Against All Odds is just two weeks away and there’s a lot of work that has to go into the card. TNA wasted no time this week building the middle part of it.
Matches:
Ace Austin vs. Chris Bey: They entered the ring as friends and then left as friends. Bey won with a Rollup and was unable to hit the Art os Finesse on his partner throughout the match. This was a fun one.
Xia Brookside vs. Steph De Lander: PCO accientially distracted De Lander and Brookside took advantage. The romance between PCO and De Lander is cooking.
Jonathan Gresham vs. Sami Callihan: This new Gresham angle is weird. He got the win with a Low Blow and a Rollup but is far from the technical maven he was before. It’s worth keeping an eye on to see where TNA takes this.
Steve Maclin vs. Mike Santana: A no-contest as The Rascalz got involved and beat up both competitors.
X-Division Champion Mustafa Ali vs. Leon Slater: Thanks to interference from Campaign Singh, Ali was able to hit his 450 for the win.
TNA Tag Team Champion Eddie Edwards w/Alisha Edwards and Curt Hawkins vs. Joe Hendry: Ryan and Nic Nemeth evened the odds in what was a solid main event. Against the odds, Hendry countered the Boston Knee Party into The Standing Ovation for the win.
