Pre-Show

=====

-Mark Henry & Tommy Dreamer were on the Pre Show panel. 

(1) Jordynne Grace

-Backstage Jordynne Grace promo has Grace discussing how no one wants Tessa in TNA and promises to send her back to obscurity.

(2) Ariana Grace, Ashonte Thee Adonis, Jake Something

-Liason between NXT & TNA comes out and says she facilitated the relationship between NXT & TNA. Mark Henry calls her delusional. Grace says a lot of her friends are here tonight, but won’t say who so as not to ruin the surprise. Ashonte Thee Adonis comes out and tells Grace she’s looking good today. Ashonte made fun of Dallas’ NFL team and called out anyone in TNA. Jake Something enters.

-Jake Something defeats Ashonte Thee Adonis. 

Comments: Disapointing to see Ashonte at TNA. But i guess he could use the work. he ain’t doing nothing in WWE. I loved how the crowd gave it to him… I never actually seen Ashonte wrestle. This match had some nice intensity to start. Nice drop kick…. Funny how the commentators mentioned that Karmen might be mad at Ashonte hitting on Ariana, as Karmen and Ashonte got serious this past Tuesday. It would be nice if they carried that over to NXT, but Im guessing theyll just pretend like nothing happened over there…. My review of the match: 1/2 👍. Solid work from Ashonte. Looked good in a losing effort. But this was a positive.

(3) Kazarian, Leon Slater, JDC

-JDC joins commentary to watch Leon Slater lose to Kazarian. Both Jdc & Kazarian have expressed interest in mentoring Slater. JDC tried to give Slater advice but that delayed Slater’s move and lead to a Kazarian victory.

(4) Joe Hendry, Nic Nemeth

-Henry & Nemeth cut separate backstage promos on their upcoming title match. 

(A) Rosemary, Masha

-Replay of Rosemary & Masha confessional scene from this past Thursday.
