TNA Xplosion 10/25/2024

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/10/tna-xplosion-10182024.html

Arianna Grace comes out. She says she's here to grace us with two of her best friends - Kendal Grey and Carlee Bright. She then announces their opponents. She says one of them is her best friend too and says sometimes best friends fight. She gets upset over this and brings out Brinley Reece. Xia Brookside then comes out in cowboy themed attire.

Brin and CB get in. Brin shoulders her over and lariats her. Brin forward cartwheel lariats her for 2. Xia codebreakers Grey. CB takes a double team in the corner. Xia iconoclasms CB and pins her.

Thoughts: It was a pretty solid match here and much better than the usual offerings. It was fast paced, everything they did look good and even Xia even came out of this looking good. Its not surprising though. This NXT rookie class is one of the best ever.

Around the Ring with Gia Miller

Chris Bey got seriously injured during the next set of tapings so Chris being the guest this week is really bad timing. Gia said she interviewed him on this when she was doing it for the first time and said it didn't go well. She said this is a redemption episode. Bey says he's producing a new song every Monday as part of a project.

Bey says he's releasing a song he did years ago but never got around to releasing. Gia says the wrestlers were doing karaoke but Bey was sleeping and missed it. Chris says he needs female vocals for a song and invites Gia to hit the studio.

Mike Santana vs John Skyler

Mike comes through the crowd as usual. John says the Tennessee peons are degenerates, scumbags and common street thugs like Mike is. He says they will clean up this city with these good hands.

Mike wristlocks him and yanks his arm. John reverses it. John hits a forearm and Mike knocks him over twice. Mike overhead belly to belly suplexes him. Mike hits a corner lariat. John gets on the apron and is back elbowed. John pulls Mike out. Mike superkicks him on the floor.

Mike hits chops in the ring then suplexes him. Hotch gets on the apron and distracts the ref. Mike goes after him then is hit from behind by John. They slap each other. John slingshot spears him for 2. John hits some shots and snapmares him. John the leg drops him for 2.  

Mike back rolls off the ropes and hits doi fives. Mike spinning lariats him and wins.

Thoughts: It was a short and average match here. They were fine but they didn't have much to work with in this one. It was a total throwaway.

Overall thoughts: There were 2 new matches here and one new interview segment which had some bad timing to it. Neither match was must see but the NXT girls did a good job and made Xia look better than she usually is. I wouldn't recommend this one and it was very average.
