⭐️Kayhan: A little confused last week by Gresham, Maclin & Young attacking the System last week but I supposed it’s for tag title picture supremacy. I’ll give this some credit for Young and Maclins promo after Gresham got taken out. Their own form of justice. Nice…

⭐️Kayhan: Not too much Ryan Nemeth talking on this episode, so that was nice for us. Overall, wasnt too enthralled by this tag match or seeing Ryan Nemeth take the pin. I’m ready for Genesis here. I’m giving a half 👍 for Joe Hendrys hand wave with attitude at Nic Nemeth at the end. Let’s do this!
(3) Savannah Evans, Xia Brookside, Lei Ying Lee
-Savannah Evans comes out to face a mystery opponent. Xia Brookside comes out and claims she was on her way to defeating Savannah in a 3-Way before Savannah injured her. She then introduces Lei Ying Lee as Evans' opponent.

⭐️Kayhan: Well nice callback! I was seriously waiting for this to come back around. I had faith in TNA that they would complete the story. Coherent storytelling. Nice! Shows the state of wrestling when Im ecstatic for just a coherent story that they actually continue and not forget about.
(4) Jordynne Grace, Tessa Blanchard
-Jordynne Grace interrupts a backstage report to call out Tessa Blanchard to the ring. She calls Tessa a B-TCH!
-Later, Grace cuts a promo in the ring calling out Tessa, saying if Tessa really thinks it's her division, Tessa is going to have to go through her. Tessa enters and they brawl for a minute until officials enter to intervene. The two fought hard to get through security.

⭐️Kayhan: Pretty nice looking pull apart. Sometimes i feel like Tessa is trying to look so ferocious that she forgets to sell. But the intensity is great…. You see, I knew it would be worth it to bring Tessa back, so we can get some stuff like this!
(5) Santana, Northern Armory
-Santana attempts to go through the Northern Armory gauntlet. Santana defeats Judas Icarus by pinfall... Santana then defeats Travis Williams by pinfall... Josh Alexander comes out for the final match but the rest of the Northern Armory immediately enter to cause DQ. Santana wins.

➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: Crowd chanting, "You are stupid" at Josh Alexander😆… Besides that, Santana got the through the gauntlet. So I guess he’s done with tne Northern Armory. But hell No! this is gonna be a war. They left his ass laying! Santanas not gonna die easy until he gets these guys back.
(6) The Personal Concierge
-The Personal Concierge cuts a backstage promo claiming her will do something no one has ever done before. Since they guarantee winning tag title, they will do Pre Launch Championship Celebration By Elegance next week.

➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: Hmm🤔. A pre championship celebration party. That IS unique. I’ll give em that. I’ll give it a half thumbs up for the idea.
(7) Rosemary, Raven
-Rosemary cuts a backstage promo on Masha Slamovich. Says she sees cracks in Masha. Raven appears and questions whether Rosemary is ready, saying its been 8 years since Rosemary's held gold. Rosemary pulls a knife on Raven and holds it to his throat. Raven appears to smile as he suggests a Raven's Clockwork Orange Match so Rosemary can do all the depravity she wants. Rosemary likes the idea.

⭐️Kayhan: 😄. Raven! Dude. that was pretty damn cool. Totally unfazed by a knife to his throat. Have these 2 been friends for a while? Missed some TNA but I love that these 2 hang out.
(8) The Good Hands
-John Skyler of Good Hands cuts a promo heading to the ring, running down the audience for being Rascalz fans, and makes fun of their sports teams. The Rascals defeat the Good Hands in tag team match.
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2 👍
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: Coherant booking. Getting wins for your big names. The Good Hands are a decent name to beat. Not exactly jobbers. Served a purpose. 1/2 👍
(9) Eric Young, Steve Maclin, First Class
-First Class interrupt Maclin & Young's promo to put them down for "crying" about the System. After Maclin & Young call out First Class for joking around after losing their World Title Match, First Class mention that they also are out for tag team gold, and say they will talk to Santino about facing Maclin & Young to climb the tag team ladder...
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2 👍
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: Getting that tag title over! Nice. Not bad booking. Cool that there are several teams going for it. AJ Francis deflected off his loss to Nic Nemeth real well here.
(10) Alisha, Moose, Andrew Everett
-Alisha & Moose come out to cut a promo boasting about being the best X-Division champion ever. Moose then throws the X-Division title belt out of the ring, saying he will debut a new belt at Genesis, and that the old belt was the ugliest belt hed ever seen. Andrew Everett enters and says the disrespect Moose is showing is the reason Moose has no business in the X-Division, that it's the high flyers like him who fight for an opportunity at that belt. Moose scratches his head because "he's trying to figure out who the hell" he is. Everett tells Moose he is not an X-Division wrestler and Moose attacks Everett. He then says Everett has earned an X-Division Title Match right now, and calls for a ref! Ace Austin watches on from a monitor in the back. Everett got a shot in but Moose pretty much demolishes Everett and steps on his chest for the win...

➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: The fan who yelled out, "Oh hell nah!" when Moose claimed to be the best X-Division champion. lmao!… Another impromptu X-Division title shot Moose gives out. He’s really putting his money where his mouth is with this title reign. It’s been great! And i disagree with all the wrestlers who say Moose is not an X-Division wrestler. This guy is crazy athletic.
(12) Santino, Sami Callihan
-Sami Callihan finds Santino backstage and tells Santino he feels him and PCO have been shafted for a World Title Match and wants next. Santino instead offers them to face the Hardyz next week for a chance to enter the tag title match at Genesis and make it a 3-Way. Callihan likes the idea...
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👎
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: This I didnt like. Im all for Sami & PCO having next but I don’t wanna see them getting into this Rascalz/Hardyz match. I suppose it should be a Hardyz win next week to prevent that. We need to see that SuperMatch! Love Sami & PCO. But not this time.
