Brad Attitude & TW3 vs. Sinner and Saint
Judas Icarus delivered a great twisting brainbuster on TW3 for a near fall. A little while later, Icarus hit a frog splash for another near fall. Sinner and Saint won when Icarus hit a kick into a Travis Williams suplex for the pinfall.
Match Result: Sinner and Saint won when Williams pinned TW3 (6:56)
— Gia Miller interviewed Action Mike Jackson, who said TNA took a backseat to anybody. Apparently other wrestling companies need cheerleaders and applaud signs. Steph DeLander and Mance Warner interrupted and inexplicably this leads to a match between Action Mike Jackson and Mance Warner on the ppv.
Alan Angels vs. Ryan Nemeth
There’s a 90% chance I reviewed this same match on AEW Dark during the pandemic.
Before the match can get underway, Frankie Kazarian came out in street clothes. Kazarian called off the match and decided it was time for an episode of The King’s Speech. Nemeth decides that he’s going to get paid since he got in the ring, so he’s cool with whatever and leaves.
Match Result: No Contest.
Alan Angels hangs out in the ring while Kazarian brags about how he got them a new tv deal and he’s signed a new contract.
The fans chant “we don’t care!” Kazarian talked about “Option C” some more and turned to Alan Angels and told him to get out of the ring again. Angels called Kazarian an “@$$hole” which got a chant out of the crowd. This is Angels big return to TNA! Kazarian turned his back on Angels, who punched him in the face and challenged him to a match.
Alan Angels v. Frankie Kazarian
Angles cut Kazarian with the Rings of Saturn but Kazarian turned that in a cradle for two. Angels went for a moonsault, but Kazarian sidestepped him and caught him with the chicken wing, and Angels big return to TNA has him tapping in two minutes.
Match Result: Kazarian taps Angels (2:20).
— Arianna Grace and Stacks are going to be the new power couple in wrestling when Grace wins the Knockouts Title and Stacks retains the International Title.
TNA Knockouts Battle Royal for a World Title Shot
Elayna Black, Tessa Blanchard, Mila Moore, Victoria Crawford and Mara Sadé got entrances. Rosemary was clotheslined out of the ring by Jody Threat and eliminated. Rosemary pulled chair out from other the ring and then chased one of the referees to the back. Jada Stone tossed Tasha Steelz. Stone was then tossed out by Elayna Black. Moore dumped Harley Hudson. Crawford delivered a Northern Lights suplex to Myla Grace because it’s her best move. Crawford then dropkicked Grace to the floor.
Moore set up Threat for a superplex, but Threat overpowered her. Crawford tried to help Moore, and Blanchard charged into the three of them, but only Moore and Crwaford were eliminated. Threat managed to hang on by literally the skin of her boots.
Sadé and Black fought out onto the apron. Sadé did not hit Black with a superkick, but Black sold it anyway and dropped to the floor. Blanchard then pushed Sadé off the apron to eliminate her. Blanchard celebrated prematurely, and Jody Threat snuck up from behind and tossed Blanchard for the victory.
Match Result: Jody Threat won the Battle Royal, last eliminating Tessa Blanchard (7:53)
— Gia Miller interviewed the babyface team in the main event. Leon Slater is not going to cash in on option C anytime soon, and Mike Santana is going to eat his opponents up.
— Jelly Roll was shown in the crowd.
Stacks (w/ Arianna Grace) v. Trey Miguel (w/ Teddy Swims) for the TNA International Title
Teddy Swims is “one of the biggest stars in music today” according to Hannifan. Grace raked Miguel in the eyes, so I guess that angle from a few weeks ago where Grace didn’t like Miguel’s cheating has been dropped. Stacks took control of the match with a chinlock. Stacks looses his footing trying to climb the turnbuckles and the crowd lets him know about it.
Miguel hit a German suplex to begin to take control, then came off the top with a dropkick. Miguel hit a double stomp for a near fall. Miguel went to the top, but Grace cut him off. Stacks and Miguel did a weird looking superplex, which I’m pretty sure was a botched move. Stacks botched a fireman’s carry neckbreaker too. Miguel wedged Stacks head in the turnbuckles for a pair of kicks, and another botched looking move ended as a neckbreaker I think for another near fall. Once Stacks slipped on the ropes, it felt like the whole match fell apart.
Stacks hit a dropkick and tried to sell like he hurt his ankle, which distracted the ref and allowed Grace a cheap shot. But the ref saw the cheap shot and ejected Grace. Miguel hit a DDT on the floor, then dropkicked Stacks in the corner. Miguel hit a shell shock and the Lighting Spiral to get the match.
Match Result: Miguel pinned Stacks to win the International Championship (11:03).
Miguel cried when he Carlos Silva put the title belt around his waist, and the commentators sold the moment as an inspirational, emotional comeback story.
The TNA Injury Report:
- Eddie Edwards is cleared, despite the broken nose he suffered “last night” on Impact.
- Mike Santana is also cleared, despite back issues.
- Jeff Hardy is cleared despite his nagging injuries.
- Jada Stone is in Evaluation after getting attacked by Order 4 tonight (during the battle royal?)
— AJ Francis came out to run down the Nashville fans about the Seattle Super Bowl victory, threaten Jelly Roll, and join the commentary team for the rest of the night.
Mance Warner (w/ Steph De Lander) v. Mike Jackson
Mike Jackson breaks the record for being the oldest wrestler to every step foot in a TNA ring, breaking the record set by… Mike Jackson a few years ago. His first match was against Bobby Eaton in 1977. The crowd is certainly psyched for the old guy, which makes this a great idea for a dark match. Jackson did the old school rope walk across all four sides of the ring. Warner went for a dive, but Warner hit him with aright hand to cut him off.
On the floor, Jackson blocked Warner’s suplex and suplex Warner on the floor, then hit Warner with a tope through the ropes.
Back in the ring, Jackson weathered a flurry of offense from Warner, then caught him with a hangman’s neckbreaker for a near fall. Jackson went for a blind crossbody and Warner easily side stepped him. Warner hit a ugly clothesline. Warner hit an implant DDT to get the pinfall.
Match Result: Mance Warner pinned Mike Jackson (5:22).
After the match, Warner helped Jackson to his feet and shook his hand. De Lander shook Jackson’s hand as well. This angered AJ Francis, who got in De Lander’s face about making Warner soft. Francis left commentary after his verbal scuffle with De Lander and Warner.
— In the back, Grace told Stacks that he’s ruined everything by losing the International Title. Any more screw ups and they’re gonna break up!
Xia Brookside & Indi Hartwell v. Heather & M of the Elegance Brand (w/ The Concierge, Ash & Mr. Elegance), for the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship
Brookside was really impressive her outing last week. Hartwell is very good at taunting the Elegance Brand. Hartwell suplexed Heather for a near fall. M used a surfboard to wear down Indi.
Brookside got the tag and hit a Russian Leg Sweep on Heather. Heather wore down Brookside with a chinlock. Brookside tried to fight out of it, but Heather yanked her down by the hair. Brookside caught M with a small package for a near fall.
Brookside came back with a suplex. M caught Brookside with a drive by kick. While M and Heather celebrated on the apron, Hartwell came from behind with a dropkick to send them to the mat. M missed an elbow drop and Brookside got the tag to Hartwell. Hartwell stormed in with clotheslines and boots. Harwell came off the top with an elbow drop for a near fall. M dropped Brookside with an inverted Death Valley Driver, but Hartwell came back and hit her with a spinebuster.
M sent Hartwell into the turnbuckle post, and the Elegance Brand hit the Nip and Tuck. Hartwell tried to get her foot on the ropes, but Ash pushed it off and the ref counted the pinfall.
Match Result: The Elegance Brand retained when Heather pinned Hartwell (11:06).
Mickie James ran out to alter the ref of the shenanigans, but Ash cut her off. Mickie brawled with Ash and eventually James, Brookside and Hartwell ran off the Elegance Brand.
