Video: Last Week’s Show Recap

The usual video package recapping the previous week’s show airs to get things started.

In-Ring: “All Ego” Ethan Page, Frankie Kazarian, Santino Marella

“Well, well, well …look who’s back, baby!” He says he’s back in TNA Wrestling, the company where he truly found out who he was. It’s where he found his ego. It’s where he became “All Ego” Ethan Page.

He cut his teeth here and he’s pretty sure he still holds the record for longest reigning tag-team champion in company history. He’s not here to talk about the past. He wants to focus on the future.

He mentions TNA Rebellion 2025, where he will take on Frankie Kazarian and TNA World Champion Joe Hendry, with the title on-the-line. In Los Angeles, at TNA Rebellion 2025, it will be Ethan Page who finally becomes TNA World Champion.

Fans boo. Page responds, “Boo? BOO?!” He asks if the crowd thinks he can’t beat Joe Hendry. They yell back, “No!” He says he already knows what he needs to about Hendry.

He’s got a catchy song, he’s always wearing a tight shirt, he’s got a Slim Shady haircut. He says he will win the TNA World Championship and bring it back with him to WWE NXT.

Frankie Kazarian’s theme hits and out he comes with his Call Your Shot gauntlet trophy. Kazarian and Page exchange insults until TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella cuts them off.

The TNA shot-caller comes out and tells Kazarian and Page that Joe Hendry will be out here later tonight and he will be talking about something that will affect the both of them.

Backstage: Steve Maclin, The Northern Armory

After the opening segment wraps up, the show settles backstage where Gia Miller is standing by with Steve Maclin. He talks about his three-way match in the TNA International Championship tournament tonight.

He says he knows The System will be lurking, but he doesn’t need The Armory or anyone watching his back. Just as he says that, Eric Young and The Northern Armory interrupt him.

Young tells Maclin he knows The System will get involved and it will be bad. He says whether Maclin wants it or not, they will be watching and will have his back.

Maclin tells him he’s gonna tell them one last time, he doesn’t want their help. He warns them to stay out of his business and walks off. The show heads into a commercial break.

Mustafa Ali vs. Ace Austin

The show returns inside the Impact Zone to the familiar sounds of Mustafa Ali’s theme music. Out he comes along with The Great Hands and Tasha Steelz.

He settles inside the ring for the first match of the evening. Next, the entrance tune for his opponent, Ace Austin, plays to bring out the ABC member. He takes to the ring and the bell sounds.

Ali immediately charges across the ring and hits a wild kick that flattens Austin, thanks to an assist in the form of a distraction by The Great Hands at ringside.

After being on the defensive end for the first couple of minutes, Austin fires back up on offense. He hits a click-click-boom dropkick. Austin drives Ali face-first into the canvas for a two-count.

Once again The Great Hands provide a distraction at ringside. Ali rolls up Austin, but Austin kicks out and sends Ali out to the floor. Ali is caught by The Great Hands. Austin runs and dives and takes out all three.

Steelz and Austin go face-to-face. John Skyler tries to attack Austin from behind, but Austin moves and decks him. Jason Hotch tries next, but Austin avoids him as well. Ali lays out Austin with a steel chair.

The referee saw Ali’s chair shot and immediately calls for the bell.

Winner: Ace Austin via Disqualification.

The Great Hands hit their double-team finisher — The Favor. Ali gives orders to Skyler and Hotch. They hold his arms on the floor while his chin is laying on the bottom turnbuckle.

Steelz hands Ali a steel chair. He takes a step back and gets ready to wind up with the chair, when he slowly starts to realize Mike Santana, without music or any crowd reaction, has emerged at ringside.

Ali tries to turn in mid-motion and sneak in a chair shot at Santana as he approached the ring apron, but Santana avoided it. Ali high-tails it out of there with The Great Hands and Steelz. Santana’s theme hits and he poses on the ropes. The show heads to another commercial break.

Parking Lot: Mustafa Ali, The Cabinet, Mike Santana

When the show returns, Ali, Skyler, Hotch and Steelz are scurrying through the backstage area, trying to get out of there. They make it to the parking lot and reach their car. They quickly get in and tell their driver to hit it. The driver turns to reveal he is actually Santana. “Where we going?!” He says, before beginning his attack.

In-Ring: The System, Cody Deaner

Back inside the Impact Zone, the catchy-tune for Moose hits the house speakers, and out comes the TNA X-Division Champion, accompanied by the other members of The System. He settles in the ring for the next match of the evening.

Moose’s music dies down and the entrance music for his opponent hits. Out comes Cody Deaner. He begins cutting a promo as he enters the ring, only to be cut off by JDC. JDC taunts him, asking when he’s won a match in TNA.

JDC offers Deaner a spot in The System. Not as a member, but as the custodian or janitor of the group. He says he can carry their bags and clean up after them. He tells Deaner he doesn’t have many options. “You need to trust in The System, okay?”

Deaner says maybe he should think about his kids. He says it’s not up to him, however, but rather the fans. He asks the fans if he should be The System’s lackey. He decides against it and claims he can beat Moose for the TNA X-Division Championship.

Moose asks Deaner what makes him think he deserves a TNA X-Division Championship shot? He says he’s a nice guy and in a giving mood. He tells Deaner if he can last two minutes in the ring with him right now, he will give him a TNA X-Division Championship match.

Deaner asks the fans if they think he can last two minutes. “Do you think I can last two minutes?!” he says in excited fashion. Out of context that just sounds horrible. The people have spoken, and the two-minute challenge is underway.

2-Minute Time Limit Match
Moose vs. Cody Deaner

The bell sounds and a two-minute clock appears on the screen. Moose immediately batters Deaner down to the mat. He hoists him up and hits a Last Ride-style powerbomb with authority. Moose then starts to taunt him and take his time, playing with his food.

He hoists Deaner up and hits another massive powerbomb. He covers him but pulls Deaner off the canvas at the count of two. Moose goes for a spear, but Deaner rolls out to the floor. Moose chases after him. Deaner rolls in the ring. Moose does as well.

Deaner rolls right back out. Deaner continues to try and avoid Moose to eat away at the clock. The fans count down from ten and the bell sounds. Deaner survived two minutes, and thus, this match continues and is now for the TNA X-Division Championship.

Winner: Cody Deaner via Time Limit.

TNA X-Division Championship

Seconds later, Moose spears Deaner and pins him.

Winner: Moose via Pinfall to retain the TNA X-Division Championship.

After the match, The System gang up and look to deliver a post-match beatdown to Deaner. Before they can, however, The Rascalz’ duo of Zachary Wentz and Trey Miguel hit the ring with bats to make the save.

The System (Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers vs. The Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz)

The show heads to another commercial, with The Rascalz vs. JDC and Brian Myers in tag-team action when the show returns.

As the show returns, all four men are in the ring and ready to roll. The bell sounds to get things started, and now it’s JDC and Myers’ turns to prove themselves to Eddie Edwards, like each member of The System must do tonight. Moose did in the previous bout.

We see some good fast-paced action in the opening moments, and then JDC and Myers start to settle into the offensive lead. After they enjoy a few minutes in control, Wentz and Miguel begin to fight from underneath back into competitive form.

Wentz and Miguel start to pick up the pace and get the crowd involved in the process. Just as it looked like they were rounding third on their way home, The System pull some cheap heel tactics.

We see an illegal assist during a pin that secured them the three-count.

Winner: The System via Pinfall.

They quickly roll out to the floor and retreat as the show heads into another commercial break.

TNA International Championship Tournament Qualifying Three-way Match
AJ Francis vs. Mance Warner vs. Sami Callihan

When the show returns, the ring entrances begin for the next match of the evening, which is the opening bout of the tournament to crown the inaugural TNA International Champion.

First Class’ AJ Francis comes out accompanied by KC Navarro. Out next is Mance Warner, who comes to the ring with his new fiancée’, Steph De Lander. Finally, Sami Callihan makes his way out.

The bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running. Almost immediately it is clear the three will be leaning on the rule of anything goes in a three-way match. Navarro gets involved, providing an assist that helps Francis settle into the early lead.

As the action continues, De Lander begins playing a big role at ringside in favor of Warner. Callihan cuts off Warner’s momentum. He grabs a flyer and uses it to give Warner a paper cut in between his fingers.

A chair dual between Callihan and Warner leaves them both worse for wears, allowing Francis to finish things off with the TFL for the pinfall victory.

Winner: AJ Francis via Pinfall.

With the win, Francis advances in the TNA International Championship Tournament. The tourney will wrap up at TNA Unbreakable 2025 next Thursday. After the match wraps up, the show heads into another commercial break.

Backstage: Sami Callihan, Santino Marella

When the show returns, Sami Callihan is in his dressing room when a fired up Santino Marella comes in asking him, “What the hell was that?”

He talks about how violent Callihan and Warner got moments ago during the TNA International Championship Tournament match. Callihan says this ain’t a joke. He wants to finish things once and for all with Warner.

Santino asks Callihan what it is going to take to make that happen. Callihan demands a Barbed Wire Massacre bout with Warner at TNA Unbreakable 2025. Santino gives it the green light. It’s official.

Ryan Nemeth vs. Leon Slater

Back inside the Impact Zone, Leon Slater and Ryan Nemeth make their respective ring walks. The bell then sounds to get the next match of the evening officially off-and-running.

Slater gets off to an impressive start, only for Nemeth to shift the offensive momentum into his favor. Slater doesn’t stay on the defensive for long, however, as he soon begins taking back over.

Slater hits his Twist of Slate homage to The Hardys, and then heads to the top-rope. With the crowd roaring, the young talented TNA prospect hits his 450 swanton bomb for the pinfall victory. The show heads into anther commercial break.

Winner: Leon Slater via Pinfall.

Video: TNA Unbreakable 2005 – AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels

When the show returns, we see a flashback segment with highlights of the classic AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels triple-threat match from the original TNA Unbreakable event.

Video: Mike Santana, John Skyler

We shoot to a cinematic experience-style segment, where Mike Santana has John Skyler of The Great Hands tied up in a bunker of some sort. Skyler cries and begs as Santana tells him Ali doesn’t care about him.

He says Ali took one from him, and now he’s gonna do the same to Ali. He’s gonna take his people out one at a time. He stands up with a shovel and winds up to bash Skyler’s head in.

As Skyler flinches and cries some more, Santana stops in mid-swing and sends one final warning to Skyler about Ali.

Eddie Edwards vs. Steve Maclin

Inside the Impact Zone, the theme for The System hits to bring out Eddie Edwards. He makes his way to the ring accompanied by Alisha Edwards. It’s now his own turn to prove himself.

His music dies down and the familiar sounds of his opponent’s theme plays to bring out “Bulletproof” Steve Maclin. The bell sounds to get things underway.

Maclin starts off strong, but a distraction from Alisha at ringside early into the bout allows Edwards to shift the offensive momentum into his favor.

Maclin takes over again, only for outside interference to once again lead to Edwards in the offensive driver’s seat. The show heads into a mid-match commercial break as Edwards continues to add to his lead.

As soon as the show returns, Edwards lands a vicious chop that echoes throughout the Impact Zone and elicits audible gasps from the crowd. Edwards with a snap-mare to bring Maclin to the mat.

He picks him back up and hits a short-arm clothesline to put him back to the mat. Maclin finally blasts Edwards and decks him. Both guys are down and the fans rally behind Maclin.

They get up and trade shots back-and-forth in the middle of the ring. Maclin comes off the ropes with a Thesz Press and a barrage of follow-up punches on the ground. Maclin with a big slam for a close two-count.

Yet again Alisha gets involved from ringside, and this leads to Edwards to taking back over on offense. He takes too long while climbing to the top-rope, however, and Maclin cuts him off. Maclin climbs up after him but Edwards knocks him off.

Maclin climbs right back up and he hoists Edwards up for a Super-Olympic Slam. Maclin then hangs Edwards upside down in the tree of woe in the opposing corner.

He charges at him and hits a spear to knock him down. The System come out to ringside. They pass Edwards The System ring. Eric Young and The Northern Armory come out.

Young stops Judas and Williams from helping Maclin. Edwards drills Maclin with The System ring and then follows up with the Boston Knee Party for the pinfall victory. The show heads to another commercial break.
