I was a little disappointed that Kiana's and Tiff's section wasn't better. I can't say I'm excited for Jade/Rhea.

Cody hits a cross rhodes on Drew. Orton RKO's Cody and pins him. Randy Orton wins.

Thoughts: The finish was a shocker with Randy Orton beating Drew. I don't believe Orton will end up being in the Mania main though. The match was a disaster if we are being honest. Evans got dropped on his head. LA botched a double jump elbow drop before getting eliminated. Trick fell on his butt during his elimination. At least we had some happenings here to hide some of the issues with this one.

Nick Aldis goes up to Drew in the back. He asks what his problem is and says he ruined it again. Adam Pearce and security break it up. Drew says he warned him that he wasn't a good chap.

The post-show starts. Nick Aldis said he warned Drew to stay out of the way and says he can't stand the attention not being on him. Nick says Drew is hell bent on Cody not getting another shot. Nick says on Smackdown, it'll be Nick vs Cody for the WWE Title. Drew comes out. Nick takes off his jacket and is ready to fight. They argue and officials break it p.

Overall thoughts: It wasn't that good of a show. It had a lot of breaks and downtime. We only had 4 matches and none of them were that great. Danhausen had a bad debut. The main was a disaster for the most part and the women may have had a better Chamber match then the men did. The Men's Chamber match had a surprising finish that wasn't well built up to and will likely not lead to Orton/Drew in the end. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 and I wouldn't recommend it.

He says as the hero of the nation and the captain of the last territory, he guarantees he will come out on top and defend the territory. He says he will give it all for his country as that is what WWC does.

We get more promos for Euphoria.

Abel Durant closes the show and shills tickets for Euphoria.

Overall thoughts: There was nothing really to see here. We only had clips of 3 matches for the most part, a couple of new promos and endless shilling for WWC Euphoria. It's a smaller promotion with a low budget that relies on ticket sales, so I get it, but more wrestling would have been nice here. I get why it was done this way, but it wasn't great and was little more than infomercial. I wouldn't recommend this.

Thoughts: The ending was a bit weird as Olym raked the eyes, Pers sold it then Olym posed on the 2nd rope and was grabbed and finished off. The work was okay but the selling wasn't. It went about even with both girls getting about the same amount of offense in. It was much better than what we ususally get from the women and it was not sloppy.

Thoughts: It worked out better than I expected. There were able to work together pretty well. They did a decent job keeping all 3 men involved in this. I thought it was a good match for the most part and I didn't think they wasted much time here. CC won as expected as he's going to lose his title on a big show, not a show like this.

Thoughts: Oro winning was a bit of an upset here and the crowd was happy about it. It was a slower paced match. What we got was alright but it wasn't anything great. There wasn't any great logic or story here. JC was in control for a lot of this but Oro pulled it out in the end. I honestly didn't want to see JC lose his hair as it's part of his look and I don't know if his look works without it. Usually people lose their hair to get a big payday but this is Mexican money and I'm sure it's nothing compared to what he gets from AEW.

Oro cuts off some of JC's long hair. JC thinks that's it then Oro superkicks him. JC gets shaven fully bald.

Overall thoughts: It was a good show. Nothing was bad here and if you wanted a lot of fast paced action, this was the show for you. I thought the three-way tag was maybe the best match of the night here. The main was okay enough and Johnny Consejo losing his hair was a bit of a surprise. I would give this a 7 out of 10. I had no real issues with this show and I thought they put out a better card than usual here especially with so many of their stars out.

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/wwe-smackdown-2202026.html

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/wwe-smackdown-362026.html 

We are in Louisville, KY. Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett are on commentary. 

Jey Uso is being put in an ambulance. There's a big scene with everyone yelling and surrounding the ambulance. Jacob Fatu yells that Nick Aldis better find out who did this. Cody asks Nick what happened here. Trick Williams comes in and says better him than me. He says that's one man down and 4 to go. Je'Von Evans comes in and argues with Trick. 

Drew McIntyre appears in the arena with a mic. He says 4 letters, 1 word - Drew. He says he had nothing to do with Jey Uso. Drew says he's guilty til proven innocent. Drew gets in the ring. He says he's the champ and should be able to do what he wants, when he wants, so he does.

Nick Aldis comes out with security. He said he told him time and time again to stay out and not get involved. He tells him to go to his office as there's 20 guys who want to rip him apart and he's close to letting them. Cody Rhodes comes out and Drew exits the ring. Cody says let's fight right now. Drew asks if the fans want that and Drew says no. Drew asks how it would benefit him since he's the champ. He says he's not a trouble maker and follows the rules. He says he told Nick he would leave so he will. 

Cody says Drew's reign has been spent running like a little b!tch. Cody says no rematches then Randy Orton comes out. Orton says he feels bad for Jey but he is only concerned about winning The Chamber and beating Drew for the title. 

Trick Williams comes out and interrupts. Trick gets major pops. Trick says he's the hottest thing in the business and says that's why Bruno Mars shouted him out in his album. He says he sees Cody and Orton in the ring. He says since we are in the KFC Center, he can add flavor to the menu. Je'Von Evans interrupts. Evans slaps Trick in the back of the head.

Evans says he heard we are talking crazy so he says let's talk crazy. Evans says he's here to win at The Chamber and beat Orton's record (he says this to his face). 

LA Knight comes out. LA says he hears empty promises and big talk. He says we got 24 hours til Elimination Chamber. He says they all belong to him. He says Drew's title belong sto him if he faces Drew. Trick then interrupts LA's line and says whoop that trick. LA asks if he says that. Trick says yes, then LA says okay and punches him. They fight and brawl in the entrance way then to the back.

Orton looks around and RKO's Evans. Orton stares down Cody. Orton then leaves.

Thoughts: That was a dynamite way to start the show. A million things went on there and it looks like Jey Uso is out of The Chamber. LA and Trick's interaction was fun and Trick was mega over here.  

Cathy Kelly says Jey's status in Elimination Chamber is in question. She then talks to Tiffany Stratton. She say what happened to Jey sucks and says every woman knows better than to come at her. She says she's ready to get the title back. Asuka and Kairi Sane interrupt. Asuka says Tiffy Time is over. She says no one is ready for Asuka tomorrow.

Thoughts: I liked this. Howdy worked Solo's spike thumb for most of this and ended up picking up the win. Maybe it wasn't the most exciting match ever but Howdy's strategy made sense.

Howdy grabs his lantern after. Talla Tonga facekicks him over the rail and takes the lantern with The MFT's. 

Nick Aldis talks to Drew McIntyre. He tells him to stay home and stay out of trouble. Drew says they've known each other for a long time and need to stay on the same page.

The Vision walk in and talk to Nick. Nick asks what they want. Heyman says he wants to help him with Jey being out. He says he needs a replacement for Jey in The Chamber and offers Logan Paul as a substitute. Logan says he will win if he gets put in The Chamber. Logan takes off hi shirt and shows his muscles. Logan tells him to put him in The Chamber.

Nick says it's convenient that Jey was injured and moments later he seems The Vision. Theory asks if he's accusing them. Nick says it's an interesting proposition and says let him make some calls.

We get a video on Damian Priest talking about NXT.

Tiffany Stratton vs Asuka

Chelsea Green is with Alba Fyre and is on commentary. Asuka comes out with Kairi Sane. Asuka says she's smart. She says she's resting before her Chamber match She says Tiff can face Kairi Sane instead. She says it's not Tiffy Time but Kairi Time.

Green yells at Tiff for that spot. Sane jumps off the apron, misses Tiff and knocks Green into the wheelchair. Tiff finlay rolls her then double jump moonsaults her for the win.

Thoughts: It was an athletic match. Tiff took an awful looking ddt bump on the apron. I was surprised Green was willing to take a bump while her foot was injured. That was a cool spot. I liked this one.

The Vision talk to Nick Aldis in the back. Nick says he was looking for them. Nick says Logan will get a chance to compete in The Chamber. Heyman asks what the catch is. Nick says he can get in if he wins vs Jacob Fatu. Heyman asks if Nick is out of his mind. Logan says he sold the world's most valuable trading card, he married the most beautiful super model and can beat the world's most dangerous werewolf. He says he's Logan Paul, the winner of this years Elimination Chamber.

Oba Femi vs The Miz

Miz slides out and grabs the mic. He says they don't have to fight. Miz comes back in and Oba steps on his hand. Oba takes the mic and tells him to get his own mic. Miz says nobody wants this match. He says this is a classic misunderstanding and says it's on him. Miz says he was in developmental 15 minutes away from this arena. He says he was bright eyed and bushy tailed like him. He says he made the mistake of going after Taker and Triple H and doesn't want him to do that. He wants to be the type of leader to take him under his wing and guide him.

Miz says they can adopt The Miz Method - Master, Inspire and Zone-In. He says he can help him inside and outside the ring with his connections. He says he can have the world chanting Oba. Oba says he doesn't need them to get them chanting his name as they are already doing it.

Miz pulls Oba's throat down over the top rope. Miz comes off the top and is chopped down. Oba running corner euros him. Oba misses a charge. Miz hits a skull crushing finale. Oba throws him on a backdrop. Oba pop-up sitout powerbombs him and wins.

Thoughts: Oba's line about Taker was funny. This was mostly what it should have been with Oba destroying Miz. Someone will take Miz up on his offer one of these days... 

Carmelo Hayes talks to Ilja Dragunov and asks why he's not in his gear. Drag says they won't fight tonight. He says he wasn't successful against Tama or in recent times. He says he doesn't deserve the shot. He says he will come for the shot an says he needs Melo to go out, win and show everyone why he's him. Melo says no. Melo says Drag needs to give himself a pep talk and remind himself who he is. Melo says opportunities like this come a lot right now but won't forever.

Matt hurricanrana's him off the buckles. Melo rolls him up for 2. Melo superkicks him for 2. Matt jumping leg lariats him for 2. Melo hit a first 48 and pins him.

Thoughts: Matt gave him a good run for his money here and they sold me on Matt possibly winning. I thought it was a decent match and one of Matt's better efforts.

Multiple wrestlers check out the mystery box in the back. R-Truth says you have to watch The Elimination Chamber to find out. Truth then shills the show on the ESPN app and tells everyone how to get it. Johnny Gargano is wheeled in a production box by LeRae and they keep going. 

Kit Wilson walks in. He says Gargano is trying and that's more than all of them. He accuses them of being toxic and they all laugh.

Michin and B-Fab come in. They say Jade is making friends everywhere. Michin says Jade may not be champ by Mania. Jade says if she will do something, do it. B-Fab tells Michin she will get her chance.

Cody Rhodes talks to Jacob Fatu. He says he hopes it's him in The Chamber. Sami Zayn walks in. He shakes Cody's hand and Cody leaves. Sami asks Fatu how Jey is doing. Fatu says he's not doing good and it's not looking good. Sami says he didn't do it and can't say he can say the same for Fatu. 

Fatu asks what that means. Sami says it looks funny and says Fatu tried to take his spot once he was out. He says all Fatu wanted to do was get his hands on Drew and has left chaos and destruction everywhere. He asks what he's supposed to think. Fatu tells him to be very careful to what he says next. Sami asks if he will end up in the hospital? Sami says he wants his hands on Drew too. Sami says Drew screwed both of them. Fatu says he got screwed by Drew. He says Sami is the only one who didn't get claymore'd. He says it looked like Drew was trying to help Sami win. Fatu says if anyone is pointing fingers, maybe he should be watching him. Sami says he's right and he's sorry. He says Fatu deserves a 2nd chance and says to go win it for Jey. Sami then flips a table and knocks a water bottle over.

Thoughts: I don't know where it's going, but Sami continues to have some of the best segment with his new character.

RR pulls Nia over the top. RR dropkicks Lash. RR headbutts Nia then hits riptide on her. Lash back rack drops RR and pins her.

Thoughts: Iyo/RR were doing well as a team so I was a bit surprised to see them lose. But the women's tag belts aren't a priority and they are for sure scheduled for bigger things. There's also limited teams available and they had faced most of them. This got a lot of time and was cut up by 2 breaks. RR seemed to maybe hurt her lower back after slipping on the floor. The match was alright. 

Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss talk. Flair is eating 3 things of ice cream. She says she's fine but Bliss doesn't buy it. Kiana James and Giulia come in.

Randy Orton is walking in the back. Aleister Black and Zelina Vega come up to him. Black says he wonders is if black mass kick woke up something in him. He says he hopes he utilizes it well if he did. Orton says he doesn't know what's going on in his head and says the voices are getting louder and louder. He says he will get him if he wishes for it and says he will find him after The Chamber. Black says of course he will as he planned it that way.

Fatu gets on the buckles, Drew McIntyre nails Fatu with his title belt and LP picks up the win.

Thoughts: I was surprised to see LP win but it wasn't clean and follows up on the Drew/Fatu story. It was an alright match here. The big masked man reveal was not Grayson Waller or anyone that was known. If he's legit the masked man, that was disappointing, but he may not be.

Overall thoughts: It was a good show. We had a big happening to start things off with Jey Uso being out of The Chamber and a lot of solid wrestling throughout the night. We also got the big reveal on the masked man who was an unknown, though he may not be the real masked man We also had a nice Sami/Fatu segment here and a title change in the Women's Tag Title match. I'd give this a 7 out of 10 as it was a rather complete show with lots of things going on. You should probably see this if you plan on watching Elimination Chamber.

Juggalo Championship Wrestling 2/26/2026 Lunacy Episode 72

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/juggalo-championship-wrestling-2192026.html

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/juggalo-championship-wrestling-352026.html 

Joe Dombrowski and Veda Scott are on commentary.

Big Vito, Mickie Knuckles and PCO come out. He says to say he is p!ssed off is an understatement. He says he was attacked in a limo and has black eyes but he survived. He was says there was a mastermind behind all of this named Violent J. He says J made a deal with Russo, who isn't here. He says J said if his man lost, he wouldn't come back to JCW.

Ray goes for a flatliner and The Ring Rat on the ramp. Ray gets distracted and Fac springboard enzugiri's him. Fac rope walk ryder kicks him and pins him.

Thoughts: I don't like Ray losing in his debut here. Ray mostly danced and goofed off before going down. I haven't seen an indy dance off in a while and could have gone without that, but at least the guy doing it is a dancer. 

Ray walks out with The Ring Rat after. 

We get a video on Kerry Morton's recent ongoings. 

Vince Russo does a taped video. He says he's sorry he's not the arena and has to take care of business. He says there's a problem named Kerry Morton.

He says he booked Kerry in Japan for the next few weeks. He says maybe he will get his mind cleared and will top questioning him. He says he will see us next week.

Vito says they have a big match tonight and she's gotta give him time. Vito promises they can do this after and says she will call him daddy for months after. She grabs him by the crotch and leaves. Vito asks what the hell did he do?

JCW American Title #1 Contendership Three Way Match - Mecha Wolf vs. Shane Mercer vs. Steven Flowe

Wolf pumping knees SF from behind then pop-up kicks him in the back of the head for the win.

Thoughts: I liked it. It was a quicker three way with Flowe flying around. Mercer throwing Flowe over the top to the front row on Wolf was a cool spot. 

Shane drops Flow after and stomps on him. He then hits mounted shots and chokes him. CoKane comes out and Shane backs off.

She says to put him in a bodybag and get him out of JCW as he's been nothing but a nuisance. She says to finish them. Mr. Happy says, "f*ck yeah" and they all stare at him. He then pretends ike he didn't say anything. Jas asks if he said something and Happy blames his teddy bear. They then walk off.

J-Rod comes out. She says Big Al is a p*ssy @ss b!tch and dares her to come and show what she's got.

Big Al comes out and jawbreakers J-Rod. Al clubs her on the apron then double axe handles her off of it. Al dumps J over the rail onto fans. Al chops J then chops her in the seats. J bangs Al's head off a fan and sends her into a fan. J chops Al at the sound booth.

Al eye rakes J. Al hits forearms and has her head banged off a chair. J chops Al down and bangs her head off the apron. They go in the ring and J misses a corner charge, sending her shoulder first into the post. Al pump kicks her then backdrops her. J drops her with a punch while wearing brass knucks. J then walks off.

Thoughts: It was another entertaining J-Rod brawl here with them going into the crowd and using fans as weapons.

Disco Ray and The Ring Rat dance in the hallway. The camera man asks why he's so happy when he just lost. Ray says he's got his own ring rat. The Rat says rat's only go for cheese but it was a no brainer to go after him. She says the temperature is ring and asks if it's Saturday Night Fever or Disco Daddy.

The Green Phantom does a promo ripping JCW. He says he sees men becoming monsters, witchcraft, alcohol being consumed with kids and hits being ordered. He says he sees corruption and a widely desperate need for a green light in the sky and says he's talking about him. He says he's coming and help is on the way.

We see someone talking about how to make hot tea with an instructional video. He says to pour and stir slowly. He says Red Love is about slowing people down long enough so they can see what's there. The graphic says, "Father is bringing his Red Love to JCW".

PCO is banging stuff around in the back. 

JCW World Tag Team Title Match - The Brothers Of Funstruction (Ruffo The Clown & Yabo The Clown) (c) vs. 2 Tuff Tony & Willie Mack

Mack and Tony haven't been around lately so it's unknown how they got this shot. Yabo has the vest on and Ruffo has the suspenders on. Tony pours alcohol in fan's mouths as he enters.

Tony and Ruffo shake hands. Tony ducks a lock-up and chops him. Tony armwringers him and pulls his extended stretchy sleeve. Tony gives up on it and tags Mack in. Mack is confused and arm wringers the sleeve. Yabo breaks it up with a roll-up on Mack.

Tony sentons him then Yabo rolls him up for 2. Yabo boots him out of the corner. Tony misses a corner charge. Ruffo flying back splashes Tony then flying splaches him.

Ruffo pop-up atomic drops Mack. Ruffo jumps off of Yabo's back with a leg lariat on Tony. Mack double lariats The Clown's. Mack goes up top and is crotched. All 4 go on the same set of buckles. Tony sunset bombs The Clown's down, forcing Mack to take a superplex. 

Big Vito comes out. Vito grabs The Clown's briefcase and takes it to the back with him. Yabo yells at him. Vito puts the briefcase down and kneelifts Yabo hard. Ruffo is tripped into a knee from Mack. Mack standing moonsaults Ruffo. Tony asai moonsaults Ruffo and pins him.

Thoughts: Tony busting out the moonsault was impressive and I was shocked the buckles could handle all four of those guys on them at the same time. I didn't like the extended sleeve pull spot. Vito's been having issues with The Clown's, so him getting involved made sense. This was something different.

Vito hands Mack and Tony the tag titles after. They are confused as to what happened and don't seem pleased. The Clowns, Mack and Tony then corner Vito in the ring. Vito escapes and PCO/Mickie Knuckles come out. 

We go to break and return. The Brothers of Funstruction are upset in the back and say Vito took their briefcase. They say Vito will expose them and says it's over for The Family. They say Vito cost them their tag titles and tried to destroy them. Willie Mack and 2 Tuff Tony come in. Tony gives them the belts and says it's theirs. He says they want to do what's right and says the belts belong to The Brothers, or now.

Steven Flowe calls Shane Mercer out. Shane comes out and SF pounds on him. Shane rams him into the corner and hits hard corner spears. SF hits punches and blind springboard back elbows him. Shane hits a big exploder twice. Shane overhead belly to belly suplexes him. Shane foot chokes SF.

SF hits some punches and Shane pop-up fallaway slams him. Shane throws him across the ring then bang his head off the mat. Shane gorilla presses him then CoKane saves SF again. Shane exits as CoKane goes after him.

Thoughts: It wasn't really a match but it was a decent whooping with Shane throwing Flowe all around.

Blast from the Past

We see clips of Officer Colt Cabana vs Sabu. Sabu makes him submit with a camel clutch.

CoKane checks on Steven Flowe in the back. SF says he's alright and needs a few minutes. 

World War 3 Elimination Match - St. Claire Monster Corporation (Beastman, Kongo Kong & Mr. Happy) vs. Luciano Family Enterprises (Big Vito, Mickie Knuckles & PCO)

Caleb Konley comes out to do commentary for this. Jasmin St. Clair comes out with The Corp.

Kong drops Vito with a punch in the corner. Kong corner splashes him. Kong celebrates then PCO chokeslams Kong. PCO top rope moonsaults Kong and pins him. Vito's team wins the match.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one here and they ran through the eliminations pretty quick. That's a shame as I was looking forward to this. They put over PCO and his chokeslam big here as he took everyone out with it.

Vito poses with PCO after and celebrates in the ring by himself. Violent J appears in the stands and points at Vito.  

Overall thoughts: With Russo not being around, we got a bit less backstage stuff than usual and got more wrestling than usual. Sadly, we didn't get much of the main as it was a shorter bout used to put PCO over. We had two unofficial matches here and both those were entertaining. I didn't care for the opener as it hand too much dancing. I liked the three-way and the tag title match was something. As usual, I found to be an easy show to watch. There's just so much happening that you never get bored or feel the need to take a break. The wrestling wasn't bad here for this level of a promotion, but I thought the main had potential to be a lot more than it was. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 and thought it was a fun show.

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/wwe-main-event-352026.html

Angel rolls him up for 2. Rey superkicks Angel then rope walk kicks him. Rey top rope frogsplashes him and pins him

Thoughts: It was alright and was what you would expect with them doing some flying and Angel cheating a bit before it ended. It wasn't their best work or anything. Rey won as he's higher in rank.

The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) vs OTM (Bronco Nima and Lucian Price)

Price pushes BC on the lock-up. BC side headlocks him then is shouldered over. BC waistlock takedowns him twice. Price headbutts him down.

Thoughts: The crowd didn't care about this at all and booking wise, it's hard to blame them. They almost messed up the finish but didn't. What we got was fine. OTM's in a weird spot where they probably could be on the main roster but they never got their big NXT push and maybe never will. The Creed's aren't much better off as they are forever in purgatory and part of a dead stable in American Made which does not seem like it will return.

Overall thoughts: We were back to 2 matches instead of 3 this week. Neither was must see but both were acceptable bouts. You can clear all the new content here in under 30 minutes. I don't think you really need to see this show though.

Eric Young runs down the ramp and distracts Leon. Mike backs up Eric on the ramp. Leon top rope 450's and Nic gets his knees up. Nic pins him.

Thoughts: The break cut up a lot of this one. Eric Young coming down was a bit a random. This was average for the most part. The highlight was Kaz saying that "Mike Santana failed art class because he couldn't draw a dime".

Gia interviews The Righteous. Vincent says they believe in brotherhood with The Hardy's but they don't want it. Dutch says he apologized and will do anything to get The Hardy's trust. Vincent says they always stood behind The Hardy's, even when they didn't stand beside them. Vince says to trust them and everything will be groovy.

Lee forearms her on the ropes. Dani grounded sleepers her. Lee backrolls her for 2. Lee is supposed to be pushed into the chained buckle but she misses it. Dani then hits a luna landing and pins her.

Thoughts: Dani threw her around and Lee did her usual offense here. They messed up the finish as Lee did not got into the chains like they were supposed to. It got a bit more time than needed and was just average. 

Alisha Edwards talks to Tommy Dreamer and Carlos Silva in the back. She has a contract with her and says she feels like she doesn't belong here.

Thoughts: It was a weird one as it was heel vs heel and MW had  to play face for this. It was acceptable but not much more. The finish didn't help things and this is not over.

MW chairs him more after and throws a  chair at him. AJ celebrates the DQ win on the ramp.

TNA Injury Report

Mustafa Ali is out and is not cleared. Jody Threat has an injured rib after Tessa kicked her in it. She'll be back next week. Leon Slater is under evaluation.

Mickie James comes out to talk. She says it's good to be here in Nashville. She said she heard what Ash by Elegance had to say. She said she talked big and Mickie said she drove 20 minutes to come talk to her. Mickie says she has a lot to say and tells her to come out to talk. George Iceman comes out and Mickie says nobody came to talk to him. She tells him bye.

Ash by Elegance then comes out. She says the people paid to see her and her entrance. She says the people didn't come to see the irrelevant, washed up legend. Mickie says she wanted to talk to her 1 to 1 as a friend. Ash says they "were" friends. 

Mickie said Ash called her when she was released and asked her what to do. Mickie said she called Tommy Dreamer to get her to TNA. Ash says she was already being scouted and was the hottest free agent. She says it wasn't because of Mickie. Mickie calls her a mark and says she's Mark by Elegance as she was arguing with people on Twitter. She says people come after her on Twitter because she is trending every week.

Mickie says without the people, she couldn't stand in this ring. She said the people believed in her and had faith in her. Ash says she doesn't care about the people, just her and the title she never lost. Mickie asks her where the title is and said she had to leave the title in the ring. She says she has thought about the title everyday since. She says Ash made a mockery of the title and it's disgusting.

Mickie runs to the back and The Elegance Brand jump her as she runs. Mickie is beaten up on the stage. Ash ddt's her on the stage.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good of a segment here. The acting was definitely rough and I'll never be a big fan of them calling each other mark and stuff.

 We go to the back and Jody Threat is down from The Elegance Brand. Santino comes in then Daria Rae comes in. Daria says it's chaos everywhere and it's Santino. She asks him what's going on. She says something's going wrong and it has Santino's name on it. Daria then brings up Arianna Grace and says she told him not to give her a shot. Daria says she's talented but Santino's delusion needs to get it together.

Thoughts: Daria Rae's angle isn't working at all. All she does is embarrass everyone and make them look weak with no end or goal in sight.

Tasha Steelz vs Jada Stone

TS lariats her before it starts then hits a short arm lariat. TS stomps her in the corner and foot chokes her. TS hits chops and forearms in the corner.

Thoughts: Jada still needs time to get over but this was fine. Jada got to do some of her flying as usual here. 

Jada runs into The Hands. They throw her back in. TS then pounds on Jada in the ring.

Tom Hannifan is in the ring. He says Steve Maclin lost Feast or Fired and no longer works here. He says Steve has asked to be able to tell his side of the story about what happened with Mike and Tom says he will talk to him here. Steve Maclin is brought out with security.

Tom says him and Steve have been best friends for a decade. He said he stuck his neck out for him and asks how he can explain his actions against Mike Santana. Steve says this isn't about Mike, it's about him. He says it's about his last day where everyone was coming up to him after he got fired. He said as he was leaving the building that day, the most selfish person Mike Santana thanked him for his selflessness. 

Steve says he was raised to be selfless and volunteered for the Marine Corps. He says Mike and him had a brotherhood but he broke it long before he attacked him. Tom asks if that justifies what he did. Steve says Mike Santana didn't show up for their tag match after Turning Point as he had a meeting. Steve says that's selfish. Steve says he could talk about his problems everyday but he doesn't, he puts a smile on his face and moves forward.

Steve yells at Tom and and says he sounds like the fans. Steve says they are supposed to be friends. Steve says he got Tom his job. Tom says he doesn't want to do this in front of everyone. Tom says he has tried everything to help him. He said he used his position to help him. He says people like Mike Santana have gone to bat for him and said people in management tried to help him. He asks how many times Steve has been fined? He says Steve never takes accountability and it's always someone else's fault. Tom asks why shouldn't Steve hold himself accountable? Steve grabs him and hits him in the gut. Security and Mike Santana come out and Steve runs. Steve then pushes Matt Rehwoldt over after.

Thoughts: This whole angle is really dumb and this didn't help things. Steve didn't get fired because of his behavior, he got fired because he entered a stupid match where you could get fired if you had the wrong briefcase. I have no idea what Tom or Mike really have to do with it and they did a poor job of explaining that.

Next week has Nic Nemeth vs Leon Slater for the X-Division TItle.

Gia Miller is now on commentary in place of Tom. 

The Hardys (Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy) & The Righteous (Dutch & Vincent) vs. The System (Bear Bronson, Brian Myers, Cedric Alexander & Eddie Edwards)

Eddie boots and punches Jeff. Jeff lariats him then atomic drops him. Jeff legdrops him between the legs and basement dropkicks him. Jeff bends Eddie backwards with a submission. All 8 men fight. Brian's head is banged off the buckles. 

We go to break and return. Dutch and Bear bodyblock each other then trade punches. Bear boots him in the gut. Dutch exploders him. Vince jumps off Dutch's back with a flying hip attack on Bear. Vince takes a sitout chokebomb from Bear for 2.

Bear totally misses a punch on Vince. Vince's head is banged off the buckles. Brian snapmares Vince. Brian flying knees Vince. Bear stomps Vince. Bear slams Vince, does Jeff's taunt on the ropes and 2nd rope elbow drops Vince for 2. 

Ced comes in and hits shots on Vince. He kicks him in the back. Ced germans him. Vince headscissors him into a russian legsweep. Matt and Eddie get in. Matt hits punches and lariats Eddie. Matt hiptosses Brian then hits a neckbreaker + ddt combo on the heels. Matt hits a side effect on Eddie for 2. Vince ddt's Brian. Bear lariats Vince. 

Jeff hits a twist of fate on Bear and Dutch black hole slams Ced. Bear is sent out by Eddie. Matt reverse ddt's Eddie. Eddie blue thunders Matt. Eddie shining wizards Vince when he pushes Matt out of the way. Eddie pins Vince.

Thoughts: We've seen this tag or variations of it a lot of time. It's acceptable but nothing too memorable. The Hardy's didn't fly at all here and it was far from anyone's best effort. Vince taking the bullet for Matt continues their storyline of The Righteous trying to show loyalty to them.  I still feel like The System need to be pushed much harder because they just heel like a midcard group right now.

The System beat up the faces after. Moose comes out and clears off the heels. The System group up on Moose and get the advantage. Alisha Edwards comes out and tries to stop Moose's beating. The System back off and Eddie is definitely frustrated.

Overall thoughts: It felt like an AXS TV episode of TNA. It's good that they are getting back to normal but the show wasn't that great. Steve Maclin's and Daria Rae's angles aren't working and while the show ends up being average to acceptable, it's nothing you really need to go see. I don't think this show had a standout match I would say it was slightly okay and would give it a high 5 out of 10. I do think the next PLE/PPV they do should be good though.
