Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/07/tna-impact-wrestling-7172025.html

We are in Pittsburgh, PA.

George Iceman talks in the ring. He says the place is a cesspool and if he had to give an enema to the US, he'd stick it in Pittsburgh.

Harley Hudson and Myla Grace do an inset promo. They say they are the new girls, they've waited a long time to be here and are ready to prove themselves. Harley says if they win, they are first in line for a Knockouts Tag Title shot.

Thoughts: It was on the shorter end and just average. There was no doubt as to who was winning here and the work was pretty basic.

Matt says they should work together tonight then it'll be team vs team at Slammiversary. Matt says it's do or die. Zach asks if Reed has his black and green gear.

The System go up to Leon Slater in the back. Moose says history and greatness are words associated with him that Leon will never live up to.

Moose says everyone says Leon has potential. Moose says he did everything in this company and says he will be the longest reigning X-Division champ in the company. He says Leon will just be another name on the list. Leon says he will give Moose the toughest fight of his life.

Matt Cardona comes in. He says he thinks Dark State is coming after everyone in TNA and needs back-up from them. Alisha and crew laugh. Matt tells Brian he needs his help and Brian walks away.

Thoughts: It was a fast paced match with a lot of action in it. It was solid as expected and I liked it. There were a lot of forearms and strikes thrown in this one. 

Mustafa Ali asks Tasha Steelz what that was about in the parking lot. The Great Hands come in. Ali says she's sick and tired of this. She says Ali is trying to lead them to titles and nobody has a title. She says he's on a downward spiral and getting on her nerves. She said she called Cedric Alexander to trick him and said she knew he'd come save her. She says because of what she did, Ali now has a match with one person he never beat. Tasha says The Great Hands need to worry about their jobs instead of doing the right thing. Tasha says they had nothing and have extra zeroes on their paycheck. Tasha asks where were they before Order 4? Tasha says they are going into TNA's biggest PPV and will do it as a unit. She says now's the time to say it if anyone else has anything else to say. She asks if they are clear. Ali says she lied to them. Tasha says she did and she also saved him. She says he's welcome. Ali says he knew he hired the right person. Ali says a united Order 4 can become the greatest faction in TNA history.

They go to leave in a car and The System minus Moose interrupt. They have problems with Ali saying they can be the greatest faction. Eddie says they have had all the titles and The System works. JDC says let's find out who is the greatest faction next week. Ali says he has a lot of his place and Tasha says she will see them next week.

Thoughts: This was a stupid angle that Tasha absolutely saved here. That was the best promo of her career and is worth seeing.

We get a Fourth Rope commercial with Enzo Amore. He says he's a certified G and a bonafide stud and you can't teach that. He says he balls. He has a title with dollar signs on it. He says he wants all the smoke. He says there's a Forbidden Door and says he's not supposed to go there? He says TNA's in his backyard and asks if we remember what happened at MSG.

Thoughts: Enzo's back which is good. I guess he will be at Slammiverary?

We get a Mike Santana video. We see him in NYC and he talks about losing his father. He says he's blessed with the ability to suffer and use it as motivation going forward. He says obstacles got him to the main event of Slammiversary. He says he's repping TNA at Slammiversary. He says he's the standard and will be champ. 

Victoria Crawford vs. Indi Hartwell

Tessa Blanchard is on commentary. They lock up. Vic goes to the ropes to avoid a wristlock. Vic then slides out of the ring to avoid a lock-up. She then sits on tessa Blanchard's lap at commentary.

Vic messes with the crowd, ducks a lock-up then goes back out. Indi chases her. Tessa yells at Indi outside. Vic kicks the ropes into Indi's crotch. Vic chinlcoks her.

Indi hits forearms then is tripped into the ropes. Tessa punches Indi there. Indi facekicks Vic over for the win.

Thoughts: It was short and didn't do much but further Indi vs Tessa. There was little wrestling here. 

Tessa says this is what Indi does. She says she doesn't know anything about loyalty. She says Indi walked across her back for years and she carried her deadweight. She says Indi would still be wrestling in Australia and a meatpie if it wasn't for her. She says everything Indi did in wrestling is due to her. She says Indi is forgettable.

Santino Marella and Arianna Grace talk in the back. The Northern Armory interrupt. Eric asks why he keeps getting kicked out of buildings while Cody Deaner is here. Santino says Cody isn't. Eric says Cody is The Home Town Man. Santino says Home's merch is flying off the shelves and said he hired Home. Eric asks if he remembers Super Eric and says he was Super Eric. Santino says he is blowing his mind. Santino syas it doesn't prove Cody is The Home Town Man. Eric shows a Home mask and says it proves Cody is not him. Santino says he could buy that mask. He says Cody and Home Town Man will never wrestle for TNA again if Eric can prove it. 

We get a taped Joe Hendry interview. Joe says he's been watching TNA since 2002 and it's painful to lose the title to someone who doesn't work here or respect TNA's history. Joe says he needs to bring the title back for TNA. Joe says he welcomes Mike Santana being in the title match. He says everyone wants to sit in the chair until it's time. He says he's the one who went to Mexico and talks to the media. He said he took the title to Ariel Helwani's show. He said he did it with a smile on his face and says Mike isn't like that. Joe says right now, he's the one to lead TNA.

Joe says the fans were there for his ascension and they need to be there for his redemption. He said he will do what needs to be done to win the title at Slammiversary.

The Hardys (Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy) & The Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz) vs. First Class (AJ Francis & KC Navarro) & The Nemeths (Nic Nemeth & Ryan Nemeth)

Nic rolls Reed into a pin attempt. Nic side headlocks him. Reed trips him then legdrops him in the face. Nic takes kicks from Reed and Zach. Zach double stomps Nic. Ric takes a slingshot backdrop + neckbreaker. AJ and Jeff go at it. Jff spin kicks him in the gut and jawbreakers him. AJ misses a corner splash. Jeff hits chops then stunners him. Jeff then hits a twist of fate.

Jeff jumps off Matt's back into a lariat on AJ. Zach jumps off of Matt's back onto AJ. Zach standing moonsaults AJ for 2. Zach enzugiri's AJ. AJ corner splashes Zach. Nic corner splashes Zach. We go to break and return.

Zach is held and stomped by KC. Nic boots Zach. Zach hits punches. Nic camel clutches Zach. Zach jawbreakers him. AJ headbutts Zach then chokes him on the ropes. AJ stands on Zach's gut. Zach hits forearms on AJ then is thrown down backwards. Zach is rammed into the corner by AJ.

Matt hits a side effect on Nic and then Ryan. Matt hits a twist of fate on Ryan. Matt then gets on the bottom rope and side effect's AJ. Matt bangs AJ's head off the buckles. Matt ddt's AJ for 2. Trick says he can't take this no more on commentary. Zach plancha's The Nemeth's outside.

Trick hits Matt with the belt in the back and AJ spears Matt to win.

Thoughts: It was pretty average and not much else. Matt didn't look that great here and Jeff basically did nothing. The finish didn't look that good either and the camera's somewhat missed it.

Matt and Jeff are stomped by First Class and Trick after. Mike Santana comes out to help but gets double teamed. Joe Hendry then comes out. Joe hits punches on Trick. Mike is pushed into Joe. Joe turns around and nails him. Mike goes after Joe and the faces break it up.

Overall thoughts: Tasha Steelz's promo was the high point of the show and worth checking out. She had absolute crap to work with and somehow made it make sense. The opener wasn't that good and the match following it wasn't much. Fatal Influence looked good vs Lee and Masha and there were tons of stiff shots in that match. The three-way was decent. Crawford/Indi was short and barely had any wrestling. The main was average and not worth much. I'd give this one a 5 out of 10 as it had a mix of good and bad here.
