Order Four troubles cause last-minute addition to Against All Odds

Here’s what happened on the go-home episode of TNA iMPACT before Against All Odds on Friday night.

The show kicked off with a recap of last week’s TNA International Championship match between Matt Cardona and Steve Maclin, which saw Maclin retain his title via pinfall.

The first match of the episode saw Indi Hartwell face off against Order Four’s Tasha Steelz in singles action. This was a follow-up to an eight-person tag match, which featured both at Under Siege last month.

Hartwell took quite a beating early in the match, but nothing did enough to put her away. A distraction ended up costing Steelz the match: Order Four’s John Skyler started to shout at Jason Hotch, commanding him to attack Hartwell while she was recovering in a corner of the ring. However, Hotch’s hesitancy to attack her caused a debate. This caught the attention of Steelz, causing her to take a big boot to the head from Hartwell, then a Hurts Donut for the finisher.

An irate Mustafa Ali came to the ring afterward to chat with the rest of Order Four. After taking out the referee, Ali shoved Steelz to the mat. Hotch got in the face of Ali due to his physicality with Steelz. The rest of Order Four left the ring without Hotch.

Backstage, Skyler tried to comfort Steelz following what happened in the ring. They picked up a phone call, with Steelz telling the unnamed caller that they need to talk to Ali about what’s happening. Who could it be?

Ali forgave Hotch for their issues tonight (he notably didn’t apologize). He said actions have consequences, and thus the consequence for what happened in the ring is that he will face him one-on-one at Against All Odds. Mustafa Ali vs. Jason Hotch – that’s a new match for Friday’s show.

A promo from Mance Warner aired ahead of his TNA International Championship match on Friday against Steve Maclin.

JDC helps Moose retain X-Division Championship

The sole title fight of the night came next, with Eric Young looking to take Moose’s X-Division Championship. This match was booked after Young scored a pinfall win over Moose in tag action at Under Siege in May.

The opening minute of the match saw Florence, Ontario’s own Young drape Moose upside down in the corner and stomp on his crotch while the crowd performed the full Canadian national anthem. Moose got back into the match immediately after this spot. He notably chokeslammed Young onto the ring apron while on the outside, then threw him into steel stairs.

Young got on a roll later in the match, connecting with a piledriver for what could’ve been the finish. However, as he went for a pin attempt after, JDC at ringside put Moose’s foot on the bottom rope. Judas Icaurs and Travis Williams did stereo tope suicidas to take out JDC and hopefully assist Young.

The referee was distracted by this sequence, allowing Moose to hit Young with a low blow. He then connected with a spear for the pinfall victory, retaining his X-Division Championship.

A frustrated Young attacked a “fan” at ringside, pulling him over the barricade and allowing other Northern Armory members to attack him as well.

Dani Luna, who parted ways with tag partner Jody Threat last month, said that her “hurt” from the group’s split will serve as fuel for her next run in the Knockouts division.

Joe Hendry speaks on loss to Trick Williams

In a backstage promo, Joe Hendry addressed his TNA World Championship loss to Trick Williams (the in-ring portion of this week’s TNA taping came before their world title match, hence why this promo wasn’t in the ring). He mentioned his support for Elijah, who he hopes will dethrone Williams and bring the title back to TNA on Friday.

Frankie Kazarian, who will face Hendry at Against All Odds, interrupted his promo at the end. He put down Hendry, shaming him for his loss to Williams. Before walking out, he mentioned that he’s going to embarrass Hendry in Arizona this weekend.

Heather and M By Elegance beat TNA newcomers

Two of TNA’s newest arrivals, Harley Hudson and Myla Grace, made their Impact debut against Heather and M By Elegance in the next bout. This match was built on last week’s show, when the TNA rookies crashed a launch party the Elegance brand was hosting.

While Hudson and Grace had a solid showcase early on, the numbers game of Heather and M’s Personal Concierge at ringside allowed them to pick up a win. After the referee was distracted by the Concierge, both Heather and M picked on Hudson. Heather did a Spanish Fly off the top rope, then M scored a moonsault for the pinfall victory.

Xia Brookside takes down Rosemary in physical Monster’s Ball match

The co-main event of the night saw a grudge match between Rosemary and Xia Brookside settled in a Monster’s Ball match. This is the first women’s match with this stipulation since 2022 (and the first not featuring PCO in over two years).

Brookside entered the ring holding a belt, and Rosemary possessed a pair of baking sheets. Brookside went flying into a trash can wedged between two turnbuckles before the match went to a commercial break.

The match spilled to the outside upon return. A trash can made contact with Brookside again: This time, she was sidewalk-slammed onto the weapon. The Canadian crowd called for a hockey stick to be used. Brookside received a pop after snapping the stick over Rosemary’s back.

Brookside hit her Broken Wings double knee attack to the face of Rosemary as she had a trash can in front of her. Back into the ring, Brookside stood a door up in a corner of the ring. After a series of reversals, Rosemary avoided getting suplexed through the door.

Rosemary put numerous chairs into the ring, then also brought a staple gun into the mix. Brookside avoided a staple gun spot, instead unloading with belt whips to the body of Rosemary. Brookside then revealed a bag full of hockey pucks, which she dumped onto the ring canvas. Right after she did this, Rosemary got her with a staple into the body. Rosemary came charging forward but took a Samoan Drop from Brookside onto the hockey pucks for a near fall.

Brookside put together a series of moves, including a DDT onto a steel chair, but none of it was enough to finish off Rosemary. She set Rosemary up on a series of chairs that were set up in the ring. As Brookside was setting up for a spot, Rosemary suddenly shot up to her feet and speared her through the door. Somewhat surprisingly, Brookside survived beyond this spot.

Rosemary put Brookside onto a four-pack of standing chairs. Brookside fired up and got to her feet before Rosemary could do anything. In the corner, Rosemary tried to use her green mist onto Brookside. However, Brookside used the top of a trash can to avoid the poison. Brookside then hit her over the head with the can top, then scored a Brooksie Bomb into the four chairs for a pinfall victory.

Santino Marella goes face-to-face with Robert Stone

Ahead of his title match on Friday night, Elijah performed a poem about Trick Williams. “You wanna talk your talk, is that all you got? / Yeah, you won the title, but you lost the plot.”

A promo from Lei Ying Lee aired, addressing her world title match against Masha Slamovich set for Friday night. The video included footage of her training at the prominent AKA Thailand gym, owned by former UFC fighter Mike Swick. Slamovich responded with a video of her own later in the night.

In the ring, Santino Marella addressed his Against All Odds match against Robert Stone, where the winner will be TNA’s Director of Authorities. He caught the crowd off guard a little: He announced that his run in the Director role will come to an end Friday… But it will start back up a day later, after he beats Stone at Against All Odds and is reinstated.

Stone came out to cut a promo about how he’s going to win on Friday. Marella said the only way Stone wins is over his dead body. The crowd chanted “Santino” as the segment came to an end.

Mike Santana, Leon Slater & Matt Hardy close out show with win

It was announced before the main event that The Elegance Brand will face off against Xia Brookside, Myla Grace and Harley Hudson on the kick-off for Against All Odds tomorrow.

They also revealed that a special eight-man tag has joined the card: The System’s Moose, JDC, Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers will meet Matt & Jeff Hardy, Leon Slater, and a special fourth teammate of their choice. A full rundown of the Against All Odds lineup can be seen here.

The main event of the night saw Leon Slater, Matt Hardy and Mike Santana team up to face Frankie Kazarian and The Nemeths.

The babyface trio got a jump on Kazarian and The Nemeths to start the match. Slater worked as an “honorary Hardy” during the match, doing a few double-team spots with Matt.

Slater got a hot tag near the end of the match, coming off the top and to the outside with a crossbody onto both of the Nemeths as part of a sequence of moves. Slater got a near fall in the ring with a Blue Thunder Bomb onto Nic Nemeth.

Santana got into the match, scoring a nasty-looking Death Valley Driver onto Ryan Nemeth. After others got involved in the ring, everyone cleared out, and it eventually became Santana and Ryan again. A series of reversals ended with Santana scoring a Spin The Block for a pinfall win.

Santana and the rest of the babyface squad stood tall as the final image before Against All Odds.
