TNA IMPACT WRESTLING: MAY 30, 2024 RESULTS

#5 - Please No

Steph De Lander is a talented wrestler. As is PCO. This is not the best use of their time. What, you might be asking, isn’t a good use of their time? A love angle, that’s what. SDL was facing Xia Brookside this week, in what was a well-worked match, and when SDL went for a weapon outside, holding onto it, under the ring, was PCO.

He would save SDL from a dive by Xia, catching her, but this distraction would end up with SDL getting rolled up by Xia for the win. After the bell, PCO presented SDL with said love letter.

#4 - Ooze Infection

With the match’s referee masked up by order of Santino Marella, the man infecting the TNA roster with…something, Jonathan Gresham, took on Sami Callihan this week in singles action. Callihan was, unlike some other members of the roster, unafraid of Gresham, and was his usual bold, brash self throughout the match. Callihan got the most damage on Gresham since the Octopus returned, even managing to land a Cactus Driver on the apron.

Callihan was dominating to the point that Gresham needed to, upon the referee taking his eyes off the action, cowering from the black ooze that had gotten in Callihan’s hand after he blocked Gresham attempting to use it, hit Callihan in what Taz would call the yambag region, before rolling the Death Machine up with a sunset flip for the win.

The New Jonathan Gresham isn’t invincible. Cracks are starting to show.

#3 - Oh, You Rascalz

Mike Santana and Steve Maclin had their second encounter, a rematch from Rebellion, this week, a match that was on track to be every bit as good as the first, right up until the interference from those Ohio boys, the Rascalz.

Having been attacked by Maclin multiple times in the past few weeks as part of the ongoing tension between the two sides after their brief alliance broke down, Wentz and Miguel struck back here, interrupting the match and laying waste to both Maclin and Santana.

They’ve won the battle, but something suggests they won’t win the war.

#2 - Will He, Won’t He

Some people talk their problems out. But Ace Austin and Chris Bey aren’t some people. They’re wrestlers. Proposed by Austin last week, this match, meant to be an outlet for the tension between the pair before they sue their contractual rematch for the tag titles, was story of familiarity and frustration, hesitance and anger. As Bey says to Austin, “This is what you wanted.”

Bey got the upper hand in the earlier exchanges, which made Austin irritable, starting a trend of the two exchanging strikes. Before long the action was free-flowing and fluid, drawing equal, before Bey got the win by countering an attempted bridging pin by Austin into a crucifix pin for the 1, 2, 3. After the match, at several points, such as in hesitating to congratulate Bey, and suddenly moving at Bey when Bey was climbing out of the ring, it looked like Austin might attack Bey, but no such attack happened. Not on this day.

#1 - Trust In Joe Hendry

Containing his wave of momentum, tonight’s main event saw the man who topped the charts, Joe Hendry, take on Eddie Edwards. While normally in an Edwards match, interference might be a concern, the presence of Brian Myers and Alisha Edwards at ringside was neutralised by that of the Nemeth brothers.

Standard fare in terms of structure but done well, this entertaining main event came to an end when Hendry caught Edwards whilst Edwards was attempting the Boston Knee Party, hitting the Standing Ovation for the win.
