⭐️Kayhan: Kazarian, "like a man, im cashing this in" lol! finally, some good stuff from Kazarian here... I don't think Santino should be able to override someone cashing their title shot. Kaz did it first. I think this was a hatchet job on Kazarian. But I guess this was a flex, since no one likes Kaz, and he's been very disrespectful... As far as the match thats being booked, I like it. Even if Hendry is injured (im assuming its a storyline), Kaz can get in there and muddy this up, extending Hendry's title run, and in dramatic, heroic fashion since he's injured...

⭐️Kayhan: Cody Deaner. lmao... I was lovin this before Deaner even showed up. they set this up perfectly with that match he had with Moose a while back... I loved every minute of this...

⭐️Kayhan: Very interesting booking. This is not just some team Meta 4 came to squash, this is the most recent TNA tag champions, and basically TNA's best tag team in recent memory... so they really gave WWE something here...

➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: Tasha on commentary was interesting, as we haven't seen her fully engulfed in this character yet... Although Mustafa Ali's stable getting involved in this was in interesting surprise, my favorite part of this was the Leon Slater / Ryan Nemeth part...

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - ❤️
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: I will say, from the camera angle and the lighting, it was hard to see Mance Warner's bump off the stage, but Steph De Lander's reaction afterward was so good!... Santino's interaction with the two lovebirds was so funny. I love everything able this... "You cannot win a title in a DIVORCE!" lol!... as for the new title. interesting to have a new serious midcard title... they could use it... i guess it was always the X-Division title... the name of the title gives it a different dynamic as opposed to the Digital Media title, which i always saw as a sort of "TV" title...
