TNA IMPACT WRESTLING: JULY 4, 2024 RESULTS

#5 - Misfire for Spitfire

Falling into a slump after losing the Knockouts Tag titles, Spitfire have been getting back on track as of late, the guidance of Lars Frederiksen helping them regain their mojo. Despite scoring a few impressive wins however, Lars wasn’t convinced the team were ready for their title rematch yet, and ordered them into a 10 minute match with each other, with the goal of knowing their partner as well as themselves.

The duo made the most of their 10 minutes, Luna pulling ahead early, willing to hit a little harder than Threat, but by the end of the match, both women were giving it their all. The time limit expired as both women lay hurting after Threat kicked out of a Superplex/Falcon Arrow Combo. Pleading for five more minutes, they instead received a beatdown from the reigning champs, the Malisha, likely setting up the title match for Slammiversary.

#4 I Didn’t Think I’d Get This Far

Speaking of Slammiversary, the Road to Slammiversary qualifying matches, deciding who will be part of the six man elimination match for the World Title at the event, continued this week, with the first of said matches being Frankie Kazarian Vs Mike Santana. The veteran craftiness of Kaz Vs Santana’s will and explosive power, this was a great game of cat and mouse, that at times felt more like a matador and a bull, Kaz baiting Santana into mistakes and close calls. The end of the match, however, was unexpected.

Moose had said to Johnny Dango Curtis that one man in the qualifying matches worried him, and this apparently was Mike Santana, as interference from JDC ended up costing Santana the match. Pushed into the ring post when the ref wasn’t watching, Santana staggered to his feet, bleeding while doing so, but was unable to make it back into the ring before 10, meaning, for once, the heel won by count out, and also that Kaz advances to the title match at Slammiversary.

#3 - Don’t Trust the System

This week, for the first time in eight years, Reby Hardy fought in a wrestling ring, competing alongside her husband Matt against Eddie and Alisha Edwards. Prompted by Reby being caught in the crossfire over the last few weeks due to Matt’s war with the System, the two husband and wife teams squared off this week, with, for once, karma biting the Edwards family in the ass.

The Hardys had the advantage early on, Alisha avoiding Reby, Matt dominating Eddie. Momentum would shift towards Eddie and Alisha for most of the match, the interference of Brian Myers playing a factor, but eventually, Myers would be ejected from ringside, and soon after, Alisha’s arguing with and distracting the referee let Reby land a low blow on Eddie. Two Twists of Fate later, The Hardys were your victors.

#2 - Folded Like An Accordion

This week’s edition of Impact started off with a match between Trey Miguel, accompanied as always by Zachary Wentz, and the Youngest in Charge, Leon Slater. The two were having a very competitive, exciting match, until a one man wrecking crew in the form of Charlie Dempsey showed up.

Knocking Slater off the top turnbuckle, laying out Wentz, stomping out Miguel, and even suplexing the ref, Dempsey laid waste to everyone in sight, and would finish his attack by locking a disgusting Modified Bow and Arrow, before standing down and walking away when security showed up.

#1 - We Believe In Something

The final Road to Slammiversary qualifier, Joe Hendry Vs Jake Something, main-evented this week’s show, and what a main event it was. A battle of two big, ridiculously strong men, the crowd were, without a doubt, behind Hendry, but Something wasn’t unloved either. Most notable of the match was Something’s usual explosive speed and power, and the feats of strength from Hendry. An early stalling suplex, a Fallaway Slam, and lastly an all time great Standing Ovation, and Hendry got the win. Cutting a fiery promo after the match, Hendry pledged to become the face of TNA at Slammiversary.
