Thursday Night iMPACT Review – The Nygma’s View
The Angels turned Warriors
Xia Brookside hit the iMPACT zone to address her upcoming match at TNA Slammiversary against her former best friend. Her favorite part was the look on Léi Ying Lee’s face when she betrayed her. She is confident that she is going to walk away with the TNA Knockouts World Championship at TNA Slammiversary.
TNA Knockouts World Champion Léi Ying Lee interrupted. She saw Brookside for who she really is, and she didn’t want to wait until Slammiversary. Lee attacked Brookside, and security flooded the ring to break it up. Lee fought through security, and Brookside used it to her advantage. Brookside pulled security into Lee’s path to escape.

Out of control
Gia Miller was with TNA World Champion Mike Santana about his match later tonight with KC Navarro and Nic Nemeth by his side. Santana said he is ready to stand united with Navarro and Nemeth, but is prepared for anything. Before the match, we learnt that if Nic Nemeth attacked Santana during this match, he would be stripped of his Call Your Shot trophy, and if Mike Santana attacked Nemeth during the match, he would be stripped of the TNA World Champion title.
The match was as expected, with Tasha Steelz interfering to the point of being ejected from the ringside. The Great Hands tried to take out Nemeth, and Mike Santana prevented it. Santana dropped The Great Hands with a Double Rolling Buck 50, and Nemeth followed with a Double Dangerzone. They both went for a cover and secured the pinfalls.
After the match, KC Navarro tried to keep the peace between them, and Ryan Nemeth attacked Santana from behind. Navarro and Ryan started to argue. Santana went to attack Ryan, but took out KC instead. Nic Nemeth dropped Santana with a Superkick. Backstage, Nic Nemeth was with KC Navarro after Santana took him out unintentionally. Ryan Nemeth interrupted, and chaos erupted. Santana apologized for attacking Navarro, and Navarro wanted Santana to get his head in the game.
The Ultimate-X Originator is in
Frankie Kazarian hit the iMPACT zone for The King’s Speech. He introduced his guests for this evening, Leon Slater and TNA X-Division Champion Cedric Alexander, before the Ultimate X at TNA Slammiversary. Kazarian wanted to know how Slater feels, and Alexander interrupted him. Slater could have made excuses, but he admitted that Alexander beat him. His victory ripped away Slater’s dreams. They both attacked each other, and Kazarian broke it up. Kazarian then announced that he is one of the participants at Ultimate X.
