We’re less than a month away from Slammiversary and…there isn’t much on the show. There are only a few matches set for the show and most of the champions are still waiting to find challengers. They might want to work on that with just four shows left before the pay per view so let’s get to it.
Here are last week’s results if you need a recap.
Opening recap.
Eddie Edwards vs. BDE
The rest of the System is here with Edwards. BDE starts fast with a springboard crossbody and Edwards is sent outside for a dive. Back in and Edwards catches him on top for a scary sounding top rope belly to back rope superplex. BDE is right back up with a reverse DDT into a Codebreaker. Alisha Edwards gets up for a distraction but BDE is right back with a springboard Stunner for two more. The System offers another distraction though and BDE’s frog splash hits raised knees. The Boston Knee Party finishes for Eddie at 4:52.
Rating: C. This was about what it should have been as a former multiple time World Champion shouldn’t have much effort beating a winless streamer. The good thing is that they didn’t stretch this out, as tends to be the case for BDE, and BDE is far from embarrassing. Just a quick opener here and that’s about all it needed to be.
Post match the beatdown stays on but Fabian Aichner runs in for the save. The System manages to take him down but here is Leon Slater for the real save. This includes the big running flip dive over the corner so the good guys can stand tall.
Video on the Hardys vs. the Righteous in the Righteous’ weird garden.
Here is AJ Francis for a chat. Francis does his usual introduction and brags about getting rid of Rich Swann. He brags about his musical abilities and loads up a song called Walk, which doesn’t seem to be overly great. Cue Elijah to interrupt but Francis says that Elijah is stealing his intellectual property. Francis throws up what appears to be his face on Elijah’s guitar playing body.
Hold on though as Francis isn’t done, even busting out a cease and desist letter. Since Elijah doesn’t want to collaborate, Francis has purchased the name, image and likeness for Elijah, Elias and EZEKIEL. Elijah loads up a song called No Skill Uncle Phil anyway and actually turns his back on Francis, who lays him out. That was another level of dumb from Elijah, who deserved to be knocked cold.
Indi Hartwell and Santino Marella are warming up when Daria Rae interrupts. She makes it clear that she had nothing to do with Hartwell getting a new contract.
Elayna Black brags about winning the Champions Challenge last week and is ready to win the Knockouts Title because she’s that awesome.
Indi Hartwell/Santino Marella vs. Stacks/Arianna Grace
Frankie Kazarian is on commentary. The men start things off but Grace comes in to offer a free shot. Hartwell is fine with coming in to tackle Grace and hammer away but Stacks jumps Marella to take over instead. A random sleeper pulls Stacks down, who is right back with a basement lariat as we take a break.
We come back with Stacks mocking the trombone pose but getting backdropped out to the apron. That’s enough for Hartwell to come in (legally this time) with a spinebuster to Grace but Stacks makes a save. A fisherman’s neckbreaker gives Grace two and she runs Hartwell over. The chinlock goes on but Hartwell fights up for a clothesline in the double down. Marella comes back in but Grace takes the Cobra and loads it up herself. Naturally she hits Stacks by mistake, allowing Hartwell to pull out her own Cobra. Stereo Cobras give Marella the pin on Stacks at 12:23.
Rating: C. This was all about the power of the Cobra and given that we have a match in a magical garden coming up, this could have been worse. It wasn’t much of a tag match, though Marella isn’t out there for the sake of having something high quality. There is at least something with the son/daughter/son-in-law deal though so it could have been worse.
The Elegance Brand gets scared by the Undead Realm again.
Eric Young is in the ring to talk about how this place is sick and he has to fix everything. He did that to Joe Hendry, Ricky Sosa and EC3 and now it’s time to win the World Title. Mike Santana is sick and addicted to the fans’ applause so Young is going to beat him due to being better than that.
Cue Santana to interrupt and call Young a bit less than relevant. Young talks about how he’s been here longer than anyone and he is the one constant (that’s not how constants work). Santana says that people like Young are the ones really poisoning TNA but Young calls him the shiny new toy around here. The people will turn on him too but Santana is sick of him, so let’s do the title match right now. Young hits him low and gives him a piledriver. Thankfully it seems like we’re done with Young’s main event push after next week.
Mustafa Ali is not happy with getting pinned in the Champions Challenge but he knows that KC Navarro just got a fluke win. Their title match is next week.
We look at Young piledriving Santana again.
Here is the Personal Concierge to warn Lei Ying Lee that the Elegance Brand is coming for the Knockouts Title.
Mr. Elegance vs. Lei Ying Lee
Xia Brookside is on commentary. Elegance shoves Lee down to start and strikes a pose but Lee is back up with her own takedown. That means Lee gets to pose as well and then hammer away in the corner. The rest of the Elegance Brand gets up for a distraction and that’s a big group elimination. Elegance powers Lee around again and swivels his hips behind her neck.
Some hip thrust faceplants have Lee in more trouble and she can’t get a sunset flip. A missed charge sends Elegance into the corner though and Lee kicks him into an ankle lock. Elegance reaches the rope and nails a pop up slap but gets crotched on top. An airplane spin is broken up as Brookside gets on the apron, allowing Elegance to rake the eyes. A wind up DDT finishes for Elegance at 7:09.
Rating: C-. This was a rather odd choice for a match, with Lee getting powered around, as you would expect, and then the villain cheating to win, even if he should have anyway. Brookside costing Lee the win in the end was a logical way to go but this was weird all around. I’m not sure what they were going for here but it didn’t exactly work.
Post match Brookside announces that she’s getting her title shot at Slammiversary.
The Broken Garden is prepared, which appears to be a bunch of flowers and barbed wire being set up around ringside. I’ll take that over some mythical place.
Hardys vs. Righteous
Wicked Garden, which means anything goes and pin/submission has to be in the ring. The Righteous come out with a bunch of lackeys in robes, who surround the ring. The bell rings and they take their time getting ready before finally slugging it out. That means the Hardys have to avoid being sent into the barbed wire a few times but Dutch is sent into the barbed wire board.
Jeff is sent into the wired ropes and gets his arm wrapped around one of them but Matt is back up with some kind of a gardening tool. Dutch’s face gets raked and of course he’s already busted open. Vincent is back up with some wire around Matt’s head but Jeff is up for the save. The double legdrop hits Dutch as Matt is busted open as well. The Righteous are sent outside so the Hardys join them for more wire raking.
We take a break and come back with Jeff being dropped ribs first onto the barbed wire. A Downward Spiral sends him into the wire again and Matt is back inside to get choked down. We go to a quick shot of the crowd which is likely some kind of an edit and come back to Matt using the wire to hit Dutch low. A Plot Twist gets two on Vincent and the wire is wrapped around his head. Dutch’s save is cut off and Vincent gets caught with Poetry In Motion.
The Side Effect gets two on Dutch but he spears Matt through a barbed wire board in the corner. Jeff gets pulled into a kendo stick shot to the ribs and Vincent whips out a white flower. They put it into Jeff’s mouth and Jeff is in trouble. Matt is back up with a double DDT as Jeff falls outside and convulses. Jeff starts vomiting and is put on a stretcher but comes back in to fight some more. That doesn’t exactly work and it’s Orange Sunshine to finish Matt at 21:00.
Rating: C+. I never know what to make of these weird/otherworldly things and this was no exception. I’m sure there’s some kind of explanation of what the heck the Righteous are talking about here but honestly that might just make it worse. The brawl was less insane than I was expecting and thank goodness it was just in the arena, though this feud has outlived its interest for a long time now and needs to be over. It won’t be, but it needs to be.
The Righteous are all happy and the Hardys disappear for the spooky ending.
Overall Rating: C-. This one really didn’t click for me, as Slammiversary is coming up and it feels like one of those things that might be going on in the background but isn’t overly important. I’m not sure why they’re so obsessed with the Righteous vs. the Hardys, but it’s probably whatever Jeff came up with and thought was some artistic display. This wasn’t a very good show and that’s not something I have to say about Impact Wrestling very often. Hopefully it’s better next week, as the pay per view needs some buildup.
