Some delightful Undead Realm nonsense on this week's show, I approve

 

[Sky]

But then Arianna wins lol. Who's beating her at this point

 

[Sky]

They could easily have set up an Angel Warriors clash and MADE Xia with how devastated the division is at the moment

Going to watch now. Nice to see I'm apparently not alone

We begin with a Mike Santana promo. Slightly distracted by some weird visual glitch with the ropes lol. I wonder why that happens. Anyways, Santana v Edwards will slap. I'll be surprised if it isn't the TNA MOTY (so far). Lmao Thanos reference. Oh, Ali is coming out now. Kind of funny how this same venue was where Ali was cheered like a babyface on his debut. Trey is here now, too. Moose as well. Santino is so funny omg. He sets up a match! We'll do it right now.

Nice teamwork between Santana and Slater. Agent 0 has aura lmao. Trey is getting beat down for quite a while now. Santana tags in. Then we're back to everyone getting their shit in. Lmao Agent 0 dives over the top rope. Moose powerbombs Ali onto the apron. Moose vs Agent 0! Even the Good Hands get in on the finisher fest. Wow, Eddie hits the Boston Knee Party on Santana and wins. 2 pins on Santana, I doubt he'll take a 3rd... right? Decent match.

Daria Rae segment, ugh. Genuinely can't remember Nic Nemeth apparently getting attacked at Sacrifice. Winner of Arianna vs Xia will face Lei Ying Lee at Rebellion.

EY confronted Sosa after his signing at Sacrifice.

The Hardys are out now. I still think it looks like Dutch murdered Matt in that video The Righteous cut a promo but we have What chants. I don't know wtf the Righteous are talking about (as usual). The Hardys vs The Righteous next week, table match for the titles.

Errr, I think the bunny just made Victoria Crawford disappear. Arianna talks crap to Santana. "They don't even work here" lmao.

Tessa vs Jody in a Bunkhouse match. Idk what a Bunkhouse match is, but we'll roll with it. They brawl at the entrance ramp and then Jody brings the weapons out. "I need to check on her" "Ring the bell!" "Err... okay, ring the bell" Apparently they've done bunkhouse matches before. Seems like it's no dq. Jody with the slowest table removal. Tessa takes over. Jody with the powerbomb into the apron. Jody's knees go into the chair. Lmao Jody using the cable to choke Tessa. Wtf she took the ref's belt. Tessa chokes Jody out. That was ok, I hate the finish.

Ryan Nemeth is doing some investigating. "STD" lmfao. Hmm Tessa follows the bunny.

AJ Francis vs Home Town Man. Omg he lifted Francis up. Lol, Francis takes him out. Alright match. Francis cuts a promo and admits to attacking Nemeth. Face turn for Nic?

Xia's father sent a video to hype her up. Did he just say... Birthright? The exact wording makes me curious.

Main event time. Lol commentary almost make it sound like TNA haven't let the women main event before. AMC era has been like 8 episodes ffs. Omg lol, Jada vs Dani next week. Not awkward at all. Stacks gives Arianna the Cobra. Lol, Stacks pulled Xia away from the pin. She hits a DDT on Stacks! Grace tries to put on the Cobra but Xia grabs it. Stacks gets wiped out by Lee. Arianna uses the title to take out Xia and then pins her. Bruh, Silva saw THE WHOLE THING. Yet he gives 0 shits. Very mediocre match.

Santana takes out Stacks. Eddie is in the crowd. Lil promo battle (also lol at them hyping up the Knockouts main event, but then they pivot to the men's title scene immediately after).

Post credit scene. Tessa is in the undead realm...

Overall, I guess this was alright. Fairly in line with previous weeks. Some good, some mediocre. It's nice that Rebellion is more or less set up, as well. I thought they were going to put the title on Xia, but apparently not. I don't really see Lei Ying winning it back, I feel like there must be something else planned? But I guess we'll see.
