Watching now. Starting off with the Angel Warriors... and lmfao the Personal Concierge is doing the "Mexican national anthem", that's crazy. The Elegances come out. Feels like a fairly basic tag match but then it heats up a bit with the Angel Warriors doing some combo moves on Maggie (who then kicks Xia). Oh, Dani attacks Lee and the Elegances pin Xia.

Omg Santino in casual clothing. "Tom & Jerry" LMAO. Took me a second. And I guess the camera goes right up to Santino's face before we cut away.

Stacks drops the title to Maclin next week?

Wow, Slater vs Moose vs Alexander at Genesis. I wonder if its a way to get the title off him without letting him get pinned (and then he goes to NXT). Or it's just a banger match!

Elijah vs Ali... well I'll keep an open mind.

For now, we have Ali vs Home Town Man. I feel like HTM is booked quite strongly but Ali should get a clean win. Good match so far. Nope, the Good Hands distract HTM and then Ali hits a splash. I feel like you don't need to protect HTM, or get extra heat on Ali by cheating. Give him a solid clean win so he looks good. And now they're going to use a chair... but Elijah is here. Kind of funny how he tricked the Good Hands.

Rascalz talk to Santino about an X Division title shot. Kind of poorly miced but it will be Trey, Wentz or Dez vs Slater on the AMC premiere. That's fun. Maybe that will open the show.

NXT recap. Yeah we show Moose getting jobbed out.

Next up... the NXT Outlaws? No way is this story still going to keep going. Lmao Stacks dropping a crazy line.

Who the F is Krystal... oh... right we can't just be normal in this company. Fast forward. Oh Jada Stone is here. 3 on 3 tag match. I think Jada may have landed bad? She seems fine actually so idk. Mila looks huge next to Jada lol. Okay that happened.

The injury report... LMAO the list of "cleared", what is this ffs.

We get to hear the Righteous' banger theme. "The two of you drugged me into a Hardy shrine" lmao. Oh my god Matt has a GOATs hoodie. Wtf does Dutch do with his tongue :lol Idk wtf this promo was, but we'll see what happens next.

Slater is on comms. Oh it's not Dez, it's Myron. I don't remember Dez challenging for the title, so surely it should be him here? Idk. I'm just going to roll with it. Slater is so funny just using all the slang. How many times are they gonna do the same spot where they bicker lmao. Anyways it's a fun match. Hmm we're getting Slater vs Reed 2? I'm surprised they're doing another rematch. Unless... are Wentz and Trey leaving? I wouldn't be surprised.

The System promo. Sigh. Do you wanna--- NO. Lmao I'm getting ragebaited regularly by these people. Damn JDC gave Eddie a smooch. I've just realised... JDC is getting a better send off than Sami (well, kind of). Hmm next week, System vs ... well, TNA All Stars I guess.

Hardys have another weird shrine in their dressing room, courtesy of the Righteous.

Main event time. Is this the first time we actually get Bear's entrance? We're off to a decent start. Frankie walks off but Bronson gets him back into the ring. Also cameo from Silva, because of course. Damn, Bronson hit a dive. I thought that roll up was gonna be it. Kaz hits the Fade to Black and wins. Now Silva gets himself on TV. It's nice they gave Kaz a clean win. Decent match.

Santana is out here now. Oh shit Kaz vs Santana on AMC? Hmm I wonder why. Okay, theory. It ends dirty and then they do a rematch at Genesis, where Santana wins. Idk what else they could do for Genesis. Lmao their big 4 PPV no longer has a main event I guess. Alas, we shall see.

Overall, an alright episode. I thought it dragged in parts but there was some solid build to the AMC premiere & Genesis. I also thought the main event was fun.
