The Nemeths cut off the ring and begin to wear Jeff down. Jeff is able to create separation and take out both of The Nemeths with Whisper in the Wind, before making the tag to Matt. The tide is turning as Matt hits Nic with the Side Effect for two. Nic bounces back with the Famouser, followed by double team offense from The Nemeths. Ryan grabs the title belt but Cardona leaves commentary to stop him from using it. Matt hits Ryan with the Twist of Fate, followed by the Swanton Bomb from Jeff to retain.
My Score: 3.5 out of 5
Final Verdict: 3/5
This week’s TNA delivered a middle-of-the-road show that had its moments but never quite hit full stride. The in-ring action was solid, with a few of matches showcasing the company’s talent well known for, but the pacing often dragged and the in-show “shows” leave a lot to be desired (and one shoulkd be dropped like a brick). Storyline progression was present—some rivalries moved forward in meaningful ways but a few segments didn’t capture much energy from the crowd. The tag team main event offered enough excitement to close on a stronger note, yet it wasn’t a blow-away match. Overall, it was a decent episode – not bad, not great, but serviceable. Which seems to be TNA’s motto in their “friends with WWE” era
