Pre-Show
Authority Clash Brewing
Robert Stone declared himself the new authority figure fans didn’t ask for, taking shots at Santino Marella’s leadership. But Santino fired back with a fatherly warning—if Stone’s camp lays a finger on his daughter Arianna Grace, he’ll drop the “Director of Authority” title real quick and become “Santino the Avenger.”
Rosemary def. Xia Brookside (DQ)
What started as Rosemary trying to lure Xia to the dark side turned into a full-blown meltdown. Rosemary taunted Xia with violence, and when Xia finally snapped, she unleashed a belt-wielding beatdown that forced a disqualification. Security couldn’t hold her back, and the crowd was firmly behind Xia’s darker edge.
Main Card Highlights
Mike Santana def. KC Navarro
Originally scheduled to face AJ Francis, Santana got a surprise opponent after Francis pulled out with “turf toe.” Navarro stepped up and held his own, dazzling with quick offense. Santana powered through and sealed the win with his Spin the Block discus lariat. Post-match, Francis attacked Santana with a crutch, and though Navarro hesitated, he ended up joining the beatdown. Respect only lasted so long.
Eddie Edwards def. Cody Deaner – Job on the Line
With his TNA career at stake, Deaner fought with heart and resilience. Even a loaded punch from Edwards wasn’t enough to put him away. Unfortunately, Alisha Edwards’ low blow opened the door for a Boston Knee Party to end Deaner’s run.
Eric Young & The Northern Armory def. Moose, Brian Myers & Johnny Dango
Post-match, the arrogant System mocked Deaner and disrespected the Canadian crowd—until Eric Young had enough. Backed by local heroes and even a mascot (shout-out to Hammer the Honey Badger), Young rallied Canada for a six-man tag. It ended with Young spiking Moose with a piledriver after some help from local politicians who disarmed Alisha Edwards. Border Brawl hype? Nailed it.
Knockouts Tag Title Match – By Elegance (c) def. Spitfire
Ash & Heather retained their belts in a No DQ mayhem-fest against Dani Luna & Jody Threat. Spitfire vowed to break up if they lost, and they might regret making that public. Interference from Maggie Lee tipped the scales, as Luna took a nasty bump missing a table. Trash cans, makeup accessories, and chaos everywhere. In the end, Elegance reigned, and Spitfire’s future is up in the air.
Xia Snaps (Again)
Backstage, Xia Brookside put the blame squarely on Rosemary for pushing her over the edge. Things are far from over between them.
Team Ali def. Rascalz, Indi Hartwell & Raj Singh
With Ace Austin out from an earlier attack, the babyfaces needed a last-minute replacement—and hometown favorite Raj Singh answered the call, even swinging first at Mustafa Ali. The match was a high-speed, multi-man frenzy. Singh had the crowd behind him until Ali pinned him off a 450 splash. Post-match, Ali lost control and choked out Singh, even shoving Tasha Steelz for trying to calm him down. Trouble in paradise?
Tessa Blanchard def. Arianna Grace
Stone banned Santino from ringside (no manager’s license!), and Tessa brutalized Arianna in a one-sided fight. Arianna rallied for a moment but ultimately fell to Magnum. Post-match, Stone rubbed it in by mocking Santino and ordering him to escort his “loser daughter” out. That didn’t sit well with Santino.
Knockouts Title Match – Masha Slamovich (c) def. Victoria Crawford
Slamovich survived a dirty fight that saw Stone interfering at every turn. Crawford (fka Alicia Fox) nearly stole the title, but Slamovich powered through a belt shot, a piledriver attempt, and a referee bump to fire off a combo of strikes and a piledriver for the win. Afterward, she called out Lei Ying Lee, but Stone interrupted to say she has to earn the shot—despite Crawford getting one out of nowhere. Hypocrisy? Absolutely.
TNA Tag Titles – Nemeth Brothers (c) def. Matt Hardy & Leon Slater
With Jeff Hardy unable to travel to Canada, Matt picked Slater as his partner, and the duo nearly pulled off a miracle. Hardy hit the Twist of Fate, Slater followed with a 450—but Ryan Nemeth yanked Hardy off the cover. The champs turned the tide and hit Danger Zone to keep the belts.
Santino’s Plan: Tag Match Challenge
Backstage, Santino plotted revenge against Stone. Arianna wants another crack at Tessa, and Santino is ready to bring the Cobra out of retirement. A mixed tag team match seems inevitable.
Main Event: Joe Hendry & Elijah def. Trick Williams & Frankie Kazarian
This match was all about building heat for Hendry vs. Trick at NXT Battleground. Kazarian tried to hog the spotlight, but Hendry and Trick eventually collided in a preview of their title clash. In the end, a misfire from Trick accidentally wiped out Kazarian, allowing Hendry to hit Standing Ovation for the win. A tense staredown between Hendry and Trick closed the night.
