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

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

Published

February 27, 2025

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.

La Catalina VS Lady Frost!

The young Chilean star makes her ROH debut, bringing her impressive CMLL résumé with her. As such, she is already waiting for her title match against THE ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena! Will the Diva of the Ring soon be the Diva of Ring of Honor? Or will Frost cool Catalina’s hot streak before it begins?

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings and the fans fire up. Frost and Catalina tie up, break, then reset. They tie up again, Catalina waistlocks then trips Frost. Catalina Oklahoma Rolls, TWO!

You can’t have another night of lucha in ROH without the Fire of the Sun! Fuego Del Sol is back again, but can he stay hot? Or will the Vanilla Baby put him on ice?

Austin has soured on the Vanilla Baby, but Blake loves all heat! Will Blake take this six match win streak to become a champion?

Athena speaks.

“Congratulations, Catalina. You earned a first class ticket to the Athena World Domination Tour. You beat the little popsicle in your match, I hear you’re one of the best female wrestlers in CMLL. BUT… But you did something wrong. When you come into my show, into my house, you have to introduce yourself. ‘Hola! Como estas, Athena?’ And I say, ‘Bien! Y tu?’ And then I walk away ’cause I don’t care. I am the most dominant champion in all of history! I am the longest-reigning champion in ALL of ROH! You put some respect on my name! I am tired of you b*tches coming into my house and trying to take over my show, without showing a little, little generosity, a little politeness. Manners is what we call them.

“So, I’m gonna give you a little bit of time, girl. And the next time you see me… I won’t be so nice.” Athena has put Catalina on notice, but this match is happening next week! Will Catalina respectfully dethrone the Forever Champion? Or will she be sent back to CMLL with an L?

Gravity VS Dark Panther!

We’ve seen Bandido back in action, and now we see his brother make his own return! Will Gravity bring down the Son of Blue Panther? Or will The Whip of Laguna show us why he’s headed for the ROH World Television Championship?

Speaking of that title, Komander is watching from the crowd, Alex Abrahantes by his side. The fans rally up already, the bell rings, and Panther pushes past the Code of Honor handshake to waistlock and SLAM Gravity! Panther then flips Gravity over, but Gravity kips up to arm-drag!

But Panther grabs the arms to high stack again! TWO as Gravity bridges harder! Then Gravity activates the core, goes up to sunset flip, but Panther rolls through! Lateral press, ONE, and Gravity DROPKICKS Panther out! The fans fire up, Gravity builds speed, and he FLIES! Down goes Panther and the fans fire up! Gravity brings back the space walk, then gets Panther in the ring. The fans cheer, Gravity storms in, but Panther KNEES low!

Panther huffs ‘n’ puffs and drags Gravity up. Panther CHOPS Gravity back down, the fans boo, but Panther brings him up again. Panther whips Gravity then FLAPJACKS! Gravity ends up on ropes, Panther dials it up! Rewind and then the 619! Cover, TWO! Panther keeps Gravity down by dropping a knee on an arm! Panther bends fingers, then drops an elbow on the arm! Gravity rolls away to ropes, but Panther storms up again. The fans rally, Panther drags Gravity up, but Gravity ROCKS him! Panther ROCKS Gravity! The forearms go back and forth, but then Panther KICKS the inside of the knee! The fans boo as Gravity collapses!

Panther stands Gravity up to whip him to the corner, then runs up to SPLASH! Panther runs, but Gravity follows to SPLASH! Gravity runs, Panther follows, but Gravity dodges! Panther hits buckles, then Gravity comes back to handspring arm- NO, Panther puts Gravity on the apron! Gravity ducks the lariat to RAM low! Gravity then slingshots up and over, GERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite his brother’s Blackjack 21 Plex, but Gravity hurries to roll Panther up! TWO, and Gravity fires up! Gravity wheelbarrows, and then victory roll! TWO!! Panther escapes and the fans rally up again!

Gravity and Panther both rise up, and Gravity LARIATS! Panther shakes that off, and the straps come down! Then he catches the lariat into a FUJIWARA ARMBAR! Gravity scrambles around to the ROPEBREAK! Panther lets go at 4, then he stomps Gravity. The fans rally, Panther runs, but Gravity scoops and SLAMS! The fans fire up as Gravity goes to a corner and climbs up. But Panther SHOVES Gravity down! Gravity tumbles, gets to his feet, but Panther DIVES! Down goes Gravity, right into the commentary desk! The fans fire up, Panther gets in the ring and throws off his armbands! Panther builds speed again, and he DIVES! Another direct hit!

The fans fire up as Panther pounds the desk! Panther gets Gravity in the ring, takes aim, and he climbs up the ropes! Panther springboards, but Gravity avoids the elbow drop! Gravity hurries to the corner, the fans rally again, and Gravity goes up top! Gravity DIVING FLOPS as Panther moves! Panther then sits Gravity up, to go up and basement MISSILE DROPKICK! Cover, Panther wins!

Winner: Dark Panther, by pinfall

Gravity falls after getting hit with the Missile of Laguna, and now Komander knows what is in store for his title defense. Will he still be the ROH World Television Champion afterward? Or will Dark Panther soon be golden?

Six Man Tag: Magnus, Soberano Jr. & Volador Jr. VS Mascara Dorada, Atlantis Jr. & Templario!

We saw their fathers battle in tonight’s opening match, and now Soberano Jr. and Atlantis Jr. battle in trios action of their own! Will the Luxury of Lucha lead Astro Boy and The Predator of the Air to victory? Or will it be “like father, like son” as Atlantis wins alongside MD 2.0 and The Lion Warrior?

The fans rally for “Lucha! Lucha!” but Code of Honor is not upheld as Soberano and his team reject the handshakes. Soberano already soaks up heat, but it is Templario and Magnus that start.

The fans rally as Templario brings Magnus up. Templario whips, Magnus reverses, but Templario SUPERKICKS! Tag to Dorada and he goes up, CROSSBODY! Volador gets in, catches Dorada, and Soberano runs up. Dorada mule kicks Soberano, body shots, Volador, then RANA ARM-DRAG COMBOS them both away! The fans fire up but Magnus helps Soberano up. Dorado dodges them, then uses Magnus’ backdrop to FLYING ARM-DRAG Soberano!

Dorada keeps going, tilt-p-whirls and RANAS Magnus! The fans are thunderous as Magnus bails out and Dorada builds speed. Dorada slides, Magnus ducks, and then Magnus pops Dorada up! Dorada goes to the ropes to FLYING RANA! The fans are fired up again and Dorada feeds off that energy! Dorada then hurries to KICK Magnus, put him in the ring, and hurry for a cover. TWO, but Dorada keeps calm. The fans rally with “SI! SI! SI!” and Dorada whips. Magnus reverses, Dorada goes up and up, but Soberano trips him up! Magnus BLASTS Atlantis y Templario while Dorada falls into the Tree of Woe!

The fans boo but Soberano y Volador jump in. Soberano WRECKS Templario while Magnus y Volador stomp away on Dorada! Soberano runs Templario right into railing! Dorada flops out of the Tree, Magnus kicks at Atlantis, and the mugging continues. The fans boo but Soberano just soaks up the heat. Soberano has Dorada on the ropes but Austin, Texas tells him off!

Soberano covers, but he lets off because he wants the ref to show respect! Soberano stomps Dorada, then he flips off Atlantis!

Feed to Volador’s SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO! Atlantis toughs it out but Volador is amused.

Volador wrenches Atlantis, brings him around, and tags Soberano in. The fans rally up, but Soberano and team keep Atlantis back. Soberano uses Atlantis’ own hand to flip off the fans! Then he BITES that finger! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but he also has to keep Dorada y Templario storming in. Soberano whips Atlantis, his team TRIPLE BOOTS him down! Atlantis bails out, so Templario storms in! Magnus blocks a kick, Soberano KICKS the leg! Volador BOOTS Templario down! Magnus y Volador then tie Templario up, MEXICAN SURFBOARD!

Dorada CHOPS Volador, then wrenches an arm. Tag to Templario, he CLUBS the arm, and then whips!

Volador dodges, Templario goes up, but Volador GAMANGIRIS! Volador goes up but Tempalrio gut wrenches! The fans fire up for the SUPER- RANA! Volador counters and the fans are thunderous for “LUCHA!

Atlantis and Magnus jump in as the legal men, and Atlantis dodges Magnus to SNAP POWERSLAM! Atlantis goes up, out, and to the top! FROG SPLASH!! Cover, TEAM ATLANTIS WINS!

Winners: Mascara Dorada, Templario & Atlantis Jr, by pinfall

Like father, like son, the Atlantis Family has won the night! Atlantis Jr. was once ROH World Television Champion, could he find his way back to that title? Could he, Dorada y Templario find their way to the ROH World Six Man Tag titles?

My Thoughts:

A great ROH here with another CMLL crossover, but not a lot of story stuff. This was just an hour and 11 minutes of great wrestling. Though, there’s nothing wrong with enjoying great wrestling, especially under the AEW banner of “Where The Best Wrestle.” Also, this does coincide with NJPW having their Fantastica Mania series, aka their crossover with CMLL. I will say Blake Christian beating Fuego Del Sol was a touch surprising, because Fuego is on his own return push. At the same time, Blake is on a streak, and he is primed for an ROH World TV Championship match with this win.

I do appreciate that what story we did get had to do with setting up title matches. Komander will be facing Dark Panther, so great win for Panther against Gravity. La Catalina also got a very good win over Lady Frost, and Athena had a very good promo to call her out. Athena will certainly beat Catalina, there’s no way Athena is dropping the title on a regular episode of ROH TV after going two years and winning twice against Billie Starkz. Panther could beat Komander given ROH has been looser with the TV title. But as I brought up, Blake is in line for something, so Komander could make it through Panther to then have a killer match with Blake.
