Well let’s hope the matches are interesting or something because this card is such a useless pile of nothing matches. Xia Brookside vs Rosemary went the expected way with Brookside snapping to beat the hell out of Rosemary and get DQ’d. So Xia Darkside is on the horizon and Santino had a good promo with Robert Stone.

I look forward to a prostate exam more than this show…something please don’t suck.

Tessa Blanchard, @MrStoneWWE and @VIX_CROW had words for @AriannaGraceWWE and @milanmiracle ahead of Under Siege!

Results:

Mike Santana vs KC Navarro w/AJ Francis

AJ feigns a ‘turf toe’ injury to randomly call the audible to have KC wrestle Mike. Comedy open, then KC ducks and dodges strikes, rope runs but then gets caught and tossed into a corner. Eats a Hip Attack in the corner and a Back Body Drop for a near fall. Santana mean mugs AJ and then 3 Amigos and a Latino Heat shimmy, only a near fall but it gets a pop.

KC tries to fight back to his feet and then eats a Back Chop and KC looks like he was shot in the chest. AJ was late to the interference as a second, but it at least looked funny. KC hits the 305, drives Santana into the corner, and seats Santana with the Snapmare. KC goes for a either a Satellite move or Blessing in Disguise, Santana stops KC’s momentum and Inside Out Suplex. Santana kips up and rocks KC. KC tries to avoid him, Santana does the following roll and hits the Rolling Buck Fifty. Calls for Spin the Block, but KC hits a Superkick, Pump Kick for Santana, rope runs, Santana tries the Buck Fifty again but KC avoids, strings a lot together, Corner Boot Wash into a Frog Splash for only 2.

KC tries a surprised Blessing, Santana blocks, Body Scissors Victory but Santana rolls with it, KC perches and tries a Cross Body but gets  caught Buckle Bomb into Cannon Ball! 1-2-…oh KC kicked out. My son KC is looking like a million bucks in change. Spin the Block attempt, but KC crumbles to avoid. Santana hits a Jacknife Powerbomb, goes for another but KC flips out of it and eats the Spin the Block.

Santana helped KC up and shakes his hand, AJ attacks him after the fact. KC looks conflicted in helping the beat down. KC is gonna be money, give him the face turn, he’s fantastic. Extend his contract and push him to the damn moon right now.

Eddie Edwards w/Lish vs Cody Deaner

Eddie lands a few chops, hits the ropes and Cody gets the Thesz Press into Ground and Pound but Eddie hits another chop. Mostly Kobashi offense and Lish interfering. Chops, Lariats and Wife. A little jawing from Eddie, he throws Deaner into the ropes, Deaner stops the momentum and Clothesline’s the both to the outside, Deaner tries to fire up with the fans but when he turns he eats the Blue Thunder Bomb on the apron. Eddie wants a count, Deaner beats the count around 8, and Eddie jumps on him.

Deaner fires, no selling Eddie’s onslaught of Chops, Deaner goes to the top, Eddie cuts him off, rocks him, Superplex into the Tiger Driver but only a two count. Eddie starts talking crap to a fan, Cody hits a Dork Right Hand, Shiranui off the steps, rolls Eddie in, goes to the top, Crossbody but only for 2. Deaner calls for DDT, Lish gets on the apron, Eddie pulls out the Planeteer ring, Falcon Punch, but Deaner kicks out.

Eddie is besides himself, Deaner fires, tries to lock in the DDT, Eddie pushes him back to the ropes, Lish with the Uppercut to the Cock, Boston Knee Party and Deaner is gone.

Eddie is my favorite wrestler of 2025. He got rid of a parasite with the worst gimmick ever.

Northern Armoury w/Hammer the Honey Badgers vs Dango, Moose and Brian Myers w/Lish

The system were insulting Canada and making fun of jobless Deaner so Eric Young runs them down, gets big pops from the Canadian crowd and create an impromptu match using a local Mascot as their outside help to deal with Lish.

Dango and Temu Yuta start, moves that don’t matter follow because Sinner & Saint are useless. Thank god when Moose tags in, he demands Eric Young in. I wouldn’t want to dirty my hands with useless jobbers either. Shoulder Tackle spot where they bounce off each other, EY hits a Hip Toss, and Locomotion uninteresting spots from Jabroni duo, the crowd starts singing “Oh Canada” because of course.

God I hate Sinner & Saint…I have no desire to engage with the moves. I would rather watch lemon party…and a “We’ve Got Healthcare” chant starts. Hair Jabroni gets isolated for a while, Myers hits a Flatliner and a Cheap Shot. Myers goes for a Spear, eats a Knee Lift…someone tag in EY so I can care. THANK YOU.

EY cleans house, rocks everyone EY with the Flair Flip into the Corner, walks to the top rope, Moose tries the escalara cut off but EY pushes him off, Polish Hammer, EY goes back to the top, Jabroni Duo tandem Powerbomb Moose, Dive on the others, Macho Elbow connects for 2. Piledriver attempt, but Moose gets out, hits a Lights Out. Hair dork with a splash to break it up, Myers does a thing, Bald Jabroni does the stupidest Back Handspring Shotei I’ve ever seen, Dango disposes of Baldo…EY hits the Spicolli Driver on Moose and stalks him into the corner, Moose pulls EY into the buckle, Lish pulls out Kendra and beats the hell out of the Mascot. Hands Kendra to Moose, local Canadian board members get involved, Moose eats a Piledriver.

This felt…so damn TNA it wasn’t bad I just detest Sinner & Saint. They have no charisma, do nothing interesting or different or well. But a TNA chicanery overbooking classic.

Match by Elegance: TNA Knockouts Tag Titles: Spitfire vs Elegance Clique (c)

Spitfire start fast, set up a table because they’re dressed like the Dudleys, Dani gets the Powerbomb attempt countered. Elegance attack Jody, pull out some Hockey props that got sideways as the Elegances are dressed like Mounties. Things kind of devolve to slow and telegraphed spots, where’s Jisoo when I need someone to say “Not bad, but not good”.

Yeah I couldn’t care enough to follow what’s going on. It was kind of fun, but slow, corny, a Bad Powerbomb from Heather misses the table and instead her head clips the table. Why would you have someone 4 for 9 try to Powerbomb a beautifully thicc girl like Dani. I don’t ask Brad Williams to powerbomb…well…ANYONE. Same same.

Order 4 vs The Rascalz, Indi Hartwell & Raj Singh

Champagne Singh has a rambly promo that sucks. Dude can’t wrestle, he can’t talk…why pick him? He didn’t even get cheap pops.

Tornado start, Rascalz double the hands, then things calm down and Indi starts with Tasha. Indi throws Tasha into the ropes for a Stun Gun that she bounces back from and into a Side Walk Slam. Skyler  tags in, Wentz takes things over, Rascalz hold Skyler’s legs and Signh does the “Wazzup”.

Singh starts beating the hell out of both hands, Tasha dives, Singh catches her, but Ali picks the ankle, Apron Hung DDT as Tasha helps with a Stomp. So they try Locomotion isolation on Singh, he fights off a bit, but Ali tags in and Hotch and Ali hit a beautiful Outside In Rolling Neckbreaker spot. Ali hits the Standing Corkscrew, Singh manages to clock him and the Knockouts tag in. She clears the Hands off the apron, but Ali grabs her hair, dodges her swing, Tasha tries the School Girl for the flash win but Indi kicks out and then hits the Spinebuster. Ali breaks up the pin with a Senton. Signature spam moment, Ali got the best of it, but now we get the Human Centipede Suplex Struggle…but Tasha and Indi fight ontop  of them. Inside of the suplex, they’re the cheerleader style Pyramid base. Indi his the Cutter through the base of teammates. Okay…that was unique, I always liked Indi.

Rascalz hit the Hands with a Hot Fire Flame into a Tornillo from Wentz. The Hands may be out for the rest of the match. Singh vs Ali. Ali tries to use the feet on ropes, Rascalz push off. The faces surround Ali, bit the Hands actually recover, Tasha tries to deal with Indi, and Ali hits a very stiff looking Sliding Dropkick to Indi’s face. 450 on Singh to win the match. He then starts choking Singh with the apron skirt and Tasha gets in his way and he shoves her hard. Ali’s new gimmick is…sexually frustrated mad woman hater? Not sure…it’s interesting at least.

Indi better be fine though. She’s a cutie who can actually work.

Arianna Grace vs Tessa Blanchard

Robert Stone tells Santino that without a manager’s license he can’t be out here. He’s banned from ring side.

Tessa Wrist Locks, Front Facelocks, just making fun of her. The crowd does the “She’s a Racist” chant so Tessa does the Hulk Hogan pose. She’s loving the heat. Arianna has been getting so dominated this looks more like the start of a Pornhub video aside from normal pro wrestling. Tessa is just picking her apart. Tessa misses or Arianna was supposed to move and didn’t so it looked kinda bad.

Grace hits a slap and Tear Drop Suplex to finally start doing things. Rolling Elbows, Cutters and a lot of simple offense as Tessa stays cocky but Arianna keep landing a punch or two, finally hits the Superplex but only for two. Arianna tries another Superplex, but Tessa bites her face, wants Magnum but slips so she adjusts to hitting the Buzzsaw first and redoing the finish.

It was sloppy and uninteresting, but they’re both hot, so I’m not complaining. I’d just like to know if the botches were Tessa’s fault or Arianna being green as fuck.

TNA Knockouts Championship: Victoria Crawford (Alicia Fox) vs Masha Slamovich (c)

They start cat fight style until Masha hits the Drop Toe hold into PK and lariat as Alicia powders, Masha follows and starts arguing with Robert Stone and Alicia hits a beautiful Jumping Side Kick. The her Northern Lights Suplex on the floor. Masha tries to fight out and misses her Sole Butt so Crawford screams at her, slams her down and starts getting annoyed. Forearms into a Vertical Suplex Crawford goes into the pin for only two.

Rope run, Masha fights back again, bad looking Capo kick…great interference by Stone has Masha stumble into Crawford and she hits a gorgeous Package Piledriver. Belt distraction spot but the ref tries to wrestle it away, Masha tries to stop it, Masha clocks the ref, Crawford connects with the belt. Tries about Package Piledriver but Masha blocks and hits the Russian Death Device, but ref is still dead. Masha tries to revive the ref, School Girl kick out, spinning back fist, Requiem… meh.

TNA Tag Team Championship: Bootleg Hardyz (Leon Slater & Matt Hardy vs Kaiba Boys (c)

Matt and Nic start off, Matt gets the early upper hand with this weird Headlock open into the Shoulder Tackle and Headlock Takeover. Matt finally tags out from the most boring opening sequence, but Leon starts doing the same Headlock crap. The last match was boring, this is starting bad and now tornado brawl but the Bootlegs clear the ring. Holy hell this is bad…starting too slow after two bad matches. Nemeths forgot who was level cause this is so boring. Holy crap this is the worst 5 minutes ever. I am slipping into a coma while sharting.

They’ve been isolating Leon long enough for the crowd to chant “We want Matt”, there’s a tease but Matt gets pulled off the apron. Ryan connects on the Implant DDT. Tries another but Leon counters and hits a Back Handspring Elbow. Simultaneous tags, Matt has control, Delete Buckle Smashes. Matt hits Delete Buckle Smashes on Ryan too, then Side Effects for everyone, Twist of…countered. Nic pushes Matt into Ryan and Ryan gets popped. FameASSer gets a 2. Assisted Back Drop/Neckbreaker and Slater makes the save. Throws Mokuba out, Plancha, Matt tries to roll up Nic but he kicks. Nic hits the Twist of Fate for arrogance, only two.

Superkick is caught, Leon flies in with a Leg Lariat, then Plot Twist for only 2! Ryan moves Nic from Poetry In Motion, Matt moves closer, Poetry over the Post. Twist of Fate from Matt, Swanton 450…1-2…Ryan saves the day and smashes Matt’s face into the apron. Leon tries to help, but misses and gets thrown into the Steps, Superkick and Danger Zone onto Matt, Kaiba Boys retain.

Half of that match was unwatchable.

Joe Hendry & Elijah vs Frankie Kazarian & Trick Williams

Kaz and Elijah start, some interesting counter spots with Elijah using the ropes for Short Arm Lariats, a few times, tags in Joe and Trick asks for the tag. Kaz tells everyone to fuck off, doesn’t tag and goes after Joe with a few short punches, but Joe Shoulder Tackles and Hip Toss, tags in Elijah and they do a Simple Double Back Elbow, look for a Double Bomb but Kaz rolls through and tags in Trick when he wants to. Trick and Elijah connect and its mostly Trick talking and then Rope Run spots, and a lot of talking.

Dysfunctional teammate tagging in and out yelling stuff… ugh. Elijah wipes them both out in the most uninteresting ways, and Joe hits his Rock the Baby Flying Senton. And that’s the first time the crowd pops this match. Kaz starts walking away, Trick goes after Kaz, the faces go after both, they deposit the heels into the crowd and start brawling into the crowd. The referee is out there with them and not counting.

At least this brawl has forced the crowd out of their Canadian coma, people in the ring, Elijah Rope Walk, Hendry Stalling Suplex at the time. Elijah walked 3 corners and then they punctuate together. Elijah hits the ropes, Kaz trips him, he eats a Trick Kick and a Flapjack. Trick tags out for Kaz to continue to isolate Elijah, Trick tags back, Elijah tries to fight out but Trick kicks Elijah in the head and then cheap shots Hendry on the apron. Leg Lariat from Trick on Elijah.

Eventual tag out to Hendry, Sack of Shits and Kip Ups. Standing O, Trick says no, so Hendry hits the Olympic Slam for two. Trick counters AA with Bookend, Trick to the top, Crossbody, Joe rolls through, AA. Kaz tags, Backstabber, Sliding Lariat, Slingshot Leg Drop for two. Kaz goes Chicken Wing, Joe says no, AA for Kaz. Elijah tags in, and loses control immediately, Trick tags in and also loses control immediately. Trick tries to fly at him, but Knee Lift from Elijah for a 2. Trick Shot on Elijah, Joe makes the save, Kaz takes him outside and grabs a guitar. Kaz tags in and tries to use the guitar, Highwayman’s Farewell but Trick saves it. Trick wants to use the guitar, distracts ref, Elijah’s roll up doesn’t win. Trick Shot accidentally hits Kaz Standing Ovation and face win.

Is Trick winning at Battleground or will this just be very one sided in matches?

Overall Score: 2/10

Two points for KC Navarro being the best thing going right now.

The rest, botches, botches everywhere and boy oh boy:

I avoided last week because when TNA starts making my IQ drop, I need time off to rethink how I make life decisions. And well…I have bad taste, just like with my women. The redder the flag, the better for me.

Explains so much about me and why I drink.

.@XiaBrookside has all the motivation she needs to take down @WeAreRosemary at #TNAUnderSiege!

Results:

Mustafa Ali vs Ace Austin

Ali continues his more vicious approach, he attacks Ace’s leg with as few Leg Scissors attempts, a few quick strikes, a lot of Lucha Style counters into impact moves but nothing sticks. Kicks, Side Suplexes, Mustafa eats a few strikes, powders and Ace hits his apron dance counter spot hitting the PK. Back in ring Ace tries to continue but Ace just grabs the bad leg into a DDT, then a Chop Block and wraps Ace’s knee into the post. Ace tries to fight back, a few strikes, looks for Backwards Splash but Ali kicks Ace’s legs, Tree of Woe, Mustafa goes for the Baseball slide, but Ace sits up and crotches himself into the post. Ace tries his Backwards Splash again but Mustafa moves and goes for a Sharpshooter, Ace struggles but gets to the ropes.

Extra strikes before Mustafa gets the best of it, 450 attempt from Mustafa misses, Ace rock Mustafa, looks for a Hesitation Dropkick but Ali pulls Tasha in the ring to stop Ace, pushes Tasha at him, Ace tries to put her down and eats the Chop Block, then Mustafa pulls out the Calf Killer on the bad leg and Ace taps out.

Aztec Warriors vs Jabroni Losers w/Eric Young

Laredo and bald dork have a lame tie up, a generic rope  run Indy/AEW shit leap frog and headscissors dumb thing spot. Aztecs double baldo, but he tags out to Temu (pre-Tarrifs) Yuta, Octagon punks out the dweeb, Aztec Double Thrust kick and the crowd is actually vibing with Aztecs. Jabronis have a slow and stupid distract spot for Temuta to bite Octagon and do a corner double team as Baldo tags in. These two dweebs really make everything worse. I would rather listen to War and Peace read by a naked Cody Deaner than ever see these dweebs on a show anywhere, they are the definition of “never drew a dime”.

Eric Young about to beat up a fan is more entertaining than this entire match, also why the camera pays attention to it, Laredo screws up his Tornillo Drive and hits his head on the apron. Laredo Driver into Arabian Moonsault tandem finish, Aztecs win.

Eddie Edwards w/Lish vs Jake Painter

Eddie beats the hell out of jobber, Cody is on commentary since the have the Under Siege match. Lish is more entertaining than Cody and the match. Holy hell two useless matches in a row. I’ve seen scuba gear in the desert more useful than the last 20 minutes of this show.

Fir$t Cla$$ vs Sami Callihan & Mike Santana

AJ and Santana start, AJ clocks him with a lariat but he kips up, Dropkicks AJ and KC tags in, calming AJ first and then a small comedy spot that turns into KC into a pancake. Santana tags out, KC avoids a few Sami moves, Sami lets him do some taunts and then lights him up. AJ tries to slow down Sami but KC gets tosses outside, AJ catches him, rocks the baby, it’s a great spot. KC hits a Slingblade First Class has a few fun tag moves of AJ throwing KC, locomotion Sentons, they put stuff together well, Sami rocks AJ, simultaneous tag.

KC and Santana counter each other, Santana hits the Rolling Buck Fifty as he follows a KC roll. Quick spots that ends with an Outline in Chalk, AJ misses the Lariat, Santana knocks him to the outside. They look to set up a tandem finish but AJ grabs Santana and rocks him, Sami tries to intervene but AJ does enough to distract, KC hits the Blessing in Disguise and picks up the win! Good for my boy!

#WWENXT's @MrStoneWWE is losing it. Frustration on FULL DISPLAY!

Vipress & Mazzeratti vs Spitfire

Another job match…they really suck at making good wrestling matches prior to bigger events.

Vipress is cute, but I think I slipped into a coma. Jody is a bad wrestler, and its a squash match. I couldn’t care less about this match existing.

Elijah & Joe Hendry vs Moose & Brian Myers

Elijah and Myers lock up first, old school Shoulder Tackle and Hip Toss into Headlock stuff. Myers retreats, tags out to Moose, Moose points are Hendry, and Moose wants a Test of Strength. Holy 1995 Batman…

Moose attacks the shoulder and quick tags as they isolate Hendry are strike the taped shoulder. Moose is legal, Hendry blocks the Suplex, Pump Kicks Joe in the chest, Hendry hits his stalling Suplex, tags in Elijah, rope walk Tornado DDT. Moose rolls into the tag to Myers and Elijah grabs Myers’ arm, wants another rope walk, but Dango shakes the ropes, Elijah crotches himself and Myers swarms. Elijah fires, tries to hit the ropes, but Baseball trip Raven pose from Myers as we go to commercial.

We come back, Moose hits a Backbreaker on Elijah and tags out to Myers who does the on the ground Front Facelock spot. Myers takes a cheap shot at Joe, Elijah catches him with a Knee Lift simultaneous tag, Hendry hits the Sack of Shit, Kip Up and turn. Wants the Standing Ovation, Moose rocks Joe, goes for the Escalara Crossbody, Joe Side steps it, Simultaneous Lariats, tag outs, Elijah ducks Myers and hits the Highwayman’s Farewell and they win.

Kaz attacks after the match, tries to urge Trick off of commentary, but Trick only cares about Trick. Hendry Uppercuts Kaz into Elijah’s waiting Guitar Shot. Ahh its old school TNA, Joe side steps and Guitar Shots.

Overall Score: 4.5/10

The Italian Debate was entertaining, the table was Japanese, the Opening and Closing matches we fun…the rest of the show was Hot Garbage. At least Mance Warner said match his freak, I enjoy that turn of phrase. But hot damn, TNA has had awful Go Home shows. They close decently well but when 80% of the show sucks, I can’t find myself caring.

This episode did nothing to push the B show app event. If anything it made Under Siege feel more irrelevant. I think Tommy Dreamer said something about bad storylines a few weeks ago, and that’s truly a lack of self awareness. These shows have felt like they’re written by a Kindergartener chewing on a crayon. Mostly awful, it was just bookended well.
