TNA Xplosion 5/23/2025

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/05/tna-xplosion-5162024.html

Around The Ring with Gia Miller

Brian Myers is this week's guest. BM says he's been waiting for the call to be on the show. They talk about something called "Whatnot", which is some kind of marketplace app and BM says him and Matt Cardona got addicted to it. They say they also took funny photos of Sami Callihan. BM says he will gamble and get hooked but then loses and ends up losing his money. Gia says she likes buying old clothes from there.

Brian says he went home between trips and didn't want to stay in LA. 

Gia says she didn't and it's recipe for disaster. Gia says she is one and says the show should be re-branded to that.

Myla Grace vs Harley Hudson

This is the TNA in-ring debut for both girls. Myla has been in Marigold and WWE NXT UK. I'm not a fan of hers. Her look is the best thing she has going for her. She's a very sloppy wrestler.

They lock up. HH wristlocks her then Myla wristlocks her. HH tries to roll out and Myla rolls with her. HH armdrags her but Myla holds on. HH side headlock takeovers her, gets put in a headscissors then they do the spot with the roles reversed. HH shoulders her over. Myla does la magistral for 2.

Myla sunset flips her for 2. They trade pin attempts and Myla refuses a handshake. HH hits kicks and legsweeps her. Myla basement dropkicks her for 2. Myla rolls her into a border city stretch and HH ropebreaks. Myla offers a handshake. HH kicks it away. They shove each other and trade forearms. HH chops her then northern lights suplexes her. She then legdrops her.

HH throws her into the corner and does push-up's. HH slams her for 2. HH straightjacket chokes her. Myla throws her over then htis forearms. HH euros her then Myla lariats her. Myla hits a corner euro then dropkicks her through the ropes while she's against the bottom rope.

Myla twisting neckbreakers her for 2. HH rolls her up for 2. HH double boots her out of the corner and hits double throat thrusts. HH flying forearms her. HH fallaway slams her for 2. Myla backdrops her for 2. HH over the back neckbreakers her on the knee for 2.

They trade forearms. HH back elbows her then they double clothesline each other. Myla rolls her up for 2. They fight over a backslide and the time limit expires.

Thoughts: This was the longest Xplosion match I've seen at 10 minutes. The match was fine. They didn't do anything too crazy but there weren't any botches and they matched up alright. There weren't any clear faces or heels. I thought Harley was the better worker of the two. This went about as well as it could have gone.

They shake hands and hug after.

Overall thoughts: There was only one new match and one new interview segment as usual. The new match went to a draw which is a rare thing on Xplosion and it was fine. Myla had a better showing than usual and there were no botches. As always, there's nothing you really need to see here on this one and I wouldn't recommend it.
