Thoughts: It was your usual 3-way. It was acceptable but nothing too great. I thought Mance might win here and was a bit surprised when Jake won instead.
BDE is interviewed. He says he's sore but knew what he was getting into when he crashed AJ Francis' penthouse. He says he's nervous but not scared. He says he will prove everyone wrong that he belongs here. He says AJ thinks he's more famous than he is. He says he will make AJ go viral tonight.
The King's Speech
Frankie Kazarian comes out to talk. He says his biggest dream is our worst nightmare. He says he's the king of TNA and the champ. He says no one deserves this more than him. He says he knows the people are angry and sad. He says the fans tears are shots of adrenaline and says not to stop being jealous of him. He says don't stop hating him as he won't stop hating the fans. He says he had nothing to do with the NXT wrestlers jumping Santana on Impact.
Kaz tells TNA President Carlos Silva to get in the ring. He complains that Silva didn't present the title to him when he won it. He says he will let Silva present him with the TNA Title and declare him champion. Silva congratulates him. He says they are launching an investigation into the NXT chaos and says Kaz is part of it. Kaz says he's appalled.
Ryan and Nic Nemeth come out. Nic says Kaz was behind the NXT attack as everyone else was attacked and Kaz wasn't. Kaz says Nick was attacked before he could call his shot. He calls him, "Mr. Money in the Bank". He says Nic saw an opportunity and took it with MITB and is just as much of a scoundrel as he is. Nic says he's calling his shot tonight. He says they will have their match then he will call his shot. Kaz says Nic just needs to trust the champ tonight. Nic says he will trust him and have his back, then later, he will have his title.
Main show:
TNA Knockouts World Title Match - Kelani Jordan (c) vs. M By Elegance

KJ is rolled into the corner. KJ footpresses down on M then hits a split-legged moonsault to win.
Thoughts: It ended at about the right time. The logic was odd here as both girls are heels but KJ became the face. M lost as expected here. I thought this one peaked in the middle of the match. KJ can fly but sometimes her flying looks a bit sloppy and she should clean that up. M had a nice showing though and did much better here than she would have earlier in the year.
Mara Sade, Xia Brookside and Lei Ying Lee are interviewed. Lee is asked about the match and just talks about something else. Mara says she has her eyes on Kelani and wants to make sure she doesn't lose herself. Ryan Nemeth comes in and says his brother is teaming with Kaz and not him in the main. Ryan says he's the news and not Mara. Mara says maybe his brother doesn't want him making a fool of himself. Ryan asks why her hair is always so wet. Ryan says Gia is being dumb and lazy and this is dumb and lazy journalism. He then reiterates what he said in this very weird segment.

Ava says she didn't sign off on anything that happened last night. Santino doesn't buy it. Ava says she will handle her locker room and Santino should handle his. Grace and Santino aren't thrilled.

BDE flying knees him for 2. BDE misses a top rope frogsplash. AJ hits a big spear. AJ hits a big chokeslam. BDE tells him to come on. AJ hits another big chokeslam and wins.
Thoughts: I think this is my first time seeing BDE. I was impressed. He only started wrestling in 2025 and looks like another Je'Von Evans and Leon Slater type of wrestler. He's athletic and is exciting to watch. I'm sure he rehearses a lot and probably can't do stuff on the fly that well, but he looks like he has a ton of potential. I don't know what his availability is but TNA should definitely look into signing him. I liked this match. The chokeslam into the canadian destroyer spot was cool and AJ's a real pro at what he does. This could not have gone much better than what it did.

Nic kicks Mike in his injured arm and yanks it over the top rope. Nic superkicks Mike for 2. SM lariats Nic over the top and goes with him. Kaz gets a 2 count on Mike. Mike spinning forearms Kaz and wins.
Thoughts: I didn't like this. Mike was a true jerk here. He ignored his partner all day and let him get his butt kicked 2v1 before finally arriving. Who wants a partner like that? This wasn't that good either. And if you were looking for some kind of explanation or reasoning for Kaz beating Santana for the title, you got nothing here.
Nic wants to cash in his Call Your Shot trophy after then the NXT/Evolve wrestlers from last night attack. They beat up everyone. Judas Icarus and Travis Williams come to help out but get beaten up.
Santino Marella argues with Stacks. Brooks Jensen nails Santino from behind. The Hardy's come out but get beaten down to end the show.
Overall thoughts: I thought it was about average overall. The opener was average. BDE impressed me vs AJ Francis and I'd like to see him again. Dani/Indi was a fine hardcore match. The Knockouts Tag Title match was also average. The Hardy's tag match was fine. The Rascalz match was the best match on the show and was good. I liked Slater/Swann but it could have been a little better. The main wasn't that great as expected and the angle with the WWE guys attacking the TNA wrestlers isn't really working as well as it should due to the wrestlers being lower card guys. I'd give it a low 6 out of 10 overall.
