After pinning Moose in six-man tag team action at Under Siege, Eric Young challenges him for the X-Division Championship tonight! Young traps Moose in the corner as he sings O’ Canada with the fans in Brampton, Ontario. Moose gains control with a thunderous Go To Hell. Moose hits a Uranage on the apron, then sends Young crashing into the steel ring steps. Back in the ring, Mooes hits a step-up Crossbody but Young bounces back with a Death Valley Driver. Young has him beat with a Piledriver but JDC puts the leg of Moose on the bottom rope. Judas Icarus and Travis Williams neutralize JDC on the outside, but the distraction allows Moose to go low on Young. Moose puts him away with the Spear for three.

Match #5: Mike Santana, Matt Hardy & Leon Slater def. The Nemeths (Nic & Ryan) & Frankie Kazarian
The following is courtesy of tnawrestling.com:
It’s main event time on TNA iMPACT! as Mike Santana, Matt Hardy and Leon Slater join forces against TNA World Tag Team Champions The Nemeths and Frankie Kazarian! Slater delivers Poetry in Motion to Ryan. Matt hits the ropes but Nic gets involved from the apron. Matt is trapped on the wrong side of the ring as his opponents employ quick tags. Matt fights out of a Sleeper and makes the tag to Slater. The pace quickens as Slater wipes out The Nemeths with a handspring back elbow, followed by a slingshot crossbody to the outside. Kazarian sends Slater shoulder-first into the steel ring post. A fired-up Santana goes on the attack, still fuming over FIR$T CLA$$ costing him the TNA World Championship this past Tuesday on NXT. Santana hits The Nemeths with a double Rolling Buck 50. Kazarian counters the Twist of Fate from Matt into a Backstabber. This time it’s Slater who counters Kazarian’s cutter into the Twist of Slate. Santana pins Ryan with Spin the Block to win.
My Score: 3 out of 5
Final Verdict: 3.5/5
This week’s episode was a strong show that balanced chaotic brawling, standout performances, and storylines with real momentum heading into Against All Odds. The in-ring action felt more urgent than usual, with several matches stepping up in physicality and purpose. Xia Brookside and Rosemary’s Monster’s Ball was brutal AND fun in the best way — a gritty showcase that proved Brookside can hang in the Knockouts division’s wildest environments. Moose versus Eric Young was another highlight, a well-paced clash of styles that would’ve felt more satisfying without the interference, though it fits Moose’s smarmy champion character. The tag match featuring Matt Hardy, Leon Slater, and Mike Santana felt like a fun end to the night — fast, impactful, and just chaotic enough to keep the crowd energized. Slater in particular continues to shine as one of TNA’s brightest young stars. Even the shorter matches, like M by Elegance’s tag win and Hartwell vs. Steelz, did what they needed to do, though they weren’t quite as impactful. Hendry’s promo added some heart, but it was Elijah’s fiery words that really amped up anticipation for the title picture. Overall, this was a tightly packed, high-energy episode that didn’t waste time.
