The action is fast and furious as Slater takes out Wentz with a slingshot crossbody to the outside. Alexander protects Slater from double team offense in the corner, then soars with a dive to the floor. Slater puts Miguel away with the Swanton 450 to win.

Final Verdict: 3/5
Thsi week’s TNA episode offered a steady night of wrestling with some notable moments but little that felt essential. The opener delivered the best in-ring action, with Leon Slater and Cedric Alexander’s victory over The Rascalz highlighting the X-Division’s energy while setting up Slater’s clash with Myron Reed. The women’s match was more about the return of Tessa Blanchard than Victoria Crawford’s win, creating intrigue but cutting the in-ring action short. Mance Warner’s triumph in the Gauntlet qualifier added some fun chaos, though the match lacked major stakes outside the Bound For Glory build. The Hardys and Team 3D segment leaned heavily on nostalgia, with the Tables Match stipulation at least promising carnage. The main event closed strong enough, with Maclin and Mr. Anderson scoring a decisive win over Kazarian and Jake Something. Entertaining but inconsistent, this was a middle-of-the-road episode.
