Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/04/tna-xplosion-4112025.html

Here's the new content this week:

Around the Ring with Gia Miller

Mustafa Ali is this week's guest. He talks about his religion for a while and discusses Ramadan. He talks about his birthday coming up and says he doesn't want to say how old he is.

Ryan Nemeth vs Jake Painter

Ryan waistlock takedowns him. Ryan fireman's carries him and takes him down. Ryan then knee drops the hand. Ryan waistlock takedowns him and slaps him in the butt.

Ryan boots him in the gut. Jake hits armdrags and an atomic drop. Jackbreakers him on his shoulder. Jake hits a back elbow. Jake gets on the 2nd rope and is dropkicked down, taking a nice bump for it. Ryan 2nd rope elbows him in the head. Ryan neckbreakers him for 2.

Ryan throws him down backwards. Ryan comes off the 2nd rope and is hit in the gut. Jake hits forearms and chops. Jake hits lariats. Jake hits forearms in the corner then double underhook backbreakers him for 2. Jake misses a flying double knee in the corner. Ryan then hits a jumping ddt. Ryan then hits a jumping flatliner and wins.

Thoughts: Jake got a little in but was put down easily. Ryan wasn't losing this one here. It wasn't the most interesting because the outcome was obvious and there weren't a lot of highspots in this.

Overall thoughts: There was only one new match and one new interview segment as usual. Neither was that interesting and I wouldn't recommend this.
