Taped! From New Orleans.

TNA World Title Contract Signing
Daria Rae and Santino Marella were in the ring with a table covered in the “TNA” logo. Of course Rae and Marella were arguing with each other. Marella would take the mic to introduce Edwards, but then Rae would cut him off to bring out Eddie Edwards. Same with Mike Santana. Edwards took a mic and talked about how he and Santana took similar paths in TNA, but when the going got tough, Edwards stayed but Santana went on to greener pastures. Edwards even stayed when TNA “was being laughed at.” (I laughed at “was”). But the grass wasn’t greener in the shadow of the “Inner Circle” (crowd: “Oooh…”), and now he’s back in TNA.
Santana responded that even though he left, he came back because his heart was still in TNA. Edwards was content to stay because he was “comfortable and complacent,” and Santana went out to test himself. Santana “turned down more money than [Edwards] would ever touch,” to come back and build something in TNA. Edwards may be the “foundation,” but Santana took a sledgehammer to the foundation of TNA to rebuild it. Santana does it for the fans and his family.
Edwards tried to bait Santana into attacking him by mentioning his daughter. But Santana didn’t go for the bait, instead turning it on Edwards by saying his wife left Edwards for Moose. Cedric Alexander came in and jumped Santana from behind, but Leon Slater came in to save Santana. The babyfaces stood tall and Slater hit both Edwards and Alexander with a flip dive over the ringpost.
— AJ Francis rejected an offer to play for the Cleveland Browns to learn how to wrestle for free. He also hates Nic Nemeth, who has taken more opportunities from him than he’d care to talk about. Francis attacked Nic at Sacrifice, and he’ll finish the job at Rebellion.
Dani Luna v. Jada Stone
Tasha Steelz joined the commentary team for this match.
Stone caught Luna with a rana that sent her to the floor. She hit her with a dive on the floor, but got distracted by Steelz on commentary. Luna attacked Stone from behind, then murdered her dead with a powerbomb on the ring apron.
Luna knocked Stone back to the floor with a dropkick. Luna bent Stone’s arms backwards with a surfboard. Steelz was pretty bad on commentary. Luna bent Stone’s leg back so her toes touched the back of her head. Luna put Stone in a torture rack. Stone escaped, but ran right into a big boot from Luna.
Luna missed a dive in the corner, but clobbered Stone with a clothesline from behind. Stone escaped a back suplex and caught Luna with a rana, missed a handspring in the corner, but caught Luna with an enziguri. Stone hit a split-legged moonsault for a near fall.
Luna hit a backbreaker, then turned that into a sit-out powerbomb for another near fall. Stone caught Luna with a victory roll for a near fall. Luna floored Stone with a forearm. Stone sent Luna into the turnbuckles with a head scissors, then hit what looked like a Sky Twister Press for the victory.
Match Result: Jada Stone pinned Dani Luna (10:11).
After the match, Steelz laid out Stone with a clothesline from behind.
This felt too long.
Injury Report:
- Nic Nemeth is OUT, but expected to be cleared for Rebellion.
- Tessa Blanchard is banged up, but cleared.
- Jody Threat is banged up and OUT.
- Matt Hardy is cleared, despite his ribs not being 100%.
— Elijah walked around the graveyards of New Orleans. A young kid walked him over to his father’s grave, but it was just a set up for Frankie Kazarian to attack him with a stone. And then Kazarian stiffed the kid on his payoff!
Taryn Terrell Addressed Her Hometown
Terrell came out to thank the fans and her family for supporting her. Terrell said her career didn’t end on her terms, and she’s watched TNA grow since she left. She watched Mickie James come back for the Knockouts Division, and then saw Ash dragging James’ name through the mud.
This brought out the rest of the Elegance Brand, who trashed Terrell for trying to coast off the success of the Elegance Brand. The Concierge pointed out that Terrell was all alone, and on the “Silva Screen” (the big screen in the arena) showed ODB and Mickie James laid out in the back. The Elegance Brand attacked her 4-on-1 and beat up some security geeks as well. Mr. Elegance slammed Terrell, and the Knockout Champions hit her with “Nip and Tuck.”
This pay-per-view feels very thrown together.
— Santino’s finally had enough of Stacks and Arianna Grace, and smacks Stacks. Stacks and Grace ran into the women’s locker room for safety. This gave Marella pause (he didn’t want to enter women’s locker room), until Indi Hartwell came along, poked her head in and gave him the all clear. They went in, the sounds of a fight could be heard behind the door. Eventually Marella and Hartwell emerged victorious. And Hartwell even got the Cobra back for Santino!
Frankie Kazarian v. BDE
Ryan Nemeth was on commentary, kind of trashing his brother. That was weird.
Kazarian outwrestled BDE early. BDE came back with a lung blower and a blockbuster off the middle rope. BDE escaped a chickenwing. He went for the springboard cutter, but Kazarian caught him with a back stabber, then locked in the chickenwing to get the submission.
Match Result: Kazarian won by submission (3:32).
After the match, Nemeth attacked BDE. The lights went off, and when they came back up, Elijah was there to choke Kazarian with a towel before chasing him off.
Elayna Black v. Myla Grace (w/ Harley Hudson)
This is Grace’s first singles match on Impact. This match felt like they got their time cut and were trying to get all their stuff in in four minutes. Grace got a near fall with a twisting suplex. Black hit her finish, “The Blackout” which looked like a jumping neckbreaker with no real impact.
Match Result: Black pinned Grace (3:32).
— Daria Rae told Santino Marella that he was suspended indefinitely (for assaulting talent and invading the women’s locker room). Indi Hartwell tried to come to Marella’s defense, but when she bumped into Rae, Rae decided that was assault, and suspended her, too.
I was pretty excited when Daria Rae showed up. I used to really like her in WWE. Now I wish she’d go away.
Gia Miller Interviewed Ricky Sosa
Miller brought out Ricky Sosa, and officially welcomed him to TNA Wrestling. Miller asked Sosa what he’s set his sights on, but before he could really answer Eric Young came out and took the mic. He called Sosa a “pretender” and a “wannabe,” while Young is forever, and everything flows through him. Young chastised the crowd for doing Sosa’s “Bang! Bang! Sosa! Sosa!” chant. Young caught Sosa with a sucker punch, and they fought into the ring.
In the ring, Sosa backdropped his way out of a piledriver attempt, then caught Young with a pair of running forearms in the corner. But Young caught Sosa with a forearm while he celebrated, then dropped him with a piledriver. The kid sold the piledriver like a million bucks, bouncing a good three feet off the mat.
Tessa in the Undead Realm
James Mitchell was Tessa’s “Concierge” in the undead realm. In another part of the realm, Rosemary laid out their mission to Mara Sade—that they were collecting sins. Allie appeared. “Didn’t you die?” Also wandering around is Mila Moore. Rosemary sent Allie and Sade off on a “side quest.” Victoria Crawford is also wandering around in a hallway with some severed heads. There’s some screaming and Rosemary is listening to the radio.
Rosemary’s eyes are black, and she’s talking to Mila Moore telepathically, or something. And then Moore was grabbed by Havoc. James Mitchell just finished up singing “My Way” and met up with Rosemary. Rosemary leads Mitchell to Abyss. And this is “To Be Continued…”
If any of the last two paragraphs makes any sense at all, believe me, that was not my intention.
Order 4 and Mustafa Ali
Mustafa Ali is in the crowd with Order 4. Ali wasn’t interested in addressing the crowd, but did want to address International Champion Trey Miguel. Miguel came out, and Ali apologized for all the misunderstandings, especially with what happened to Jada Stone. Ali has no issue with Miguel or him being International Champion, but Ali does has a problem with TNA’s fans and their love of “second chance champions.”
All the TNA champions are screw ups who need a second chance, and it’s okay because all the TNA fans will cheer them on. And Ali realized why he’s not a champion in TNA, because he doesn’t need a second chance. He doesn’t “mess up” or “have a shady past.” He “doesn’t get arrested” or have “substance abuse problems.” Ali’s never had a parking ticket even! Ali will never be a champion in TNA because he’s too good for TNA! Preach, Ali, preach!
Miguel grabbed the mic from Ali and called him a scumbag. Miguel said that TNA welcomed him back because he treated TNA like family. But Ali noted that Miguel’s family “isn’t here anymore.” Miguel did get a pretty good line about “Tweetle Dee, Tweedle Dumb, Mutombo and Raggedy Anne” but Ali otherwise owned him on the mic.
Ali told Order 4 to leave so he could fight Miguel one on one, but the second Miguel got the advantage, Order 4 pounced. Agent Zero went to chokeslam Miguel, but Moose ran in and made the save. Ali ate a superkick from Miguel and a spear from Moose. Miguel went to the top to dive on Ali, but the Great Hands dragged him out of the ring.
— Ryan Nemeth v. BDE has been added to Rebellion.
The Hardys v. The Righteous in a Tables Match for the TNA World Tag Team Titles
The Hardys v. The Righteous in a Tables Match for the TNA World Tag Team Titles
First Fall
The fight started out on the floor. To win, one team has to “offensively drive” both of their opponents through a table. Hannifan said the tables match was “the Hardys match.” I thought that was the ladder match? Eh, I guess they’re getting too old to climb up ladders every night.
The Hardys isolated Vincent in the ring. They took him out with a legdrop. Then the Hardys dropped to the floor and whipped Dutch into the ring steps. Back in the ring, they set up Vincent for a top rope elbow through a table, but Vincent got out of the way and Hardy went through the table (but since he put himself through the table, it doesn’t count).
With Matt out of commission, Vincent and Dutch double-teamed Jeff. They tried to whip Jeff into a table propped up in the corner, but Jeff… just kind of stopped to avoid going through the table. Matt came back and he and Jeff deleted Vincent and Dutch’s heads into the turnbuckles. The Hardys then hit Vincent and Dutch in opposite corners with Poetry in (Slow) Motion.
The fight went to the floor, and Jeff sent Dutch into and over the steel steps. Matt sent Vincent headfirst into the A Game Beverage Hydration Station (aka the announce table) and Hannifan talked about Vincent taking a bottle into the eye.
Matt spat a drink into Dutch’s face. Jeff pulled a ladder out from underneath the ring. Jeff hit Vincent with a broom. Matt positioned Dutch onto the table and Jeff started to climb the ladder, but Vincent pulled Jeff off the ladder. Vincent DDT’d Jeff on the floor. Vincent then smashed the ladder with a chair to render it unclimbable.
Vincent and Dutch set up the Hardys for a pair of suplexes that would have sent them crashing through tables on the floor, but they both escaped. Dutch set up Jeff on a table on the floor. Dutch went to the middle rope to splash Jeff through the table, but Matt caught him, and the Hardys slammed Dutch through the table at about 11:40.
Second Fall
Vincent immediately put Matt though a table at 11:50.
Final Fall
Vincent missed a swanton in the ring and dropped to the floor. Matt hit Vincent with a Twist of Fate on the floor. Matt set up Vincent on a table on the floor. Jeff then came off the top with a Swanton through the table on the floor.
Match Result: The Hardys retained the World Tag Team Titles (13:16).
After the match, Carlos Silva presented the tag team titles to The Hardys, and now the Hardys will face Bear Bronson and Brian Myers at Rebellion. While the Hardys celebrated, Dutch attacked them and sent Jeff through the table propped up in the corner.
