It’s main event time as Joe Hendry and Mike Santana go one-on-one for the first time ever! Frankie Kazarian tries to join Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt on commentary but is ejected from ringside.

Hendry hits a pop-up powerbomb, followed by an AA for a near fall. Santana bounces back with the Rolling Buck 50, followed by the Papi Splash for another two count. Both men exchange pin attempts with Santana gaining the upper-hand to score the three count.
My Score: 3 out of 5
News of the Night:
- The former NXT superstar Jakara Jackson, now under the name Mara Sadè, made her TNA debut.
Final Verdict: 2.5/5
Sadly, this week’s TNA continued the slump that began with last week’s uninspired effort. Rather than course-correcting or building momentum post-Slammiversary, the show doubled down on mediocrity, delivering another episode that felt oddly directionless. The NXT partnership – once a source of genuine intrigue – is now being squandered, robbing TNA show of any real energy or momentum it did have when this partnershiop began. While, once again, the main event and Knockouts division offered the strongest in-ring work, the rest of the card was lacking. Two weeks of disappointing TV in a row is not a good look for TNA’s supposed “new” era. The talent is there – the booking just isn’t backing them up.
