Knockouts tag-team action gets things started on this week’s show. Steelz and Grace kick things off for their respective teams. Grace settles into the early offensive lead and then the champ tags in and takes over.
Slamovich picks up where Grace left off, taking it to Steelz, after giving her some free chops and then blasting her out of the water with an overwhelming striking attack. She tags Grace back in and the two hit a big double-team side-slam for a two-count.
Grace goes for the Vader Bomb out of the corner, but Edwards knocks her off the ropes. Steelz follows up with a Back-Stabber to help shift the offensive momentum into her team’s favor. She pounds on Grace’s back with forearms and tags in Edwards. Edwards comes in, neck brace-and-all, and slaps a camel clutch on Grace.
Grace eventually escapes and after dumping Steelz, who was once again the legal woman, she tags in Slamovich. The Knockouts Champion goes on an offensive tear against Steelz, but when she goes for the cover, Edwards interferes to break it up.
Steelz hits the double-knees lung-blower on Slamovich. The champ quickly falls into her corner and makes the tag. Grace comes in looking for the Juggernaut Driver, but Steelz defends. Steelz hits a Crucifix Bomb for the two-count that Slamovich broke up just in time.
Edwards tags in and hops on Grace’s back with a sleeper hold. Grace makes the tag to Slamovich, who slaps a standing rear naked choke / sleeper hold on Edwards’ neck, with the neck brace-and-all, and quickly gets the win.
Winner: Jordynne Grace & Masha Slamovich via Submission.
Rehwoldt is livid at the gall of Slamovich to target Edwards’ poor neck. Neck health awareness, folks. After the match, the show heads into a commercial break.

When the show returns, footage is shown of Savannah Evans’ return last week and attack of Lei Ying Lee. Backstage, Gia Miller asks Evans about this. She says she got tired of sitting home and watching people get opportunities. She’s back now to take her own. And she’s done talking to Gia, too.

It’s time for No DQ action in the Knockouts division. The bell sounds and Choo has her loaded pillow, while Rosemary has her cane. Weapons are legal in this one. Choo beats down Rosemary in the corner and hits a big leaping elbow drop for an early two-count.
Choo hits a running kick to the grill of Rosemary in the corner as Hannifan does a live ad-read for the Chris Bey auction this Friday. Rosemary is hung in a tree of woe laying over the ropes above the ring apron. Choo hits a dropkick to send her down to the floor at ringside — the hard way.
As Rosemary recovers outside the ring, inside the ring Choo grabs her giant pillow and heads back. When she does, Rosemary reaches under the ropes from the floor and yanks it, pulling Choo face-first into the steel ring post. Rosemary brings Choo over to the commentary desk and chokes her with a cord.
Some cool camera angles are shown with a dashboard-type cam being used as she chokes the life out of her and screams like a banshee. Rosemary uses her cane in a leaning-back bridge to choke Choo. Choo ends up escaping. The two each hold the others’ hair and land a Rocky Balboa-Apollo Creed double knockout shot like in II. Nowhere near as cinematic, of course.
In what looks to be the softest pillow ever, and the camera shot fully captures that, Choo bashes away at Rosemary with the fluffy vengeance as the commentators try to sell it like something violent. As awful as it sounds. Choo follows that dastardly deed up with a top-rope high spot for a close two-count.
Rosemary takes over and gets her cane. She takes a big swing and then locks Choo in a full nelson or mandible claw with it. Choo bites her way out. Rosemary hits her finisher seconds later and uses the cane for good measure to get the win.
Winner: Rosemary via Pinfall.

TNA Impact 6/15/2024
TNA X-Division Championship Dark Match
Mike Santana vs. Mustafa Ali (c)
When the show returns, we are treated to a “From The Vault” match, likely replacing the Chris Bey match that ended in scary fashion in the post-Bound For Glory 2024 taping.
The bout is Mike Santana going one-on-one with the at-the-time TNA X-Division Champion Mustafa Ali from June 15, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois. After a few minutes of action, the show heads into an abrupt mid-match commercial break.
As the show returns from the break, it immediately captures the finish of the bout, which saw Campaign Singh hit the ring, prompting a disqualification ruling.
Winner: Mike Santana via Disqualification.
TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella overrules the ruling, making an impromptu tag bout with Santana and Joe Hendry against Ali and Singh.

Steve Maclin is shown talking directly into the camera, sending a message to Josh Alexander. He brings up having his hands zip-tied and beaten, but makes it clear he didn’t really lose to “The Walking Weapon.” He assures them that things aren’t over with them yet.

From there, Zachary Wentz and Trey Miguel are shown talking amongst themselves backstage about how there’s always another obstacle in front of them.
They ultimately decide that it’s all about the climb anyways, and they’re ready to do so again. They literally climb up the set behind them as the segment wraps up and the show heads into another commercial break.

When the show returns, they are back in their spot, complete with the fake canned studio audience. They address the empty chair where Wes Lee used to sit. A couple of sex and weed jokes later, things wrap up.
Video: Ryan Nemeth, Nic Nemeth, Joe Hendry, Santino Marella, Tommy Dreamer
We then shoot to a digital exclusive that shows Nic Nemeth and Ryan Nemeth arguing and bickering backstage after what happened with Joe Hendry. Hendry comes in and Ryan yells at him to admit what he did. Santino Marella keeps everyone apart, as does Tommy Dreamer, who enters the picture.
Santino tells Hendry he lost and has to start again from the bottom. Hendry decides Ryan is as low to the bottom as things get and wants to fight him. Nic and his brother leave.
On Stage: Joe Hendry

Back inside the Impact Zone, Hendry comes out and cuts his entrance short.
Hendry says it’s usually time to talk about Joe Hendry, but now it’s time to talk about Nic’s brother, Ryan Nemeth. The fans all react with an “Uht-Oh!” and laughter as Hendry talks about researching his career. He mentions he put together another custom music video.
He wants to celebrate all of the amazing accolades achieved by Ryan Nemeth. He says there’s a lot to get through. He says he spoke to the network and if they need to go long to cover it all, they can. “The Ryan Nemeth Story” is then shown.
“He’s Nic Nemeth’s brother …the end!” That was the entire thing. Fans chant “One more time! One more time!” Hendry says they’ll add another chapter because Ryan Nemeth will have to face Joe Hendry next week on Impact.

Mike Santana is shown backstage, when First Class duo AJ Francis and KC Navarro walk up to him. Francis, looking like Suge Knight in the 1990s, literally quotes his Source Awards speech dissing Puff Daddy about “being all on the records, all in the videos ..dancing..” and essentially offers Santana to join them.
Santana tells them he just went through The System by himself. Why would he need “someone like you” to help? He walks off. Francis tells Navarro he’s gonna need him to handle Santana. Navarro doesn’t seem thrilled. The show heads into another commercial break on that note.

When the show returns, George Iceman makes his way out inside the Impact Zone. He handles the formal ring introduction for his newest protégé, Heather By Elegance. Out she comes accompanied by Ash By Elegance for the next match of the show.
After she settles in the ring, the Spitfire theme hits and out comes the TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Champions Jody Threat and Dani Luna. Threat settles in the ring and while finishing her entrance, she is attacked from behind by Heather.
The bell sounds and the two get after it, with Heather taking the early offensive lead. Threat fights back and hits a series of repeated clotheslines to Heather in the corner. Hannifan reads another live ad for the Chris Bey auction.
Ash grabs Threat from ringside, leading to Heather hitting a tornado DDT for a close two-count. Heather continues to dominate for a few minutes and then Threat fires up for a comeback. Ash hops on the ring apron, but Luna trips her up.
Heather comes off the top, but is caught by Threat and hoisted up for her finisher. Threat gets the win.
Winner: Jody Threat via Pinfall.

Moose goes for his Go To Hell spot early on, but Bailey avoids it and Moose crashes and burns on the floor at ringside. Bailey goes out after him. Moose tries fighting back but Bailey moves and Moose lands a hard chop on the steel ring post. Moments later, the same thing happens. Ouch.
They continue to brawl outside of the ring and the reverse happens to Bailey, as the barefoot X-Division Champion goes for a big kick, but Moose moves and Bailey’s foot blasts the steel ring steps. Moose hoists Bailey up and slams him onto the ring apron as the show heads into a mid-match commercial break.
When the show returns, Moose is seen sweeping Bailey’s legs out from under him in the ring. So much so that Bailey does a full flip and is folded in half upon landing. Moose continues to control the offense, hitting an enormous buckle bomb on the X-Division Champion after catching him in mid-air.
Bailey starts to mount some offense, but upon going for a standing shooting star press, Moose moves and takes back over again. Bailey surprises him with a quick roll-up attempt, but again Moose kicks out and quickly resumes kicking ass again in one-sided fashion.
As Bailey starts to show signs of life and begins fighting back into competitive form, he starts taking over as the show heads into a second mid-match commercial break as our main event title tilt continues. When the show returns, Bailey is thrown to the floor in violent fashion.
Bailey gets up selling his leg. Back in the ring, Bailey hits an insane Poisonrana off the ropes to Moose. Moose took a bit of a rough landing, too. He hits the Ultimo Weapon off the ropes after that for a super close two-count. Moose hits a spear that turns Bailey inside-out.
On the floor, Moose charges at Bailey and blasts him with another vicious spear that nearly halves-him, Walk Hard-style. “I’ve been halved!” Back in the ring, Moose charges for a third one, but sprints right into a roll-up from Bailey.
Moose kicks out. Moose hits Bailey with a spear in mid-air. He stalks him for a fourth. He hits it. He immediately covers him. Moose is the new TNA X-Division Champion.
Winner: Moose via Pinfall to become the new TNA X-Division Champion.
After the match, Trent Seven came to the ring to try and cheer up his Speedball Mountain partner. He got the crowd to rally behind him but then blasted him with a low-blow for no apparent reason.
He followed up with a Seven-Star Lariat to a ton of heat from the fans inside the Impact Zone. He chokes him out with a towel. He throws him out to the floor like yesterday’s garbage to end the show on a double-somber note.
