TNA IMPACT WRESTLING: JUNE 27, 2024 RESULTS

#5 - Mobilise the Malisha

After a confrontation between Jordynne Grace and Ash by Elegance started the show, our first match of the evening would be Masha Slamovich, accompanied by her tag partner Alisha Edwards, Vs Xia Brookside. An interesting clash of styles and personalities, this was a fun, tightly worked match to kick things off.

While the two would traps holds to start, Masha’s aggression came through in the form of hair whips, strikes and suplexes. Xia would endeavour to fight through, even seeming to have Masha’s number at certain points, but each time, interference from Alisha saved Russian Dynamite. After knocking Alisha off the apron in one such example of interference, Xia would turn around into the Snow Plow, and Masha would get the pin and the win.

#4 - Frontman Fumbles

Alan Angels was back in action this week, against the also returning Kushida. Looking to get back on track after his encounters with Jonathan Gresham’s black ink, Kushida made short work of Angels, who despite rushing his opponent at the start of the match and trying to take control, was outclassed by the Timesplitter. After scoring a submission win with the Hoverboard Lock, Kushida would be attacked by a suit-clad Gresham, who was pulled away by security before he could ahain infect Kushida with the black ink.

#3 - Wanted In First Class

In one of two Road to Slammiversary matches from this week, Nic Nemeth took on Rich Swann of First Class in the evening’s main event. A video package playing for both men before the bout, with respect exchanged between the two opponents, this was as good as you’d expect. Swann as a heel has been delightfully refreshing, and Nemeth meshed perfectly with Swann, keeping pace and selling his ass off. The win would, as most would expect, go to Nemeth, but neither man would have looked bad in defeat here.

#2 - Front Towards Death Machine

In the other Road to Slammiversary match of the evening, Sami Callihan battled Steve Maclin in what was an intensely physically, closely fought affair.

Full of stiff strikes, near falls and a palpable tension, the two wasted no time going after each other, a Busaiku Knee and Cactus Special hit within the first minute of the match. Maclin would win the day here, enduring multiple Cactus Specials as well as a Death Valley Driver off the turnbuckles to hit the KIA for the pin.

#1 - 2 Sweet Not To Be Champs

I did not expect to enjoy this match as much as I did. A triple threat tag match, featuring ABC, the Rascalz and Cody Deaner and Jake Something, this match hit all the right beats and turned what was on paper, a filler match designed to give ABC momentum before claiming their title rematch, into the most fun to watch match of the night.

Everyone just did their jobs, and did them well, though the MVP of the match was, as he often is, the aforementioned Mr Something, whose power, agility and innovative use of both made for some ridiculously enjoyable spots towards the end of the bout. Countering a hurricanrana twice into a powerbomb, as well as a dive into a Gourdbuster, Something neutralised the Rascalz, but was unable to neutralise ABC, who would stun him long enough to hit the 1 2 Sweet on Deaner to get the win.
