ROAD TO AGAINST ALL ODDS

---

 

Week 4 May 2024

 

Xplosion began with Renegade Twins continuing to quash local talent. They have been building up momentum since their debut and are now 4-0 in TNA.

SHAWties held an impromptu tag defense against Fire-N-Flava after Jai Vidal's timely slipping of the tag title to Shaw which she used on Hogan before hitting the Dani Mo (running knee strike). Their celebration was interrupted however by former tag champions, MK Ultra who signalled their intent at getting back the tag titles. While returning to the backstage, two other tag teams circled around them, Coven and Dani Luna and Jodi Threat, now going by their new name of Spitfire. Shaw and Evans rushed out of the arena before any further damage was done.

We also saw backstage all hell breaking loose as Grace and Trinity engaged in yet another slap fight but this time it became more brutal as Kamille got up and tagged with Trinity and dragged Grace to the ring and while they were attacking 2...on...1

 

 

Nixon Newell rushed out to save Grace before hitting the Vulture Culture Destroyer on Kamille. She hadn't been seen in the ring since that heinous attack by Cult of Doom but now her sights were set firmly on Kamille. This also cemented Trinity's heel turn.

Later on, Nixon and Grace would fight off against Kamille and Trinity with Nixon hitting the Vulture Culture Destroyer on Kamille again to win the match and put herself right into contention. She would challenge Trinity to a match at next week's episode and asked Kamille to pay close attention because she is now in the sight of The Welsh Wizard.

 

 

Jake Something shows up to BTI with his Digital Media title even after the heinous attack suffered at the hands of The Herald last week and although with much difficulty, still defended his title against the French Canadian Frankenstein who would inflict whole lot of damage to the already injured leg of Something.

 

 

 

The Tag Ranking Series continued in TNA! Impact as last week's winner Bollywood Boyz would go 2-0 up as they defeated Good Hands while Team Canada would get their winning start by defeating Von Erichs who were now 0-2 and out of any contention at the tag titles.

The opening match saw two young guns Trey Miguel and Leon Slater turn out a breath taking match which Miguel won after hitting the Meteora. He then brought out his spray can and sprayed in the eyes of Slater which brought out Joe Hendry and Miguel retreated.

Jonathan Gresham arrived with the X-Division belt in tow and announces that he has been desperately seeking a match now considering that Nic Nemeth announced that he will be taking time off and not appear at Against All Odds which has robbed him of a PLE appearance. Santino Marella appears and says that next week he will have a chance to defend his belt against a chosen opponent. 

MCMG added fuel to fire before the main event mentioning that the tag match will not just be a simple one, it will be an elimination match and if Sabin manages to pin KENTA, he would get a shot of his own against the shiny new belt i.e STRONG Television title that KENTA had been sporting for a while.

He kept good on his promise as KENTA was the first one to get eliminated as he went for the GTS but Sabin blocked the attempt and then hit the Tanaka Punch before hitting the Cradle Shock to get the upset. It was short lived though as Styles eliminated him soon after with the Phenomenal Forearm.

It all came down to Shelley and Styles and after an enthralling battle that saw both attempting submission moves, Styles Calf Killer and Shelley's Border City Stretch but could not get other to tap out. Finally, Styles reversed the Shell Shock attempt to hit the Styles Clash to win and finalize his date with Shelley at Against All Odds!!!

ROAD TO AGAINST ALL ODDS

Week 5 May 2024

 

Xplosion opened with an advertisement of a blockbuster main event, it would be Nixon Newell and Trinity.  The opening match saw Renegade Twins put down yet another new tag team in All American Girls, Santana Garrett & Amber O'Neal extending their winning streak to 5-0. A step up in competition is not far away for them and soon we could see them battling other established tag teams.

Deonna Purrazzo was next to grace the ring with her presence as she announced the open challenge for this week. It was Maki Itoh who showed up and in an ultra competitive match in which Deonna was taken to her limits, the Virtuosa finally made Itoh tap out to the Fujiwara Armbar. She would then keep the Armbar locked in before her partner Yamashita rushed to the ring to make a save. Gail Kim made her way to the ring and announced that at Against All Odds, Deonna would defend her title against a legend of the industry!!!!!

The main event saw a high intensity matchup and while Trinity locked in her Starstruck, Newell showed her strength by lifting her into a side slam position and slamming her down. A couple of more knees to the face and the Glow Diva was rocked. Vulture Cuture Destroyer was hit and Nixon was heading towards Against All Odds with all the momentum she ever wanted. Rosa was surprisingly absent from all these proceedings, considering that she was the one who previously injured Newell.

 

 

Another BTI, another defense from Jake Something as he put down Deaner but just like every week, Cult of Doom walked out to inflict punishment but Something was ready for them as he hit Into the Void on Steve but the numbers game caught up to him but cavalry came in the form of Joe Hendry and Frankie Kazarian who rushed to the ring to save the champ.

 

 

 

Major Players (0-0) would enter the Tag Ranking Series with an impressive victory over joint toppers, Bollywood Boyz (2-0) while Team Canada (1-0) would join at the top as they would defeat Good Hands (0-2) who were down at the bottom along with Von Erich.

 

Steve Maclin would come out and proclaim that they had been defending their titles against all comers for the last 3 months and have set the bar high but they have been disappointed seeing no teams in TNA being gutsy enough to take this challenge.            Aces - N - Eights music hits and Lance Archer and Harry Smith appears, plastering a big grin on their face. They mention that Killer Elite Squad and Pillars are 1-1 in their contests so far so it's time to get the decider out and what better than to do it for the STRONG Openweight Tag titles!!! since they are clamouring for TNA teams so much.

Marella enters the fray and says this is a wonderful idea so at Against All Odds, this match will be official and next week, Maclin and Archer will face off with the winner getting to name the stipulations for the decider.

 

Jonathan Gresham arrived with the X-Division belt and then Marella announced his opponent, Myron Reed. This was a breath taking match with both competitors giving their all but in the end, Gresham won it by submitting Reed in the Octopus Stretch.

 

The main event was a massive brawl and spotfest with Beer Money and MCMG tagging together to take on Total Bullet Club and it was Roode who delivered the final punch when he and Storm hit their finisher, DWI on Chris Bey to win the match and gain momentum. The brawl never ended though as all eight members clobbered each other all over the arena.

Next week in the go home episode, we would see a triple contract signing for the first time ever in TNA TV history.

ROAD TO AGAINST ALL ODDS - GO HOME WEEK

---

 

Week 1 June 2024

 

After going 5-0, Renegade Twins go one better as they defeated an established name in Spitfire when they hit the Renegade Combo on Jody Threat to win. They were slowly coming up in the tag team ranks and as announced by Kim in the backstage segment with Gia Miller, the KO will also have their own tag and singles ranking series after Against All Odds and the Twins would definitely have a bigger chance to create an impact and move closer to contention.

Deonna Purrazzo would storm Gail Kim's office and create a fuss, demanding to know who her opponent will be. Kim threatens her that she would be thrown out of the building if she says even one word more and just like the entire world, she would be getting to know on the night of the event itself!! Deonna would be frustrated and she would take out her frustration on the hapless Marti Belle who thought it would be a good idea to challenge Deonna in this situation and bore the brunt of it.

The main event saw yet another huge match as Kamille matched Newell's defeat of Trinity by defeating Jordynne Grace in a wild brawl which ended when Kamille blocked the Fall From Grace attempt from Jordynne by putting her legs out and then hit the Russian Side Sweep before hitting a monstrous Spear to win. Post match, we saw Trinity and Nixon Newell run in and all four women indulging in high energy brawl as Xplosion went off the air ready for Against All Odds.

 

 

BTI was all about The Cult taking on the TNA faithfuls in Something, Kazarian and Hendry and after a match full of big moves and heavy assaults, it was The Herald who hit the Doom's Gate spear to Hendry to win the match and a shot at the Digital Media title, his first title shot in his TNA stay so far.

 

 

 

Subculture (1-0) would go joint top with Bollywood Boyz (2-1) and Team Canada (2-0) as they defeated Von Erichs (0-4), punching their ticket to the #1 contender's three way match for the tag team titles. Major Players who were already 1-0 up and would have an advantage going into the second month of the tag series, would taunt Von Erichs for spoiling their legacy after having lost 4 matches in a row. A scuffle ensues and Von Erichs challenge them to a tag match at Countdown to Against All Odds, announcing that they will get to know the real Von Erich legacy on that day.

Max Assault would end the month on a good note going 1-1 defeating the other teams that was dead last, Good Hands.

 

A hard hitting contest between Maclin and Archer wetted the appetite of the audience as both went brutal. A Blackout was foiled as Maclin turned things around with the Caught in Crosshairs before hitting the K.I.A for the win. He announces that the match between Killer Elite Squad and Pillars at Against All Odds would be a Steel Cage match, a definitive end to their rivalry which stood at 1-1 currently.

 

A backstage altercation was witnessed when Moose berated Myron Reed and Rascals for always being goofy and never amounting to part of any serious conversation in wrestling. "History will remember you as a bunch of pot smoking cretins who doesn't have any ounce of competitiveness in them and are just plain goofballs". This angers Reed who challenges him to a 3 vs 3 match next week with the winning team being able to participate in the tag ranking series and the losing team having to sit out the next month. Moose defeated Trey Miguel as part of the prep for their war next week.

 

The first ever triple contract signing took place in the main event. Beer Money and MCMG came first, followed by Total Bullet Club with ABC and KENTA shoving their titles in the faces of their opponents while Shelley just mocking Styles without any physical altercation. While the signing went without any hassles, it was the aftermath that peaked people's interests as Beer Money took ABC into the crowd and hit the DWI while MCMG and Styles & KENTA would give their all in the ring and both of them reversed the Cradle Shock and Shell Shock attempts together while hitting the GTS and Styles Clash in tandem!!!

Bullet Club was standing tall!! Will the scenes be repeated this Saturday!!!

COUNTDOWN TO AGAINST ALL ODDS

 

The Von Erichs vs Major Players

 

Major Players have been taunting Von Erichs for their continuing losses in the tag series and Von Erichs challenged them to this tag match. Cardona and Myers started the match strong as they exploited the poor form and lack of confidence of The Von Erichs by isolating Marshall and keeping him in their corner working on his bruised ribs and tearing the protective bandage that he was wearing.

A Radio Silence was dodged and Marshall lunged forward in a desperate move to tag in Ross. He cleared house and then hit a sick DDT to Myers on the floor before blocking another Radio Silence attempt from Cardona and hit the Iron Claw to Cardona to get the shock win.

 

 WINNER: The Von Erichs
Grade: 56

 

 

TNA Digital Media Title: Jake Something (c) vs The Herald

 

Something was on a mission, to destroy the Cult. While he had defeated PCO and Crazzy Steve in recent times, they were still around causing problems and were also part of the lumberjacks who awaited the two competitors whenever they would come out of the ring. Kazarian and Hendry were also part of the lumberjacks. 

Something started strong, delivering big clubbing blows to the masked leader and sending him out of the ring a couple of times. While he received blows from Kazarian, Hendry, and others, Herald was rolled back in pretty quickly both times. After a while, we saw a horde of white-robed druids coming out and they clashed with all the faces mainly Hendry and Kazarian and overpowered them before carrying their bodies outside. This startled Jake as he kept on sending Herald to outside but all lumberjacks now were on his support so he returned back every time unharmed. Jake got angry and went after Crazzy Steve himself but he didn't see Steve unveiling a fork on his trunks and stabbing Something multiple times on his arms and neck and Jake winced in pain. 

As he rolled back inside, a devastating Spear from The Herald meant we had a new champion and Cult of Doom had their 1st title to show.

 

 WINNER: The Herald (new champion)
Grade: 53

 

 

 

MAIN SHOW

 

TNA Knockouts World Title: Kamille (c) vs Nixon Newell

 

While Kamille did not get many chances of defending her title ever since she defeated Trinity at Rebellion and again beating her in the contractual rematch, it was mainly because of the feud going on between Nixon Newell and Ultimate X winner, Thunder Rosa. These two had been at each other's throats ever since the Ultimate X took place at Rebellion and while Newell was badly injured by Cult, she came back and took them out and challenged Rosa for her Ultimate X shot but Rosa kept denying her and eventually the GM of Women's division, Gail Kim gave Nixon her title shot.

The match started on an even note with both displaying their prowess and in the case of Newell, power as she lifted the much taller Kamille and hit a deadlift vertical suplex on her. A Vulture Culture Destroyer attempt was foiled though as Kamille rolled out and tried to create  distance but Nixon went after her and that was the mistake as Kamille used her environment to inflict damage to Newell, slamming her face and legs multiple times on the steel steps and the ring posts before hitting a brain buster on the ramp.

She was rolled back into the ring. breaking the referee's count which had reached to 9 and then Kamille hit the Spear to retain.

 

 WINNER: Kamille (defense #2)
Grade: 56

 

While she was celebrating her victory in the ring, a bevy of smoke started coming through the tunnels and filled up the whole arena as it signaled the arrival of

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THUNDER ROSA!!! accompanied by Su Yung and Holidead made their way to the ring and laughed out maniacally. She now had a clear passage towards Kamille and the KO World title with no other distractions. Can we see them face off at Slammiversary??

 

 

 

Jordynne Grace vs Trinity

 

The story between Trinity and Grace was a long one. They had their first match at Hard to Kill this year where Trinity overcame Jordynne in a very brutal match. While she lost, she hugged Trinity and they celebrated together. This led us to believe that we may have got a powerful duo in TNA which could change the landscape but after Trinity lost the title to Kamille, the cracks started to show. They tagged together and challenged Team 1 to 1 Million for their tag titles but once again they lost and although Trinity was the one getting pinned,  she put the entire blame on Grace and this also led to both women's downfall as their animosity towards each other led to Deonna capitalizing and pinning Grace at Destination X last month for her STRONG Women's title.  This was the last straw as we saw both of them raining punches on each other with Trinity throwing Grace off the stage and after many more such altercations, we were finally here.

 They avoided each other’s strikes in the opening minutes. Trinity hit some Speedball Kicks while Grace hit some hard overhand chops. Grace hit a powerslam for a near fall. Trinity hit a top-rope crossbody block. Grace hit a standing powerbomb, then she flipped Trinity overhead into a faceplant, and got a nearfall.

Grace nailed a clothesline and remained in charge. She nailed a dive through the ropes. On the floor, she hit a Jackhammer! In the ring, they traded hard slaps to the face, and Trinity hit an enzuigiri. She hit a Split-legged moonsault for a nearfall. Grace applied a Full Nelson. She nailed a Muscle Buster for a believable nearfall and then Trinity applied Starstruck but Grace escaped. 

Grace hit some forearm strikes. Trinity nailed a jumping knee to the chin, then a sit-out powerbomb for a near fall. She re-applied Starstruck submission hold but Grace powered up to her feet. Grace hit a German Suplex and a spinning back fist, then the Grace Driver finally shut out Trinity.

They were 1-1 now.

 

 WINNER: Jordynne Grace
Grade: 51

 

 

TNA Knockouts World Tag Team #1 Contender: Subculture vs Team Canada 2.0 vs Bollywood Boyz

 

All three teams were at the top of the ranking series having won 2 matches apiece. This was a pretty open match with all six getting the spotlight. Bailey and Young were most dominant in the closing stages of the match as Young hit a piledriver on Sihra but Andrews foiled the attempt.

A second attempt went bust due to miscommunication as Bailey hit the Ultima Weapon but on Young who was dragged down by Andrews and bore the brunt of the move.  A Stundog Millionaire on Bailey followed by Fall to Pieces on Young swung this in the favour of Subculture and they got the upset win.

 

WINNER: Subculture
Grade: 53

 

Ecstatic at their win, Subculture didn't wait and announced that next week they would challenge for the tag titles. The question was who would it be?

 

 

 

We were all waiting for Deonna's opponent and it turned out to be

 

 

 

 

 

 

BETH COPELAND!!!!! (f,k.a Beth Phoenix)

 

STRONG Women's Title: Deonna Purrazzo (c) vs Beth Copeland

 

The shock of seeing the artist formerly known as Beth Phoenix stunned Deonna as she was not expecting this and neither was the audience as the arena went gasping before the whole arena burst into cheers.

While Beth hit Deonna with powerbombs in the initial stages of the match and capitalized on the dazed Deonna with further stretching of limbs, Deonna finally came to their senses as she reversed a full Nelson bomb attempt with a jawbreaker and then hit a standing moonsault. 

A  Queen's Gambit followed but Beth kicked out at one. Angry, Deonna hit another Queen's Gambit and finally got the win. 

 

WINNER: Deonna Purrazzo (defense #8)
Grade: 57

 

 

STRONG Television Title: KENTA (c) vs Chris Sabin

 

The last time these two met was at Bound for Glory last year where Sabin successfully defended his X-Division title against KENTA. This time the tables had turned.  It was KENTA who was defending his Television title against Sabin.

Sabin took KENTA to the outside and dropped him face-first on the apron and hit a diving senton to take out KENTA on the floor. This flagged off a hot start. Sabin tossed KENTA back into the ring and hit a crossbody off the top rope to get the first nearfall of the match. KENTA tried to crawl out of the ring but Sabin grabbed him by his legs to stop him. KENTA bailed out of the ring so Sabin tried to hit a crossbody over the top rope but KENTA side-stepped it. KENTA rammed Sabin hard against the ring apron and threw him into the guard rail. The referee had counted to 8 but KENTA tossed Sabin back into the ring and then started abusing the fans. He had a little bit of blood coming from his mouth. KENTA hit a neckbreaker and covered for 2.

He tried repeat pins but Sabin kicked out every time. He slapped on a sleeper hold and Sabin was grounded against the mat. Sabin slowly made it to his feet and used a jawbreaker to break the hold. He ran the ropes but KENTA ducked and locked the sleeper in again. KENTA took Sabin down to the mat with the hold cinched in. Again, Sabin was able to get to his feet and break free with an elbow to the ribs.

The pace really picked up in the last few minutes. Sabin wanted the Cradle Shock but KENTA held on to the referee to avoid the move. KENTA rolled up Sabin and put his feet on the ropes but the referee spotted him. KENTA hit a DDT and went up to the top rope for a double stomp to the chest of Sabin. KENTA made the cover but Sabin barely got the shoulder up. KENTA called for the GTS but Sabin avoided it twice but KENTA clobbered him with palm strikes. Sabin fought back with a superkick. KENTA avoided the Cradle Shock again and then finally hit the GTS on his 3rd attempt to retain.

 

WINNER: KENTA (defense #4)
Grade: 40

 

 

STRONG Openweight Tag Title: The Pillars (c) vs Killer Elite Squad

 

While Alexander's injury that he sustained a month back was hampering his movement, Maclin took it upon himself to control the pace as he showed immense power to hang Smith and Archer in Tree of Woe positions in opposite turnbuckle and then hit the Caught in Crosshairs to both.

Alexander mustered enough courage to come back in the match but his back gave up when he attempted the C4 Spike on Archer and he took advantage as he sent Maclin out of the ring with a clothesline and he landed awkwardly on the apron injuring his shoulder severely. A Blackout on Alexander followed and we had new champions.

 

WINNER: Killer Elite Squad (new champion)
Grade: 43

 

 

TNA World Tag Team Title: ABC vs Beer Money

 

Roode and Austin get things going with Austin easily taking Roode down to the mat and Roode is quickly frustrated. Roode tries some power instead but eats a sick enzuigiri to the jaw. Instead, Roode takes him down with a snap mare and the neck snap before Storm comes in with a Russian leg sweep for two. Off to Bey who hits the corner ten punch before Ace and Bey hitting Storm with tandem kicks.

Everything breaks down for a bit with Beer Money picking Austin up and ramming him into Bey. Beer Money does their SHOUT OUR NAME bit before Roode backdrops Storm onto the entire ABC. Bey hits the jawbreaker before James come back with a Backstabber to put both Bey down.

Austin misses a charge into the corner and the hot tag brings in Roode. Storm kicks Bey from the apron and then Beer Money crotches Ace on top, setting up the DWI and it was hit. Beer Money had won their record 6th title after 8 years.

 

WINNER: Beer Money (new champion)

TNA World Heavyweight Title: Alex Shelley (c) vs AJ Styles

 

Styles dominate Shelley in the early going, hitting him with some nice jabs. Shelley goes outside and Styles follow up with a beautiful springboard shooting star press to the floor. Shelley hit Styles with the flatliner and goes for a top rope leg drop but Styles dodges it and then hits a twisting dive on him.

Shelley and Styles exchange blows now, and Shelley gets a near fall off a Blue Thunder Driver. Shelley hits Styles with a superplex and then hit the Shellshock.

Oh wow! Did not expect Beth Phoenix! 

Can't wait to see how AJ's reign plays out!

Love how the roster has turned out, TNA having Beer Money and AJ Styles as champions in 2024 is wild but feels so right just the same. So excited to see how it goes going forward, love what you're doing!

Well, the opportunity presented itself so i thought why not? But she is currently in declining phase and her performance is very poor so she is definitely not coming back, this was a one - off. Deonna's current arc is definitely interesting, at least in my head so expect her to tackle some more industry veterans in the months to come.

Ha thanks and welcome to the diary. What is TNA without nostalgia? Also, in long run if TNA needs to compete with the big two, they need big stars at the front and what better than Beer Money and AJ Styles at the top of the company that they made it to what it is now after so many years.

After a highly successful Against All Odds which saw AJ Styles and Beer Money return to the pinnacle of the company that they helped build, the fallout is expected to be intense. The first confirmed match for this week is, of course, the #1 contenders, Subculture challenging the champions Beer Money for the the Tag Team titles.

Steve Maclin has sustained a separated shoulder during his match against the Killer Elite Squad and initial reports suggest that he will miss Slammiversary. Although Josh Alexander is fully fit and he has shaken off his injury and if dirt sheets are to be believed, then Alexander and Maclin's tag run is coming to an end and it's time for both of them to go solo.

There have also been reports regarding number of female tag teams who have been signed for the KO tag division and one such team, Sea Stars would make their debut against Coven while another team is expected to make their appearance in a segment. 

 

 

This Week on TNA - Fallout week from Against All Odds

Beer Money takes on Subculture for their first defense of tag team titles

Sea Stars makes their debut against Coven

We hear from AJ Styles 

The Tag Ranking Series continue

Major Empire takes on Time Machine

[Wrestling Machine]

Kamille has all the tools to carry the division, visually I can't imagine Thunder Rosa defeating them but it could be a nice small underdog challenger storyline to follow.

That TV title match had such a low rating, what happened?

Nice to see AJ and Beer Money with the golds 😉 nostalgia feels good, huh?

Kamille vs Rosa will be good considering Cult of Doom's involvement. Sabin and Kenta did not had any chemistry at all. Feels weird considering their tremendous IRL at Bound for Glory last year. AJ and Beer Money as champs feel good 😄.

The Road to Slammiversary starts next and i was busy with office trips this week so, hopefully the next post will be up tomorrow.

ROAD TO SLAMMIVERSARY XX

---

 

Week 2 June 2024

 

Xplosion starts off with the debuting Team Sea Stars carving out a dominating victory over Coven when Ashley Vox hit the Fish on a Hook on Taylor Wilde to start off on a winning note.

Elsewhere, MK Ultra regrouped again and put down Fire-N-Flava with Masha hitting the Snow Plough on Kiera Hogan. After the match, they challenged SHAWties for their KO tag titles but before the champs could come out, 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's Mandy & Macey (f.k.a Mandy Rose & Lacey Evans in WWE)!!! 

They had started teaming up in indies and MLW as Fatal Attraction, capitalizing on their ultra-popular Only Fans page and now they were here in TNA. They arrived and challenged MK Ultra to a match claiming a fatal dose of attraction is needed in TNA to shake the KO division to it's core. We got a brawl which Mandy & Macey won before signaling that next week, it is Fatal Attraction's time.

SHAWties would have a response of their own to all the developments in the tag division when they defeated the undefeated so far Renegade Twins when Gisele Shaw hit a brutal Dani Mo to Robyn which busted her open to retain their title for the 3rd time. After the match, Shaw addresses the crowd that she is the Quintessential Diva so it doesn't matter if there is Ultra or Fatal, nobody beats Shaw so she is handing out a golden opportunity, the winner of MK Ultra vs Fatal Attraction next week would get a shot at her title at Slammiversary XX.

Kamille walked out to close the show. She is happy that the Nixon problem has been taken care of but she has a bigger headache right now, and that is the Ultimate X winner Thunder Rosa as she calls Rosa out and asks her when she will be cashing her shot because she is tired of waiting. Rosa comes out and answers that Slammiversary XX would be Kamille's date with the Doom as she would finally get the fortune of going face-to-face with the Mistress of Doom, Thunder Rosa. Kamille provokes her to come into the ring but she is ambushed from behind by the Wasteland War Party, Su Yung and Holidead before Yamashita and Itoh would clear the house and help Kamille out.

 

 

While Something had been grievously injured during his match at Against All Odds when Steve jabbed him with his bloody fork multiple times, it was Joe Hendry's turn to take revenge as he hit the Freak of Nature on Steve not once, not twice, but thrice before the rest of Cult make their way out and Hendry retreats.

 

 

The Impact on AXStv started with a bang as Total Bullet Club arrived to the ring in full celebration mode. With AJ Styles and KENTA holding their TNA World Championship and STRONG Television title and displaying them on their shoulders, Styles took charge and claimed that finally the real Bullet Club era has started and what you see in front are the premium top of the mountain collection of superstars. So, you better ditch all the phonies running around the industry today and bask in the glory of Total Bullet Club. This brings out Aces & Eights as Killer Elite Squad displays their own Openweight tag titles with Lawlor saying that they are not the only ones with gold, Aces also has one and if AJ is so confident, then he will have no problem in putting his belt on line against Lawlor. Santino Marella comes out and say that he has a brilliant idea, ABC and Tom Lawlor would face two opponents each of Marella's choosing on back-to-back weeks and if both are victorious, then they would get their title shots at Slammiversary.

Von Erichs new found confidence after their defeat of Major Players at Against All Odds and reaped good rewards as they put down another big team in Grizzled Young Veterans while Beer Money showed their tag team brilliance in defending their titles against the #1 contenders, Subculture which was the main event.

Nic Nemeth started his preparations for the X-Division title with a bang as he overcame the challenge of Black Taurus while Bollywood Boyz would continue their monthly winning start with yet another victory over Good Hands. Good Hands had now lost five ranking series matches and were permanently out of any title contention for the foreseeable future.

We also saw Major Empire taking on Time Machine and losing due to interference of the Rascals as Reed, Wentz and Trey hit Moose, Cardona and Myers with spray paints blinding them before Shelley hit the Shellshock on Myers to win. Moose was infuriated and he challenged Myron Reed to a match at Slammiversary.

Mandy is HUGE! Curious to know her star quality and sex appeal.

IRL I though she had all the tools to be a star, curious to see if this Mod is giving her justice

I don't have the game in front of me at this moment but both Lacey Evans and Mandy Rose have high sex appeal and have a pretty strong tag team going for them in this save so far.
