TNA IMPACT WRESTLING: JUNE 20, 2024 RESULTS

#5 - Finally

Well folks, we're here. Something interesting has finally happened with Ash By Elegance. I mean no insult to Xia Brookside when I say that-in fact I think the two should revisit their feud in future if Ash ends up with the title-but it's been clear from the start that this was the destination in mind. ABE vs Jordynne Grace.

After defeating Heather Reckless in her usual brand of squash match, Ash would attack her opponent further, and would even set up to hit the Juggernaut Driver, before the champ came done to the ring and broke things up. Grace would lay the beatdown on Ash, but Ash ended the segment on top, a distraction from the Personal Concierge allowing for Ash to hit Grace in the face with the Knockouts title.

#4 - Exposition Opener

Loathe as I often am to discuss promos in these reviews, this week's opening address from the System camr with some noteworthy moments and news. The first of said moments was the explanation of the newly rechristened Johnny Dango Curtis, who explained why he came to the System's aid in Moose'se title defence against Matt Hardy at Against All Odds. Though not officially part of the System, just an ally, he has thrown his lot in with the Edwards, Myers, and Moose.

One step forward, and two steps back however, as out would come Santino Marella. He would announce the Road to Slammiversary series, qualifying matches for a six man elimination World Title match at the aforementioned show.

(The first of which would take place later in the evening, being Josh Alexander Vs Eric Young. It isn’t on here but it’s just as good as anything else on the list if not better. Alexander would win with the C4 Spike to advance.)

#3 - Consistency

You’ve got to love it, you really do. Continuing their arc of regaining their confidence before claiming their title rematch, Spirefirr would have their first match as a team since losing the titles this week, facing former NWA women’s tag champs, the Hex. This was a great challenge for the team, facing a more well-oiled machine, a more experienced duo. They would need something big and better to succeed.

But succeed they did. With a new speed, new chemistry, and new set of tag combos to boot, Spitfire were relentless against their opponents, getting the win after a compact back and forth. They didn’t always have the upper hand, but they won decisively. I personally can’t wait for their rematch with the Malisha.

#2 - Huh.

It is entirely possible that Ryan Nemeth has, up until this point in his career, just been cast in the wrong role. Don’t get me wrong, the Hollywood presentation suits him, and he pulls it off well. No, what I mean is, he should never have been a heel when he’s so naturally good and fiery as a babyface. While not all credit can go to Nemeth, as JDC, put into this match by Santino Marella earlier in the night, puts in a great shift here, reslly doing as much as he can with the brief time provided to make Nemeth look good.

Nemeth looked good, but JDC walked away with the win, hitting the Last Dance to seal the deal. After the bell, he, Myers and Eddie Edwards would stomp out Nemeth until his brother Nic made the save.

#1 - Huh Part 2.

I did not go into this match with…any expectations really, other than it perhaps being a bit of a slog, but one that Kaz might be able to pull around. I admit, I don’t know much about Ace Steel outside of his alleged involvement in a certain backstage brawl down in AEW, but I have to say, he really held his weight and was as crucial to the quality of this match as Kaz was.

Yes Kaz bumped his ass off when needed, yes he played the arrogant heel well, yes he wrestled as cunjingly as a man of his experience should, but Steel was on fire. There’s no other way to describe it. Great selling, all of his offence looked crisp, and the little touches, like him attempting one last swing at Kaz before being picked up for the Fade to Black on the pile oc chairs, really added that much more. Kaz would win, but as would be a theme for the heels of this episode, he wouldn’t walk away standing tall.

Locking in the Crossface Chickenwing after the bout, Kaz would be sent packing by recent friend and student of Steel, and fellow Kaz hater, Joe Hendry, who hit a Standing Ovation on the King of TNA to save his friend.
