⭐️Kayhan: Hannifan, "well that was awkward!" lmao! The part where they iced Ryan out of the team with the zoom call to Nic, was freakin spot on. A little unbeievable with how we got to see the camera’s perfectly well, but it still looked really good. And Hannifan with the line of the night. But no one likes Ryan, and his brother has to defend him because he’s his brother. that’s all really good. so 👍 from me… It’s kind of a weird match because they’re having a blowoff gimmick match but not all the top stars who have been involved with the System are in this. So it’s not a blowoff. It’s just a steel cage match. But ok, bragging rights.

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: I liked how they explained away their past feuds to come together for this one. The backstage promo set up the tag match pretty well. But overall I’d with for more for such a feud. Unenthusiastic Orange Cassidy 1/2👍 from me.
(3) Maclin Aims To Shut Up AJ Francis, But Unwanted Help From Eric Young & Crew Cost Him… Maclin Doesn’t Young’s Help

➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: I like AJ Francis & KC. Continued good work 👏… Also, the tension backstage with Young trying to convince Maclin he’s doing the right thing since he’s got the experience. It’s deep. I gotta say. I really like it, and im curious to see which way this goes.
(4) Savannah Takes Advantage of Xia’s Lack of Killer Instinct
Participants:
Details:
-Replay: Savannah Evans eliminating Brookside in battle royal a few weeks back.
-Match: Rosemary watched from the audience. Xia let her guard down when she thought Savannah was hurt, and got clocked!
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👍
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: The finish was a little clunky. Tough finish to pull off. Xia tried to turn around and look at the ref like she was worried about her opponent, but the way she took her attention COMPLETELY off Savannah was little weird and unrealistic. Even if her attention was only slightly off, that would have been good enough… But I will say that the shot Xia took to the back to end the match looked WICKED!

Participants:
Details:
-Video Package has Spitfire messing with Ash & Heather, giving them and alt makeover.
-Video Package has Spitfire continuing to torture Ash & Heather during a training session, but the Concierge makes the save, dressed a janitor, aiding in an attack as Elegance are fed up and go back on the deal!

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👍👍
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: I wonder what this means? can they just go back on the deal like this? But it seems certain these four are destined to continue this great feud 🤓… Ash & Heather dressed up by Spitfire is just too much 😆. They did a lot of work on these video packages.
(6) Santana Tricks Mustafa Ali Into Drinking His Piss
Participants:
Details:
-Match: Santana def. John Skyler
-Afterbirth: Santana thwarts Jason Hotch's post match attack and threatens to brand them with a hot iron!

A man comes out to give Santana a cup to pee in. Santana tells the guy off.
-Backstage, Santana is angry with Santino about the drug test. Santino says he doesn't like it but there's nothing he can do. Santino suggests to just do it and prove them wrong. Santana then sees Tasha verbally abusing a production crew member and gives him encouragement, and smiles at the camera as he takes the man's cup...
-Backstage, Tasha informs Mustafa that Santana passed his drug test. Mustafa took a sip of his coffee and seemed to be disgusted by it.

➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: I am a big proponent against drug testing in the work place, so this hit home to me. As someone who’d been drug tested tens of times to keep jobs 🙄. So i like that someone brought light to this ridiculousness. Like how many poor people have lost their jobs because of marijuana… AAAAANYWAYS, I still don’t get how Santana got his pee into Mustafa Ali’s coffee cup🤨🧐.
(7) Moose Leaves Oba Femi Laying Ahead of NXT Title Dream Match

🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: I will say that I liked the back and forth but the part that killed this for me, was when JDC offered System membership to security if they attacked Moose. Like, all them guys were little scrawny pipsqueek looking guys. AND THEN THEY DID IT! omg 🤦♂️. Ok. Ok. Wasn’t so fond of this whole thing, but I still think this is gonna be a great match.
(8) Fraxiom In Town To Watch The Hardyz’ Match Ahead of TNA Tag Title Dream Match
Participants:
Details:
-Backstage, Fraxiom cut promo on the Hardyz, saying they will take the torch and the TNA Tag Titles from the Hardyz this Tuesday.
-Tag Match: Hardyz' match with the Colons is ruined by the System. Fraxiom watched from monitor in the back.
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👊
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: Well this had more to do with the Hardyz feuding with the System than the tag title match. I didn’t really think they needed Fraxiom there just to watch from a monitor in the back. The rest of this I covered in Storyline #1 ⬆️.
(9) Masha Blindsides by Tessa During Exchange With Cora Jade… Lei Ying Lee Saves Masha From Beatdown
Participants:
Details:
-Masha cuts an in ring promo on her upcoming title shot. Cora enters and the two trade dialogue. Tessa blindsides Masha from behind. Cora joins the attack. Lei Ying Lee enters to run off Tessa & Cora.
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👍👍
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: Really like how Tessa & Cora haven’t said a word to each other but have bonded over their bitchiness😆. It’s a trip seeing a WWE talent work with Tessa… I think they’ve used Lei Ying Lee very well. She’ll obviously take the loss to Tessa but put up a great fight and look good doing it, and maybe even Tessa could cheat. But I see this match benefitting both of them. As for Cora, I hope the injury from NXT won’t prevent the match at the PPV.
(10) Ryan's Big Brother To Return in 8 Days...
Participants:
Details:
-Ryan Nemeth cuts promo on the entrance ramp to update us on how many days until Nic Nemeth's return.
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: Only one more of these😆. This guy’s kinda growing on me. If his role is to play the annoying relative that we all have to tolerate, then he’s hit the nail on the head.
