⭐️Kayhan: TNA is a great place for experienced midcard WWE talent that didn’t quite make it. But at least they’re good in the ring. I’m not super excited for any of these guys. Never was big on Elias. Haven’t seen him since WWE. I would have hoped he’d have moved on to something else by now. But ok. More talent. Hopefully more stories. I’ll hold my opinion on the Colons til i see more of them.

⭐️Kayhan: I gotta admit, Oba’s run in was ridiculous with the music playing. But it was cool to see. I’m still giving a 👍 based on the System crashing the match to help JDC. Liked that. I do wonder, though, why the Hardyz weren’t there to watch Leon’s back?…

⭐️Kayhan: The Rascalz winning clean was nice. TNA guys going over WWE guys. Woot woot 🙌! I liked Wes Lee’s promo putting down Ace for teaming with the Rascalz after all the history. Wes Lee is doing solid work.

⭐️Kayhan: Rough night for Lei Ying Lee even though she won. I am fine with the booking here. Rosemary can take a loss and this helps Lee…. I also see potential in Tessa vs Lei Ying.

➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: Lots going on here. Great job accentuating Tessa’s bitchiness with the medic… Tessa’s exchange with the crowd is pretty nuclear…. I was excited to see another scene between Santino & Tessa after last week… And the surprise exchange with Cora was VERYY interesting. They’re very similar! But I very much liked those two crossing paths. It would be a nice idea for them to work together, maybe they can be a team!
