Andrew’s TNA Sacrifice Results & Match Ratings: 3.14.2025
Do the Elegance Clique finally win the damn Knockouts Tags?!
Well even though the build has been…I’ll be nice and say mixed. We should get a few decent matches and hopefully some stuff to build off of moving forward toward WrestleMania Weekend. Love her or hate her, Tessa versus Lei should be a great match. I think we all expect Santana vs Ali to be the best match, but Tessa and Lei could put on one hell of a banger too.
Honestly the only real thing I hope happens is the Spitfire loses the damn titles. They’re boring, and I love Dani Luna, but Jody is worthless and in a tag division with only 2 teams, you can’t have the second team lose all the time. Plus Iceman has been the best thing keeping this marginally entertaining. So let’s get one title change at least.
With KC Navarro getting the pinfall win on the Countdown it’s already starting off well for my liking. Let’s see if it keeps going.

Results:
Street Fight: Sami Callihan vs Mance Warner w/SDL
So this was a clever bleed. Callihan and Mance started to brawl during the YouTube Countdown and started their match out of impromptu, “well they’re here” logic. We only got a few minutes of trash can and chair spots on the outside before it walked over to the main show where the brutality picked up. Sami drives Mance’s head into the corner stuck trash can, cookie sheets get traded from both guys, they fight over the staple gun spot and Sami takes one in the face with a smile but grabs the staple gun himself and staples Mance in the balls, then staples his tongue to the top buckle. Mance manages to turn things around, SDL hands Mance a screwdriver, but Sami blocks the Screwdriver spot with a Stunner for a near fall. As they move to the ropes, SDL does her best Mr. Fuji impression and hits Sami in the eyes with the powder! Mance hits a running knee strike and finishes the match.
My feed had a small heart attack so the abbreviated recap is because technology is just not being friendly today.
Tessa Blanchard vs Lei Ying Lee
Tessa starts off with aggression driving Lei into the corner, stomping her and Whipping her to the other corner. Calls back to the hesitation Slap from last night but this time Lei just gets pissed off. She hits successive slaps herself, drives Tessa into the far corner, Running High Knee into the 10 Count Down Strike and Northern Lights Suplex. Lei looks to continue, Tessa begs off to stall Lei and she throws Lei out of the ring. Tessa happy with her work doesn’t move so Lei pops up and drags Tessa out. The run around starts, Lei is chasing and gets caught, Tessa throats her on the middle rope and then bounces her face off the post before soaking in the hatred.
A few near falls keep Tessa very much in control, a big right hand knocks Lei on her ass again. Tessa starts kicking her mockingly and then drags Lei’s face across the top rope before eventually tossing her to the outside. Tessa goes to the corner to flip off the crowd and agitate all of El Paso so Lei starts to recover and Tessa goes after her to bring her back in for more punishment. Lei grabs the rope to block Tessa, Tessa right hand, Whip, Lei with the Sunset attempt but a version of Garvin Stomps into a Low Dropkick gives another near fall to Tessa. Lei is getting worked over hard as Tessa holds her down with the Headlock. The crowd starts chant “Let’s Go Lee”, so that’s nice to hear them react well and try to rally Lei instead of just hate Tessa.
Jumping Knee from Lei, a flurry of Thrust Kicks and Round Kicks, Lei hits a Fisherman’s Suplex, Tessa leans against the ropes so Lei hits a dropkick. Lei puts Tessa in the Torture Rack, TKO! But it’s only for two! Lei wants to pull a Shinsuke Nakamura and hit the Vertical Suplex inside out, but Tessa blocks, drops Lei and Slingshot Tornillo into the near fall. Tessa gets frustrated and gets a little careless so Lei hooks the leg for a Calf Killer variation, but Tessa gets to the ropes. A little jockeying for position in the corner, AVALANCHE CORKSCREW BRAINBUSTER from Lei Ying Lee! 1-2….2.9. Tessa slips the Death Valley Driver position with the rake to the face, hits a Cutter and Tessa looks for Magnum, Lei eats it and Tessa wins!
Lucha Rules Trios: Rascalz & Ace Austin vs Wes Lee, Tyriek & Tyson
Heel just rotate tagging out instead of locking up just to stall and be dicks, even though it’s Lucha rules. Eventually Ace and Wes lock up and go outside so Tyson and Trey jump in, so they do remember it’s Lucha Rules. Tyson and Trey spill out, Tyriek and Wentz go back and forth with Wentz hitting a Corkscrew Crossbody. All three of the NXT Heels are on the outside, so TNA team Dives. Rascalz get caught by Tyriek and Tyson and slammed into the apron. Wes gets hit by Ace, and Ace tries to fight off the two bigger men but the numbers catch up and Wes sneak attacks and drives his face into the steps. Little bit of tandem offense from the NXT crew, isolating Ace and not really giving him a chance to beath. Wes hits a quick strike combo, Dropkick to the seated Ace, looks for the running Shooting Star, but misses.
Ace powders to try and get the Rascalz to jump in but Wes Superkicks both of them and tells Wes to get the hell back in. That’s a clever way to show getting around the Lucha Rules. Tyriek and Tyson start to smother Ace, they seat him on the ropes but a timely Double Dropkick gives him space, Wes tries to hold him back, but Ace tags out and both Rascalz come in, ABC combination, Mayu Iwatani Assisted Missile, FEED EM TO THE LIONS! But Wes actually kicks out! Rascalz look for Hot Fire Flame but Wentz gets pull out of the ring so Trey moonsaults onto his face.
Heels hit an Execution Double Stomp, Double Chokeslam, and…Trey actually kicks out! Trey manages a Meteora on Tyriek, but Tyson hits the Pop Up Powerslam, Wentz with the Back Handspring Knee, Wes hits the Running Meteora, Ace and Wes fight to the outside. Ace dodges, Wes joins Ace on the acrobatics, Trey slides from the ring to the outside for the Tornado DDT to the floor after Wes and Ace kick the taste out of Tyson and Tyriek’s mouths.
They surround Wes in the ring, Wes mouths off, Lightning Spiral + Fold combination, Trey and Ace take out Tyson and Tyriek, SPIRAL TAP from Wentz! Rascalz & Ace win!
Steve Maclin vs Frankie Kazarian
EY comes out to commentary so that’s a wrinkle for this overall story.
Collar and Elbow tie up into Back Elbow from Maclin and Kaz powders. Maclin gives Kaz space, Kaz takes a shortcut to come back in, strings a few moves together into a Guillotine Leg Drop. Kaz looks to continue but Maclin shrugs him off, clocks Kaz, Olympic Slam into Tree of Woe and Caught in the Crosshairs for only two! Kaz powders to dodge the K.I.A. and when Maclin looks to follow, Stun Gun from Kaz into a Slingshot DDT for a near fall. Kaz looks for a Chicken Wing, Maclin blocks, looks for a K.I.A. again, but Kaz counters by wrestling Maclin down, Kaz locks in a Double Wrist Grapevine Submission but Maclin manages to get a foot free and kick Kaz in the face to break the submission. Kaz powders and eats a SCUD. Maclin heads to the top, Kaz cuts him off, looks for Fade to Black, but Maclin slips it. Busaiku Knee attempt misses, Kaz wants another Chicken Wing but Maclin spins out and lands a short range Busaiku for the near fall.
Positioning in the corner, Kaz counters the Back Body Drop, Kaz tries the Chicken Wing again but Maclin uses the corner to flip himself back over to turn it into a pinfall to counter. More positioning and Kaz locks in the Chicken Wing. Maclin crawls to the ropes, Kaz still doesn’t break, so Maclin and Kaz spill out, Kaz doesn’t let go, the refs break it up. Referees are paying attention to Maclin, so Kaz goes to the commentary table to slip on Brass Knuckles, but EY sees him stops him from using them, and because Maclin and the ref are distracted EY hits Kaz with the knuckles and rolls him in. Maclin hits the K.I.A for the win!

3 on 2 Handicap Match: TNA Knockouts Tag Titles: Spitfire (c) vs Elegance Clique & Personal Concierge
Ash and Heather come out in Mariachi outfits, the Concierge is in short trunks and a bow tie. It’s so dumb it makes these awful belts tolerable. It’s like Dragon Gate’s Owari Gate belt. Just a joke and should be treats as such.
Ash and Dani start, and we get comedy early since Ash takes a small advantage, all three get in some quick tags and offense, Concierge hits the Axe Handle from…the Bottom Rope. He then goes for a Wristlock, Dani just glares at him and Concierge gets scared and tags in Heather. Heather than proceeds to take all of the bumps. She gets Suplexed, double teamed twice and is the bump girl which is perfect for Ash’s persona. They distract Dani when she perches so Heather kicks her off the buckles, Ash laughs, Concierge starts doing a little Disco Inferno/Dancing Baby dance, and the crowd hates it. More quick tags, Concierge goes in now, gets a few shots in and more dances, Dani powers out of the corner and the Elegance girls distract the ref so Concierge can tag out.
Lots of goofy quick tags, but Heather and Ash hit a Rocket Launcher/Lung Blower tandem move for two. So there’s a few decent moves and moments sprinkled within the cringe. Dani finally Suplexes Heather into tomorrow, simultaneous tags and Jody starts taking out both Elegance women. Concierge jumps on Jody’s back to stop the onslaught but he gets shrugged off. Jody throws both women out of the ring, hits a Dive, and looks tot ry and finish the match with Ash. Airplane Spin Blue Thunder Bomb but Concierge breaks it up, starts dancing again and Jody looms over him. Spitfire hits the Pressure Drop on Concierge, Heather drags out Dani, Ash Chop Block on Jody, Avalanche Curb Stomp by Elegance! THEY WIN! THEY DID IT!
Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson’s music hits and we finally have a new team to challenge for the belts. But the match was funny, and this was also necessary where there’s only been two Knockouts Tag Teams in the company for the last 4 or 5 months.
Mike Santana vs Mustafa Ali w/Cabinet
Santana comes out in the full Eddie Guerrero swag. Lowrider, I’m Your Papi t-shirt, huge pop in El Paso.
Ali avoids the lock up for the first few minutes but Santana catches him by the hair, tries to throw him in the corner, but Ali continues to be slippery. Chain wrestling start that finally stops when Ali tries the Leap Frog, but Santana catches him with the Death Valley Driver. Three Amigos next, but after two Ali goes for a Small Package counter to stop the Amigos. Ali wants the Satellite DDT next, but Santana holds on, and executes the Three Amigos this time. Tope con Hilo into the Guerrero kneeling pose. Santana throws Ali through the corner post area, Ali tries to slow things down but eats a Wrecking Ball Dropkick. Santana then gets bounced off the apron and Ali hits a 450 Polish Hammer on Santana’s arm when he’s bracing himself on the apron to get up.
Great Hands throw Santana back into the ring, Ali gets the near fall. Ali throws Santana into the corner, Santana tries to counter but Ali slips through the ropes, Gamengiri into the Outside In Rolling Neckbreaker for another near fall. Santana tries to fight back up, Ali bounces off the ropes and Satellite Takedown into a Crossface! Santana barely gets to the ropes, but it’s not over yet. Santana looks for a second to catch his breath on the apron but Ali hits a Sliding Dropkick to send Santana flying. Ali then goes for another Suicida, but Santana catches him with a Cutter on the floor!
10 Count begins, both get up and slide in at 9.5. Fighting Spirit spot of trading strikes on the way back up to their feet. Santana gets the advantage, throws Ali into the corners, a few Hip Attacks, Ali looks for a few counters but counters everywhere. Spin the Block is blocked, Santana hits the Gamengiri, Rolling Buck Fifty is countered with a German Suplex but Santana no sells, and eats another High Angle German. Ali wants the 450, but misses and runs through, Satellite DDT for only two! Ali scolds the crowd and looks for the 450 again and hits nothing but mat. Santana tries to charge, eats a Superkick, another charge Gamengiri. Ali looks for the Rolling Neckbreaker as Santana thinks Rolling Buck Fifty to catch him and counter! Santana hits the Frog Splash, 1-2-KICK!
Great Hands actually get involved but Santana takes them out, Ali tries to take advantage but he catches Ali into a Powerbomb. Tasha mouths off, Great Hands distract the ref, Slap from Tasha and Victory Roll with the ropes from Ali, referee doesn’t see the rope hold, so Ali wins!
TNA Knockouts World Championship: Masha Slamovich (c) vs Cora Jade
Cora kicks Masha in the back during the introductions but Masha just gets pissed off, Lariats Cora a few times, Hair Snapmares into the PK between the Shoulder Blades, and Cora is getting rocked. Cora powders, Masha looks for a dive, but Cora just walks away to dodge and Masha puts the brakes on. Cora runs away, slides back in, does the old “grab the ring drapes to distract the ref” so she can poke the eyes of Masha and take a few short strikes and short cuts into a Springboard Stomp for a near fall.
A few more stomps and a Crossbody against the ropes keeps everything going well for Cora Jade. Cora with a Snap Suplex, a few more strikes as Masha tries to fight back up to her feet, but Cora is keeping pretty good control until things go bad for Cora in the corner. Sunset from Masha, into the pull into Snake Eyes, and then a Slam from Masha. Masha goes for a Short Rolling Suplex back into the corner, a few more head kicks and then a Capo Kick for…only two. A little silly to have so many strikes go at her head when she’s coming of a concussion…but she seems alright so far. Cora snaps off a Destroyer on the apron and Masha doesn’t look like she’ll beat the 10 count so Cora is forced to go collect her. Jaded gets hit! Too close to the ropes though and Masha gets her foot on the ropes.
Cora grabs her, but Masha Jacknife cover for two. Cora keeps mouthing off, so we get the strike spot cause of course we do. Cora hits the ropes for a big strike but eats a Sambo Kick into Requiem and it’s over.
X Division Championship Ladder Match: Jeff Hardy vs Moose (c)
Bell rings, both men jaw in the middle and then scramble to opposite sides for a ladder, Moose has issues getting the ladder in but Jeff doesn’t. So that’s a good story immediately since Jeff is well known for ladder matches. Moose being a little out of his depth early is a good way to frame the early going. Jeff hits a few quick kicks and shots, Moose wants to use his power but Jeff says no, and snaps off a Suplex of his own. Jeff wants a Twist of Hate, but Moose shoves him into the steps to save himself from eating more offense. Moose finds a chair, sets it up an Body Drop on the Apron first, then Moose leans a Ladder against the apron, uses the chair as a brace and looks for a Jacknife Powerbomb, but Jeff shoots the double, Low Dropkick to the abdomen, and Jeff looks for…a specially painted Hardy ladder!
Jeff hits Moose a few times with the painted ladder, then sets it up, climbs and Moose grabs a chair to stop Hardy. Moose is very determined to find his own ladder and set up some Erector Set shenanigans. I had a Steel Tec as a kid, and I guess Moose did too. One more chairshot for good measure, and the Jacknife through the creation finally happens! Instead of breaking the ladder, the rung of the painted ladder it was positioned on is what breaks!
Moose babyfaces himself to the crowd and grabs a table. The crowd starts chanting for Moose because everyone loves tables apparently. Propped up in the corner, Nero gonna die, or no! He counters the Jacknife with the Back Body Drop and throws himself at Moose on the outside to stop the weapon art. Jeff crawls back in, crawls up the side that Moose braced with the other ladder, Moose follows and a Cutter off the ladder because Moose looked like he knew it wasn’t stable enough for the entire planned spot. A slow stumble to the ropes for Jeff to set something up, but Moose crotches him and chucks a Ladder out and it hits the cameraman! Moose throws the other ladder and it nearly hits Alisha! Superplex from the top for Moose, Twist of Fate from Hardy and Moose No Sells to hits Lights Out! Everybody Down like it’s Smackdown vs Raw.
Back and forth in the ring, Jeff is laying against the ropes, Moose charges and Jeff deposits Moose over the top onto the first ladder creation spot! Jeff now finds a table as the peasants rejoice! Hardy does the Forearm shots and Sabu’s a chair at Moose while putting him on the table. Jeff tries to rip off his shirt but it’s made of the same stuff that Lex Luger shirt was made of, so he just Swantons and connects! Jeff Sabu’s another chair, finds a new ladder and looks to set things up. The ladder is up, Jeff is climbing but Lish comes into the ring with Kendra! She starts lighting up Jeff, but Jeff hits a Twist of Hate on Lish! Moose makes it back in and Spears Jeff through Chekov’s table!
Ladder is set up in the middle, Moose climbs and…MOOSE WINS!
KC and AJ comes out for a new segment and it’s a little reminiscent of Virgil and Ted DiBiase doing the 100 dollar challenge. They’re killing time for the setting up of the ring, and running down children in the crowd and what not. Octagon and Laredo try to come out for a babyface Spanish flop but that flops slightly. When Octagon and Laredo aren’t over in El Paso, there’s a problem.
Steel Cage Match 5v5: Matt Hardy, Joe Hendry, Elijah, Nic Nemeth & Leon Slater vs The System
So it’s WarGames style rules of the match not starting until everyone is in, and Elijah comes in on a horse and sings a song for about 8 minutes before starting with Eddie. If it weren’t for the bad microphone, it was pretty good. Elias gets most of his stuff in on Eddie, Rope Walk, a few clubbing blows, and Eddie starts turning it around with Chops and Eye Pokes. Elijah levels Eddie until Myers comes in second. Typical numbers advantage stuff, System Overload gets hit right as the Countdown is happening and Nic Nemeth hits the cage in a 2 on 1 situation since Elijah ate a System Overload. Nic takes it to them both, hits a Rude Awakening/DDT combination move. Elijah recovers enough to start helping out and then Orlando Colon is next in! Orlando hits the ring and immediately starts Suplexing Nic, and then Backstabber off the Back Body Drop slip, so The System is well in control right now.
Leon Slater hits the cage next and there’s some moves on the top rope with Eddie and a Frakensteiner gets a decent pop out of the crowd. Eddie Colon is next, and he cuts off Leon immediately by Sweeping the Leg, tosses Leon into the Cage, then moves on to Elijah and lights him up with a Missile Dropkick. Matt Hardy is next to last, because of course you save Hendry for the final pop. Matt connects with a Side Effect once he slides in and the face squad all hit Delete Face Smashes into the four corners. Leon and Matt pull of a Plot Twist on Orlando Colon and Dango is the last System member and he brings a chair. Dango with the Jacknife Powerbomb into the cage on Leon. Myers starts laying people out with the chair and then we believe in Joe Hendry!
Myers blocks the door from Hendry while perches on the ropes, so Hendry pops him back and then a few heavy Lariats take control, Sack of Shit for Eddie Colon, Dango Crossbody is caught, Sack of Shit for him, Hendry perches Eddie, and Avalanche Sack of Shit with Kip Up on Eddie. Hendry hits the turn, and Myers Low Blows him as The System swarm like Hyenas. Superkick Party and Shatter Machine from The System for a near fall on Hendry. Nic breaks it up, but gets bounced off the cage and eats a Blue Thunder Bomb for his effort. MOKUBA RUNS OUT to support! Leon tries to fight back but gets crotched on the top rope, Tower of Doom spot looming? Oh they’re putting him on the top of the cage. Super Doom? Leon fights it off, Dango and Eddie crotch themselves while falling, Leon hits the Swanton 450 off the top of the cage into a mass of humanity.
Signature and Finisher spams, Danger Zone, Standing Ovation, Hendry sets up a chair for Elijah to hit a Flying Knee, crotches Dango on the back of the chair, Twist of Fate, Chair Necklace Twist of Fate! Babyfaces win…fairly clean and anti-climactically.
As they’re celebrating, everyone leaves the cage except Nic and Matt Hardy. Ryan gets in the cage, locks the door and Nic hits Danger Zone on Matt! The Kaiba Boys are on the same page!
Overall Score: 6.75/10
So let’s lead with the good stuff. Elegance Consortium winning the titles is perfect, the Knockouts Tags are a joke, so giving it to a group that is at least entertaining makes it less painful. Ali and Santana was a great match, that will hopefully just build and get better since it ended with cheating. Tessa and Lei were great, as many times as I’ve questioned Lei’s moveset with most of the Knockouts, her and Tessa have a great chemistry. I want to see more of it. They both looked great and Tessa winning is the logical move given everything that comes with her, but I don’t want to see Lei slip down the rankings too much. She is money. Get the belt off of Charisma Vacuum Masha and get some women who can wrestle a stiffer style. The main event, while the match itself was flat as a pancake on the highway, the finish at least paid off the Mokuba gimmick. I’ve said it a few times, Nic was either gonna kick Ryan’s head off or turn heel with him, and we got the heel portion, which is kinda nice since we don’t have many well positioned heels in TNA. Too damn many babyfaces with no credible long term threats.
As for the bad, nothing was really bad. If my stream didn’t have a heart attack the Callihan match could’ve been better than I rated it, but I just have generally been down on Sami’s work since he’s come back. He feels directionless and whatever Mance is currently doing is not as entertaining as his MLW or GCW persona. So hopefully something gets moving with those two, because they’re both too good to be hamstrung by doofus angle direction.
Now let’s get Dani in the singles division, let’s see Nemeths vs Hardys after the Hardys take the NXT Tag titles off of Fraxiom. I think that could be fun if Hardy become Double Champs for a day or two but drop the TNA to the Nemeths because they just don’t have the tanks for two high caliber tag teams or something. Also it should be interesting where the Maclin and EY stuff actually pays off.
Oh and I totally forgot KC’s Blessing in Disguise was a Destino. Let him win more often. That’s a great move, he does it well and that kid is smooth as butter. Push KC Navarro and not Leon Slater because he has no charisma or aura. Too damn many people in TNA have zero aura. Why do you think Hendry is over as hell? Some people think he’s corny or don’t think he’s a good wrestler, but bro can talk his ass off. People want to be entertained more than they want to see a Corkscrew 960 through a glass table, off the backboard, nothing but net.
Decent show, just a little lacking. But the Ali vs Santana & Lei vs Tessa matches are worth a watch.

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 3.5.2026
Two title matches tonight! Do they amount to anything?
Coming off the worst show in a few months, but still tolerable, we get a Live show today. Now we know that most TNA shows have audio run by a high school AV club, so there is bound to be muted audio, dumb stuff and mics that aren’t on. So we can only hope the show is good regardless of audio.
I don’t really love two perceivably useless title matches though. Jody Threat is not a threat to anything beyond catering. She’s trash and has no shot against Arianna even if there wasn’t going to be cheating. Plus Nic already has the trophy for a World title shot, so giving him the X Division makes no sense.
Lets see where this goes.

Results:
TNA Knockouts World Championship: Jody Threat vs Arianna Grace (c) w/Stacks
Tessa’s music hits right after Arianna’s and it blended gorgeously. Tessa’s crew looks amazing especially Tessa. So I’m…not upset.
Arianna attacks Jody as soon as the bell rings, Jody does turn it around into Short Arm Lariats in the corner and an Exploder Suplex. But then Dani Luna walks out through the crowd to watch. I do like that the muddied Knockouts title picture is being put on display. Indi Hartwell walks out too. Arianna lays in some trips and knees after Jody gets distracted. Twisting Neckbreaker from Arianna and we see Lei and Xia on the ramp too. The whole Knockouts Division are circling like sharks…it’s cool and all the Knockouts look great.
Jody fires but the crowd doesn’t really care. They aren’t reacting to her, just kinda amusing themselves. Double Knees, Release German into a Michinoku Driver for two. Stacks pulls out Arianna allowing Jody a Dive spot to wipe out Stacks. Arianna and Jody tug of war over the Cobra, Arianna wins the tug of war, kicks Jody in the ribs and Roll-Up retains!
The match was useless because Jody sucks and isn’t a real threat. So it was fine to give Arianna a title defense, but there was no way Jody was winning and this still made her look bad.
The Elegantos walk out, Mr. E is wearing Daisy Dukes. Literally, not figuratively. The only way this dude will be salvageable is if he ends up being Kurt Angle in the ring. They start insulting Mama June who’s in the audience, and they say she should be at a Food Truck. So ODB shows up. The Elegantos continue to talk shit, ODB takes them out, kicks Mr. E in the nards and her with the Mama June cast dump Chilli all over the Elegantos. A dumb stop, but ODB is a TNA Legend and I think she was talking about retiring this year. So it’s always nice to see One Dirty Bitch.
The System vs The Righteous vs Sinner & Saint vs BDE & Rich Swann
BDE starts with one of the loser jabronis, they tag the other in, Rewind Suplex into a tandem Dropkick, but then Rich tags in Bear Bronson takes a Blind Tag, wipes out Rich and BDE, Jabronis do a stupid assisted Dive spot but BDE and Swann get their spot in and then Dutch does his big boy Tope con Hilo. The crowd likes it but I don’t care about the car crash spot.
Dutch and Righteous have some tandem offense, but Bear with another blind tag, Choke Bomb from Bear on Vincent for two. A few more stomps before tagging to Myers and then Vincent starts to fight up but Myers cuts him off. Bear tags back in, tandem Suplex gets reversed into a Double Neckbreaker and the match breaks down a little. Jabronis get laid out by Swanny, Frankensteinering one into the other for two. Nerds double team Swann, but they suck so Rich eventually rolls out of it, BDE tags in, his Oscutter gets caught and simultaneous Lariats for the random tag spot. Vincent tags in, but BDE Small Package gets two. Dutch and Vincent with an Assisted Cutter and everyone else breaks up the pinfall.
Vincent with a DDT/Flatliner combo after the mayhem, Roster Cut and Spear from Myers, Bear with a Fire/Thunder Driver for the win!
Decent enough, the right team won anyway. Jabronis are trash, BDE & Swann are too new and Righteous is in a weird spot while we just saw them get a shot.
Moose and Alisha come out to address things. Moose says The System ain’t family, and shouts out his former Falcons teammates in attendance like John Abraham. Moose is bringing decent intensity, he’s just tripping over a lot of his punchlines.
Elayna Black vs Mara Sade
Collar and elbow tie up, running each other into ropes before Elayna tries to take advantage of the break, Mara turns it around but then Elayna finds a spot to hit her own chop. They’re both throwing a lot of personality and countering the others stuff. It’s basic but not offensive. Elayna dodges a Plancha, but Mara catches herself which is clever, but then Elayna trips her on the apron and she crashes down. So both are showing clever spots. Chop into a Rope Bounce Stomp for a near fall.
Elayna connects with a Fun Splash into the ropes, then kicks Mara in the face multiple times before goading the crowd and peppering in Elbows before a near fall. Elayna gets a Bow and Arrow locked in, with Mara fighting through it. Mara throws a few punches into Lariats, and a Slingblade. Mara is on a roll, Springboard Crossbody from Mara for two. Mara wanted a Double Arm DDT, but it’s blocked, Mara ole’s Elayna’s charge, Dropkicks her to the outside and throws her back in after the Plancha. Missile Dropkick for good measure and Mara is in full control.
Elayna finds an avenue to stop Mara’s offense with a DDT. She powders and grabs a chair. During the referee taking the chair, she uses the knuckles she had hidden, lays out Mara and wins the match.
Honestly okay match, and the BS finish means there’s a chance to get more out of it. They seem to work well together.

Audio issues continue to plague this show and TNA Live events in general. Kaz and Elijah is an okay King’s Speech segment. Elijah does like these mid promo cutaways, which is funny yet hampered because of audio issues. Devolves into Kaz basically just title mogging him, then AJ Francis chucks Home Town Man off the stage into the audience level and Elijah goes to check on him in typical babyface fashion.
TNA X Division Championship: Nic Nemeth w/Ryan vs Leon Slater (c)
Nic with a quick Head and Arm cradle for a near fall and a few quick amateur wrestling spots. Leon tries to fight back, the wrist tape to the face shortcut from Nic, before Leon Dropkicks Nic out of the ring, Dives, rolls Nic back in and Ryan trips up Leon on the way back in so Nic hits the FAMEasser for a near fall. Nic follows up with the Boot Lace Rake and moving into deliberate pacing with shortcuts, thumb to the eye, measure Leon as he stumbles for a Dropkick and another near fall before the commercial kicks in.
Coming back from commercial Leon counters the Irish Whip straight into the turnbuckle and Nic goes crashing. Leon runs the ropes, takes Nic’s Head off, Spiderman Rebound Leg Lariat for a nearfall. Leon goes to the top, Nic hits the ropes to crash Leon and big Implant DDT for a two count. Leon slow to get up, Danger Zone almost, Lethal Injection counter, almost, Nic runs into Leon and Leon catches him with the Blue Thunder Bomb for a two count.
Leon heads back to the buckles, 450 nope, Superkick nope, Rewind Mule nope, FAMEasser, but Leon grabs him, hangs him and Styles Clash. Leon goes to the top, 450 but eats the knees! Nemeth locks in the Rear Naked Choke. Leon turns it into a near fall so Nic has to break it for a second, he tries to reapply but Leon drops back to break the hold. Leon fires up, kicks off Ryan, charges and eats a Superkick! Only a two count though. Nic shoves Leon into the corner, perches him. Wants the Superplex, but Leon counters with an Avalanche Final Cut.
Swanton 450, and Leon retains.
Eric Young attacks Leon after the match, Piledrivers him on the outside and then poses with the title before what is probably the last commercial break of the night since Mike Santana needs to talk.
Santana wants Maclin reinstated, sexy SUIT heel shows up and says “Fuck you, but its a good idea”. So she agrees to reinstate Maclin and then Santino makes the match for Sacrifice. Santana is happy but says it’s on sight, and commentary is flabbergasted because they gave Maclin what he wanted.
Overall Score: 5.5/10
While the title matches had no suspension of disbelief, all the correct people went over. The tag team 4 way was haptic but solid with the correct winner. I don’t like Leon but beating Nic is correct. The Elegantos were a decent joke spot for the Legend + crowd interaction moment. Elijah with a new cutaway interview gimmick could be great if mic’d correctly. Lish cheerleading Moose in some cuckhold ass beating angle is hilariously embarassing for the time we live in. But I would still prefer that over Lish doing the obvious thing by turning on Moose when it gets to Eddie’s turn to get his ass beat.
Lastly, Maclin proves that complaining gets you everything. So hooray for negative reinforcement!
Still an okay show honestly. Decent matches, nothing really dragged the pace down.

Athena is backstage.
The Fallen Goddess smiles as Billie Starkz is up to something just around the corner, but then she spots the cameraman. “Oh, snap! Come here! Let’s go!” Athena pulls the cameraman into the room, and Billie has finished beating up Deonna Purrazzo! Athena tells Maya World that well, her petty is stronger than 50 Cent. She doesn’t take losses lightly. And not only did Maya “betray” Athena, but she threw her hat in with this hussy instead of her “Minion Mother” and “Minion Sisters.” This is a lesson: You mess with Athena, you embarrass her, and she claps back twice as hard! But sweet, sweet Pure Champion Deonna, your time is coming to an end!
Because Billie is not gonna disappoint Athena again. She will make history again as she becomes the first woman to have held ROH Women’s TV AND ROH Women’s Pure Championship. And this isn’t personal, but just know this is Athena’s show, and Deonna is a side character. Athena & Billie leave Deonna down and out, but will they reign over ROH no matter what it takes? Or will they regret talking down to Maya and the Virtuosa?
La Faccion Ingobernable speaks.
Sammy Guevara hushes everyone before he says, “Everybody’s Favorite Pillar is about to talk. Sammy Guevara & Beast Mortos have been an el fuego, baby! And that means ‘fire’ in Spanish. We have been undefeated as a tag team. Personally, I believe we are one of the greatest tag teams to walk the face of this earth. Me personally, I’m on my THIRD consecutive reign as ROH Tag Team Champion, without ever losing it! Back-to-back-to-back, never before seen in professional wrestling! But now Tony Khan, he told us we are forced, contractually obligated, to go and defend these titles.
“So here’s an open challenge! To any former world champions, former world tag team champions! Whether it’s this week, next week, the week after, it doesn’t matter, because the result is always gonna be the same. And after we kick your ass, don’t try to sue us, because this man is a shoot lawyer! So if you need a lawyer, call 1-800…” Mortos adds, “ROOOAR~! See you in court, hahaha!” Sammy says step up, or get stepped on! LFI is infinitely confident, but will they still be tranquilo once someone answers the call?

Fox dodges Okada to BOOT him down! Fox keeps going, and he goes right up top! 450 SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!! Okada survives and Fox is shocked! The fans rally as Fox gets Okada up and puts him up top! Fox then runs to go up, up, and ARABIAN- NO, Okada stops that to GERMAN SUPLEX! Just like Lee! But Okada holds on, ripcords, and RAIN- NO, Fox ducks! But Okada spins Fox, but Fox goes Matrix! But Okada DROPKICKS Fox! Then ripcord and RAINMAKER!! Cover, Okada wins!
Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
Okada indeed made it rain, washing away Fox’s dream of holding gold. But will Okada have this same luck when he faces someone at 100%? Or will nothing stop the Don Callis Family from running both AEW and ROH?
My Thoughts:
A great ROH here to begin their new studio show era. The crowd wasn’t the biggest, but I feel like ROH didn’t advertise very well. That is to say, AEW didn’t help ROH advertise this change, no one officially announced it, it just happened. Just another reason TK needs people helping him with everything. Also, can they not do a FULL two hours? We need to keep it at 90 minutes max, but more preferably an hour on average. Two hours should be reserved for “special episodes,” which this did fall under.
Anyway, very good matches all over, great showings for everyone. Perse of course beat Leon, and that CMLL Women’s World Championship match with Mercedes Mone will be great, but I can’t be sure of Perse’s chances. Sidney Akeem continues to do creative, innovative things in the ring, he and CLØN need to have a match just to break the minds of everyone watching. The ROH Tag Division is clearly growing stronger, even if it is maybe quantity over quality. Top Flight gets a great win off GYV, and their interaction with “Paid In Full” clearly teases a match there. Bill & Keith of course won, but I’m not even sure that new name makes sense.
Very good promo from Adam & Tommy to call out “The Lethal Twist,” and they got a very good match and very good win over The Workhorsemen. Good to see Juice Robinson is cleared for action, he and Austin Gunn got a good win off MXM. Very good showing for Zayda against Mina but Zayda has now lost to both Love Bombs. The promo from Good stuff from Lacey VS Robyn, with a very good win for Lacey. I forget all of who have lost Proving Grounds to Red Velvet but I wouldn’t mind seeing Lacey battle Red Velvet real quick.
Athena, Billie and Deonna was good, and it’s about time they officially declared Deonna VS Billie. Athena calling out Maya World again is good, but given they’re doing a Proving Ground first, I feel like they could give Maya that win, and then she ultimately loses in the title match. Athena hasn’t lost any singles match, even a Proving Ground match, in the entire three years she’s been champion, so at least give Maya that achievement.
And great stuff with the “double main event.” I’m still not much for “Four Corners” where you tag in and stuff, just give us a flat out Fatal 4 Way where everyone’s active at once. It turned into that before Menard was eliminated anyway. But Fox winning out was great, he’s been needing wins beyond the “money prize” matches. Okada being the “random” champion was awesome, definitely unexpected. But of course Okada won, Fox went through a very tough match just before that, and also he’s Okada. Fox needs to feud with Nick Wayne now that Nick is back, and Fox should take the TV title off him. Nick had that title the entire time he was injured, TK didn’t bother making an interim title for it like he did the women’s title, so time to get a new champ.
My Score: 8.8/10
