As for Joe, he and Mark get heated, but Wolfgang hurries out to cool them down. Joe still wants to argue but Mark doesn’t get it. Will Gallus fall apart as the Iron King keeps thinking about himself?

NXT UK looks back at last week’s title match.

Another instant classic of brutality for THE NXT UK Championship as Ilja Dragunov and Roderick Strong gave it their all. But in the end, UNBESIEGBAR withstood the pressure. Afterward, media asks him his opinion of Strong. He wanted them to wait a moment, he needed to catch his breath from that “near-death experience.” He found Strong backstage, and Strong was the one to say that Dragunov is special. They will see each other again. Dragunov looks forward to it. They shake hands, though Dragunov’s arm bothered him. Jordan Devlin walks in and mocking this “family moment.”

Devlin says Strong is lucky, dodging the Irish Ace. But Dragunov isn’t so lucky. When Devlin said “empty arena,” he didn’t mean tables and chairs and stairs. It was about not beating Devlin 1v1. Dragunov may have the title, but Devlin’s still the ace. Dragunov snarls as Devlin walks away, will we get another brutal instant classic between Czar and ace?

NXT UK hears from Sam Gradwell and Kenny Williams.

The Thunderstorm says, “Kenny Williams, you silly little boy. You horrible little school bug decided to stick your nose where it didn’t belong.” But the Scum of the Earth asks Gradwell if he wants to know why Kenny chose him. “Because you’ve got the biggest mouth. And I wanted to be the one to shut you up.” Gradwell says Kenny has no idea who he is or where he comes from. Gradwell grew up in the slums of Blackpool, and what it’s like to starve. He can’t bring Kenny to Gradwell’s street, but he can bring those streets to Kenny. That is what’s gonna happen in this Back Alley Brawl!

Kenny says Gradwell chose this! He wanted a match with Kenny, bringing the streets to him. Well Gradwell should relax. He just made the biggest mistake of his life! When they have it out, Gradwell will prove Kenny is just a scared little boy begging for attention. But Kenny says that what he’ll do to Gradwell when no one can stop him, “you don’t wanna find out.” Gradwell says there is nothing Kenny can take from him that hasn’t been taken before. Kenny is ruthless and resilient, because he’s the Scum of the Earth. But Gardwell says Kenny can’t hang with him in a Back Alley Brawl. Kenny will never forget the day he picked a fight with Gradwell.

This match- no, this FIGHT, is happening next week! Two men enter, but only one man will leave on his own power! Who survives NXT UK’s most brutal match yet?

Meiko Satomura heads to the ring!

The Final Boss’ reign is still going at just over 300 days, but the reason she doesn’t have the NXT UK Women’s Championship is because Isla Dawn refused to leave without it in her possession! The Wicked Witch has taunted Meiko with the title itself, but Meiko has a mic to say, “I am here to speak, Isla Dawn. Isla, you have something that belongs to me. COME HERE, and bring me my NXT UK Women’s Championship!” Isla obliges by making her way out to the ring. “Oh, Meiko~.” Isla says she is just blown away at Meiko’s kindness at extending an invite this time. Isla laughs as the lights, and the mood, start to change.

“Sadly, it’s not me you want to see, is it?” Don’t get her wrong, Meiko surely misses the title terribly. In their short time together, Isla has grown quite attached to it. And oh, have they reveled in purgatory together! But… Isla is willing to temporarily give this back. But on one teeny tiny condition: they have a rematch. And it’ll be under Isla’s own “chaotic” rules. Isla laughs then admires the belt. Isla carefully sets the belt down before Meiko, gives it a kiss, and says Meiko should take one last look at it. “Soon, it will be all mine!” Isla laughs and Meiko carefully picks the belt up. Meiko has already told Isla, if she wants to fight, she only has to ask.

But then Isla spits BLACK MIST at Meiko! Fans boo as Meiko writhes and tries to clear her eyes! Isla says her “ascension” will take place in HER domain! “In a world of darkness~!” Isla laughs again, but what does she mean by all that? What rules will Isla use to being her reign in NXT UK?

NXT UK Media interviews Amale.

They want to know if she will be watching the in-ring debut of Xia Brookside’s friend, Eliza Alexander. Of course she will. And Amale wants to use this time to warn her and Xia that while we’ve seen her sweet side, they can’t get it twisted. She is still full of rage, and it is only a matter of time until she gets her hands on Xia and Eliza. Then she’ll show them just what an angry French Hope looks like!

NXT UK share what happened during the break.

Gallus was not done arguing things out, as they could be heard from inside their own locker room. Joe stormed out of the room and the reporters asked what was wrong, but Wolfgang told Mark to just let Joe do whatever before slamming the door. Is the Gallus kingdom about to crumble?

NXT UK hears from Wild Boar and Mark Andrews.

Subculture’s high-fiving, stage-diving, skateboarder rockstar says, “People might not know this, but me and the Wild Boar, we’ve got a 15 year friendship. And out of all those years, the only time we weren’t on the same page was when Eddie Dennis got in the Boar’s head.” In Andrews’ culture, friends are supposed to stand united. Boar tells Dennis, “I know you’re scared to face me one-on-one, because when I get my hands on you, I will rip you limb from limb!” Andrews calms Boar down, they both want to get after Dennis, but it’s about fighting him mentally first. Dennis will never give someone a fair fight, he always wants the odds in his favor.

So that’s why Andrews and his chair are here! They’ll even those odds! Boar tells Symbiosis, “You are the hunted! BOAR! BOAR! BOAR!” Will Dennis, T-Bone and Primate have to watch their backs from now on?

Eliza Alexander w/ Xia Brookside VS Angel Hayze!

The French Hope has put the “princesses of pro-wrestling” on notice, but #LizzyEvo and daddy’s girl Xia aren’t going to sweat that. Will Eliza make a big impact in her first match here in NXT UK? Or will Angel leave her in a haze?

The bell rings and fans rally for Angel as she tie sup with Eliza. Angel gets the arm but Eliza CLUBS her right away! Eliza headlocks, grinds Angel down, but Angel fights with body shots. Angel powers out, things speed up, and Angel sobats hard! Angel runs, and dropkicks Eliza down! Angel hurries to then roll Eliza up, TWO! Eliza runs in, Angel gets around and waistlocks, but Eliza pries the hold open to switch. Eliza RAMS Angel into buckles, then CLOBBERS her from behind! Cover, TWO! Eliza tells fans to shut up, then she stalks Angel to a corner. Eliza throws a hard body shot! Fans boo but Eliza just stalks Angel.

Angel throws a shot of her own but Eliza CLUBS her down! Eliza drags Angel up, snapmares her through and then KICKS her in the back! Cover, ONE! Xia says the count should be faster! Eliza drags Angel up as fans are all behind Angel. Eliza bumps Angel off buckles hard, then stalks Angel again. Eliza KNEES Angel in the side, but fans boo again. Eliza soaks up the heat, KICKS Angel again, then talks some trash. She KNEES Angel again, and Xia is very pleased. Eliza brings Angel up, kicks her around, kicks her some more, then reels her in, only for Angel to get around and throw forearms and uppercuts!

Angel DECKS Eliza and fans fire up! Angel back body blocks in the corner, runs and SLINGBLADES Eliza down! Cover, TWO! Fans rally behind Angel but Xia coaches Eliza. Angel aims from a corner, tunes up the band, and Eliza stands. Angel runs in but Eliza blocks the kick to throw Angel down! Eliza then LARIATS Angel! Eliza still isn’t done, she drags Angel up by her hair, runs and SLIDING KNEES!! Cover, Eliza wins!

Winner: Eliza Alexander, by pinfall

Xia celebrates like Eliza just won a title! But Eliza did show she can just about take someone’s head off. Will Eliza and Xia take over NXT UK together, no matter who stands in their way?

NXT UK Media interviews Emilia McKenzie.

Millie has been here for over a year now, and has been building quite a winning streak. What’s the reason for that? Well, hard work pays off. And when you train with the best in Meiko Satomura, it’s hard not to follow in her footsteps. But Stevie Turner overhears this and says, “Wow, wow! I’m in awe of you, I really am.” Millie is so happy in her position here. In a world where everyone’s fighting to be number one, Millie chooses to be number two. But Stevie is well aware that Meiko chose Millie, too, because she doesn’t see Millie as a threat. Just something to think about. Stevie heads out, but will Millie show her just how strong second place can be?

NXT UK hears from Moustache Mountain and their challengers.

Trent Seven says, “They say that history is only written by the winners. Here in NXT UK, that’s bang on.” Tyler Bate says, “You’re looking at a pair of history-makers.” Seven has tricks up his sleeve because he and Tyler have to keep these titles! It’s all about winning! But Oliver Carter says Seven needed to swat Ashton Smith’s leg off the ropes, he needed to cheat, because he was desperate. It showed everyone that Smith & Carter are the real best tag team in NXT UK. Seven & Bate may have knocked the hottest tag team down, but they’re coming for those titles. They need those titles.

These two teams went 1-1 in 1v1, and despite the controversy, Seven says a win is a win. Smith asks Bate how he can stand by a man who doesn’t have the confidence in himself to win cleanly against Smith & Carter. Seven says he’s made it clear! He- they will do anything and everything to keep the titles! But no more disrespect and no more cheating. Their tag title rematch is TWO OUTTA THREE FALLS! The hottest tag team under the sun is gonna burn down the cabin atop Moustache Mountain! But Tyler says that if you do not learn from history, you are doomed to repeat it. So history will repeat itself here as it always does.

Smith says we will know once and for all who is the best tag team in NXT UK. And you’re looking at them right now! Will Smith & Carter not just be the hottest tag team under the sun, but will they become the freshest champions on the brand?

A-Kid VS Teoman w/ Die Familie!

The Spanish Sensation may have had a great showing in the States, but he is back in NXT UK to stand up to The Babo. Will A-Kid be able to blind the Evil Eye and derail Die Familie’s dominance? Or has Teoman already seen the future of A-Kid’s failures?

The bell rings and A-Kid circles with Teoman. Fans taunt Die Familie as Teoman and AK tie up. AK gets a waistlock but Teoman wrenches free. AK rolls away and the two reset. They feel out the grapple to knuckle locks, but AK waistlocks to drag Teoman down. AK gets a facelock, gator rolls then covers, ONE! Teoman scrambles to a corner and fans applaud while cheering AK on. Teoman and AK circle again, tie up collar ‘n’ elbow, and Teoman puts AK in a corner.

Teoman lets off at 4, AK CHOPS back! Teoman JABS AK in the ear! Teoman stands AK up but AK KICKS away on a leg! Teoman hobbles around but AK KICKS his feet out from under him!

Teoman wrenches back and BODY SHOTS, to a HALF HATCH FALCON ARROW! Cover, TWO! Fans stay fired up for AK as he and Teoman are both down. AK crawls, Teoman drags him up, and has a chicken wing.

Winner: Teoman, by pinfall

Die Familie helps out again, and The Babo has a win over the inaugural Heritage Cup Champion! Teoman says, “The Eye saw everything!” Will Teoman also be seeing a title opportunity of his own in the near future?

My Thoughts:

A great episode for NXT UK, with a lot of great hype for the coming weeks. Great highlight reel for Dragunov VS Strong, as well as a post-match promo from them and Devlin. As much as I wanted Devlin to try for the Heritage Cup next, he is definitely the next choice for an NXT UK Championship match. Though that’s mostly because they haven’t built anyone else up to do it. We also got a really good NXT UK Tag Team Championship vignette, and Seven is doing a perfect job playing like he’s not selfishly clinging to the belts. Being two outta three, the titles could go either way and Moustache Mountain will play it perfectly no matter what.

Gradwell and Kenny have a great vignette to hype up their match. A Back Alley Brawl is just an awesome move for this story, that match is going to be wild, and the outcome can definitely go either way believably since there are basically no rules. Boar and Andrews have a good promo together, it sounds like Andrews is just going to be Boar’s corner man to keep T-Bone and Primate back. Guess Flash Morgan Webster still isn’t back yet, but maybe the feud continues until he is for a big Six Man.

Great stuff in the opener out of Gallus as the Coffey Brothers do very well until it comes time to finish the match. Mastiff & Starz get a great win out of this, and if nothing else, Joe’s ego is going to lead to Coffey VS Coffey. They could break up, could make themselves stronger, but it’ll be good stuff either way. Good interview promo from Millie and a good add-on from Stevie Turner. They’ll of course have a match and I bet Millie wins that to keep her win streak going. Meiko and Isla have a good segment together, and I like Isla basically referencing Malakai/Aleister Black with the mist. I can’t wait to see what stipulations Isla suggests for this rematch.

Really good promo from Amale to keep us aware that the old Heel rage is still part of her Face character. And a pretty good match for Eliza’s first in NXT UK. Still predicting Amale VS Eliza happens first, and if Amale wins, she gets her rematch with Xia. If nothing else, Xia and Eliza should really be considered for NXT UK’s first women’s tag team to go after the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships. And of course, a very good main event out of A-Kid VS Teoman. Die Familie of course had a part to play, and that gives Teoman the win. A-Kid is basically moving on to NXT USA anyway, so him putting Teoman over makes sense. But while Dar is a Heel, Teoman isn’t challenging for the cup. Though, I could see them turning Dar since he’s hilarious and fans love him anyway.

My Score: 8.4/10

Andrew’s TNA iMAPCT! & Unbreakable Results & Match Ratings: 4.17.2025

iMPACT is the Pre-Show, Unbreakable is a TNA+ Special! See what happened!

Published

Andrew Balaz

iMPACT! is getting the old Heat treatment as a TV episode pre-show. While nothing about the iMPACT episode seems overly intriguing, they all actually have narrative weight, and since the last two weeks have been devoid of weight and general cohesion…this might be a surprisingly good episode which would serve as a better pre-show than expected.

I’m still mad that it’s a damn Thursday and they want to have 4-5 hours of show because WrestleMania reasons. Even WWE realized doing long shows before workdays was stupid, so NJPW giving them the idea to break Mania into two nights is a boon for everyone over thirty.

Also the main reason I’m doing a joint article. Since Unbreakable starts immediately after iMPACT, I’m not gonna put up back to back articles. One stop shoppin it!

Will @AJFrancis410 be crowned the FIR$T TNA International Champion TONIGHT at #TNAUnbreakable?!

Results:

Laredo vs Jason Hotch w/Tasha Steelz

Laredo starts quick with a Straight Right, Tijeras, a few quick strikes, kicks Hotch out of the ring, wants a Plancha, but Tasha gets in the way to stop Laredo’s offense which gives Hotch an opening. Quick trip, a few chops and a hard Irish Whip has Laredo trying to catch his breath. Hotch tries to go for another Strong Irish Whip but Laredo reverses, two kicks, Flying Neckbreaker into a Missile Dropkick sending Hotch to the outside. Laredo finally pulls off his Suicida, and he’s rolling. Corner Forearm, Uno Mass Corkscrew Moonsaults, but Hotch manages to get away after two. A Snap Jab staggers Laredo, Ali style Outside In Rolling Neckbreaker and Hotch tries to take things to the top. But Laredo counters and Avalanche Michinoku Driver…only for two.

Laredo tries to keep things going, Back Handspring Crossbody, but Hotch catches him, big Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker for two. Hotch looks to the corner and then gets scared because he thinks Santana might strike, Hotch and Tasha argue, Laredo recovers and runs up the corner and hits the Laredo Fly for the win.

If @CodyDeaner can take down @KCwrestles tonight on #TNAiMPACT he punches his ticket Ultimate X at #TNARebellion! @milanmiracle

Jazmyn Nyx w/Fatal Influence vs Xia Brookside w/Lei Ying Lee

Jazmyn and Xia go for a chain wrestling or World of Sport kind of start. Xia even gets out of the Head Scissors with the classic Hand Stand and pop. After a little taunting, Jazmyn tries to charge but Xia loops around for a flash Cradle, Nyx kicks out quick and retreats to her Fatal Influence friends for a breather. Xia catches her with a Dropkick, a few strikes and starts putting things together until Jazmyn catches her in the corner and Snake Eyes Xia the hard way and then starts leaning her into the ropes, a few Leg Sweeps, PK kicks and Jazmyn is in control. Fisherman’s Suplex Hold from Jazmyn but Xia kicks at two. She tries to fight back up but Jazmyn is using her positioning to keep control. Bulldog into the middle buckle, puts Xia between the ropes and lays in a Round Kick to her chest and Xia has been eating offense for the last few minutes. The crowd tries to rally the little British Angel, but Jazmyn lays in some forearms, hits the ropes, Xia ducks and they hit stereo High Kicks to double down for a few moments.

Xia starts to rally, gets a few shots in, Tijeras, Xia tries Angel Wings but Jazmyn moves. Jazmyn tries to stay on her, but a Jawbreaker gives Xia time to go to the corner, Xia hits the Crossbody, Angel Wings, and looks for a DDT or something but Fatal Influence get involved distracting everyone. Lei has Fallon hanled, but Jacy is mouthing off causing Rosemary to come down and make a Mist save. Jazmyn tries to be opportunistic, but Xia blocks her move and hits the Small Package for the win.

Overbooked and timing was a bit shoddy in some spots, but not offensive. Not bad, but not good either.

KC Navarro vs Cody Deaner

This is for a spot in the Ultimate X match. Here’s to hoping the Blessed One beats the hell out of the loser who’s about as over as Herpes. Meaning he never goes away, and he’s unlikable. Anyone that says “Funny Underdogs are needed on shows”, isn’t that like 60% of the roster? No one is funny if everyone tries to be funny. KC however, he’s fucking hilarious and amazing.

KC tries to pay off Deaner and get him to forfeit, Deaner of course does the underdog thing of fighting back, dumb looking punches, goofball corner spot that he lengthens to the put of looking dumb and not funny. Oh thank God KC hits the Spiderman in the ropes, ducks Deaner and 305 gets hit for a near fall. Now KC is rolling, nice quick offense, Snapmare, Front Roll Neck Snap, Stomp into Split into cover for only two. Deaner goes for the comeback, and a few Lariats, Bulldog, and everything looks soo stupid. Deaner puts KC in the Airplane spin, gets dizzy and then goes again, TKO for two.

Navarro tries to powder, Deaner goes after him but the ref gets Deaner off of him since KC was in the ropes, KC wraps his necklace around his knuckles and a quick Jab to the face as Deaner tries to suplex him, 1-2-3, Blessed WIN.

If Deaner was the only doofus guy he’d be fine, but when we have Santino, Arianna, Laredo, KC, Great Hands, Brian Myers, Dango, Alisha, Hendry (while not a doofus isn’t close to serious), Kaz, Elegance Brand (all 3 of them), Ryan Nemeth and those are just off the top of my head. Everyone can’t be silly or no one is silly and nothing matters.

Maggie Lee & Heather by Elegance w/Personal Concierge vs Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley

I’m gonna keep any Gigi drooling to a minimum since I respect my boy Wentz, but I will say, you gotta love Hot Topic Hotties. Yes I like walking red flags, I’m self aware, and okay with it.

Maggie and Gigi start, a few quick counters, Gigi manages the Double Hook Cradle for two, then Hot Topic Hotties go tandem with a Dropkick and a Twisting Elbow for another two. Tatum is officially legal, Maggie looks for the tag but Heather wants to push Maggie more. Which is exactly how ASH treated her. Tatum turns it around, Gigi tags in, Poetry Bronco, and then Kawada Kicks from Gigi. Concierge distracts, Maggie grabs her, Heather takes the cheap shot, Suplex from Maggie for two. Heather and Maggie get some offense in together, and Heather is working Gigi over in the heel corner. Unicorn Stampede essentially. Heather goes for a pinfall and its only 2. Heather is getting frustrated, Gigi with an Upkick headscissors, Heather tries to stop the tag out, but eats the Mule Kick.

Tatum starts beating on Heather, rams Heather into Maggie, Cartwheel Peach Sunrise, tags in Gigi, Double Headbutts and Cemetery Drive from the Hot Topic Hotties and everyone wins. Jesus…will never leave this chat, he started it.

Jakara Jackson w/Lash Legend vs Dani Luna w/Jody Threat

Things start a little slow, Collar & Elbow tie up that they won’t relent for a while, Jakara tries to turn it into a Headlock Takeover, but Dani is too strong. Dani gets a few shots in, hops the rope for something but Lash makes her present felt and trips Dani while Jakara distracts the referee. The referee didn’t see anything but ejects Lash anyway. Lash won’t go, tries to intimidate the ref and say no. Jakara keeps things moving against Dani while Lash takes her sweet time slowly walking away. Jakara tries a Roll-Up but Dani too thicc to keep down. Dani fights back up, scoops Jakara and drops her unceremoniously.

Jakara starts laying in a bunch of Falling Knees and gets a quick two, before locking in a Cravat that Dani tries to fight out of. Dani counters out of it, ducks the Line, and they crash into each other with Forearms. The Double Fall Down spot is a little played out and this is only the pre-show really.

Dani levels Jakara with a few Lariats, looks for the Luna Landing, Jakara slips it so Dani comes off the ropes with a Busaiku Knee. Luna wants a Blue Thunder but Jakara gets away until Luna grabs her again for the Rebound Blue Thunder Bomb and a near fall. Luna charges the corner, misses, Jakara hits the Tornado DDT, but only two. Jakara tries to ram Dani’s head into the buckles, but Luna blocks, fires and takes Jakara’s head off, Luna Landing gets his and Dani wins!

Elijah has a promo segment and they have a really Sesame Street style “Walk this Way” words on the screen thing. When they did the bouncing ball lyrics with Ron Killings, it was at least cool. This comes off as corny and low budget public broadcasting crap just for Elijah to announce an open challenge at Rebellion or something. Admittedly I zoned out cause I figured it would be nothing of note.

Leon Slater vs Brian Myers

Myers and Slater start in a shoving match jawing at each other, and then Leon lays in a Shoulder Tackle off the ropes, some jumping crap and Myers is getting bounced from corner to corner like a dork. Leon tries to continue the Around the World but a punch, Thrust Kick and Irish Whip across the ring gives him some confidence, but he eats the Feint Mule Kick, Back Handspring Back Elbow…and again System matches are “look stupid and get beat up for 70% of the match until a shortcut can be taken”. Speaking of short cuts, Leon goes for his Corner Leap, Myers guards from it, Leon repositions but gets tripped and eats a Spear. Then…we go to commercial.

Coming out of the commercials Myers is still in control. Leon slips out of a suplex and then connects with a flurry of offense, Myers eats more kicks than I can count, powders, Leon does his corner post leap, comes in and looks to win but an Implant DDT, dick kick and Roster Cut gives Myers the win.

Overall iMPACT! Rating: 5/10

Nothing special but at least it made some sense and was a better than the last few episodes. Low bar comparatively. Now immediately onto Unbreakable! So because this is a long night, I figured I’d do a Watch A Long with Mat Sarpraicone over on Dirt Sheet Radio because I have zero faith in Unbreakable being worth the 2-3 hours it will take to watch it.

So you’ll get quick results with ratings and an overall thoughts at the end of Unbreakable from me, because it’s late and I needed something to keep me awake.

Overall Unbreakable Rating: 4.5/10

The iMPACT! episode was easier to watch and digest, three Triple Threats is too many and the Main Event being a slow paced triple threat after a Barb Wire match and a bunch of faster matches really doesn’t resonate well with fans. Even though I didn’t love the Sami vs Mance match, ending on carnage and the “babyface” winning would’ve been a much better way to send the crowd home happy and we wouldn’t have needed so much time fill during the last hour of the show.

Maclin being the inaugural International Champion is cool, setting up the first defense against Eric Young is good for their story, so most of the marks were hit. It just was too damn slow and had no business being a main event. Champions vs Challengers was okay, but it only really picked up when Masha and Tessa were mixing it up. I liked Moose having the extended squash match for shits and giggles, but two Triples back to back to open the show is an easy way to burn out a crowd. Sure the Moose match was an extended piss break to recharge the crowd, but the card was just laid out awkwardly and things felt like far more of a chore than they should have.

All in all this was a very lame event. Yes I get it was purely stop gap to take advantage of WrestleMania weekend, but with Rebellion next week, we all knew it wasn’t gonna shake things up too much. But hot damn was I about to fall asleep if I wasn’t doing the watch-a-long to not pass out.
