The Best of the Rest
- The Elegance Brand was backstage chatting when the lights went out. They were left with a message from Rosemary, Allie, and Mara Sadé.
- Elijah was playing backstage. AJ Francis joined him, wanting to collaborate musically. Elijah preferred to be a drifter and walked alone.
- Director of Authority Santino Marella announced that next week, TNA Wrestling will bring back Champions Challenge, one for the Knockouts and one for the men. Each match features a team of TNA Champions facing a team of TNA All-Stars. The team captains will be decided this week. Daria Rae added that Santino Marella will face off against Stacks one-on-one. Eddie Edwards requested a match against Fabian Aichner, and she approved it. Mara Sadé asked TV star Keith Jardine to be in her corner at the TNA Knockouts Champions Challenge.
- Stacks told Santino Marella his daughter doesn’t need him anymore.
- Backstage, Tessa Blanchard attacked Harney Hudson.

Thursday Night iMPACT Review – The Nygma’s Last Word(s)
I will shock some of you, but I have nothing to say. Except this episode was fantastic. I wish I could find something bad to say. Ok, Arianna Grace and Stacks are irritating, but it’s allowing Milan Miracles. The Elegance Brand was in, but Rosemary, Allie, and Mara Sadè calmed them. No, I really have nothing to say…
With no PLE till TNA Slammiversary, TNA Wrestling will tiptoe its way to it. Then, it will give more attractiveness to the weekly show. You have to be there every week to understand what the company is cooking, to watch great action in the ring, to dig deep into the company’s soul. The AMC era is really something fascinating.
That’s all for the TNA Thursday Night iMPACT review of the week. If you want a dishonestly honest Nygma point of view, you’ll always find it here. In the 1990s, U2 was asking us to “watch more TV.” Nygma says: Watch more TNA. Till next week, may the Nygma be with you.
AND STILL…
