Thoughts: They were kind of buying time here and did a long armwork session. You don't see that a lot in 2026. They tried but it was nothing too special. The armwork lost the crowd. Indi's finisher didn't look that good as usual.

AJ Francis in the back with a hat with money in it. He asks people for donations to help Expressions. He complains that they only give $40. He then asks BDE and Rich Swann for donations. BDE asks if he put his own money in there and Rich asks what happened to the "money, money, money". AJ says he made them money and they should return the favor. They call him bald.

KC Navarro is in the ring. He thanks the crowd and says he appreciates them. He says he fought for the TNA Title last week and failed. He says no one was harder on him than himself. He says he felt like he didn't belong in TNA. He talks about losing his home as a child and losing his uncle recently. He says then he thought of his journey on the indies and said he didn't quit. He talks about being on One Night Only and being in the Super X Cup, but not getting signed.

He says he wanted to show kids that they can do anything and points out his two brothers in the crowd. He says he was left alone in the lunch room but his brothers are here so he did something right. He says he knows he belongs. He says you've got to keep fighting and can't quit. He says his story isn't over but is just beginning.

The System come out. They make fun of KC and say no one cares about crybaby KC. Brian says he set him up with crayons and a coloring book in the back while they handle business. Cedric takes the mic. He says Leon wants a shot at his X Title and says the answer is no. He says he will never get a shot at his title. 

Eddie says Leon and Sosa don't deserve a match against The System. KC then interrupts and says this is his time, not theirs. KC says they call themselves the gatekeepers, but they look like a bunch of b!tches. Eddie says that was a big mistake. KC then gets jumped 4v1. Leon, Sosa and Fabian Aichner then come in to save him.

Thoughts: I didn't like this one. KC's not exactly high on the totem pole here and him talking about being treated like a loser didn't make him look like a big star.

Allie is looking for Rosemary in the back. She asks Daria Rae if she has seen Rosemary. Daria says Allie is up next and will forfeit the title if he's not out there. Allie says she will defend 2v1.

Gia interviews Xia Brookside. She is asked why she attacked Elayna and Choo last week. She says last week proved that Elayna Black isn't as good as she thinks she is.

Allie then rakes George's eyes. Mr. Elegance comes in and Allie hits him with the title. Allie then hits The Brand with the title and gets DQ'd.

Thoughts: Getting DQ'd here was a smart move at least. Now she has time to find Rosemary. The heels really should have been DQ'd though for their buddies getting in the ring.

The Hardy's come out in goat masks and we get some old school Matt Hardy Matt facts. Matt says it's a great night to be in Philly. Matt says they put an end to The Righteous last week and says they were deleted and maybe dead. They point out some actress named Amy Garcia who does their dance. Jeff says going into the lake changed him. He says he's the anti-christ and a sober alcoholic.

Jeff says they will start kicking some @ss around here. Matt says they are the greatest tag team in the history of wrestling. Matt says TNA runs on Hardydust. Matt says it's appropriate they won the tag titles in a ladder match as there would be no ladder match without them.

He says Nic will also defend his TNA Title vs Jeff Hardy and says Ryan will face Matt next week. Ryan then taunts Amy Garcia outside and offers a kiss. Amy throws water in his face then slaps him. Amy the does The Hardy's taunts with them. Amy was very entertaining and should return. 

AJ Francis is looking for more donations in the back. He asks the female ref and she gives $20. AJ then pockets it himself. AJ asks Home Town Man for some home town charity. Home says he has no extra cash and he hates him. Elijah comes in and says to leave Home alone. AJ says it's all Elijah's fault as he gave Expression the injury. Eli says it was self defense. AJ says he's tired of Eli disrespecting Expressions. He says he should beat some respect into him in a cage. Eli asks if he wants to walk with Elijah again at Lockdown and tells him to be careful what he asks for.

Daria Rae and Santino Marella talk in the back. Daria says she didn't like how the Knockouts Tag Title match went down and signs a rematch for Lockdown in a cage if Rosemary comes back. Daria says they need to trim the fat on the roster. He says Harley Hudson is first on the list as she hasn't won a match in months. Santino says she loves TNA. Daria says she's sure the board will care in a mocking tone. 

TNA Knockouts TV Title Tournament Quarterfinal Match - Jada Stone vs Jody Threat

They lock up and JT wristlocks her. Jada flips out of it and side headlocks her. JT shoulders her over. Jada sunset flips her for 2. Jada bridges out of a lariat and dropkicks her for 2. Jada handsprings and is thrown from the backdrop position. JT corner lariats her.

Jada kicks her off the ropes. Jada sitout moonsaults her for 2. JT pump kicks her in the head then meteora's her from behind. JT release germans her. Jada high kicks her and rolls her up for the pin.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one. Jada did a lot of flying but Jody blocked most of those flying moves and that hurt this one from picking up. Jada had some problems with Jody's height here. This had some issues.

TNA International Title - Mustafa Ali (c) vs Jason Hotch

They lock up, Ali forearms him and shoulders him over. Jason side headlocks him. Ali chops him. Ali flying headscissors him and chops him down. Ali topes him outside. Jason's wife and family are in the front row. Jason 619's him under the bottom rope then tornado ddt's him off the post onto the floor. 

Jason top rope crossbodies him for 2. Ali chops him and Jason punches him. Ali chops him down on the apron. Jason 2nd rope moonsaults him outside. We go to break and return. Ali is suplexed off the top through a table outside. Both men beat the 10 count in.

Jason hit chops on him. Jason running lariats him. Jason swinging backbreakers him for 2. Jason goes for a flying forearm in the corner and Ali pulls the ref in the way. Ali low blows Jason. Ali whips him with a belt. John Skyler pulls the belt away. Ali pushes him and Jason nails John on accident. Ali tries to pin Jason with his feet on the ropes and Tasha Steelz stops it. Mila Moore hits Tasha, they fight and security breaks it up. Ali and Jason trade pin attempts.

Ali sitout piledrivers Jason. Ali top rope 450's him. Ali gets a 2 count and Jason gets a 2 count on him. Ali misses a corner charge and goes into the buckles. Jason is crotched up top. Jason top rope diving M. Bison stomps him. Jason top rope splashes Ali and pins him. Jason wins!

Thoughts: It was a good match here with Jason pulling off the big upset. It's a shame this didn't get built up more because it could have been an even bigger moment. The stuff with Order 4 going at it made for a good moment and we had some nice teases before Jason ended up pulling it off. The top rope superplex spot through a table was cool as we didn't see it coming at all. Things should get interesting with Order 4 moving forward and I'm curious to see what that looks like.

Jason gets streamers thrown in the ring after then his family comes in.

Overall thoughts: I like the opener. Hail/Indi wasn't that interesting and I didn't love the KC Navarro segment. The Knockouts Tag Title match didn't accomplish a lot. I thought the stuff with AJ Francis looking for donations was entertaining. Jada/Jody could have been better. The main was good and one of the better TNA matches this year. I would give this a 6 out of 10 mostly for the main being a big success. It was an okay show overall.
