Glad to see Mara Sade get a good showing in the champions' challenge match, hopefully she gets a breakout pretty soon

Watching now. Did we literally start with no intro? Wow. Must be a packed show. We have the men's champion challenge first. Okay no, we have the theme song. Santana has the longest entrance in TNA I think lol. Nice little sequence between Santana & Elijah (and then EY ends that, lol). Wtf, Alexander breaks a pinfall with a slap to the back of the head :lol then he gets punched... and seconds later, we have a brawl. It's become a bit of a basic tag match after this though. Lmao Myers doesn't know whether to tag Santana or Ali, so... Santana makes the decisionfor him :lol Comms says that Slater will be in Ultimate X at Slammiversary. I'm surprised. Slater hits the Swanton 450 on Ali, but Alisha puts his foot on the rope. Wow, KC Navarro pins Ali. He'll get a title shot in the furure. Decent match, quite long though.

Arianna "... and Stacks" interview. Gia is so funny sometimes.

The Righteous segment. I have to say, that was well produced.

Ugh, and now we have Tessa vs Harley Hudson (who is minus Myla Grace). There were some very decent sequences here, but ...you know... Tessa wins clean. Lame. Hopefully they do more with Hudson in the near future.

Injury report. Yawn.

Lol, brief backstage segment with The Personal Concierge and Lei Ying Lee.

Stacks vs Santino next. Boo, Stacks got a roll up after Arianna distracted Santino. Indi comes out to stop a post-match beatdown, and wants a tag match. Of course it leads to Daria Rae coming out and making it a match for next week.

AJ Francis is up to something.

Edwards vs Aichner next. Lol, the ref spots Alisha before she can use the kendo stick and kicks her out. Best ref of all time. Now the System attack Aichner, right before Eddie taps. The match was good when they let them work. This is my first time really watching an Aichner match, he seems like a very decent worker.

Main event next. Damn, M hit a coast to coast. Mr Elegance tries to get involved but the celeb guy stops him (with an ankle lock). Lol, the Personal Concierge hit him but it had no effect. Brookside gets the pin on Lee, after Mr Elegance interferes anyways. I thought that was okay, but quite long. Some good stretches of wrestling there.

Overall, not a bad episode. Better than last week's. I think they made good use of the roster, there are some interesting matches that should take place at Slammiversary.
