Keep Refreshing For The Latest Results

Hello, everyone and welcome to our live TNA Impact coverage on 411! I’m Jeremy Thomas, taking over as Himanshu is having some issues today. There’s a lot to cover and you all know what’s going on tonight, so let’s get to it.

As a reminder, the GoFundMe for Larry’s daughters is still active and if you can make a donation, that would be awesome. Thank you so much to everyone who’s done so thus far.

* We kick off with a recap of the events from Under Siege with The System winning big, Mustafa Ali retaining the X-Division Title and more.

* We kick off with The System’s Championship Celebration, complete with cheerleaders. They come out in snazzy outfits and their titles, and Myers gets on the mic to say to feast your eyes on the greatest faction in TNA history with each and every member a champion. But we shouldn’t be surprised because they’ve been winning their whole careers. He says The System runs on gold and is an absolute dynasty.

Moose says he’s played on a lot of teams, and they are the greatest team of all time. They’re not the ’96 Bulls, they’re greater then them and you can ask Nic Nemeth and Matt Hardy. They ran them off the court just like they were Croatia vs. the Dream Team.

Eddie says they walked into Under Siege as champions, but Alisha finally realized her potential and became a world champion. Even in one of the most celebrated divisions in the industry, she stands above them all. And you may be looking at the greatest TNA Knockout of all time.

Alisha says Eddie is the sweetest and she made a video for them. The video plays celebrating The System, with the group watching and smiling — and it turns into Broken Matt’s theme! Matt is out here in and he comes to the ring!

Matt says congratulations; they won the battle at Under Siege but the war is far from over. He says nothing will stop him from getting the Championship of the World and he now understands the System better and what he must do to make them OBSOLETE! So what he can tell Moose is, this is not over. It’s not the end, merely the beginning. And Moose has had a number of accolades in life, but he’d love to see the Super Bowl ring.

Alisha says no one can understand Matt’s accent, and Matt says “Silence, Snow Witch!” She had better be careful not to get on Queen Rebecca’s radar. Moose says there’s four of them but one of him. Matt says he doesn’t like their odds and it becomes a brawl, with the group overpowering him. They beat him in the corner and wrap the chair around his head — and Ryan Nemeth is here! He attacks with a kendo stick and they toss The System from the ring. Everyone says Delete, even the cheerleaders!

* We get a recap of the end of the X-Division Title, with Mustafa Ali beating Ace Austin. Gia Miller asks ABC about their match tonight against Speedball Mountain with the winning team facing each other to get Ali’s next title defense. Ace denies there will be any tension between them, and Bey says that there’s no resentment between them. They’re on the same book and put their Tag Team Title rematch on the backburner so Ace could win the Title Shot. Ace says he’d be champion if someone was watching his back at Under Siege and Bey asks what he’s saying. Ace says Santino is giving them another chance at the title and they want it, so they’ll operate like the two-time Tag Team Champions they are and they’ll worry about what happens after that next.

* The System is backstage and they aren’t happy, approaching Santino. They complain that this is an unsafe work environment and Moose tells him to do his damn job. Santino says he’s going to make a huge announcement that will help them get their revenge but he has one more piece. Moose says that isn’t how the System works but Santino walks off.

First Class vs. FBI

Swann starts off against Ray Jaz and they lock up, Ray with a wristlock and a suplex to Swann. SPlash in the corner, Clayton tags in and runs over Swann. Half and half suplex to Swann and he gets Swann on his shoulder, but a rake to the eyes behind the ref’s back turns it around. Francis tags in and Clayton gets thrown into him. Francis with a choke against the middle rope and Swann with a cheap shot behind the ref’s back. They repeat the process, AJ puts Clayton in the corner but misses a splash.

Clayton tries to make the tag, AJ stops him and puts him in the corner, he comes out and both men go down hard. Ray with the hot tag, he takes it to Swann and hits a spinning heel kick followed by a big somersault back suplex, cover for two but AJ breaks it up.

Clayton in now and decks AJ but is tossed outside. Ray with a dropkick to AJ but is caught with a superkick, chokeslam by AJ, Swann with the frog splash for three.

Winner: First Class
Rating: ** 1/2
Thoughts: Perfectly good squash match to give First Class a win. Everybody did their part fine.

* Santino is on the phone when Jake walks up and says he got cheated when Francis and Deaner got involved in total chaos. The Rascalz come up and want to complain about Wentz’s loss. Santino books the three in a tag team match and Deaner walks up to be added in. He has an idea for the match and walks off with Santino.

* Alan Angels is late to his Sound Check segment with Kon and Steph De Lander but talks them up and says Kon is his first two-time guest, and brought his girlfriend. Kon pushes Alan away and he comes back. Steph says they aren’t dating and need to check his facts. Angels says that she’s single then? Steph asks Kon if he’s friends with this guy and he says no, Angels is starting to annoy him. Security comes in and gets taken out, and Kon and Steph leave.

* Deaner takes the mic and says he talked to Santino and he said because Albany is so hot, we can spice this match up. He says they could have a standard tag match, or they could have an Albany Tornado Tag match. The crowd wants the latter, shockingly.

* Steve is asked backstage by Gia why he did that, and he says they walked out on him twice, so he returned the favor twice. That was one, and taking out Trey at Under Siege was the second. Kazarian walks in and says that’s why he was distracted and they lost at Under Siege. Maclin says that Kaz lost the match and that Josh Alexnader and Eric Young is Kaz’s problems now. Kaz says Maclin is on his own with Santana and they walk away from each other.

* Hannifan has a sitdown interview with Mike Santana who says he’s on top of the world after returning and he couldn’t have chosen a better place to return home. Tom asks him about his time in LAX and he says they came in and took over with Konnan as a mentor, and they accomplished a lot. They were still young studs thrown into the ocean, and it was sink or swim. They swam and it was history.

Tom asks about what he learned while he was away. He says so much happened during that time. He lost his dad in 2020, and they were like brothers. Then the pandemic happened and there was a lot going on. He learned a lot had to change with himself, and he had to deal with some things in him.

Ash asks if she lives under a rock and George takes shots at New Jersey. Ash threatens to leave. Gabby shows footage from Under Siege and Ash attacking Havok after their match.

Gabby says Ash seems very angry and asks if it’s because of the moment when Ash’s attempt to use brass knuckles a couple of weeks was shut down, which led to Xia Brookside getting the win. George says the footage was supposed to be scrubbed and is all camera effects and illusions. Ash says she’s angry, but just because Xia stole her jewelry. Gabby says Ash can get her jewelry back, but she has to beat Xia who comes out to the ring.

Xia suggests the rematch for next week, with the rings on the line. Ash consults with George and says fine, and the match is set.
