TNA IMPACT WRESTLING: MAY 23, 2024 RESULTS

#5 - Useful If Nothing Else

I’ll be honest, this week’s opening match did nothing for me. Broken Matt Hardy and Ryan Nemeth Vs the System was such a clear cut example of going through the motions bland wrestling that I struggled to focus on it. It did, however, facilitate a few cool things. The first would be Nic Nemeth returning to save the faces from a Systme beatdown after they’d unexpectedly won the match, and the second being that win earning Nic and Ryan a tag title match at the next big show.

#4 -We Hardly Knew Ye

Tonight’s Knockouts title match didn’t go wrong. Less than ten minutes, actually. Those hoping the returning Marti Belle would put in a good showing will be disappointed, as despite getting some offense in, she was dispatched like all the others with the Juggernaut Driver by Grace.

After the bell however, Belle’s partner, Allysin Kay, would attack Grace, and together, a Hex Marks the Spot would make it so the heels stood tall over the champ.

#3 - Righteous Rascalz

It’s always fun when wrestlers clearly meant to be enhancement talent exceed expectations. I don’t think there was any doubt in the mind of the viewers that the Rascalz would defeat Saint and Sinner this week, but the lesser know duo certainty made the most of their minutes. Innovative combos at a thrilling pace, perfect strokes, Saint and Sinner would be a good get for TNA’s tag division. In the end, after a close call, the Rascalz buckled down, and hit their Stomp/Backbreaker combo for the win.

After the bell, the Rascalz would quickly be laid out by Steve Maclin, who, being interviewed backstage, was confronted by Mike Santana, with the two setting up a match for next week.

#2 - Boricua Beatdown

In the second Knockouts match of the evening, Jody Threat would look to get some momentum and improvement against the Best to beat the Best, Tasha Steelz. Jody gave it her usual energetic effort, but Steelx was ahead of her almost the entire way. Eye takes, excellent counters, Steelz outthought Jody. Jody had a chance to win late in the match, but wanted to make things certain by hitting her F5. This would backfire however, and Steelz would soon hit a cutter for be he win.

#1 - Oh Good Heavens

In this week’s main event, with a shot at the X Divisuon title on the line, partners became opponents as Trent Seven and Speedball Mike Bailey faced off in singles action. Keeping it (mostly) respectful, bacj chops aside, the two battled nobly but fiercely, with apron slams, strike exchanges and fast-paced action being the name of the day.

Around halfway through the match, X Division Champion Mustafa Ali, accompanied by his security detail, would join commentary, and that would factor into the match’s finish. Accidentally eating a boot from Bailey meant for Seven, Ali would try to get involved later in the match, to no avail. This however would prove enough distraction for Champagne Singh to attack Bailey on the turnbuckles. Seven didn’t see the interference, but capitalised nonetheless, hitting the Birminghammer for the win.
