Coming off the worst show in a few months, but still tolerable, we get a Live show today. Now we know that most TNA shows have audio run by a high school AV club, so there is bound to be muted audio, dumb stuff and mics that aren’t on. So we can only hope the show is good regardless of audio.

I don’t really love two perceivably useless title matches though. Jody Threat is not a threat to anything beyond catering. She’s trash and has no shot against Arianna even if there wasn’t going to be cheating. Plus Nic already has the trophy for a World title shot, so giving him the X Division makes no sense.

Lets see where this goes.

TNA Knockouts World Championship: Jody Threat vs Arianna Grace (c) w/Stacks

Tessa’s music hits right after Arianna’s and it blended gorgeously. Tessa’s crew looks amazing especially Tessa. So I’m…not upset. 

Arianna attacks Jody as soon as the bell rings, Jody does turn it around into Short Arm Lariats in the corner and an Exploder Suplex. But then Dani Luna walks out through the crowd to watch. I do like that the muddied Knockouts title picture is being put on display. Indi Hartwell walks out too. Arianna lays in some trips and knees after Jody gets distracted. Twisting Neckbreaker from Arianna and we see Lei and Xia on the ramp too. The whole Knockouts Division are circling like sharks…it’s cool and all the Knockouts look great.

Jody fires but the crowd doesn’t really care. They aren’t reacting to her, just kinda amusing themselves. Double Knees, Release German into a Michinoku Driver for two. Stacks pulls out Arianna allowing Jody a Dive spot to wipe out Stacks. Arianna and Jody tug of war over the Cobra, Arianna wins the tug of war, kicks Jody in the ribs and Roll-Up retains!

The match was useless because Jody sucks and isn’t a real threat. So it was fine to give Arianna a title defense, but there was no way Jody was winning and this still made her look bad. 

The Elegantos walk out, Mr. E is wearing Daisy Dukes. Literally, not figuratively. The only way this dude will be salvageable is if he ends up being Kurt Angle in the ring. They start insulting Mama June who’s in the audience, and they say she should be at a Food Truck. So ODB shows up. The Elegantos continue to talk shit, ODB takes them out, kicks Mr. E in the nards and her with the Mama June cast dump Chilli all over the Elegantos. A dumb stop, but ODB is a TNA Legend and I think she was talking about retiring this year. So it’s always nice to see One Dirty Bitch. 

The System vs The Righteous vs Sinner & Saint vs BDE & Rich Swann

BDE starts with one of the loser jabronis, they tag the other in, Rewind Suplex into a tandem Dropkick, but then Rich tags in Bear Bronson takes a Blind Tag, wipes out Rich and BDE, Jabronis do a stupid assisted Dive spot but BDE and Swann get their spot in and then Dutch does his big boy Tope con Hilo. The crowd likes it but I don’t care about the car crash spot.

Dutch and Righteous have some tandem offense, but Bear with another blind tag, Choke Bomb from Bear on Vincent for two. A few more stomps before tagging to Myers and then Vincent starts to fight up but Myers cuts him off. Bear tags back in, tandem Suplex gets reversed into a Double Neckbreaker and the match breaks down a little. Jabronis get laid out by Swanny, Frankensteinering one into the other for two. Nerds double team Swann, but they suck so Rich eventually rolls out of it, BDE tags in, his Oscutter gets caught and simultaneous Lariats for the random tag spot. Vincent tags in, but BDE Small Package gets two. Dutch and Vincent with an Assisted Cutter and everyone else breaks up the pinfall.

Vincent with a DDT/Flatliner combo after the mayhem, Roster Cut and Spear from Myers, Bear with a Fire/Thunder Driver for the win!

Decent enough, the right team won anyway. Jabronis are trash, BDE & Swann are too new and Righteous is in a weird spot while we just saw them get a shot. 

Moose and Alisha come out to address things. Moose says The System ain’t family, and shouts out his former Falcons teammates in attendance like John Abraham. Moose is bringing decent intensity, he’s just tripping over a lot of his punchlines. 

Elayna Black vs Mara Sade

Collar and elbow tie up, running each other into ropes before Elayna tries to take advantage of the break, Mara turns it around but then Elayna finds a spot to hit her own chop. They’re both throwing a lot of personality and countering the others stuff. It’s basic but not offensive. Elayna dodges a Plancha, but Mara catches herself which is clever, but then Elayna trips her on the apron and she crashes down. So both are showing clever spots. Chop into a Rope Bounce Stomp for a near fall.

Elayna connects with a Fun Splash into the ropes, then kicks Mara in the face multiple times before goading the crowd and peppering in Elbows before a near fall. Elayna gets a Bow and Arrow locked in, with Mara fighting through it. Mara throws a few punches into Lariats, and a Slingblade. Mara is  on a roll, Springboard Crossbody from Mara for two. Mara wanted a Double Arm DDT, but it’s blocked, Mara ole’s Elayna’s charge, Dropkicks her to the outside and throws her back in after the Plancha. Missile Dropkick for good measure and Mara is in full control.

Elayna finds an avenue to stop Mara’s offense with a DDT. She powders and grabs a chair. During the referee taking the chair, she uses the knuckles she had hidden, lays out Mara and wins the match.

Honestly okay match, and the BS finish means there’s a chance to get more out of it. They seem to work well together.

Audio issues continue to plague this show and TNA Live events in general. Kaz and Elijah is an okay King’s Speech segment. Elijah does like these mid promo cutaways, which is funny yet hampered because of audio issues. Devolves into Kaz basically just title mogging him, then AJ Francis chucks Home Town Man off the stage into the audience level and Elijah goes to check on him in typical babyface fashion. 

TNA X Division Championship: Nic Nemeth w/Ryan vs Leon Slater (c)

Nic with a quick Head and Arm cradle for a near fall and a few quick amateur wrestling spots. Leon tries to fight back, the wrist tape to the face shortcut from Nic, before Leon Dropkicks Nic out of the ring, Dives, rolls Nic back in and Ryan trips up Leon on the way back in so Nic hits the FAMEasser for a near fall. Nic follows up with the Boot Lace Rake and moving into deliberate pacing with shortcuts, thumb to the eye, measure Leon as he stumbles for a Dropkick and another near fall before the commercial kicks in.

Coming back from commercial Leon counters the Irish Whip straight into the turnbuckle and Nic goes crashing. Leon runs the ropes, takes Nic’s Head off, Spiderman Rebound Leg Lariat for a nearfall. Leon goes to the top, Nic hits the ropes to crash Leon and big Implant DDT for a two count. Leon slow to get up, Danger Zone almost, Lethal Injection counter, almost, Nic runs into Leon and Leon catches him with the Blue Thunder Bomb for a two count.

Leon heads back to the buckles, 450 nope, Superkick nope, Rewind Mule nope, FAMEasser, but Leon grabs him, hangs him and Styles Clash. Leon goes to the top, 450 but eats the knees! Nemeth locks in the Rear Naked Choke. Leon turns it into a near fall so Nic has to break it for a second, he tries to reapply but Leon drops back to break the hold. Leon fires up, kicks off Ryan, charges and eats a Superkick! Only a two count though. Nic shoves Leon into the corner, perches him. Wants the Superplex, but Leon counters with an Avalanche Final Cut.

Swanton 450, and Leon retains.

Eric Young attacks Leon after the match, Piledrivers him on the outside and then poses with the title before what is probably the last commercial break of the night since Mike Santana needs to talk.

Santana wants Maclin reinstated, sexy SUIT heel shows up and says “Fuck you, but its a good idea”. So she agrees to reinstate Maclin and then Santino makes the match for Sacrifice. Santana is happy but says it’s on sight, and commentary is flabbergasted because they gave Maclin what he wanted. 

Overall Score: 5.5/10

While the title matches had no suspension of disbelief, all the correct people went over. The tag team 4 way was haptic but solid with the correct winner. I don’t like Leon but beating Nic is correct. The Elegantos were a decent joke spot for the Legend + crowd interaction moment. Elijah with a new cutaway interview gimmick could be great if mic’d correctly. Lish cheerleading Moose in some cuckhold ass beating angle is hilariously embarassing for the time we live in. But I would still prefer that over Lish doing the obvious thing by turning on Moose when it gets to Eddie’s turn to get his ass beat.

Lastly, Maclin proves that complaining gets you everything. So hooray for negative reinforcement!

Still an okay show honestly. Decent matches, nothing really dragged the pace down.

Well last week’s viewership numbers were down slightly, but still in the general wheelhouse. The important thing is the fact that the shows have been pretty good since the AMC debut.

Today’s episode could very well end up being filler. With Sacrifice still a month away and Rebellion two weeks after that, there’s a few weeks to try and pad out. So let’s be honest, one of these weeks will be slow.

Let’s see if they go somewhere interesting with Maclin or if anything interesting happens tonight, or just setting up for a bigger moment closer to the actual events.

The Righteous are prepared to do anything to regain the trust of The Hardys. @DEATHxWALKS @NoNamexVincent

Results:

Mike Santana & Leon Slater vs The Kaiba Boys

Kaz comes out to join commentary since he politicked for the position last week. He is actually really good on commentary, so no complaints.

Leon and Nic start, and its just basic Collar and Elbow, Nic tries to shoot the half for a flash pin but it doesn’t do anything, then World of Sport cliche Arm Wringer crap…Nic manages to stop Leon’s flipping, quick tags with Ryan and some classic heel offense. Nic wants a Rude Awakening but Leon counters it, Pele, Nic Irish Whips but Springboard Back Elbow levels Nic. Ryan gets dumped, Santana Lariats Ryan and Leon hits the Plancha on the Kaiba Boys.

Santana and Leon start isolating Nic, Hip Attack into a Stomp for a near fall for Santana. Ryan gets clocked by Santana, but Nic catches him with a Superkick to tag out and start with some isolation quick tags again. We head to commercial with the Nemeths in charge.

Returning from commercial, Ryan has Santana down, but Santana is fighting back up, a few elbows, Rolling Buck Fifty, and there’s an opening. Simultaneous tags, Nic and Leon, Leon starts working over Nic. Spiderman Roundhouse Kick, Yakuza Kick into Gamechanger Splash for two. Santana and Leon try some tandem work, Ryan gets rid of Leon, Santana tries the Rolling Buck Fifty but gets caught and dropped in the tandem Backdrop/Neckbreaker spot. Near fall, a few more attempts but Santana gets some momentum, Leon blind tag, Leon tries to fly, but Nic stops him with a Superkick feint, back and forth, FAMEasser drops Leon. Nearfall again.

EY runs out when Leon starts getting the advantage, Santana pushes EY up the ramp, Swanton 450 into the knees because he took too long. Cradle, 1-2-3.

Dani Luna vs Lei Ying Lee

Aggressive tie up to start, Dani rushes Lei, Double Leg takedown, then Dani returns the favor. Scrappy start, Dani throws Lei to the apron, misses the charge, eats a kick. Lei comes back in with style, Sweep, Running Knee, Running Dropkick. Tries the corner punches but Dani just carries Lei out. Lei tries a Frankensteiner but Dani stops it. She throats Lei into the ropes and starts to pummel her with short close shots and Flashing Elbows. Exploder Suplex from Dani and she just observes her carnage before locking in a Neck Crank and keeping Lei grounded. Lei tries to fight up but Dani just lifts her and suplexes her over her head. Not pretty, but effective.

Dani starts to ram her knee into Lei’s hyper extended arm, and looks for a Brainbuster. Lei counters into a Small Package, then a Cradle, so Lei trying to keep Dani off balance with locomotion cradles, then she locks in a Guillotine Choke, but Dani turns it into a Suplex. Dani grabs her new signature chain, wraps it around the turnbuckle and looks to ram Lei into it. Lei blocks with her legs, a few blocks, Wing Chun Chain Punches, Sole Butt, Knee Lift, Lei wants a T-Bone Suplex but Dani blocks and eats a Superkick. Lei hits the Up Strike into the 10 Count Hammer Fists. Lands the T-Bone Suplex but only for 2.

Lei charges, misses, Dani tries to hang her on the ropes but there’s fighting back and forth. Lei is on the apron, Dani wants the Nakamura Outside In Suplex, but Lei stops it. Lei charges again but Dani catches her with the Rebound Blue Thunderbomb for two. Fighting Spirit spot, but Dani cuts off Lei with a Knee, Lei cuts off Dani with a Forearm, Lei misses a wild kick and Dani hooks in the Rear Naked Choke. Lei turns it into a pinfall, they break, both miss Shining Wizards. Victory Roll, but Dani kicks her off into the chain corner, German Suplex into Luna Landing for the victory.

AJ Francis vs Mance Warner w/SDL

AJ tries to attack Mance before the bell, he misses, the bell rings and brawling starts. Mance gets the best of things, Knee Lift, Knee Lift off the apron, rams AJ into the steps and Mance has the early advantage. Mance tries an early Piledriver, which is stupid on a guy AJ’s size, so it doesn’t work obviously. AJ gets the advantage, throws Mance back in and starts choking him against the ropes. Back Elbow rocks Mance, Mance throws some fists to try and get out, AJ hits him with a Splash, then Tennessee Whiskey.

After flirting with Steph, AJ tries to continue but eats a Jawbreaker, then a Big Boot, and a little Flip Flop Fly. A poke to the eyes with flair, and then an Inverted Russian Leg Sweep. Mance gets a little cocky but eats the TFL for a two count. AJ finds a chair, SDL tries to grab it and it goes to Mance…Mance hits AJ, so Mance loses on DQ, but he lights up AJ. This means we’re probably getting another one of these with a dumb hardcore gimmick.

Mance is so damn hard to watch in 2026. It’s pathetic. Strikes look bad, chairshots looks bad, his entire gimmick doesn’t work if he’s not gonna lay the stuff in. You can’t sterilize a death match guy or he looks like a pathetic dork.

Mickie James comes out next to answer ASH’s challenge. ASH comes out, Mickie even shuts down the Personal Concierge with a nice insult. ASH calls her washed up, clears up that they ‘were friends’. Mickie tells the story about she’s the reason ASH is in TNA. ASH tries to shoot back saying she was the hottest free agent at the time. Mickie calls her a Mark because of all her Twitter beefs. Mark by Elegance is funny. Tessa’s crew shows up on the tron going after Mickie’s son, just to have the Elegantos cut her off as she runs up the ramp. Maggie lays her out, Heather with a few pot shots, ASH hits the Mick DT just to rub it in. 

Segment went a little long and devolved into bad acting. If it was like 2 minutes shorter, it would’ve been more tolerable.

Jada Stone vs Tasha Steelz w/Great Hands

As the bell rings, Tasha attacks Jada, and keeps dropping her with Short Lariats, stomps a mudhole in her in the corner, and Tasha is doing a good Ali impression right now. Chops and Punches in the corner, but Jada starts blocking the strikes, fires back, catches her with a kick to the face and then a John Woo Dropkick sending Tasha to powder. Jada flies into the Great Hands, they catch her and put her down gently since the ref is looking. Tasha tries to catch Jada with a Dive, but Jada dodges and Tasha wipes out her backup. Jada hits a Moonsault off the apron on all three.

Their chemistry isn’t really there so far, but Tasha kicks Jada’s head off, Snap Suplex onto the floor, Tasha breaks the count, Rakes the back and then throws Jada back in. Tasha is taking the deliberate Ali pace. Lariat, Gamengiri, Snapmare, PK sequence from Tasha, but only for a two count. Locomotion 1 Count Cradles, Jada catches Tasha with a Superkick out of the Cradles, multiple Lariats into a Slingblade for two. Jada goes for a Back Handspring, but Tasha catches her, Snap Suplex. Okurrr attempt is blocked by Jada, Crucifix Cradle counter and Jada wins.

The crowd is all over Steve Maclin. They are trying to drown him out and its playing decently into his disgruntled ex-employee angle. Ahh Maclin apparently got him the job, good to know. Hannifan is preaching accountability and I’m just waiting for Maclin to hit him. THERE IT IS! Punch straight to the stomach, and Santana’s music starts playing so Maclin bails. Rehwoldt tries to stand up for Hannifan, but Maclin shoves Rehwoldt and there’s a stand off. 

The System vs The Righteous & The Hardyz

Jeff and Eddie start, Jeff is keeping Eddie off balance, Eddie can’t get any offense in. Deletion headbutts in triplicate and the faces hold the ring as we head to the final commercial break.

Since we’re back, Bear gets tagged in for The System and Dutch gets tagged in for the faces. Big meaty men slapping meat. Dutch wanted a Twist of Fate, Bear stops it, Exploder Suplex into a blind tag from Vincent and Poetry in Motion! Eddie gets involved to break the flow and give Bear a chance for a Sitout Chokebomb on Vincent and now the System isolate him in their corner. Headlock, Vincent tries to fight out, but a Knee Lift stops Vincent. Myers tags out to Bear, and Bear does the mocking Jeff Hardy dance, before dropping a middle rope elbow. Isolation tactics continue and Cedric comes in with a very lazy PK but on purpose because he’s acting like Vincent is beneath him.

Snap German from Cedric, Vincent fights out of the enemy corner, Tilt-a-Whirl Russian Leg Sweep, simultaneous tags to Matt and Eddie. Matt with his classic Hot Tag offense of chops, lariats, two for out, Kneckbreaker/DDT. Twist on Eddie but Myers with the save and now we get the signature spam spot. As things start to thin out, Matt hits a Scorpion Deathdrop on Eddie, Twist gets pushed off, blind tag by Vincent but Eddie hits the Blue Thunder Bomb on Matt. Eddie lines up Matt for the Boston Knee Party, but Vincent pushes Matt out of the way, eats the Shining Wizard and The System win.

So they lose the match, but is the sacrifice enough to win over the Hardys’ trust? Moose walks out to make the save, and he’s cleaning them all up. But Bear catches the boot and the numbers catch up to Moose. Lish comes out to protect Moose. Eddie is baring at Lish to move, but The System so far isn’t hitting Lish. Show ends with Lish protecting Moose and The System backing off. 

Overall Score: 5.75/10

While there’s a solid amount of wrestling on the card, most of it just feels like matches to have matches. The build for Santana and Leon versus the Nemeths is cornball but made enough sense to validate the match. The match however was average and didn’t really do anything, but the right team won. Now that Lei lost the title at No Surrender, I was happy Dani won in honestly a really solid match. Dani looked great, Lei didn’t look bad. AJ is currently worthless. He’s lost too many matches and Mance hasn’t had a good match this entire run because his entire offense looks like shit. His chairshots are worse than an 80 year old man, his knee strike is bad. He is pathetic. This match was utter trash and kinda ruined any momentum the show had going.

Jada and Tasha had no chemistry. There was an outline of a decent match, but it didn’t come together and was just hard to watch. The Mickie and ASH segment went long, involving Tessa’s crew in this too feels like too much “heels being heels” campy utilize things that don’t matter. I think Harley Hudson, Myla Grace and Jody Threat were trying to “protect” Mickie’s son. So it feels like lazy writing. Main event was okay, it honestly makes the Righteous a little more interesting and Lish protecting Moose at the end does kinda prove some loyalty so far. But with The System just backing away, you kinda have to hope it’s not a set up.

Also everyone getting everyone their job is boring. It’s like they give everyone the same idea, when Mara debuted and Santana was doing his promos, the whole “I’ve seen death and been on the hard streets” that was redundant, now Mickie got ASH her job, Maclin got Hannifan his job. Like seriously…stop doing parallel stories. It’s moronic.

Worst show since the debut, but still watchable. I’m not going to say they broke the streak yet…but it’s a shaky 8.
