Lock Arm Drags and Wringers before a few strikes give Santana the advantage, which is then immediately cut off with Oro hitting a Satellite Arm Drag. Some back and forth where Santana has the advantage, but Oro manages to counter a Back Body Drop by rolling back and Santana immediately pulls off the Rolling Buck Fifty for a two count.

Oro hits a combination of strikes, tries to hook Santana’s head for a cradle but he fights back. He hits Call of Autumn but again only a near fall. Decent back and forth but Santana punctuates things well bouncing Oro off the corner buckles and then laying him out with a Spin the Block.

Tessa Blanchard vs Kelsey Heather

Tessa comes out of the gates hot, just raining down forearms, fast and aggressive. Kelsey manages to catch Tessa with a Spinning Head Scissors and that just annoys Tessa. So a swift kick and Snap Suplex into the bottom buckle keeps the enhancement talent rocked. John Woo drop kick, Running Forearm, Whips her into the opposite corner and charges, Kelsey screams and covers up so Tessa stops and just Slaps Kelsey for good measure. A few Cradles from Kelsey gave her a moment of effort, but a Cutter into the Buzzsaw DDT and Tessa wins.

KC Navarro w/AJ Francis vs Steve Maclin

Rope run start and it’s a lot of KC dodging, misdirection and leaping over Steve. Maclin gives him a look after KC poses and acts arrogant after the one flip counter, KC sortuv apologizes and then Maclin just lights him up. No Fun Maclin beats on KC, throws him into the center of the ring and lays him out with a Sliding Lariat. KC powders, so AJ starts distracting Maclin with words, KC Stun Guns Maclin and takes the referee’s attention so AJ gets in some cheapshots and then drops him face first on the apron. AJ tries to throw in KC for the easy win, but Maclin kicks out at one.

A little more offense and a Double Stomp from KC but only a one count again. The Northern Armoury stalks down the ramp so both KC and AJ are a little distracted but KC maintains his control after a few strikes and Slingblade. But two Lariats and a Thesz Press has KC reeling, Olympic Slam gets Maclin a two count. KC manages to kick Maclin’s legs out from under him while trying to set up, KC nails the Frog Splash, but Maclin kicks out at two. 305 from KC, another Frog Splash misses, Satellite DDT attempt but Maclin holds on, smirks and kisses KC Navarro on the forehead before Deep Sixing him! Tree of Woe, Caught in the Crosshairs, K.I.A. and Steve wins.

TNA Knockouts Tag Titles: The Elegance Clique w/Personal Concierge vs Spitfire (c)

Ash and Jody start, and its…I don’t know. Posturing, a weird looking Headlock Takeover from Jody. Just…ugh, and not because of Ash. Jody tries a Rollup but only gets a one and Ash immediately tags out. Heather looks a little deer in headlights, but charges and immediately gets smashed into the Spitfire corner and they start teaming up and isolating the my size Barbie. Sliding Lariat, Fun Splash, just really quick tandem offense keeps Heather on the receiving end. Concierge distracts the ref and Jody, so Ash and Heather take advantage of the situation with Heather hitting the Codebreaker and now the Clique are isolating Jody.

Jody manages to catch Heather’s foot, kick her back, make space and simultaneous tags to Dani and Ash. Dani brutalizes Ash, throws her all around, Ash starts crawling towards Heather and Dani snaps off a great Snap German before she gets to her corner twice. Takes too long for the third and Heather manages to pull her forward into the ropes. Tandem Backstabber/Double Stomp from Elegance but Jody breaks it up. Dani manages to tag out, Jody nearly hits Pop Shove It on Heather, but she slips it, tags out but Ash hits an immediate Michinoku Driver.

Dani has really great aggression in this match, Ash tags out but Spitfire manage to crash Ash to the floor, Heather is surprised and Dani just hits the Outside IN Rope Assisted German Suplex. Heather looks out of it (purely selling), they hit the Pressure Drop and retain so now the heels need to be the Personal Concierges. Heather slowly rolls to the apron to cry with Ash that they now have to work for Spitfire.

Mance Warner w/SDL vs Sami Callihan

Warner charges at the bell, Sami sidesteps and hits a Stunner sending Mance to powder. Sami grabs a chair, starts hitting him with the chair and the match is thrown out.

This is stupid, why even say there’s gonna be a match to DQ it in 30 seconds and just do a brawl with another pull apart. You can build to a No DQ match without booking the card into a corner.

Ace Austin vs Frankie Kazarian

Ace starts quick, grounded Enzuigiri, a few quick strikes, a pop over the rope, Ace tries to outsmart Kaz but not jumping into the Cutter, but when he does Springboard Kaz just lays on the ropes to cause Ace to crash. Kaz takes full control of the situation, some simple offense into the Springboard Guillotine Leg Drop. Kaz even does the Shawn Michaels pose since Ace likes to to it. Ace fires a little with a flurry of cradles but a Wrestler’s Bridge gets Kaz out of the locomotion Cradles. Kaz tries a quick cheapshot to the leg, but Ace doesn’t stop coming forward. Click Click Boom, the Seated Lariat into 10 Count Lariats in the corner followed by the Triangle Kick sending Kaz retreating to the floor. Ace wants the Fosbury Flop but Kaz hides towards Tyson, Tyriek and Wes Lee who are at commentary.

Ace is of course somewhat distracted but laying in kicks until his temper gets the best of him and he mouths off to the heel trio. Kaz tries to take advantage, but Ace dodges and sees Wes out of the corner of his eye so he gets distracted again, Kaz Slingshots him in for the Slingshot Cutter and that’s all she wrote. Kaz wins and the NXT Trio start beating on Ace until The Rascalz run down with chairs in hand.

The Hardys & Oba Femi vs Moose, Brian Myers & Eddie Edwards w/JDC & Lish

Moose calls Oba out, looks like he wants to start off but tags out in expected heel fashion. Eddie gets tagged in and tries to shove Oba but Oba gets annoyed and throws Eddie around, Myers comes in just to eat a Double Clothesline as the Hardys then run in to lay em out over the ropes.

We come back from commercial to a Poetry in Motion and Lish get on the apron to distract the referee so let the System take some short cuts and a few quick tags but Myers is the legal on now. Isolating Jeff, Eddie gets tagged in and distracts the ref so Lish can choke Hardy from outside but Jeff hits the Jawbreaker for space. Eddie tags out to Moose, Moose tries to clear the enemy apron but only gets Oba, a Twist of Hate from Jeff gets the time needed to tag in Matt! Matt hits the Delete Head Smashes, Tornado DDT, Side Effect…and Eddie breaks up the pin. Eddie tries to Dive on Oba but Oba catches him and Chokeslams him into the apron. Plot Twist on Moose in the ring! 1-2-Myers barely makes the save by shoving Jeff into the ref. Signature spam momentit comes down to Oba and Moose. Oba eats a Carbon Foot Print from Moose and stays standing, hits a Backbreaker to drop Moose, the Colons interfere enough for Moose to hit the Spear on Oba! Matt also eats a Spear after cracking Matt with a bejeweled ring fist and then Lights Out from Moose, The System wins!

Post-Match Elijah and Hendry run out to stop the post match beatdown. Santino Marella comes out with Sacrifice announcements. Jeff vs Moose for the X Division Title in a Ladder Match. Then a 10 man, the remnants of The System vs Matt Hardy and Joe Hendry’s choice of 3 extra dudes.

Overall Score: 4/10

This whole show dragged, the crowd was dead for most of the show, the predictable things happened and most of the stuff was very low influence. Tessa having her first match back on iMPACT in like 4 years was irrelevant, the backstage segment with her and Lei Ying Lee wasn’t bad though. The System isn’t really getting any reactions which is embarrassing when even NXT has tried to frame them decently, and the Full Sail crowd doesn’t care. The Elegances are comedy so their stuff is fine, and they’re actually somewhat enjoyable…but Spitfire…mainly Jody, is freakin useless. Mance and Sami has been directionless with no heat. Mustafa’s cabinet has some potential but already getting pitted against Santana feels like a byproduct of a bad main event/upper mid card scene.

I nearly fell asleep a few times with how boring this damn show was. It wasn’t insanely offensive, but it was sooooo…boring. Dreamer’s era of booking makes me long for the Russo years because at least the stories were interesting even if they were inane and edgy just for the sake of it. God…I didn’t think anything would make me look fondly upon Russo booking. Eww…I feel dirty…I’m going to sleep now.
