Final Verdict: 3.5/5
A good episode of TNA this week. This episode opened strong with the men’s title defence and we got a women’s title match too! Interesting to see former NWA champs on this week’s show alongside NXT’s Cora Jade… TNA are really getting into this “cross-promotion” stuff these days aren’t they? Maybe that’s because their home-grown talent are all leaving? Whatever, it’s fun to see people not normally on TNA programming turn up from time to time! And to top it all off we got a fantastic main event featuring the outgoing Jopsh Alexander losing to long-time TNA vet Eric Young. Where does Alexander go from here?
