*******************

Sort of!

The action is only going to be non-stop until Sunday when it gets locked down at, well, Lockdown! This is the go-home Impact before the chain-link chaos begins and there’s some good stuff on tap. But first:

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mustafa Ali! The former International Champion came to the ring along with Order 4 to start things off. He grabbed a mic and asked for silence and declared a “state of emergency.” 

The emergency was Jason Hotch winning the International Title from Ali in front of HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER. Ali really emphasized that and then said that Hotch was a bad husband and the only reason his family has anything (including the creepily mentioned clothes on his wife’s body) is because of Ali. Hotch stabbed him in the back. 

Ali said that Hotch’s former partner John Skylar will fight Jason Hotch tonight to prove his loyalty to Order 4. I don’t know how he will do that, as it doesn’t really make much sense, but I guess we’ll see. 

-Backstage, International Champion Jason Hotch was interviewed about what literally just happened. Hotch said Skyler is his best friend, family in fact. Hotch then got emotional and said he’s not going to wrestle Skylar tonight, but — Oh hey, it’s Daria Rae. 

Rae said that Hotch will face Skylar tonight or be suspended or even stripped of the International Title. 

Rich Swann (w/BDE) vs Mr. Elegance (w/The Personal Concierge)

The best way to describe this match would be “Muppet vs Muppet.” Both Swan and Elegance have such entertainingly expressive faces and both can go in the ring. This should be nothing if not a lot of fun. 

The match started pretty fast as they went back and forth for a few minutes before M caused a distraction and Heather hit a DDT on Swann behind the ref’s back. 

Elegance fired up and pounded away at Swann before getting him in a literally 30-second long staaaaaaaallling suplex for a two count. Elegance put on a rear choke and then drove knees into Swann’s gut. He caught Swann with a German suplex and then a clothesline for two more. 

Elegance continued to dominate until Swann snuck in some jabs and laid him out with a backfist. Swann hit a splash, but Elegance kicked out. Elegance managed to connect with a double knee, but Swann kicked out of his cover. 

Elegance then set Swann up for Excuze Moi, but Swann countered it and rolled Elegance up for a quick three handing Elegance his first singles loss in TNA. 

Match Result: Rich Swann defeated Mr. Elegance

After the match, Elegance threw a fit and The Righteous showed up to “loom” over BDE. I mean it, that’s all they did. Loomed.

The TNA Knockouts Television Championship Tournament Semifinal: Jada Stone vs Heather by Elegance

It’s back-to-back Elegance this week on TNA! I have to say, this tournament has been an absolute blast and now with the second and uh, final, semifinal upon us, what are the chances we get an All-Elegance Final? M has already advanced, getting by Indi Hartwell last week.

Heather tried to jump Stone from behind as the bell rang, but Stone saw her coming and countered it. Stone went for a 619 but Heather dodged it and Stone sent her into the corner. Stone hit a dropkick and standing moonsault but could only get a two count.

Heather turned the tables and stomped Stone against the ropes after tripping her. She threw stomps in the corner and the suplexed Stone for a cover and a kickout. Heather held Stone’s head against the ropes and then whipped her into the corner.

Heather wrapped Stone up in a submission maneuver, but Stone pulled her over and then hit a clothesline. Stone caught Heather with a kick to the side of the head then dropped down in a split-legged moonsault.

Heather came back with a stunner and went up top for a double stomp, but Stone dodged it and rolled her up. They traded two counts until Stone hit a casadora into a double stomp. Heather rolled out of the ring to save herself and they traded punches on the apron, the most elegant part of the ring.

Heather hit a German suplex on Stone right on the apron as Mr Elegance glistened in the corner of the screen.

She went for another, but Stone had recovered and huirricanrana’ed Heather to the floor. The scrambled back inside to beat the count and Stone caught Heather with a Spark Stunner to get the three count and punch her ticket to the finals.

Match Result: Jada Stone defeated Heather By Elegance

-Next, Elayna Black and Xia Brookside got on a facetime call to tell each other that they plan to beat the other at Lockdown. If you stop and think about it, this is pretty great because they were the only ones on the call. That means Black intentionally facetimed Brookside to tell her that she sucked and is going to lose and for some reason, Brookside took the call. Any ways, Brookside thinks Black will fail.
