Adam Cole VS ???
The Panama City Playboy is back, but he never gave an answer to last week’s “pick your poison” challenge as posed to him and Kyle O’Reilly. Cole is confident as ever, though, does he have an idea?
Cole gets the mic and reminds us that William Regal set up Cole VS Kyle at Great American Bash. Oh, and Samoa Joe assaulted and attacked him! Now this week, he gets to handpick his opponent. Cole was doing some thinking, so ain’t no way in hell HE is going to do that. He doesn’t have to start following the rules just cuz Joe is here. And Cole wants Joe to know there’s a new king of this brand, and you’re looking at him! After Cole embarrasses Kyle at Great American Bash 2021, Cole will be recognized the best in NXT ever! So the fans can consider themselves lucky for having seen Cole, but this isn’t happening.
Oh wait, here comes Carmelo Hayes! This newcomer came close to the Cruiserweight Championship in his debut, seems he’s aiming at another prize. “Hey, Cole, you might not know who I am, but I know who you are.” Melo introduces himself, and says if anyone changes Cole’s mind, it’s him. Oh is that so? Then enlighten him on how. Melo says there is this famous phrase. How does it go? “RUTHLESS! AGGRESSION!” Same energy, bruh. And then Melo SLAPS Cole!!

Franky Monet talks with Jessi Kamea & Aliyah.
Monet is so excited for tonight. The Robert Stone Brand has a match with Zoey Stark & Io Shirai, and Aliyah says it’ll be a piece of cake. Jessi says it’s already in the bag. And of course, Franky has her second match! These three should be the Winner’s Circle! Yeah, great name. But then suit man Stone come sin and Franky says tonight is going to be a great night for them all. Good luck, ladies! Thank you! The high-five to Stone is a little hard, will it hurt even harder if and when his clients ditch him for Monet?
Backstage interview with Zoey Stark.
We all just saw Monet talk up Jessi & Aliyah, but why did she help Shirai last week? Well Shirai gave Stark her big break. All last week was was paying it back. But tagging tonight is a surprise, especially with how notorious Shirai can be when playing with others. But speaking of, Shirai comes in to say it for herself: She did pick Stark for tonight, but that doesn’t mean she likes her. Mutual respect is all they need tonight as far as Stark is concerned. Will that help them get a win against the bougie bad brand?
LA Knight speaks.
The Million Dollar Ladder match made him the NEW Million Dollar Champion, “So let me talk to ya.” Knight’s coronation made him drop what he didn’t need, and that was the old man DeBiase boarding the gravy train! Then the ungrateful NXT fans are all shouting “TO THE MOON!” for that “Hilljack” Grimes, who comes out to go after Knight. Good on Grimes, because even Knight thought Grimes only cared about the title and the money. Turns out, he cares about the old man. That’s so sweet. Grimes is what Knight knew he was on day one: a moron idiot!
That fall Grimes took at TakeOver was beautiful, but that won’t compare to when he gets dropped on his head by the Million Dollar Megastar, the- Oh, thank you! Drinks on Knight! Whose game is it? L A Knight’s game! Toast to that! But will Knight be living the high-life after coming face to feet with a Cave-In?
Johnny Gargano & Austin Theory are here!
They make their way down to the ring, and Gargano says these are exciting times! There is new management in town so we need a new NXT Champion! A new face of the brand! We don’t need the big, mean, angry, leather jacket wearing doomsday guy. No! We need the handsome, the hardworking, the headband wearing, respectable family man! We need Johnny! Theory agrees, of course. The 57 days Gargano was champion, NXT THRIVED! It was a paradise! Chef’s kiss and all that. At TakeOver, Gargano proved Karrion Kross is NOT on Gargano’s level. Gargano outshined him every time they were in the ring together! And everyone knows Gargano can outwrestle Kross on his worst day!
But instead of Kross, Pete Dunne and Oney Lorcan show up! The Bruiserweight has a mic to respond, “Are you mad?” This is so stupid. Gargano must be nuts if he thinks he’s #1 contender over Dunne. And shut up, Theory. Theory gets heated but Gargano has him stop. These two are trying to provoke them and start chaos! There is a new way to do things around here, the Way does not partake in hijinks and shenanigans! They are law-abiding citizens, and there are rules to follow, Peter. The Way are good people. If Dunne and Oney want a fight, it won’t come from them. Gargano puts the mic down, he and Theory wash their hands of this as they leave the ring.
Oney picks up the mic as Theory says he is watching Dunne. Theory points at Dunne, but Dunne grabs those fingers to SNAP them! Theory needs to be more careful around the Bruiserweight! Will Gargano find a way to get back at Dunne that follows the rules?
Cameron Grimes rolls up.
Everyone says hey and Grimes gives them money for their troubles. How is DeBiase doing? He’s alright, Grimes will keep checking on him. Ari Sterling says Grimes must’ve just come from the nursing home. Had to check on Gramps and all that. What was that? Grimes heard him. Grimes did, and he laughs, before he DECKS Sterling! That’s for Ted, this is for you. Grimes gives Sterling a $100 even so, and laughs his way into the CWC.
Backstage interview with Adam Cole.
McKenzie asks him about his coming match with Kyle, and Cole says no. He is not talking about Kyle at all. He doesn’t care about Kyle, he doesn’t care about Kyle VS Kushida tonight, because what Cole did to Hayes will happen to Kyle at the Bash. But here comes Regal. Cole asks what he wants. Regal appreciates Cole going through with that match tonight. Cole says he did it for himself, not for Regal. Regal hopes there’s no animosity between Cole and Joe. According to who? Well Cole touched Joe, Joe got him with the clutch, that’s the end of it. Don’t provoke Joe again.
Oh is that how Regal sees this? How great that Regal has done absolutely nothing to reprimand Joe for putting his hands on Cole! But don’t worry, Cole will do Regal a favor by getting out of his hair. Cole takes his things and goes, will this make things considerably easier on the General Manager tonight?
The battery continues to charge.
We are now at 31%.
Gargano is fuming and he gets the cameraman to follow him.
He and Theory storm up to the GM’s office and since Theory’s fingers hurt, Gargano knocks. Regal lets them enter and Gargano hopes he saw what happened. Regal did. The Way are being model citizens, and look! A new pencil to replace the other one. But there need to be consequences! Regal agrees, there should be. Alright, so what’s gonna happen? Is Joe gonna go get them? Put them through a wall? Or better yet, Coquina Clutch! Regal stands up and Gargano wants to see Regal get those brass knuckles and “knuck ’em up!” No, no, they’re going to face Dunne & Oney in a match, later tonight.
What?! They’re not even dressed, they don’t have their stuff! Doesn’t matter, they have to go. Gargano and Theory panic and rush out of the room, will they suffer more than two bad fingers tonight?
Io Shirai & Zoey Stark VS The Robert Stone Brand!
The Evil Genius and the Rising Star(k) are ready to shine, but Franky did fire up Jessi & Aliyah backstage. Will Shirai’s return to the ring be a great success or a disappointing stumble on her way back after the title?

Winners: Io Shirai & Zoey Stark, by pinfall
The Evil Genius stares Candice down as she and Stark have their hands raised. They dare The Way to get in, but then Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai come out from the crowd side. Raquel teases that Shirai goes on vacation and came back to get a friend. If either of them think they’re jumping the line for that #1 contender’s spot, they’re crazy! Those titles belong to Kai & Gonzalez! But whoa, whoa, whoa! Shotzi & Ember show up! Now certainly no one forgot about them! They done lost their minds! MARBLES! But also, they beat Kai & Gonzalez for that contendership spot, right? Right! So then that puts Kai & Gonzalez at the back, right? Right!
But, wait, Ember… They DID forget! Whaaa…? Well let’s remind them! And by that, Shotzi means, KICK SOME ASS!! It’s a chaotic brawl in the ring, but the champs stay far away from it all! Shirai, Kai and Ember, then Raquel, Shotzi and Stark! Samoa Joe comes out and Candice says this isn’t on them! Joe has referees and security get in this, and teams are separated from other teams. Fans want to “Let Them Fight!” but that’s not happening! Shotzi and Ember are the ones left in the ring, Shirai and Stark are on one side, and Kai and Gonzalez are on the other. Will Candice & Indi have to watch out with this many teams targeting them?
Kushida speaks.
“I knew my professional wrestling life wouldn’t last forever. This will be a special moment in my career. Nobody can take this moment away from us.” The Time Splitter is ready, but will he come out on top against a motivated Kyle O’Reilly?

Backstage interview with Bronson Reed.
The North American Champion knows Santos Escobar is calling him out, and his response is that he is confused. He squishes Escobar, puts him through a barricade, what more does Reed have to do? Does he have to squish Escobar into this TV here? Or put him through the windows? Through walls? Reed could destroy the whole CWC and- Hit Row interrupts by walking in, and Swerve gets in Reed’s face. Swerve eyes the title, and Top Dolla says, “Everybody’s colossal, until a colossus walks in the room.” True, Top Dolla is talla than Reed. Adonis tells the fans that Ever-Rise are about to get a crash course, without seatbelts.
Also, Reed ain’t even from North America. Yeah, cuz that’s how to get this. Reed doesn’t sweat Hit Row, but will he worry about them more after dealing with Escobar?
NXT shares a video from social media.
Apparently, this incident earlier today is what Hit Row was referring to before the break. Ever-Rise was lurking like parking lot ninjas, and they crept up on Hit Row’s ride. They shake up the spray paint, but “Dolla King” was already in the driver’s seat. Does he know that Ever-Rise is Ever-Rise? “Ski masks don’t work when your name’s on your shirt.” Oh, right. RUN FOR IT! Will Ever-Rise at least rule in the ring?
Ever-Rise VS Hit Row!
Matt Martel & Chase Parker take on Top Dolla & Ashante “Thee” Adonis, and if you didn’t know, now you know!

Dolla gets Martel with a choke grip, shoves him to the corner and SPLASHES! Tag to Adonis for the LONG KISS GOODNIGHT! Tag back to Dolla, and Swerve says to end it. Dolla drags Parker up, reels him in, and coordinates with Adonis, POWERBOMB NECKBREAKER! Cover, Hit Row wins!
Winners: Hit Row, by pinfall
Parker checks on Martel, but he gets a HOUSE CALL from Swerve! Ever-Rise might not ever get back up! Will they make sure to keep Hit Row’s names out of their mouths from now on?
Backstage interview with Mercedes Martinez.
McKenzie has huge news, there will be a mixed tag with her against Boa & Xia Li! But who has she chosen for a partner? Well, Mercedes can get down with this. But she doesn’t make friends that easily. She can go, with or without- But then XIA LI attacks from behind! Boa talks some smack to Mercedes, too, but JAKE ATLAS comes in and BOOTS him down! Atlas says he’s just joined the fight! Mercedes and Atlas tell Tian Sha’s warriors they’ll see them next week. Will Mean Ms. Mercedes and the Muscle of El Monte make Tian Sha shrink back into the shadows?
Kyle O’Reilly speaks.
“Sometimes, you come across a guy you were just born to wrestle, and Kushida is that for me.” When Kyle and Kushida face off, the world watches a great match that is just a byproduct of them stepping in the ring. Kyle will wrestle like this is the last match of his career, and he is sure Kushida will do the same. That match is coming! Will Kyle keep pace with Cole? Or is he going to find why Kushida is still the Super Junior?
Kyle O’Reilly VS KUSHIDA!
This match may have come about because of the “pick your poison” challenge, but both men (and the fans) are more than happy to have this dream match happen in NXT! Will Kyle be fired up just weeks away from the Great American Bash? Or will plenty of fireworks go off right here?
The bell rings and the two circle. They give a quick low-five of respect before they clinch and go for control. Kushida hooks a leg to block a takedown and they end up on ropes. Kyle gets the other leg, trips Kushida, but Kushida’s leg guard is strong. Kushida trips Kyle, Kyle’s leg guard is also strong, and they knuckle lock on top of the leg grapple. Kyle turns things back around, cover, ONE! Kyle pushes that arm down for another cover, Kushida bridges. Kushida uses his leg guard to keep Kyle away, and then gets up to push Kyle over with body weight. Kushida throws elbows, handsprings through and gets Kyle for an ARMBAR! Kyle gets up and gets free, and fans cheer the exchange!
Kyle and Kushida go again, another leg hook to block a takedown, and Kushida gets a waistlock. Kyle pries the waistlock open, tackles Kushida, and uses his knee to keep Kushida down while going for the Triangle! Kushida gets the ropebreak, Kyle lets off, and fans cheer again. Kushida and Kyle circle, tie up, Kyle waistlocks but Kushida pries at it. Kyle headlocks, Kushida powers out and things speed up. Kyle rolls to BOOT, but Kushida stays up. Kyle whips, Kushida handsprings, into an ARMBAR! Kushida gets free and comes back to go around with Kyle! Kyle holds Kushida off to put Kushida in the cobra twist!

Fans love this as Kushida looms over Kyle. Kushida steps over to hammerlock the arm, and TWISTS it! Kyle writhes but Kushida gets him up for a top wristlock. Kyle tries to fight free but Kushida wrangles him down. Kushida bends fingers, twists the wrist, and drags Kyle around. Kyle pushes a forearm into Kushida’s face but Kushida KICKS him to a corner! Kushida whips Kyle corner to corner, Kyle stops himself and comes back to go for a leg. Kushida gets free and he goes for a leg, but Kyle steps over to get Kushida’s leg. Kushida shakes Kyle off and goes for Kyle’s leg, but Kyle gets free. They both shoot in and their heads collide! Fans fire up how even these two are, and NXT goes picture in picture!
Kushida and Kyle back off to opposite ends and Kyle even goes out of the ring to walk it off. Kushida sees him, Kyle gets on the apron and Kushida is after the arm! Wrench and elbow breaker HOTSHOT! Kyle flops down, Kushida gets him inside and has the arm for another wristlock. Kushida grinds Kyle down, hooks up the arm and pulls the other back!

Winners: Kyle O’Reilly, by pinfall
Kyle just snatched victory from the jaws of defeat! Kushida can’t believe it, but Kyle gives Kushida his due. Kushida returns the favor, these two have great respect for each other, and for good reason! But here comes Cole! Kyle was ready and he tackles Cole over the announce desk! They brawl and bounce each other off desk and barriers! Then they throw more hands! Cole bounces Kyle off desk and barriers again, security rushes out to stop this, but Kyle wants payback! Cole goes after him, too, but Joe is
Wait, who is that going after Kushida?! Waistlock and SLAM!! That’s RODERICK STRONG?!?! Strong, Tyler Rust and a third man are here, and Strong KNEES Kushida down! Strong and his new compatriots have matching jackets, and MALCOLM BIVENS is here, too? Bivens shows Strong the NXT Cruiserweight Championship, and says “THIS! IS! DIAMOND MINE!!” Finally, we see just who was coming to NXT! And Strong tells Kushida, “Soon.” The Diamond Mine is open, and the Messiah of the Backbreaker is coming for gold! Will Kushida be able to withstand the pressure?
My Thoughts:
What an awesome episode! Cole opening with his promo about not wanting to and then Carmelo Hayes coming out and literally referencing John Cena, and especially the match, all of it was great stuff. Hayes is definitely a future champion on any if not all levels of NXT, this was perhaps Cole’s seal of approval on him. We got a good promo from Knight, and a good, quick segment with Grimes. I am pretty sure this means Grimes VS Ari Sterling is next week to help get Grimes back into the swing of things before going after Knight in a Million Dollar Rematch. Also, Ciampa & Thatcher VS MSK for Great American Bash, that’s a great move and could go either way to me.
Bronson Reed had a good promo to respond to Santos Escobar, their 1v1 match should definitely happen at Great American Bash. Given Swerve getting in Reed’s face tonight, Reed has to retain so Swerve can get his shot. Escobar can still come back around later, but Reed and Swerve have history so it just makes sense they have their match. Hit Row VS Ever-Rise was really good, really fun, lot of character work from everyone. Hit Row of course wins, Adonis and Dolla might need to work on that bomb neckbreaker combo, but they’re gonna get in the title scene soon enough. I’m just curious as to if and when “B-Fab” Briana Brandy gets in a match.
Franky Monet is totally swiping Robert Stone’s team from him, just a matter of when. Franky of course wins her second match, but I will say Elektra Lopez gave her a lot better fight than I expected. Franky leading an all female faction will definitely help keep her bougie bad persona from getting stale, she is already having good chemistry with Aliyah and Jessi, they could definitely make big moves in the division. Though, obviously, not right now. Shirai & Stark did great in their match against the Robert Stone Brand, and I did like that we got that big brawl of the women’s teams to set up next week’s contender’s match.
The only shortcoming was Shotzi & Ember having awkward banter. I appreciate Ember sticking to a catchphrase but I feel like Shotzi should change up her add-on. She already used “MARBLES!” so maybe other synonyms for going crazy should be used. In that Triple Threat, they all have reason to get after The Way, but given the recent build, I think Shirai & Stark get the nod for Great American Bash. At the same time, I don’t think the challengers take the titles off The Way, unless Dexter Lumis returns to distract Indi with his apology about that Poppy misunderstanding. Love conquers all, and #InDex is gonna conquer The Way.
The other half of The Way had great stuff, too. Gargano and Theory are so great together, both in promos and in matches. They had an awesome match with Dunne & Oney, Gargano got to unleash again, and Kross going after Gargano totally means those two face off, maybe even at The Great American Bash. Kross will certainly cross off Gargano and just keep going until Kyle comes back around. Speaking of which, Kyle and Kushida each had great promos to hype the main event, and it was definitely a match that lived up to the hype. Kyle winning with a quick pin rather than any finisher is great, it keeps Kushida strong enough given what’s coming next.
Cole attacking Kyle makes sense, and I like that it wasn’t used to “ruin” the main event. And it all worked that Joe was more focused on that chaos than what ended up happening in the ring. The Diamond Mine was hyped for showing up tonight, and just when it seemed like they wouldn’t, they did! I could not have ever guessed it was Roderick Strong coming back after claiming he was quitting. And at the same time, the writing was there for Rust and Bivens. “Diamond in the Rust,” that all comes back around to be Rust is in the Diamond Mine and that is clever.
The third man, though not named here, is apparently Hideki Suzuki, who has built his career for the last 13 years in the Japanese independents, having Pro-Wrestling Zero1’s Triple Crown. I therefore know very little else, but if he’s in NXT and debuting through this group, he’s a big deal and will show us some great stuff in the coming weeks.
My Score: 9.3/10

Maya goes up, up, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Maya handsprings up and the fans cheer her on! Maya runs in and BACK BODY BLOCKS! Megan runs up but is sent into Lena!

Winners: The Divine Dominion, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions)
Hyan & Maya put up quite the fight, but they could not overcome these demigods! Will Megan & Lena always stand atop the mountain like true Olympians? Or will a team find the secret to dethroning the Divine Dominion?
The truest, most basic battle has always been between right and wrong.
Two sides of a coin decide an entire future. But which side dictates righteousness? Is it a soldier of fortune? Or a soldier of ambition? A toxic entity? Or justified aggressor? Is it the revenge seekers? Or the perpetrators of the original sin? A devil or a god? No matter the side you stand, the only way to prove right or wrong is through the other side. Tonight, AEW builds its Dynasty!
Kazuchika Okada & Konosuke Takeshita VS The Young Bucks!
Don Callis joins commentary so he can watch his Michael Jordan & Scottie Pippen put down Matt & Nick Jackson, all in the name of avenging Kyle Fletcher! But will the incentive of Okada VS Takeshita be enough to hold the team together? Or will Vancouver be throwing a Superkick Party?
The teams sort out and the fans are already losing their minds over this dream match. Konosuke and Nick start and circle as the fans rally. They tie up, Nick headlocks, but Konosuke powers out. They RAM shoulders, then Konosuke dares Nick to go again. Nick runs, but Konosuke RUNS him over! Konosuke runs, Nick stays low, but Konosuke ducks ‘n’ dodges to TAKESHITA LINE! The fans fire up, and Okada asks for the tag. Konosuke tags Okada in, and they work together to double whip and DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE! Okada adds an ELBOW DROP, then Konosuke adds an ELBOW DROP!
The fans cheer Okada and Konosuke as they shake hands! Okada scoops Nick, SLAMS him down, then slingshot SENTONS from the apron! Okada mocks The Bucks’ signature pose, then stalks Nick to the corner. Okada tags Konosuke, they double whip but Nick blocks a shot to CHOP! Nick goes up and over Okada to then “LUCHA LIBRE~!” FLYING ARM-DRAG RANA COMBO! The fans fire up while Nick tags Matt. Matt whips, Okada reverses, but Matt goes up and over. Nick GAMANGIRIS before helping Matt with the SLICED BREAD! Then SHINING WIZARD! Konosuke storms in, but into double kicks!
The Bucks double whip, but Konosuke dodges! Konosuke waistlocks Matt, Matt switches to shove Konosuke and Nick waistlocks. Matt runs up, but Konosuke BOOTS him! Konosuke switches, Nick switches, Matt runs up, SUNSET GERMAN SUPLEX! Then The Bucks DOUBLE LARIAT Konosuke up and out! The fans fire up while Okada regroups with Takeshita. Nick and Matt work together, MONKEY FLIP ASAI MOONSAULT! The fans are thunderous again but Callis gets pissed! Nick drags Konosuke up and puts him in the ring. Matt scoops, Nick aims from the apron, but Okada hurries in! Nick fakes the springboard to make Okada whiff on his dropkick!
Matt CLUBS Konosuke, Nick springboards, MISSILE DROPKICK SENTON COMBO! The fans fire up and rally behind The Bucks, Nick whips Matt so he can WRECK Konosuke with a dropkick! Nick runs, but Okada FLAPJACKS him onto Matt! Matt falls and Okada grins while Nick flounders away. Okada goes out and asks, “How’s your brother’s d*ck?” Konosuke covers Matt, TWO! Okada RAMS Nick into railing while Konosuke clamps onto Matt with a chinlock. The fans tell Callis off while Konosuke clamps on with a tighter hold.

“Kamille, if you wanted a title shot, if you wanted a fight, all you had to do was ask. Because as so many other girls have already learned, if you wanna make a comeback at my expense, it’s not as easy as just blindsiding me. I will kill your comeback before it even gets out of the gate. I may not be 100%, but I will be clear this Wednesday. So if you wanna hop on the welcome wagon, Miss American Gladiator, I’ll see you at Spring Break Thru!” The Babe with the Power is going to get her payback, but will she keep her title? Or will there be a new Face of TBS?

Andrew’s TNA Rebellion Results & Match Ratings: 4.11.2026
TNA Rebellion is tonight from Cleveland! A legit PPV with hopefully some stuff to talk about!
I may not be drunk enough for this show, but maybe it will surprise all of us. The previous iMPACT! episodes have been lame and fairly cringe the last few weeks and Sacrifice was a dud. Now I’m aware that unlike Sacrifice this is a legit PPV, so you can only assume we’ll get better booking.
And yes, I saw the video teasing EC3 coming to Rebellion. So we’ll see what kind of role he plays.
BREAKING: You CAN'T MISS #TNARebellion THIS SATURDAY LIVE on PPV and TNA+!

Results:
Countdown to Rebellion: Ryan Nemeth vs BDE
Ryan heels it up hard coming out in Yellow and Black trunks with Steelers logos all over it and a tag line of “Buns of Steel”.
Since Ryan has been running his mouth about his win, BDE Dropkicks Ryan in the face right as the bell rings. Ryan powders, BDE dives after him, throws him back in, Scoop Slam and Ryan powders again. Another Dive and Ryan can’t get out of the blocks. BDE rolls Ryan back in, Crossbody and Ryan eats it. BDE goes to the top rope again, but Ryan finally connects on a Dropkick to knock BDE off and Ryan starts rocking him on the outside. Brings him back in with some Ground and Pound, into a Rude Awakening, and a near fall.
Ryan keeps him grounded with a Headlock and then a takedown when BDE tries to fight up. BDE does sneak in a kick when Ryan telegraphs the Backdrop, corner to corner kick, splash and a Clip Cutter connects! Only a two count though! BDE looks shocked but Ryan manages a DDT to give himself some space. BDE with an Enzuigiri, repositions Ryan, hits a Frog Splash, but Ryan powders and then throats BDE on the Top Rope. BDE is staggered, Hollywood Ending! The Baby Brother actually wins again!
X Division Championship: Cedric Alexander vs Leon Slater (c)
Cedric goes for some early attempts at mat wrestling. Standing switch, attempted leg pick, but Leon kicks him off. Cedric whips Leon into the ropes, Springboard Back Elbow into Yakuza Kick to clear Cedric onto the floor. Leon tries a Plancha, but Cedric side steps, tries to throw Leon into the steps but he jumps the steps and leaps at Cedric. Cedric retreats back into the ring but Leon flies to the top of the turnbuckles and hits a Crossbody for a near fall. Leon Chops Cedric in the corner, into the 10 Count Punches, but Cedric slips it at 10, tries to pull him into a Backdrop, but Leon fights off, rope assisted Leg Drop. But Cedric hits a nasty Flatliner from the outside in over the ropes. Leon is reeling on the apron, Cedric hits and STO and then Backbreaker onto the apron. Leon is selling like he got a stinger, and Cedric then snaps off a German Suplex to put more focus on the back and neck.
A bit of a back and forth, Cedric Snapmares Leon forward and then Dropkick to the back of the neck before just punching him a few times while he’s down. Cedric taunts at the crowd, Leon hits a Wrecking Ball Dropkick but Cedric catches him with another German Suplex for a two count. Cedric with a Chin Lock, rains down elbows right into the stinger area and tries to keep Leon grounded. Leon tries to fire back up, but a Standing Switch into Eye Gouges, and Leon is disoriented. Cedric is just open hand slapping the shit out of him before Leon connects with a Superkick when Cedric gets cocky.
Slater grabs wrist control, Chops and Punches, Cedric tries to whip him off but Leon does the Spiderman Water Wheel Kick. Yakuza Kick connects, Leon gets cocky so he misses the Splash but rolls through as Cedric powders, Leon hits his jump over the post Tope con Hilo. Throws him back in, Destino from Leon! But only a two count! 450 miss, Sole Butt from Cedric, back and forth, Axe Kick to the back of Cedric’s head but Cedric catches Leon with a Michinoku Driver for two. Slater counters Cedric, floats through, tries a Styles Clash, but Cedric slips it, Superkick, Lumbar Check counter! Cedric crotches Leon, hits a Flying Lariat into a Brainbuster for only two! Cedric perches Leon, goes for a Super…Corkscrew Brainbuster into the buckle! Lumbar Check! CEDRIC…over rotates on the cover and Leon gets his foot on the bottom rope!
Cedric stomps Leon out of frustration, walks over to the X Division title, kisses it and brings it to the ring. Leon grabs him though, Styles Clash onto the belt, Swanton 450 and Leon retains out of nowhere.
Good, but could’ve been better if Leon knew how to sell and wasn’t carried by Cedric. Leon doesn’t deserve to break the Austin Aries longest reign, so stop trying to force history.
Frankie Kazarian vs Elijah
The whole graveyard video segment from iMPACT! was the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen, and I enjoy watching JCW Lunacy. Hopefully the match produces.
Kaz powders quick as soon as Elijah grabs him. Kaz wants the chase, but Elijah doesn’t follow, and hits Kaz with a Big Boot, then lighting him up with Knife Edge Chops around the world style. Each corner gets some action before Elijah runs the ropes and hits a Flying Lariat. Elijah continues to play Around the World with each side of the apron, smashing Kaz’s face into the apron and then hitting the Drive-By Style Knee. Rope Walk, into the clubbing blow on the extended arm. Kaz finally with the up and over, snapping a German and sending Elijah neck first into the buckles.
Elijah powders, Kaz keeps him outside and then hits the Plancha into the Frankensteiner to stay in full control. Slingshot Leg Drop from Kaz, decides for the blatant choke instead of the near fall. Rope Bounce Russian Leg Sweep from Kaz, and Kaz is soaking in the boo-birds. Elijah finally starts to fight back, baits the Leg Drop so Kaz misses and they both need a moment. Elijah goes for a Springboard Forearm, but Kaz grabs the guitar strap and whips Elijah with it. The referee is allowing it, Kaz even says “DQ me then”. After connecting about four shots, Elijah stops it, but then hits his Sole Butt, Back Fist, Lariat combo. Elijah gets shoved into the corner, Kaz works him over and is now trying his own Rope Walk. Kaz taunts too long and Elijah just chucks Kaz across the ring from the Rope Walk.
Both men get up, big Lariat, Kaz rolls over the telegraph, Backstabber, Sliding Lariat, but Elijah catches the Leg Drop and turns it into an Electric Chair Powerbomb for two! Elijah punches in the corner, the referee pushes him back, a little back and forth, Kaz tries to catch him with a Crossbody but Elijah connects his with his Knee Lift. Goes to the floor, grabs his strap and turnabout is fair play. So now Kaz is getting dog walked. Elijah beats him like he owes him money, South of Heaven Chokeslam for two.
Kaz powders but grabs the guitar, Elijah cuts him off and slides Kaz and the guitar in. Kaz pulls Elijah in and Slingshot Cutter connects on the guitar. Elijah fires, Kaz wants the Alabama Slam, but kicks off with the ropes. Elijah tries to use the broken guitar, but the referee takes that, Kaz hits the Low Blow while the referee’s back is turned and Roll Up for the win.
Agent Zero vs Moose w/Lish
Zero dives onto Moose during his entrance, so he shoves Lish out of the way and she’s limping a little. Zero clocks Moose a few times before heading back in, Moose says he’s good to go and immediately turns it around. A few Chops, Plancha onto Zero and Moose sets up a table while the referee counts. Zero cuts off any table ideas, resets the count and now eyes the table for himself. Zero tries the Powerbomb but Moose counters with the Backdrop onto the apron. Moose throws Zero back in, charges with an Uppercut, Zero tries his own charge but Moose Dropkicks him back out of the ring. Moose runs gets caught and Zero Powerbombs Moose into the ring post.
Sizing him up, Zero looks to Chokebomb Moose, but Moose breaks it and they start throwing fists. Lariat collision, Pump Kick from Moose, Uppercut, Moose perches Zero and goes for a Superplex…and connects! Zero kips up and back to slamming into each other. Zero gathers himself on the apron, Moose charges and hits the Diving Spear and drives Zero through the table. Both drag themselves in at 7, go forehead to forehead, and Takayama/Frye hockey fight. Moose gets turned inside out with a Lariat, End of Days from Zero, but Moose kicks out at one. He’s hulking up with the truck horn “Moose” call, blocks a punch, Headbutt, Uranage into a Senton. Moose with his own Kip Up and Warrior rope shake, Zero side steps Moose so he heads outside, Zero Dives, Moose catches Zero mid air and Powerbombs him onto the steps!
Moose throws Zero back in, looks for Lights Out, but The Great Hands show up, Moose kicks Skyler who has a hold of Lish, so they both go crashing and Lish seems hurt. Moose goes out to check on her, and carries her out but Zero hits the Busaiku Knee while he’s carrying Lish. Zero with the Chokebomb into the apron, rolls Moose back in, things look done. Moose is goozled, another Chokebomb and Zero wins.
Overbooked just to have Zero win. Kind of pathetic and Zero wasn’t even smooth in the finish. This dude is the most pathetic “enforcer” to ever exist.
Hardcore Country Match: ODB, Taryn Terrell & Mickie James vs Elegance Brand w/Personal Concierge & Mr. Elegance
Elegantos bring out signs saying they aren’t Marks and Mickie walks out with a bright orange “Mark Bucket”. This might be cringe, but it has potential to be fun, especially with the Elegance brand looking like Hooters Waitresses.
Legends cut off ASH mid rant. The legends tear up their signs and all six just start throwing things into the ring. Chairs, Kendo Sticks, Trash Cans, Barbed Wire, Brooms, Stop Signs, a cactus toy…yeah this is ridiculous. Taryn finds a barbie doll or something to jam into ASH’s hip. Trash Cans, Kendo sticks…silly fun crap. ASH starts fighting with the crowd, Love is Blind Ohio people. ASH and Maggie get buckets put on their heads and smashed into each other. Taryn has a slop bucket filled with Lollipops, Heather tries to stop her but Taryn counters and German Suplex into the lollipops.
The Elegance Hooters girls huddle up as the legends throw the lollipops into the crowd and then Baseball Slide into the huddle. Elegance girls throw Taryn and Mickie into the steps, they triple team ODB. Cowbell ties her to the bottom rope. They grab hay bales and a wheelbarrow to try and throw Mickie in, but Mickie counters. Maggie goes flying through the Wheelbarrow, Heather eats hay, Taryn uses a lollipop to stop ASH from hitting them with a Stop Sign. This is dumb fun. ODB finds a little beer cooler filled with Pickles! A Pickle Dick chant starts as ASH gets thrown into the concierge. Mr. Elegance tries to save him, but they hit him in the dick and shove his face in the pickle juice. They start pelting them with pickles, and the legends now surround the concierge. Tarynfinds a Pickle suit! He’s a Pickle Morty!
Taryn flies off the top rope for a wrestling move into the group of bozos. ODB slams ASH, her and Mickie set up a WAZZUP, but Mr. Elegance. He pushes Mickie off the turnbuckle, lariats ODB, gyrates over ODB and she grabs a cattle prod and shoves it into Mr. Elegance’s dick. ASH uses Hairspray to stop ODB, and then all three Hooters Waitresses cover ODB for the win.
This was fun but completely stupid.
Why are Tommy Dreamer and the loser Carlos Silva on my screen? Oh they are announcing ODB as their next Hall of Fame inductee. I’ll allow it. I still don’t want them on my TV normally though.
Nic Nemeth w/Bernie Kosar vs AJ Francis
AJ hits a Superkick immediately for two, AJ tries to tune up the band, but Nic dodges. Then Nic dodges the corner splash and hits his own Stinger Splash. Nic keeps trying to cut down the big man, tries the Implant DDT but AJ stop him and throws him to the outside. AJ wants a Down Payment into the apron, but Nic stops it, tries a Flying Forearm but catches a right hand from AJ. AJ walks back into the ring and waits on the top rope for the count out. Nic is reeling but gets back in by 7.
The pain doesn’t stop, splash, a big Irish Whip into the corner, Tennessee Whiskey has AJ walk up on Bernie Kosar and start talking shit. Bernie stands up, but doesn’t get involved yet, even though the crowd wants him to. Nic is getting bodied so far. AJ wants a Down Payment, but Nic fires, a few quick shots, hits the ropes and eats a Big Boot! AJ only gets two, but Nic really hasn’t done much. Nic fights out of the lift, tries to lift AJ himself, but Nic buckles under the weight and AJ gets a near fall. AJ tries to keep Nic down, but he finally comes to life a bit, a few Headbutts rocks AJ, Implant DDT and then Nic hits the 10 Elbows Shots to the Heart. He revvs up, does the John Cena you can’t see me and hits the Attitude Adjustment on AJ!
AJ hits the TFL for an impactful two count, but Nic won’t stay down. AJ is hunting for the Down Payment, Nic stumbles into it but counters it with a FameASSER! Nic climbs the corner, AJ hits the ropes to crotch him, does a taunting Eddie shimmy, Nic fights back, Headbutts are the equalizer for Nic. Nic hits an Avalanche Danger Zone! Slow to cover, but an awesome spot, 1-2-KICK OUT! AJ powders, Nic dives after him but gets caught and Down Payment connects on the floor. AJ taunts in front of Bernie, rolls Nic back in, and keeps talking shit. Bernie gets up as AJ grabs a chair. The referee keeps AJ at bay, ref takes the chair from AJ and then AJ attacks the referee. AJ grabs the chair back, Bernie gets in the ring to put himself between AJ and Nic. AJ and Bernie are gonna have a scrum, but before AJ flattens Bernie, KC Navarro shows up!
KC has AJ distracted, Bernie grabs the chair, hits AJ with it, Superkick, Danger Zone and KC throws the referee back into the ring to count the pinfall! Silly finish, but I’m not mad since KC Navarro is back!
Knockouts World Championship: Lei Ying Lee w/Xia Brookside vs Arianna Grace w/Stacks
Arianna tries to psyche herself up by saying she’s not scared of Lei. They scuffle on the apron and Stacks already tries to get involved 90 seconds into the match. A quick Sweep, a few punches, and Stacks gets involved again. Arianna tries to take advantage of it, but Lei kicks her away and then hits a Missile Dropkick. Arianna powders, catches Lei when she follows, Stacks YET AGAIN gets involved and Arianna slams Lei into the post. Follows up with a Pump Kick and Twisting Neckbreaker for two. A little ground and pound, Lei tries to Sunset Flip, but Stacks grabs Arianna’s hands so she doesn’t go over. Xia is yelling for the referee to actually do his damn job, and it finally works.
During the chaos, Lei goes for a Roll Up, for two, Open Hand Palm Thrusts, Roundhouse, Sole Butt, Thrust Kick and the 10 Count Downstrikes. T-Bone suplex from Lei, only a two count. Arianna gets perched in the corner, Lei tries to follow but Arianna kicks her off, Bulldog for two. Arianna perches Lei, but Lei shoves her away and Arianna kicks her back. Arianna wants the Superplex but Lei blocks and hits a Blockbuster for two! Lei lifts Arianna for Warrior’s Way but Arianna claws the face, TKO Facebuster from Arianna for two! Then she tries to rip the turnbuckle pad off but it won’t budge, so she grabs the belt and the referee stops her. Arianna has a meltdown, grabs Lei, connects with Warrior’s Way but Xia puts Arianna’s foot on the bottom rope.
Xia attacks Lei while Arianna distracts the referee. Xia throws Lei into steps. The referee is blind as usual, Xia throws Lei back in and Arianna hits her Shining Wizard tot he back of Lei’s head to retain.
Wow, TNA really did absolutely nothing with “Angel Warriors”. You name a team, and do nothing and then the heel turn feels forced and obvious within the match. This is bad booking.
Eric Young calls out nepo baby EC3. EC3 comes out, the classic Trouble, Trouble, Trouble theme and EC3 has grown his hair out, shaved his face, so he looks like he used to. His promo is a little…awkward but he at least feels more like the EC3 that people fell in love with and not what he became after the WWE flame out, CYN and NWA.
International Championship: Trey Miguel (c) vs Mustafa Ali w/Order 4
Ali comes out with some kind of Borg, Terminator…something entrance. It’s cool…just not sure what to make of it.
Ali with the Headlock, a few strikes, Shoulder Tackle, Leap Frog, and the rope runs turn into Ali catching him with a Headscissor. Ali tries to talk shit but Trey picks the Headscissor to send Ali to powder. Ali with the Collar and Elbow feint into the Knee Lift. Ali chops, Trey asks for more, eats two more and Enzuigiri rocks Ali. Ali flips over Trey out of the corner, Ali charges, Trey Leap Frogs and Ali eats the middle turnbuckle like only he can! Trey hits the step over con Hilo. Skyler tries to distract but Ali misses the Senton, bounces off the corner and lands on his feet at Trey grabs the Headscissors and spins it into a Destroyer. All of Order 4 distract and get involved. Ali throws Trey off the buckles into an awaiting Tasha who hits the Okurrr. It’s only a two count, but Order 4 is already displaying the numbers game. Ali sends Trey into the corner but he erupts and takes Ali’s head off with a Lariat. Trey wants to continue but Ali counters and turns it into a Roll Through Cutter.
Ali takes a little too long and gets caught with a School Boy, but only for two. Back and forth Suplex blocks, but Ali eventually powers over Trey into a Fisherman’s Suplex Hold, only for two. Ali tries to Powerbomb Trey onto the steps, Trey gets away and lands the Meteora, driving Ali into the steps. Cool spot. Both men limp back in, a few strikes, some rope run, Trey with a Frankensteiner into his Rebound, Standing Switch, German Suplex. Then we get a series of Standing Switches before Ali snaps off a DDT. Rope runs continue as Trey now with a Satellite DDT and near fall. Both just mirror each other, Sunsets, roll throughs, Dropkicks from both. Ali goes for his Rolling Neckbreaker but Trey counters it with a Stomp!
They jockey for position in the corner, Spanish Fly from Ali! Only a near fall, but that’s expected, neither one of them finish people with that. Ali collects himself, goes up, misses the 450 and gets caught by a Cutter! Ali powders, Trey hits his Kneeslide DDT, back in the ring, Trey connects with Meteora and Ali kicks out! Tasha distracts the referee, Great Hands hit Trey with their entrance helmets, 450 Splash from Ali and ALI WINS!

Tag Team Championship: Bear Bronson & Brian Myers vs The Hardyz (c)
This feels like the perfect way for the Hardyz to lose, since they’re coming off of a table match with The Righteous and the previous attacks from The Righteous.
Myers grabs the injured left arm, and Jeff just punches to try and detract Myers from doing too much, but even the early tandem offense from the Hardyz, they are selling the injuries. Matt wincing, limping, Hardyz take the early control with Delete Headsmashes and a Side Effect. But Myers powders, Matt tries to pursue but gets caught by Bear. Matt crumples, Myers slams him into the apron a few times, locks in a Heel Hook before tagging in Bear so he can get some free hits on Matt. Bear attacks Jeff, just to cause him to attack and take the referee’s attention.
Bear continues to work over Matt’s ribs, but Matt fires and removes his shirt showing all the tape but doing it to prove a point. Matt tries a Sunset Flip, but Bear blocks and sits on Matt’s chest. Tag out to Myers, Myers cinques in the Bear Hug on the ribs, which you’d think the guy named Bear…nevermind. Myers follows it up with a Saito Suplex and looking for the Spear. But eats a kick and a Twist of Fate. Bear breaks the pinfall, Jeff in incensed, the referee separates everyone. Simultaneous tags to Bear and Jeff. Jeff has the fire, Manhattan Drop, Leg Drop, Low Dropkick and Elbow Drop for two. Jeff is rolling but gets caught by Bear in the Blackhole Slam. Myers hits the Elbow Drop from off screen and Matt has to break up the pin. Double Lariat spot on the outside for Myers and Matt.
In the ring we see Jeff on the mat and Bear is stalking. They start the Fighting Spirit spot, and it makes some sense here, so I’m not as mad as usual. Jeff hits the Jawbreaker, looks for Spinal Destination, but Bear hasn’t submitted yet. Myers eventually breaks it up as Matt is only a few steps behind. Plot Twist from the Hardyz on Myers! Bear is being double teamed, Poetry in Motion? Connects! Matt wants the Twist, Jeff goes up for the Swanton. Shirt comes off, Swanton incoming…but Myers grabs the bad arm and drags Jeff over the rope. Myers takes out Matt, Tandem Fire/Thunder Driver! THE SYSTEM WIN!
World Heavyweight Championship: Eddie Edwards vs Mike Santana (c)
Things start off really slow, tentative lock ups and push offs, a few Arm Drags, look at each other moments. Spin the Block miss, Rolling Buck Fifty Miss, Boston Knee Party misses and Eddie powders out of frustration since they’ve been swinging at the wind. Now they are playing the tough guy thing of hitting each other with Shoulder Tackles. Santana runs through a Chop and drills Eddie causing him to powder again. They chase, Eddie slides in, tries to surprise Mike with the Boston Knee Party but misses. A few Chops from Eddie but Santana with a Lionsault, into a Dive, now a Frog Splash, misses! Flapjack into Tiger Driver from Eddie for two!
Both men roll outside again, brawl for a bit, Mike tries to Spin the Block, but Eddie moves and Mike hits the post. Eddie throws Mike into the steps and takes his time before resetting the 10 count. Eddie with a few strikes into the corner when they get back in, Mike fights back, but when he charges Eddie moves and Mike posts himself. Then Eddie sends Mike across the ring into the other post on purpose. He’s working over the Spin the Block arm.
Eddie keeps pressure on an Armbar, but Mike fights up, a few strikes and a diving Lariat help to give Mike a minute to breathe. Both men are up, Eddie charges, misses, eats a Gamengiri but then Mike eats a Chop. Eddie gets caught in Outlined in Chalk, a Cannonball and Batista Bomb for two! Santana quickly climbs, Frog Splash, but only two again. Eddie gouges the eyes as they brawl on the apron, Eddie jams Mike’s shoulder into the post and then hits a Fisherman’s Buster into the apron! Eddie exposes the floor and looks for another Tiger Driver. Santana blocks the first few times, they go back and forth before Mike catches Eddie with a Spicolli Driver into the concrete. The count gets to 9 and both guys barely slide it and meet forehead to forehead in the middle. Simultaneous Front Kicks and Lariats.
Lish makes her way down the ramp on crutches, Moose’s music hits shortly after and he points to the tron to show up something. Lish was faking the injury, it shows that Lish has been playing Moose the entire time. Myers and Bear attack Moose, Santana Dives onto them, slides back in and Eddie catches him with a Boston Knee Party! But only a two count! Lish tries to throw in the crutch but gets caught, Moose hits Lights Out, 1-2-and the referee screws up the count. Lish was probably supposed to grab the referee, but it wasn’t timed well. Cedric gets caught by Santana, another Boston Knee Party! But Santana still kicks out!
Eddie wanted a PK, gets caught, eats a Spin the block, hits another Boston Knee Party, but Santana powers through and connects with another Spin the Block to retain.
Overall Score: 7.75/10
Well nothing was pure garbage. Even though the Knockouts Title was the lowest rated, the point of the match being to drive Xia’s heel turn made sense. It was just cringe interference from Stacks and Xia’s overdramatic desire to kick him out telegraphed the heel turn. Lish secretly playing Moose was obvious but at least the revealed it in a marginally clever way. The Knockouts 6 Women match was just pure fun, X Division and International were solid work and entertaining matches. Ali winning and The Hardyz dropping the belts after being beat to hell makes sense and is best for business at the moment.
Let’s also not forget the Undead Realm moment. Abyss and James Mitchell was surprisingly sweet and poignant. It was nice to see them do “DOOMSDAY” one more time. EC3 also looking like Ethan Carter III and trying to get that old swagger back was nice. But hell, my expectations we low, but this was a really good show. Not quite at the “Show of the Year” level, but definitely a impressive and big time vibe to really draw some excitement for the next two months of programming before Slammiversary.
Oh and KC NAVARRO is back! Fuck yeah boys and girls! Catch your blessings!
