TNA Impact 12/4/2025

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/tna-impact-11272025.html

I think we are at the Hardy Compound and see various wrestlers walking around. There's a box with the TNA logo on it and everyone is on the 2nd floor of a barn. The box is glowing. They then have a January 15th graphic for Dallas, Texas. It says "our story continues on AMC". They then announce TNA is moving there.

Thoughts: The move to AMC is fantastic news for TNA. AXS is better than nothing but nobody gets the channel and the channel limits its growth.They should get some new fans with the move and some much needed cash. They really need to step things up though. There's only been like 2-3 shows with all new content since Bound for Glory and that's not gonna cut it on AMC. They also desperately need to get some new young talent. Just pick like 5 new people who are over 6 foot tall and see what happens. WWE also needs to be a better partner and stop taking TNA talent because this show has to draw good enough ratings to stay on air.

The Home Town Man vs Brooks Jensen

Lexis King is with BJ. BJ backs up Home in the corner. Home hits a big punch on BJ then bangs his head off the buckles. Home hits mounted corner punches. BJ is tripped into the 2nd rope and Home hits pucnches on him. Home slides out and punches him. Home hits a top rope crossbody for 2.

Thoughts: It was pretty basic and not much of note here. Home lost but he's basically a jobber and it makes no real difference. 

The Rascalz hang out in their clubhouse. Wentz's phone plays The Hardy's theme when Trey calls him. Trey asks who Dezmond Xavier is. Wentz mentioned a guy named Wes and Dez asks who that is. Wentz explains that they are the same person and said they changed their names in WWE. Dez asks why he changed his name. Myron Reed asks about Order 4 and they think they are ordering food. They then imply that they smoke weed and they act all goofy after. They talk about Tasha Steelz and Trey says she steals his heart every time. Zach says he's happy to have all his brothers in the treehouse.

The Iinspiration (Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee) talk. They said they had the odds stacked against them at Turning Point but stayed tag champs. They challenge a team to come and shoot their shot and step up.

The Iinspiration end up down and Crawford grabs their titles. The heels pose and The Iinspiration get up and boot the heels. Mila takes a bulldog onto a knee then Crawford takes a double gordbuster.

Frankie Kazarian is outside. He complains about JDC thinking he deserves a title shot. He says it took him decades to get the title shot and says JDC is joining the retirement bandwagon with Cena and AJ Styles. Kaz says they will be missed and are stars but JDC couldn't be a star if he was thrown by a ninja. He says his new years resolution will be to end his miserable midcard existence.

Thoughts: The problem here is that everything that Kaz said was true and that's not good when the guy getting ripped is a face.

First Class Penthouse

AJ Francis introduces himself and Swann. He says they will have Leon Slater on the show. AJ says Leon is the X-Division champ due to Swann not getting the job done at Turning Point. He then brings out Leon Slater.

AJ puts over his album. Leon tells AJ to brush his teeth. Swann offers AJ gum and he takes it. Leon says he doesn't know why he talks to him or Swann like they aren't successful.

He says he doesn't want to trade jabs and be that guy. He says he looks up to Kaz. He gets mad at him bringing up his wife and says Kaz crossed the line. He says he will see a side of him that is real serious that he doesn't want to see. He says he wants to leave the business better than he got in it. He says he will show Kaz what a real star is.

Thoughts: Compared to some of the other stuff on this show it was incredible. I didn't like them no selling the canadian destroyer here. They did have some nice flying spots though and the finish was creative with Trey hurting his knees off a missed meteora and Ali doing a sharpshooter to him. Ali won as expected here.

Thoughts: It got a lot of time. It wasn't great but what we got was enough and it was fine enough. The heels tagged in and out a lot and I felt like it was hard to get some momentum going because of it. We got a couple of dives here but nobody got any air at all. The heels kind of had to win here to keep their momentum going and to build to something bigger.

Santino Marella comes out and looks angry at Team NXT for cheating. He then yells at Stacks.

Overall thoughts: There's a PLE tomorrow. It has more matches than they could really promote here though they tried. It was your usual TNA show with a lot of average wrestling. It was enough but nothing you'd go out of your way to see. The main or the semi main was the best thing on here. I'd give the show a 5 out of 10 overall and wouldn't recommend it.

Thoughts: Alex is very very green and not really ready to be on these shows yet. He can do all kinds of flips but he can't do them all clean and you can just tell he's not used to doing them. I was surprised he beat Inq here. This was painful to watch at times and went much longer than it needed to. I wasn't a fan of this.

It was something different but a normal tornillo would have been better. It was fast paced and had a lot of flying. I didn't love it but it was okay enough overall.

Thoughts: It was a very average main event and far from anyone's best work. The faces weren't winning here so we didn't get a ton of dives or a great comeback section either. I was surprised the heels won clean.

Overall thoughts: It was a different type of card than usual with 2 singles matches and a tag team cibernetico. Alexius was very green in the first match though he can do a lot of flips...just not cleanly. The women's match wasn't that good. Maya/Explosivo started off strong but cooled off. It wasn't a bad effort. The tag team cibernetico was a bit hard to follow but was alright. That got the most time on this show. The main was far from anyone's best work and it was very average. I'd give this show a 5 out of 10 as there was nothing great here. I thought it was average.

AEW Dynamite 12/3/2025

Joe tells Tony to get out of his ring before he snatches the ugly wig off his head. Joe says Eddie probably has questions that need answered. Joe says he didn't wear his suit because it would be like wearing a tux to a petting zoo. He says the fans are too stupid to realize when they are in the presence of greatness. 

Joe says Hook grew up with a championship legacy. He says it's about education and said he thought it was important Hook knew what it was like living on the other side. He says Eddie has never gotten it done or crossed the finish line. He says Eddie screams about his potential but never fulfills it. He says Eddie will bring everything to the table but won't cross the finish line just like every other time. 

Eddie says Joe sold his soul out. Eddie says Hook learned perseverance and never quitting from him. Eddie says everyone calls him a hot head but when he yells and screams, he gets stuff done. He says he doesn't know or respect this Joe. He says Joe showed everyone what it meant to be a world champ but is now jumping people from behind and getting in Hook's head. Eddie says Joe is like the guys he used to call out. Eddie says if Joe doesn't bring the old Samoa Joe, he will eat him alive.

The Opps minus Joe do a promo. Hook says Joe took care of business tonight and will finish Eddie Kingston off next week. Hobbs says they have business to handle tonight. He says everyone is gunning for the tag titles. He says they will spread holiday cheer. He says Dark Order impressed them on ROH and they can get a title shot if they beat them. Hook says he knows they are Page's friends so they will have fun with them. Hook says it'll be real light work tonight.

Thoughts: It was alright. Pac took a hard tombstone on his head and Okada took a hard german here. The finish didn't really fit what they were doing but Okada already lost and couldn't really lose here again as he is a champ.

Mark Briscoe does a promo. He says him and Daniel Garcia faced off twice around this time last year. He says Garcia is the real deal. He says things have changed as he is the TNT champ this time. He says his opinion of him changed. He says DG is falling into a Death Riders death spiral.

The Conglomeration and Harley Cameron do a promo. Mark says The Conglomeration has not started off The Continental Classic with a lot of success.

We see Darby in a hospital bed in a hospital. They say they will update us on his status on Collision.

Thoughts: KK did more flying lariats here than I think I have ever seen in one match. It's pretty much all he did here. Kyle didn't go too overboard here at least as KK got most of the offense in on this one. It was okay. Kyle got the win as expected.

He says siding with Kenny Omega is an unforgivable sin though. Don says he has The Bucks' money and says he knows Omega won't finance them. Don tells them to be men and come and take the money.

The Young Bucks come out. They hit superkicks on everyone and hit a BTE trigger on Kyle. Okada comes out and a rainmaker's a Buck. The other Buck is then ganged up on. One Buck is in an ankle lock.

Thoughts: I would have liked the piledriver through a table to finish off Meg here as that was a pretty big spot. Other than that, I liked it. It was an entertaining hardcore battle with some fun spots, a little blood and a funny appearance by Luther.

Thekla's crew do a promo on Kris Statlander and Jamie Hayter. Thek says Statlander is a baby b!tch. Kris Statlander tells Thekla to name the time and date for a match.

The Dark Order are in the back. Uno says this has been years in the making and they have an opportunity like no other. Adam Page walks up next to them. Alex says he knows Page is looking for blood but says not to ruin this. Page says he's coming for The Opps the second this ends.

Cash says they will always be Billy's Boy and Mr. Storm. Dax says Juice's position of power in The Gang has gotten to his head. Dax says this is life while it's a paycheck for Austin. Dax says they will be on Collision and dares them to put their hands on their  titles.

The Opps (Katsuyori Shibata, Hook and Powerhouse Hobbs) vs The Dark Order (Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds and John Silver)

The Dark Order will get a trios title shot if they win here.

The Order are knocked off the apron and beaten up outside. Uno is sent into the rails. Alex is well. The bell officially rings. John hits chest kicks on Hooks. Hook hits a capture suplex. Hobbs catches Alex's tope and slams him on the apron. Uno is facekicked off the buckles to the outside.

Thoughts: The Opps won in shorter fashion here as expected. They did fine with what they got but the outcome was never in doubt here. I was surprised The Order didn't get beaten up more here.

Adam Page comes out and hits The Opps with a chain. KS boots Page then hits mounted forearms. Page hits Hobbs with a beer bottle. Security stops Page from hitting a buckshot lariat. Page then beats up security.

Adam Page does a promo. He says he fought for 3 years to get back to the world title. He says the person who cost him it is Hook. He says Full Gear was a bump in the road and he will take the title back. He says if Hobbs and Shibata want a fight, they got one. Page says he will fight them but not alone. He says they know who is coming for them. 

AEW Continental Classic 2025 Blue League Match - Jon Moxley vs Claudio Castagnoli

Thoughts: It was a good match with them stiffing each other, fighting outside and Mox bleeding like he always does. This looked like how it should look and they got this right minus the finish. I don't like Mox losing all of these matches though. You gotta protect your top stars and Mox is one of them. 

Overall thoughts: It was a heavy wrestling edition of Dynamite like Continental Classic shows usually are. Most of the wrestling was good though so that's fine. The main and the women's hardcore tag match were the best matches on this one. Kevin Knight even dragged something respectable out of Fletcher. The rest of the show made sense as well and this show did what it was supposed to do. I'd give this a 7 out of 10 as we had two strong matches and nothing was awful.

WWE Evolve 12/3/2025

WWE Evolve 12/3/2025

There was no show last week. The show from 2 weeks ago is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/wwe-evolve-11192025.html

Robert Stone and Peter Rosenberg are on commentary.  

Kendal Grey says being a champ is different than chasing it. She says she has people down her back and she says she's ready for it. She says she's focused on Chantel Monroe tonight.

AG hits forearms on her and hits a wasteland (they call it Graceland) and AG wins.

Thoughts: Grace winning was an upset here. Winning is not something she has done a lot of. She didn't botch anything here but it wasn't the world's prettiest match and was not that good. Carlee really hasn't gotten to do much in Evolve so far and I feel bad for her.

They talk about Yayne Harrison being the newest WWE ID signing. We also see Laynie Luck winning the Women's WWE ID champ. They said she got a WWE ID contract as well. 

Nikkita Lyons talks to Layla Diggs and Masyn Holiday in the back. Diggs says no one embarrasses her friend like that. Lyons asks what's with all the hostility and says she positively beat Masyn senseless. Diggs says she won but she's not gonna let her stand over her friend and dance over them. Digg asks for a match with her. Lyons says she loves charity work so why not? 

Marcus Mathers and Aaron Rourke vs Mike Cunningham and Cappuccino Jones

It's Gal is in the VIP Lounge watching this.

MM and Cap go at it. MM grabs his leg and Cap fireman's carry takeovers him. MM waistlock takedowns him. Cap side headlocks him. MM armdrags him and does a neat pin attempt. MM boots him away and they double kip up together.

MM flips over Mike in the corner. Mike flying back elbows MM. Mike runs the ropes fast and is caught with a lariat from MM. Jax Presley and Harley Riggins then run in and hit both teams to cause the no contest.

Thoughts: It was a long bout with a lame ending. The ending made this one a waste of time. They did a little much here and selling was not a big priority in this. Aaron tries but he is a little awkward at times. Cap barely cleared the top rope on a suicide here but got lucky. I didn't really like this too much and thought it got a little too indy by the end of it.

Keanu Carver then comes down and knocks Cap into Aaron. Mike is pulled away from Riggins and Jax and Keanu short arm lariats him. It seems like Keanu, Harley and Jax are now a group. It's Gal claps in the VIP Lounge.

WWE Evolve Women's Title - Kendal Grey (c) vs Chantel Monroe

Karmen Petrovic is in the VIP Lounge. CM hides between the ropes to start. They lock up and go into the corner. They pieface each other. KG waistlock takedowns her multiple times. CM boots her in the corner. CM hits natural selection for 2.

They hit chest forearms on each other. CM springboards into a superkick. KG hits a jumping flatliner and wins.

Thoughts: It was another longer match here. There wasn't a great story or anything but KG was okay as a face. It was weird for them to have Wendy Choo come down, interfere yet not cost Chantel the match. I didn't really like this that much overall but Chantel showed that she can do alright in a longer single's match.

Chuey Martinez talks to Tate Wilder and Sean Legacy. Chuey says they will fight in a #1 Contender's Match next week. Sean says this is a match the fans want to see again after he got screwed on NXT. Tate says he was close to winning but didn't. He says he might be new but he's picking up wins and gaining momentum. He says he thinks he's starting to be in the title picture. Sean reminds him that he was thinking of quitting a few months ago until he gave him advice. 

Tate brings up the PC. Sean says he doesn't think he can trust anyone from it. Tate says that's the problem - Sean groups them together like they are the same. Tate says the PC talent is looking close to the ID talent. Sean says they can both agree they don't like The Vanity Project. Tate says he will put it all on the line next week and they shake hands. Someone then grabs Tate off screen and the show ends.

Thoughts: They've been slowly teasing a heel Sean Legacy and I think we are getting closer to it happening here.

Overall thoughts: It's a different show without Stevie Turner and The Vanity Project running things and they are still trying to figure things out. We had 3 matches here. None of them were that great. Grace/Carlee wasn't that good. The tag match got a bit indy and went on longer then it needed to. Then it had a run-in finish anyway. The girls got a lot of time for the main. No one botched or anything but there wasn't much of a story and I can't say I loved it. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 as it was average overall.

Thoughts: I was surprised to see Slater win here. It got a lot of time. Kofi did his flying and there was nothing wrong with this. It was a totally acceptable match here.

Overall thoughts: There was only one new match here as they had a lot of recaps and hyped up Mania. The one match we got was fine but nothing great. I wouldn't recommend this one.

Thoughts: Sinner and Saint wrestled more face like here than usual and Judas in particular showed a lot more energy. Javi was so much bigger than anyone else. I thought this was just average. Jake's losing streak continues. 

Around The Ring with Gia Miller

Ryan Nemeth is this week's guest and still has the turkey suit on. Ryan says he loves Christmas and his family only does a little for Thanksgiving.

Thoughts: Mara put out a good effort but it had some sloppy moments and weak looking moves which brought this down. 

Overall thoughts: There were 2 new matches here and one new interview segment. Neither match was that great but the men's match was better than the women's match. I like that they are pushing the story of Jake Painter trying to get his first win and giving you a reason to care about his matches. I wouldn't recommend this one and thought it was the usual so-so episode of Xplosion.

WWE NXT 12/2/2025

WWE NXT 12/2/2025

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/wwe-nxt-11252025-gold-rush-2025-week-2.html

We see clips of Joe Hendry and Thea Hail talking in the back. Stacks and Arianna Grace come in laughing. Grace says Thea let Joe down at Gold Rush and says they should have been chosen instead. The says she believe she can kick Arianna's @ss tonight.

Ava talks to security guards in the back with one of them being Jax Presley of Evolve. She says to make sure Kelani and Jordynne stay away from each other. Ava says Fatal Influence isn't going anywhere when she sees them. She says they will face Sol, Lola and Kendal tonight.

We see OTM walking in the parking lot earlier in the week. Kale and Uriah of Chase U almost run them over. Andre Chase apologizes. Nima says if this happens again, we won't be having this conversation. Chase tells his crew that OTM is threatening them and asks if they are stupid. 

We get a John Cena video where he talks about how fast time passes.

Je'Von Evans, Myles Borne, Leon Slater and Joe Hendry talk about Darkstate with Ava. Evans wants to know how they will beat them. Borne thanks them for the help last week. Robert Stone gives Ava a box that came for her. Ava says the winner of tonight's match gets to pick their spot in the Iron Survivor Challenge. Ava then find some kind of broken item (maybe a black flower pot) in the box.

Thoughts: It was a hard hitting battle. Tav showed some okay fire and they stiffed each other. It ended at about the right time. It was alright and Tav looked a little better than usual here. 

The Culling comes out. Izzi says the fans like Tatum as they are just like her. She says none of them know how to be alone. She says she didn't betray Tatum but corrected a mistake. She says Tatum had no right to ignore the woman who dragged her out of the hell hole. She says she cared about her and give her voice and confidence. She says Tatum tripped over the same insecurities she tried to get out of her. She says she was selfish and stubborn.

She asks if it's a coincidence that she took Tatum under her win then became a champ. She says Tatum only became champ because she allowed her to. She says she showed that everything she gives she can take. She says they will fight 1v1 at Deadline and she will finish what she started. She says she will end the version of her that refused to Evolve.

Tatum Paxley then appears in The Culling's spot. She looks messy and asks why Izzi tore apart what was steady in her life. Izzi says she gave Tatum the world and she rejected it. She tells her to come out and something about it. Tatum says she's scared because she don't know what she will become without her hand on her shoulder.

Thoughts: It was an entertaing and solid tag here. The faces did a bunch of flying and the heels did their part. The pace was very fast here and it was heard to keep up with at times. We've seen various of this many times but it's usually good so I don't mind.

He says there's an exception to the rule and the ruler and it's Ricky Saints. Ava then says the match will open the show which is the first time the NXT Title match will do that.

Overall thoughts: It  was a very busy show with a million things going on. They covered a lot of ground here and did good with it. The women's trios match was the best match of the night but I also liked the main. Briggs/Heights was decent too and Keli and Jacy both did some good work on the mic here. I would give this a 7 out of 10 and would recommend it as we good stuff going on inside and outside of the ring.
