Grade: B

This was fine for what it was. It was pretty standard for the hardcore matches Warner and Callihan have both had, and they didn’t too anything too crazy, so it was relatively tame. De Lander’s interference sets up a likely rematch, but this was a good win to help establish Warner as a player in TNA.

Grade: B+

Good, competitive match here. Lee looked strong in defeat. Blanchard remains a very controversial figure, but there’s no doubt about her talent between the ropes. It’s great to see Lee getting more opportunities to shine.

Grade: B+

Very fun match here. Austin and The Rascalz work well together, as they complement each other. This also showed one of the best parts of the TNA and WWE partnership, as Dupont and Igwe got some reps against some veteran talent. Wentz scoring the pin seemed like a blow-off to his feud with Wentz, so hopefully everyone involved can move on.

Backstage, Steve Maclin discusses his upcoming match against Frankie Kazarian.

Eric Young stops Kazarian from using brass knuckles and hits Kazarian with them. Maclin hits Kazarian with the KIY for the win.

Winner: Steve Maclin

Grade: B

This was solid for what it was. It feels like it’s been ages since Kazarian won the Call Your Shot Gauntlet. He seems to get some wins but not string together enough of them to become a genuine contender. The story with Maclin and Young has been told well, and it’ll be interesting to see how that progresses coming out of this match. Young’s interference protected Kazarian, so it’ll be easy for him to bounce back.

Backstage, Spitfire discusses defending their titles in a handicap match.

Winners and new TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions: Ash by Elegance & Heather by Elegance

NXT’s Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend appear on the stage and stare down Heather and Ash after the match.

Grade: C

The Concierge being in this made it a comedy match, which took away from the action and lessened the weight of the title change. Jakara and Legend appearing added some excitement, but this was the biggest miss of the show up to this point.

Ali slaps Santana and rolls him up while holding the ropes for the win.

Winner: Mustafa Ali

Ali plays mind games with Santana by putting a cup of beer on the mat and walking away.

Grade:

Ali and Santana had maybe the best match of the night, as they both really brought it here. Santana has been built up as someone who could be the face of TNA, and he had a strong showing here. Ali picked up a solid win to help re-cement him following his return to TNA, and there will likely be a rematch given the tainted ending.

Winner and still TNA Knockouts World Champion: Masha Slamovich

Grade: B

Fairly solid match here, but it felt like it was missing something. It was a quality win for Slamovich, but this didn’t quite live up to the hype.

Ladder Match for TNA X-Division Championship: Moose (c) vs. Jeff Hardy

Moose and Hardy both get ladders. Moose stops Hardy from going for the title and goes for a clothesline, but Hardy avoids it. Hardy dives onto Moose at ringside.

Moose sends Hardy through a table with a Spear. Moose unhooks the title and wins the match.

Winner and still TNA X-Division Champion: Moose

Grade: B+

This was one of the better matches on the show. Hardy can still go, and he thrives in matches like this. Moose held his own, and both used weapons to add to the chaotic nature of the match. Hardy’s Swanton to the outside was scary, as he had a rough landing. Moose’s Spear through the table was nailed perfectly. At this point, it seems like Moose won’t lose the title and will instead cash in Option C.

Backstage, Mike Santana approaches Santino Marella and makes it clear that he wants a rematch. Marella books the match for Thursday’s episode of TNA iMPACT, and Tasha Steelz and The Good Hands will be banned from ringside.
