PLAY BY PLAY

Oliver Carter VS Teoman w/ Die Familie!

The Hottest Tag Team Under the Sun is on hold with Ashton Smith injured, but that doesn’t mean the Predator Killer is going to be someone’s pawn. Will Carter crush the Babo in front of his brothers in arms? Or will Rohan Raja & Charlie Dempsey be a factor as always for Die Familie?

The bell rings and the two tie up. They go around, Carter gets around to a waistlock but Teoman drops to switch around. Carter wrenches out to a hammerlock but Teoman spins around to put the hammerlock on Carter. Teoman spins Carter around to a headlock, but Carter rolls to make it a cover. TWO, but Teoman holds on. Carter fights up, wrenches out to waistlock, but Teoman throws a hard elbow! Teoman wrenches Carter, Carter rolls and kips to KICK Teoman! Carter arm-drags Teoman down to an armlock. Teoman fights up, hand in Carter’s face, but Carter wrenches to a wristlock.

Teoman pulls hair but Carter breaks free to sunset flip! Teoman drops but Carter avoids the fist drop! Carter mocks Teoman’s Evil Eye by pointing to his own, then he arm-drags Teoman down again. Carter keeps on the arm, fans rally for “Always Forward!” but Teoman powers Carter to ropes. The ref counts, Teoman lets off, but Carter avoids the cheap shot to fire off body shots! Carter CLUBS Teoman, but Teoman kicks Carter in the shin! Teoman whips, Carter flips up to RANA! Carter throws a back elbow then a PELE! Fans fire up but Dempsey gets on the apron. Carter swipes at Dempsey, but Teoman CLOBBERS Carter from behind!

Teoman stomps Carter around while the fans boo. Carter blocks a punch to fire body shots and forearms, only for Teoman to dropkick a leg out! Teoman rains down fists on Carter then seethes as the fans boo. Teoman grins as he drags Carter back up, turns him, and hits a HANGMAN’S NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Teoman clamps onto Carter with a chinlock. Fans rally, Carter pries at the hold, and Carter fires off body shots. But Teoman throws a hard body shot!

Springboard and BIG missile dropkick! Carter then goes corner to corner to WHEEL KICK in the corner! Cover, Carter wins!

Winner: Oliver Carter, by pinfall

In an almost 3v1 handicap, Carter comes out on top! Will Carter be ready and forward, always forward? But then Dempsey attacks! Die Familie are sore losers as they stomp away on Carter! Teoman rains down fists while fans boo, and then he tells Dempsey and Raja to drag Carter up. They do as told, so that Teoman can hit him with NEZAR!! The Evil Eye still hits its target, and Teoman pats Carter on the head. If Die Familie can’t make Carter join the, will they make sure Carter can’t stand against them?

NXT UK Media catches up with Sam Gradwell.

They ask him about last week’s confrontation with Trent Seven and his “choice words” for him. Yeah, Trent Seven is the “dirt worst,” isn’t he? Gradwell won’t just stand and- SEVEN ATTACKS! He CLOBBERS Gradwell and then runs off as security and trainers tell him to leave. Gradwell is fuming, will the Thunderstorm make sure Seven gets what he deserves?

NXT UK Media also catches up with Fallon Henley.

How is she enjoying her time here in the UK? So far, it’s been pretty amazing. The food is outstanding, but she is struggling with the time zone change. But then Isla Dawn comes creeping up, grinning and giggling. Um, can Fallon help her with something? She was in the middle of an interview. Isla reaches out to touch Fallon but Fallon backs up. Fallon says Isla’s creepiness shtick isn’t going to work so just go somewhere that’s not here. Isla laughs as she leaves, but has the Wicked Witch found a new little pretty to play with?

NXT UK shares a digital exclusive.

After the show last week, Dave Mastiff found Josh Morrell and congratulated him on his first win in NXT UK, and how it was over Primate. Morrell appreciates that, and Mastiff says Morrell must be feeling great, and thinking he can ride this wave. Unfortunately, he’s going to crash at some point, and that will be next week against Mastiff. Well, alright, Morrell will give everything he has in that ring. Good to hear. The Bomber heads out, is he going to end Morrell’s win streak at one?

NXT UK Media catches up with Wolfgang.

He’s playing around with the football (soccer ball for Americans), and the reporter asks if he heard the comments made by Ilja Dragunov. Yes, Dragunov respects Wolfgang. That’s nice and appreciated. The NXT UK Champion respects Wolfgang. And the feeling is mutual, because how can you not respect The Czar? Look at the list of contenders he’s had. But Dragunov should be careful what he wishes for. It takes a certain kind of someone, a certain mentality to be able to walk into the lion’s den, to get into the ring with a dangerous animal like Wolfgang! Wolfgang will remind everyone just how bad he can be! Someone needs to take that title, so why not Wolfie?

Amale VS Stevie Turner!

The French Hope hoped Blair Davenport’s comments weren’t about her, and Blair made sure Amale understood they were about everyone. But the Fourth Dimensional Superstar just had to get her jabs in, too. Will Amale make Stevie, and Blair, understand not to get on her bad side?

Speaking of Blair, she’s on commentary to watch this one closely. The bell rings and Amale circles with Stevie. Blair knows Amale is strong and smart, but she’s also got a short temper, like a spoiled brat, and that will be her downfall. Stevie waistlocks but Amale resists the lift to switch around. Amale takes Stevie to ropes but Stevie bucks her to run in. Amale deflects the boot to roll Stevie up, TWO! Alame facelocks but Stevie endures. Stevie fights up, wrenches out, and reels Amale into a headlock. Amale endures the grind, throws body shots, but Stevie thrashes the hold. Amale powers out, Stevie runs Amale over and flexes.

Stevie runs, things speed up and Stevie ducks, only for Amale to follow! RUNNING NECKBREAKER! Amale keeps moving and she basement dropkicks! Stevie goes to ropes, fans rally up, and Stevie kicks Amale away. Amale keeps after Stevie but Stevie BOOTS her down! Stevie stomps Amale, CLUBS her, but Amale throws body shots. Stevie CLUBS Amale again, puts her on ropes and CHOKES her! The ref counts, Stevie lets off at 4, then she runs to BOOT WASH! Amale flops down and Stevie is fired up! “Four D, baby! Four D!” Fans rally for Amale but Stevie KNEES her down! Cover, TWO! Stevie is annoyed but she drags Amale up.

Amale throws body shots, Stevie CLUBS her again, then turns her for a neckbreaker stretch! Stevie pulls on Amale’s head with that cravat and Amale endures, until Stevie drops for the NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Stevie fumes but fans rally. Stevie drags Amale up, reels her in, but Amale throws elbows. Stevie throws knees, then Stevie whips Amale. Amale reverses and puts Stevie in a corner, but Stevie BOOTS back. Amale runs in again to CLOBBER Stevie! Fans fire up with Amale and she CLOBBERS Stevie again! Amale drags Stevie up, whips her to a corner and hits a clothesline, to a BULLDOG! Cover, TWO!

Amale is frustrated but the fans still rally up. Stevie goes to a corner, Amale runs in but she blocks a boot to KNEE Stevie down! Amale runs side to side to BOOT WASH in return! Amale drags Stevie up and hooks her up, HOPE BREAKER! Cover, Amale wins!

Winner: Amale, by pinfall

Blair Davenport isn’t impressed, but perhaps NXT UK management is. Will Amale find her way back to an NXT UK Women’s Championship match? Or will Blair make Amale beware what’s coming next?

NXT UK shares what happened after last week’s main event.

Meiko Satomura and Sarray returned backstage, victorious, and Emilia McKenzie was there to greet them. Meiko thanks her protégé, and then thanks the Warrior of the Sun. Sarray thanks Meiko, and says that being able to team up with a legend like her makes Sarray very happy. However, she wants to be Meiko’s next challenger. Will she accept? Meiko leads the way towards the General Managers office, that could be a yes. But Nina Samuels pops in to say her ears are burning. Can Emilia explain what those two were talking about? Nothing to do with Nina. Emilia heads off and Nina frowns. Will Nina have to wait before she can get another “exclusive” scoop?

NXT UK Media catches up with Mark Andrews & Wild Boar.

How do these two feel about the NXT UK Tag Team Championships being held by an American team in Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen? Well, Andrews says he and Boar got up close and personal with those two, and credit where it is due, Briggs & Jensen are a great team. They will do a great job representing this brand on the other side of the Atlantic. But it’s also time those two bring those titles back to the UK, where Andrews & Boar will be the first team waiting for them. Boar tells Briggs & Jensen that Andrews & Boar are going to bring those titles home. Will this new South Wales Connection conquer the NXT UK Tag Division?

Sid Scala speaks.

The Assistant General Manager knows “it has been made clear” that Ilja Dragunov and Wolfgang have respect for one another, but also a desire to compete against each other. So to make it official, in two weeks, it will be Dragunov VS Wolfgang for the NXT UK Championship! Will the Czar be able to fend off the Last King of Scotland? Or will Wolfgang be howling to the moon after the biggest win in his NXT UK career?

NXT UK Heritage Cup Championship: Noam Dar VS Mark Coffey!

The Scottish Supernova has always found a way to hold onto this cup, and that way is usually Sha Samuels. But knowing that, NXT UK is banning the East End Butcher from ringside! Will Dar be able to keep this cup without his insurance policy? Or will Dar and Sha lose a lot on this one against this Gallus Boy?

The introductions are made, the cup is raised, and you can bet this is going to be one for the books!

Round one begins and we see Sha watching and stressing in the back. Dar makes one of the ring crew wear Sha’s hat to be a good substitute. Dar and Mark then circle, tie up, and Mark backs Dar towards ropes. Dar digs in his heels so Mark breaks the grapple. They circle and go again, and Dar goes after Mark’s arm. Dar works to wrench to a wristlock but Mark spins through and wristlocks back. Dar gets the ropes and the ref counts the break. Mark lets off at 4 but then Dar shoves him. Mark won’t fall for that and the two reset with under two minutes. They tie up again, Dar pulls hair to put Mark on the ropes, and the ref counts again.

Mark avoids Dar’s cheap shot kick and smirks. They reset again, tie up, and Mark gets around two a waistlock. Mark SLAMS Dar down at a minute left, but Dar fights up. Fans duel as Dar headlocks but Mark wrenches and wristlocks again. Dar KICKS a leg, then runs in, but into an elbow! Mark goes up the corner but he jumps over Dar’s leg sweep! And he avoids the Penalty Kick! Dar headlocks but Mark slips out to go after the arm. Dar slips free, both men bob ‘n’ weave and Dar headlocks at 30 seconds. Mark powers out and RAMS Dar! Dar stays up so Mark headlocks back. Dar powers out but Mark runs him over!

Mark hurries to arm-drag Dar down, has the arm, ten seconds left! Fans count it down as Mark clinches Dar, time’s up!

Dar: 0; Mark: 0

Dar slaps Mark, Mark SLAPS Dar! The ref reprimands them both for after-the-bell action, this is a warning on them both. Dar and Mark back away to their corners for the refresher and Dar is still not happy with not having Sha. But the second round begins and Dar rushes in! But Mark ducks the Nova Rolla! Mark clamps onto Dar, chinbar, GATOR LOCK!! Dar taps to the half nelson chinbar!!

Dar: 0; Mark: 1

Sha is freaking out because that was barely 20 seconds in the second! Mark says that’s what Dar gets, but Sha does his best to calm down. Dar is only down one, he has plenty of time left. Dar and Mark refresh in their corners, and we get right to round three! Mark eggs Dar on and Dar circles with him. Dar shoots in, Mark avoids that to roll Dar up, TWO! Dar gets to ropes, Mark runs in, but Mark senses the table top coming! Mark rolls Dar with a waistlock to bring him up, but Dar arm-drags free. Mark runs Dar over, then hauls him up for a standing back drop! Fans fire up with Mark as he aims at Dar.

Dar gest to a corner, Mark runs in to back body block! Mark goes up to FLYING BULLDOG! Cover, TWO!! Dar survives but fans fire up as we reach two minutes. Mark runs but Dar bails out to avoid the forearm. Mark grabs at Dar but Dar ROCKS Mark at the ropes! Dar kicks the leg, then BACK ELBOWS! The ref reprimands but Dar gets in, boot feint to ELBOW! Cover, TWO! Mark is still in this and Dar is frustrated. Dar gets a leg to STOMP it, then an arm to STOMP it! Dar drags Mark around to STOMP the other arm. Mark hobbles up at the minute mark and Dar KICKS. Mark ROCKS Dar with a forearm but Dar KICKS more!

Dar KICKS Mark down, hurries to cover, TWO! Mark grits his teeth while Dar steadies himself. Dar clamps onto Mark with a chinbar and fishhook but the ref reprimands. Dar lets off to elbow Mark at 30 seconds. Dar hooks Mark again, lets off as the ref reprimands, and he goes to suplex. Mark blocks, we’re at 10 seconds, and fans count again. Dar sweeps the leg, takes aim, but time is up! The ref has to stop Dar from the Nova Rolla! Sha is freaking out again!

Dar: 0; Mark: 1

Dar has no choice but to back down to his corner, and Mark also gets some water to refresh. The fourth round begins, Dar rushes in, but he feints the Nova Rolla! Dar goes for a leg, but Mark braces himself and has a cover! TWO!! But Mark wheelbarrows and waistlocks Dar. Dar pries free, drops, kicks out a leg then reels Mark in for more kicks! CHAMPAGNE SUPER KNEEBAR!! Mark blocks, Dar CLUBS Mark, and he has it in!! Mark endures, but it’s still early in the round, so Mark TAPS! Dar ties it up!

Dar: 1; Mark: 1

From how Sha sounds, you’d think Dar won! And speaking of, Dar keeps on stomping and kicking Mark while holding on! The ref reprimands and threatens disqualification so Dar lets go. We start from square one in round five, this could still go either way! Dar aims from the corner while Mark hobbles away. The fifth round begins, and Dar rushes in to DROPKICK Mark in the corner! Cover, TWO!! Mark survives and Dar is furious! Dar looms over Mark as fans rally, and Dar kicks away at Mark’s leg. Mark kicks free with the good leg, and then he catches Dar’s leap to BOOT him! And back suplex! Cover, TWO!

Fans rally and Mark nods. Dar gets away to a corner but Mark pursues. Mark drags Dar up, runs, but Dar drops to deny Mark his attack. Dar gets back to a corner, and he SLAPS Mark! Mark is pissed but he misses in the corner. Dar runs side to side to BOOT! Mark wobbles, Dar runs again, but he has to duck Mark’s clothesline! Mark picks Dar up but Dark CLUBS away! Mark stays up, but Dar kicks off ropes to have the GUILLOTINE! Mark endures as there’s 90 seconds! Mark powers up and out to SLAM Dar with a suplex! Both men are down and fans fire up! Mark and Dar stir and a standing count starts.

Fans rally as the standing count is 5 of 10 but we’re under a minute in the round. Dar and Mark both get up, and Mark ROCKS Dar! Dar wobbles, but he comes back to ROCK Mark! Mark ROCKS Dar, Dar ROCKS Mark, and then Dar throws knees! Mark drops, but he gets up to fire off clubbing haymakers! Fans fire up, Mark whips, Dar reverses but Mark blocks the kick.

Saved by the bell!

Dar: 1; Mark: 1

Sha is somehow still breathing as he stresses out, but it comes down to this sixth round. Will we need overtime to settle this one?

Mark survives again, and Dar hurries to run, but into a HUGE forearm! Mark runs to LARIAT!! And then, HALF NELSON SLAM!! Mark keeps moving, SLIDING FOREARM!!! Cover, MARK WINS!!!

Winner: Mark Coffey, by pinfall (NEW NXT UK Heritage Cup Champion)

Sha is losing his mind, because he’s losing a fortune! With just 20 seconds left in regulation, this Gallus Boy IS on top! All those he just won this for celebrate with him! And also come calling on Sha to get that paper. Wait! Joe Coffey is back! He is here to celebrate with his brother! They hug it out and fans cheer! Joe is proud of his brother, because that means this is still their kingdom! Will the fortunes of Gallus be brighter than ever from here on out?

My Thoughts:

A great episode of NXT UK, but especially the main event. Carter VS Teoman was a very good opener, and Carter getting a win was a bit of a surprise with Die Familie all around, but Die Familie also stands tall by beating him down. I thought someone was going to back Carter up, but maybe that’ll happen next time. Good promo segments to set up coming matches. Seven had a great blindside attack on Gradwell, and Isla did good creeping up on Fallon. Those matches will be a lot of fun, but I was surprised by the promo from Mastiff and Morrell. I won’t say Mastiff was being a Heel, but he definitely has that edge of being the veteran to Morrell being new.

Good promo from Wolfgang to call out Dragunov, and of course the UK Championship match was made. That is going to be awesome, but I don’t see Dragunov losing. Amale VS Stevie was a good match but they did not know how to have it and Blair on commentary at the same time. It took them a couple times to realize they could do picture-in-picture of it. Amale of course wins to build momentum, she and Blair are going to have a good match. And we got a decent segment out of Sarray, Meiko, Emilia and Nina. I knew they were going to steer this to the NXT UK Women’s Championship, Meiko VS Sarray will be an awesome match for sure, and with Briggs & Jensen having won the tag titles, there’s a good chance Sarray wins this title so that the women of NXT UK are aiming for a new target.

Speaking of the NXT UK Tag titles, Boar & Andrews have a good promo to call out Briggs & Jensen. I really expected Briggs & Jensen to have a title defense on NXT UK first but they’ll get that done on NXT 2.0. Briggs & Jensen will probably beat Pretty Deadly, and they will certainly beat Andrews & Boar. And then that Heritage Cup Championship was awesome stuff. Now, they always push these to the late rounds, but somehow, they also find a way to pace these out so it is still exciting. Mark getting a submission win in the second was great, and then for it to come down to the wire was great.

Mark winning was the right move, as was Joe Coffey not turning on him. We just got Seven betraying Tyler Bate, and a piss poor execution of Cora Jade turning on Roxanne Perez, so the Coffey Brothers sticking together is the right call.

My Score: 8.6/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 4.10.2025

This week surely can’t be worse than last week…right? Right? Oh no…

Andrew Balaz

Last week was so bad, the best takeaway is that this HAS to be better. Sure…it could be even worse, but even under new management TNA has a very consistent history of inconsistency. They can have 2 months of abysmal garbage and then suddenly surprise you with the most entertaining show you’ve seen in weeks. That was true during the Russo years, Cornette, Dutch, Billy Corgan, Don Callis, D’amour and even last year with the early shades of Dreamer’s collective.

Now we get to see if my faith in this brand continues to plummet like stock prices when Sheriff Tariff was running the economy, or if they put a pause on my disdain.

To the television machine!

TNA World Championship: Moose (c) w/Dango & Myers vs Deaner: Moose retains via Lights Out – zero
The Rascalz vs The System: System wins via Cheat Assisted Pinfall – **
Sami Callihan vs Mance Warner w/Steph De Lander vs AJ Francis w/KC Navarro: AJ wins via TFL – ** 3/4
Ryan “Mokuba” Nemeth vs Leon “Charisma Vacuum” Slater: Slater wins via Swanton 450 – **
Eddie Edwards w/Alisha vs Steve Maclin: Eddie wins via Boston Knee Party – ***

Results:

Ethan Page opens the show similarly to how he ended last week. I still don’t care. Kaz comes down sounding like a corny doofus, it really sounds like he’s doing a Parody of Jericho without any engaging lines. These first 10 minutes are such a bore and then Santino comes out to tell us that even though he’s injured JOE HENDRY WILL TALK LATER. I hate this redundant gimmick. Leave it to Dreamer and Delirious to really make me start hating Joe Hendry.

Going to commercial I think I heard the commentary call Ali the head of Order 4? Why aren’t they just The Cabinet? Order 4 is the laziest most inane name I ever heard. It’s like a Chinese Supermarket knockoff Faction name. New World Order? Nah. 4 Horsemen? Nope…but we got Order 4. And coming out of commercial they confirm the worst faction name I’ve ever heard.

Mustafa Ali w/Cabinet vs Ace Austin

Ali starts off quick, quick strikes, Rolling Neckbreaker, classic signature Ali offense…and then my power spikes out for like 40 seconds because it’s windy…and by the time I get everything up again, the Dork Hands are in the ring abusing Ace. Ali is handed a chair, before he can use it, Santana appears out of the crowd and punches away the chair and goes after Ali.

Well I’m glad the power went out because this could’ve been a decent match and then turned into a nothing finish because…idiots are booking this show.

TNA World Championship: Moose (c) w/Dango & Myers vs Deaner

From one worthless match to next. You can tell imbeciles are booking this show. Dango cuts Deaner’s stupidity off saying that he could join in a minion/young boy role because his kids need their dad to have job security. Dango has charisma so I like when he talks, but this is a useless match and useless interaction. Cody says the other option is getting an X Division shot. Moose laughs, says if you last 2 minutes you can get a title shot.

Deaner tries to start quick, but a right hand and Jacknife Powerbomb has Deaner dying, another Jacknife Powerbomb for fun, goes for the pinfall just to pull him up and beat on him more. The crowd doesn’t care, Moose goes for the Lights Out, Deaner powders, and is just killing time. Deaner lasts the 2 minutes because he runs away, this smells like Delirious idiocy.

Moose tries a Lights Out, Deaner Sunsets over it, gets a two count and then Moose catches him with a follow up Lights Out and retains. A waste of like 4 minutes.

System goes for the beatdown but The Rascalz make the save to kick off the tag match immediately after the commercial.

The Rascalz vs The System

Wentz and Trey start quick, double up on Dango immediately, the MCMG homage into the Bronco Buster in the corner from Wentz. Dango gets over to Myers while Wentz is pandering, Myers comes in to eat the ABC homage combo attacks. Just a very chaotic start, Dango cuts off another double team, so Myers manages to isolate Trey, Stomp a Mudhole in the corner, Russian Leg Sweep, and finally The System has space to breathe. Quick tag to Dango, Chops, Rake to the Eyes, Overhand Rights, Shortarm Lariats, and Trey is just eating everything. Dango with the Vertical Suplex, float over and near fall. Finally Trey makes some space with a Pele Kick. Simultaneous tag, Wentz lights up Myers, Back Handspring Knee Lift from Wentz and two count helps the Rascalz start to roll. Rascalz want a tandem Suplex, but Dango saves Myers, System gets tossed out, Stereo Dives and Rascalz are still in control.

Small spam moment of cut offs and signatures. Dango pushes Wentz off the top rope, Trey kicks Dango off the apron, Trey tries the Outside In Vertical Suplex, but Myers shifts his weight and falls on top of Trey while Dango holds the feet down and The System wins.

Sami Callihan vs Mance Warner w/Steph De Lander vs AJ Francis w/KC Navarro

Callihan produces a hook and wants to take out Mancer’s eye they struggle in the middle, AJ relaxes in one corner until he takes advantage of the situation and wipes out both guys with a Double Lariat, Double Shot of Tennessee Whiskey, KC and AJ taunt a little, SDL confronts them, AJ mouths off a little and walks back into the ring…while KC just points at her assertively and says “You’re a big girl” and scurries away. I really am a fan of KC.

Sami and Mance work together to take out AJ, but then they immediately go back to trying to murder each other. Sami finds a Sacrifice Poster, Paper Cut between the fingers, wants to do another across the eyes but AJ interrupts only to get his own Papercut between his Chokeslam fingers. Mance levels Sami, goes to find some chairs and starts setting up the play place. Chair between buckles, Whip, Brakes, Reverse, Brakes, Sami rips the chair out, Mance grabs the other one he found and Samurai Chair Duel. AJ gets involved before anything really interesting happens, AJ hits the Down Payment on Mance, Sami chairshot to break the pinfall. Sami focuses on Mance, but Mance does turn it around, sets up a chair spot but Sami turns that around, Death Valley Driver through the chairs. Sami gras the hook again, drives it into Mance’s face, celebrates a little and AJ hits the TFL out of nowhere to win the match.

Honestly…not terrible.

Ryan “Mokuba” Nemeth vs Leon “Charisma Vacuum” Slater

Bell rings, Slater comes out with a Flying Kick and Ryan eats it, Rewind Mule Kick next keeps Leon in control, then he wears out Ryan from corner to corner. Leon tries a Suplex but Ryan finds the ropes, Back Elbow gives space. Around the Rosey powder, Leon chases like a stupid babyface, Ryan cuts him off trying to come back in the ring and just leans on him. Claws at Leon’s face, stomps, Headlocks to keep him down, Ryan takes off his shirt, mocks the Extreme Elbow and actually hits it but it’s slow and Slater took it stupid. Nemeth tries a Twist of Fate next and Leon kicks Ryan’s head off. Chops, Running Missile Dropkick in the corner, Twisting Suplex, Lethal Injection, and a two count. Leon tries another suplex, Ryan slips it, Leon tries a Leg Lariat but Ryan powders. They do a little Bugs Bunny of pulls each other out and trying to fun back in, but Leon gets the best of it.

Leon lights up Ryan, throws him back in, back and forth, big Elevated DDT from Ryan for two. Leon counters Ryan’s attempts with a Blue Thunder Bomb, Ryan goes to look for chairs again, but the Hardyz are late to the spot to pull the chair away, so Ryan looks a little silly. Twist of Slate, Swanton 450, and meh.

Eddie is in Kawada colors…but why? He usually is Green through and through, Misawa and the Celtics. So the yellow just looks…weird. And I’ll blame the color of his gear for why Maclin is beating the hell out of Eddie early. Strikes, SCUD, and just generally beating Eddie’s ass before Alisha causes enough of a distraction for Eddie to catch Maclin in a Blue Thunder Bomb. Lish gets involved again and we go to commercial.

Coming back from nap time, Eddie has Maclin grounded with a Sleeper, but Maclin fights up to his feet, but Eddie keeps things close with a Short Arm Clothesline and Maclin keeps trying to fight back up and rally. Maclin goes fight up, Jawjacker, a small double sell before rope runs. Thesz Press into the Ground and Pound and then Olympic Slam from Steve. Lish distracts Maclin again so Eddie sideswipes him with a Gowan Lariat. Maclin tries to cut Eddie off when Eddie goes up top, some jockeying, but an Avalanche Olympic Slam has Eddie reeling, Caught in the Crosshairs! Myers and Dango come out to distract, Northern Armoury follows but EY stops them from getting involved to make a point. Lish gives Eddie the rings for the Loaded Punch into the Boston Knee Party for the win.

EY slides in his Casey Jones mask and then walk off as Steve is left to contemplate.

Overall Score: 3.5/10

So not a good episode and opened with a lot of non-finishes and dumb crap. I also am growing very sick of “We’re gonna hear from Joe Hendry”, at least he’s starting the promo off somber, so its a little less cliche. The crowd was at least eating out of his hand when he made it seem like he was gonna vacate the belt because of the injury. So at least that’s good crowd manipulation and the crowd was willing to play with it instead of just try to get themselves over.

But still, the first match that was interesting was the International Championship Qualifier 3 way, and it still wasn’t wonderful, it was just serviceable. The main event was overbooked but it was pushing the EY and Maclin story forward so I can only be so critical. As to not mince words though, this was a bad episode. Santana going full Crime Drama Murderer, Callihan calling for a Barbed Wire Massacre match…I mean it all feels entirely cringe and edgy just for edgy sake. Sure I didn’t mind the last one which I think was OVE vs LAX. It was actually a solid match during the Twitch/Covid years. But did we learn nothing from the stupid nail bat spot? That doesn’t sell tickets (especially when it announced so shortly before the event). So it’s just senseless hardcore garbage for the sake of being a senseless hardcore garbage match.

Could it be entertaining? Sure. I liked Sami…100 pounds ago, and Mance used to be interesting in MLW. But whatever they’ve done so far this year, has been pissed in dog water. I’d rather get an enema from a blow torch than subject myself to whatever that’s gonna be. But alas…coverage dictates I can’t play with fire apparently.

Bad episode, better than last week and next week is gonna suck. iMPACT for 2 hours followed by 2-3 hours of Unbreakable right after iMPACT on a THURSDAY.

PLAY BY PLAY

Johnny TV & MXM Collection w/ Taya Valkyrie VS Ryan Matthews, Jordan Kross & Drake Daniels!

The obsession with tag team gold has shifted from the ROH World Tag Team Championships to the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championships, as evident by how Mansoor & Mason Madden are bringing the belt they stole from Dustin Rhodes! But will #MXMTV earn their shot at a proper title shot? Or will their obsession cloud their judgment?

The trios sort out and Johnny starts against Jordan. They keep the Code of Honor and the bell rings. The fans rally as the two circle, and then Johnny dodges to roll, do some breakdancing and a “Johnny-rooni,” to then pose. That’s not just taunting Jordan, that’s sending a shot at Sammy Guevara! Johnny even kips up! Jordan and Johnny circle, tie up, but then Jordan mocks Mason with the twerking! The fans cheer, MXM is upset, but Johnny grabs Jordan for a MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Johnny KICKS Jordan in the side, then SHINING WIZARDS! The fans boo but Johnny drags Jordan onto the ropes. Johnny CHOKES Jordan, the ref counts, but Johnny lets off at 4.

Johnny argues with the ref, Mason asks what the five fingers said to the face. Taya SLAPS Jordan! Get it? Johnny dodges Drake, and he hits the FLYING CHUCK! Johnny then RAMS Jordan into the corner, tags Mansoor, and Mansoor fakes the chop to say look up. Then he CHOPS, CHOPS! Tag to Mason, Mansoor BLASTS Ryan, then Mason sends Mansoor in for a LARIAT! Mason adds an ELBOW, then feed to the atomic drop! Mansoor runs, he bumps Drake aside to then dropkick Jordan’s legs out! Mason pulls up for the HIP ATTACK! The fans cheer as MXM pose, but then Mr. & Mrs. TV kiss right in front of the camera.

Ryan tags in, he CLUBS Mason, but Mason doesn’t budge! Ryan apologizes, and claims it was Drake. Mason HEADBUTTS Ryan to the corner! Mason then fires body shots, H O T T O~ G O~! And then the GRIZZLY MAGNUM! The fans fire up as Mason puts Ryan in the corner, then tags Mansoor. Mansoor feeds Ryan to Mason’s scoop, SIDEWALK SLAM LEG DROP COMBO! Fans fire up for the Catwalk Combo, then MXM points to Johnny. Johnny & Taya kiss again, and MXM cheer. Ryan flounders, Mansoor keeps him from his corner and ROCKS him with a forearm. Mansoor scoops, Ryan slips free, tag to Drake!

Drake fires hands on Mansoor, then whips, but Mansoor reverses. Drake ducks ‘n’ dodges but Mason tags in! Mansoor picks Drake up and Mason runs, LEG LARIAT SPINEBUSTER COMBO! The fans rally, Mansoor rolls through to haul Drake up. Johnny tags in and goes up, DOUBLE STOMP DEATH VALLEY DRIVER COMBO! MXM TV is all fired up and the fans cheer. Jordan runs in, but Mason picks him up! Ryan runs in but gets a BOOT! Then Mason CHOKE SLAMS Jordan! Johnny drags Drake to center, and MXM TV stands over him, to POSE! Then they get Drake up, for a TRIPLE CENTER FOLD! Cover, MXM TV wins!

Winners: Johnny TV & MXM Collection, by pinfall

When you look good, you feel good, and MXM TV certainly feels good after that win. They hold up their stolen title, and then they drag the ref into POSING with them! But will The Sons of Texas bring these fashionable thieves to justice soon enough?

The Von Erichs talk with Dustin Rhodes backstage.

Marshall wants The Natural to understand, they saw what MXM did. Dustin & Sammy can handle their business, they’re Texans! The Von Erichs know all about that. But the moment MXM even touched those titles, it frankly pissed Marshall off. The Von Erichs just got here, barely proved themselves, and what kind of tone does that set? Ross has his brother calm down, and says that where they come from, you don’t touch what you didn’t earn. They saw what happened, and now it is time to give ROH a reminder of what respect looks like. Dustin nods, and he tells MXM TV to listen closely.

“You wanted to get our attention? Well, now you’ve got it. You stealing my title was very juvenile, and stupid. And yes, I’m calling you all stupid. At no time in my 37 year career have I ever backed down from a challenge, and I’m not about to start. So that’s why I brought in the heavy hitters. Texas’ favorite sons, The Von Erichs, and The Natural, Dustin Rhodes! So how about you, MXM, and you, Johnny TV, show up next week, if ya got the balls, so we can rearrange your pretty faces and get back what’s mine?” The Sons of Texas have thrown down the gauntlet, will MXM TV accept? Will they regret ever stealing from the living legend?

Backstage interview with Bandido.

AEW shares footage from after Dynasty and the ROH World Championship match. Alicia Atout congratulates Bandido and his familia, as he defeated Chris Jericho to once again be ROH World Champion. What does this moment mean to him? Bandido takes a moment, and says this means everything. When he was just a child starting in this sport, he just dreamt of this moment. Now it is come true! He is grateful to God to be here with his family and this championship. He isn’t the real champion, his mama is! She’s always taking care of him, his brother, his sister, the whole family. The familia celebrates together, will they all have even more to celebrate as Bandido is back on top of ROH?

Dustin Rhodes & The Von Erichs VS Dominic Garrini, Kevin Ku & Davey Bang!

We heard from The Sons of Texas, and now we’ll see them hit the ring together again! Will they be doubling down on that message to MXM TV with a huge return win? Or will they learn that #ViolenceIsForever?

The trios sort out and Dustin starts against Kevin. The fans rally for Dustin, but Kevin kicks the hand away! No Code of Honor here, but the bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Dustin headlocks, but Kevin powers up and out. Dustin runs Kevin over, keeps moving, and hops over the dropdown. Kevin sets up but Dustin says, “Not Today!” UPPERCUT! Dustin then arm-drags Kevin into an armlock. The fans rally, “You Still Got It!” but Kevin fires a body shot. Kevin whips, Davey gets a cheap shot in, but Dustin DECKS him! Kevin takes a swing, Dustin dodges, and Kevin is sent into Dominic! Kevin then staggers into a SNAP POWERSLAM!

The fans fire up as Dustin drags Kevin over, and tag to Ross. They whip, Dustin drops down and Ross DROPKICKS! Kevin staggers, tags Dominic, and Dominic knees Ross! Dominic CHOPS, whips, but Ross reverses. Ross hits a HIP TOSS, then he arm-drags! The fans rally as Ross arm-drags again, then JUMP RANAS! Cover, TWO! Dominic stays in this but Ross stays focused. Ross headlocks, Dominic powers up and RAMS him into the corner! Dominic keeps Ross trapped, Marshall protests, and the ref holds Marshall back. This just lets Team Violence Is Forever mug Ross behind the ref’s back! The fans boo but VIF gets away with it all!

Dominic tags in Davey and Davey stomps Ross. Davey drags Ross up but the fans rally. Davey UPPERCUTS Ross’s arm, sends him to a corner, and ELBOWS him! Davey GRINDS Ross’s face off the ropes, then tags Dominic. Dominic ROCKS Ross, tags Kevin, and Kevin CHOPS Ross. VIF double whips, but Ross crisscrosses them into each other! Ross reaches for his corner but Kevin waistlocks to keep him back. Feed to Dominic, ROUNDHOUSE SAIDO COMBO! Cover, TWO! Ross survives but Dominic drags Ross over. Tag to Kevin, then they stand Ross up. Suplex and- NO, Ross slips free! He shoves Dominic into Kevin!

Ross hurries, hot tag to Marshall! The fans fire up, Davey tags in, but Marshall dodges him and Kevin to BOOT Dominic! DOUBLE LARIATS for Kevin & Davey! Then forearm after forearm, Marshall DECKS man after man! ROLLING ELBOW for Davey! ROLLING ELBOW for Kevin! Marshall fires up and LARIATS Davey in a corner! Then he runs to LARIAT Kevin in a corner! Marshall calls his shot, the fans fire up, and Marshall CANNONBALLS Davey! Cover, Kevin & Dominic break it! But Ross goes up, and he CROSSBODIES VIF down! Dustin storms in, he and Ross LARIAT VIF up and out of the ring!

Davey climbs up, leaps at Marshall, but he gets caught into the IRON CLAW!! Davey is fading, Marshall tops it off with a scoop and SWINGING SLAM!! Cover, Sons of Texas win!

Winners: Dustin Rhodes & The Von Erichs, by pinfall

A big return indeed, and a big win for the REAL ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions! But will they get that stolen belt back from MXM TV? Or will Johnny, Mansoor & Mason keep playing games?

Taya Valkyrie speaks.

“I have been in ROH now for two years. Clawing, fighting, waiting patiently- I mean, well, not so patiently sometimes, for an opportunity at a championship. And now, I finally have it. The opportunity to go after Red Velvet and the Women’s TV Championship. But there’s one person in my way, and that’s La Catalina, La Diva de la CMLL. Now, Catalina, I understand what kind of crazy it takes to leave your country, follow your dream, and find your place within this artform and sport, cuz I did it. I wrote the book, I am the blueprint, you basically copied me. And if you think La Diva is gonna get in the way of La Wera Loca, then you don’t know me.

“So on that night, in mi casa, may the best woman win. And we all know who that is.” Taya has made the challenge, Catalina will return to ROH to accept it, but then who moves on to face The Chef in her kitchen?

ROH World Championship Proving Ground: Bandido VS Jay Lethal!

This is already a historic Proving Ground match as the two-time and NEW ROH World Champion is going to put the longest reigning (combined days) ROH World Champion to the test! Can Bandido beat The Franchise in ten minutes or less? Or will Lethal earn himself his golden ticket back to the title scene?

The fans duel already as the two men step up. The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and we’re on the clock. Bandido and Lethal circle, the fans rally, and the two tie up. Lethal waistlocks, Bandido switches, Lethal switches, repeat. They go around and around, Bandido ends up on the apron and he HOTSHOTS Lethal! Lethal runs back up but Bandido jumps over the slide! Bandido then ASAI MOONSAULTS, but Lethal moves! Bandido lands on his feet, both men go to the apron, and Bandido blocks a kick! Bandido CHOPS, then LARAITS Lethal into the ring, but Lethal lands on his feet! Lethal DROPKICKS Bandido down!

Lethal builds speed, and he DIVES! Direct hit and Bandido tumbles to the ramp! The fans fire up as Lethal shows some Black Machismo, then he CHOPS Bandido. Lethal puts Bandido in, climbs up, and aims for the MACHO- NO, Lethal blocks Bandido’s boots! The fans “WOO~!” with Lethal and he steps through, but Bandido makes it a cradle! TWO, and Lethal CHOPS again! Bandido goes to ropes while Lethal shakes out his hand. Bandido comes back and CHOPS! Bandido eggs Lethal on, and Lethal nods. Lethal CHOPS! Bandido CHOPS! The fans rally up and the CHOPS just start flying fast ‘n’ furious!

Bandido CHPOS, CHOPS, CHOPS, then whips, but Lethal reverses to CHOP! Lethal runs, but Bandido POP-UP CUTTERS! The fans fire up as Lethal staggers, and Bandido runs in at the corner. Lethal BOOTS Bandido, runs up, but into a scoop and BACKBREAKER! Lethal runs back in, but into another BACKBREAKER! Another scoop, then the torture rack! Lethal fights the arm hook, Bandido still finds it, X KNE- NO!! Lethal blocks that knee, CLUBS that leg, and DISCUS LARIATS Bandido inside-out! The fans fire up, Lethal has the legs, “WOO~!” FIGURE FOUR- NO, Bandido kicks! Lethal blocks that kick, steps in on that leg, but Bandido cradles again! TWO!!

Bandido kicks, Lethal blocks, DRAGON SCREW! Lethal steps through, FIGURE FOUR! Lethal has the iconic hold on and Bandido endures! Bandido flails, reaches out, but his shoulders are down! The ref counts the cover, TWO as Bandido sits back up! The fans duel, Bandido reaches out, but Lethal puts on the pressure! Bandido still fights towards the ropes, but Lethal drags him back to center! The fans rally, Bandido fights his way around to the side, ROPEBREAK! Lethal lets go, then he brings Bandido around to SMASH the knee off the mat! Lethal drags Bandido up, stomps that bad leg, then KICKS the leg!

Bandido hobbles, Lethal KICKS the leg again, then he KICKS the leg out! Bandido is on his knees and fans chant, “One More Time!” Lethal obliges and KICKS that leg! Lethal then calls his shot, but Bandido reels him in! Lethal ELBOWS free, ROCKS Bandido again, then whips. Bandido reverses, Lethal handsprings, but into the torture rack! X KNEE!! Bandido hobbles but he takes aim! Lethal’s on the ropes, Bandido runs in! BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, Bandido wins!

Winner: Bandido, by pinfall (denies Jay Lethal a title match)

This match was fast ‘n’ furious, but Bandido wins with time to spare! More importantly than that, he shows Lethal respect by shaking his hand and even hugging it out. The champ surely has a long line of contenders forming at this very moment, but who will get their shot at The Most Wanted?

My Thoughts:

A very good ROH here, clocking in at just under 47 minutes. Very good stuff in this ROH World Six Man Tag title story, as MXM TV get a good win in their match, but we also get a good promo from Dustin & The Von Erichs to call them out. Good match with Violence is Forever plus Davey Bang, and I feel Ross might still need to iron some things out. His escape from that suplex could’ve been cleaner. And while Ross & Marshall are good guys, I feel like this really should be where their reign as Six Man Tag champs ends. They’ve held those since last summer, haven’t done anything in a long time, we need to move on and put those belts on wrestlers who travel with AEW & ROH.

Very good promo from Taya to call out Catalina, and they’ll have a very good match. If Red Velvet is still going to be a Heel, I feel like Catalina wins to challenge her, and then Velvet gets another win as the champ. Marina of course won her match, she really dominated Nixi. Ishii VS Vance was rather competitive, but I figured Ishii would win anyway. And while we got a great 8 minute (give or take) match from Bandido VS Lethal, I suppose Bandido was going to win. Even if it was just a Proving Ground match, Bandido wasn’t going to turn around from winning this title on Sunday to lose here. Supercard of Honor is May 2nd, they have three episodes to build someone into a contender and I have no idea who that will be.
