If you carefully read my preview of TNA iMPACT!, you now know if Nygma’s crystal ball was right or wrong. And, usually, as springtime comes and hay-fever time comes back, the crystal ball strangely is clearer than ever (I sneeze, therefore, I am, it seems to say). It’s time to analyze what happened and what it means, as Sacrifice is now behind us, and Rebellion is coming soon, on April 27.
Targets: TNA Tag Team Titles
The Rascalz
The Rascalz defeated the Northern Armory. Eric Young on commentary was not happy. After the match, The Northern Armory looked to deliver a 3-on-2 assault to The Rascalz until Ace Austin made the save with a steel chair.
You’ll say, there’s no surprise in what I’ve just typed. And it’s true, you’re right. The fact is TNA released a bunch of exclusive promos on their website, to follow up the episode.
The Rascalz bout is probably one of the most interesting. As it was becoming more or less clear that if the Nemeth Bros beat down the Hardys, that was not only for the fame but also for the gold, The Rascalz announced they want the TNA Tag Team Titles. They may be less “mean” than The Nemeth but it means a lot of work for The Hardys in the coming weeks.
EXCLUSIVE: @TheTreyMiguel and @ZacharyWentz just put the TNA Tag Team Division ON NOTICE!

The Nemeths
Nic and Ryan Nemeth were in the ring to address their shocking betrayal of Matt Hardy at Sacrifice. Nic claimed that he was the reason for the success of TNA over the last year, and blamed The Hardys for sliding in and taking all the credit.
Nic said that Matt tried to drive a wedge between him and his brother, but he and Ryan are the greatest brother tag team in the history of pro wrestling. Leon Slater’s eardrums couldn’t listen to much more, he came to tell them to shut up, but he ate a Superkick from Nic Nemeth in return.
One year is nothing in the life of a company. The impact you make and the person you are defines the legacy you are willing to leave in people’s minds. Last year, Nic Nemeth seemed to be taking the right road. He has just screwed up all his efforts because of his ego. The ecstasy of gold, as always…
.@LEONSLATER_ brought the fight but @NicTNemeth gets the last laugh in the form of a Superkick!

Spitfire, Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley, Meta Girls
The Personal Concierge hosted a Championship Celebration By Elegance for the new Knockouts World Tag Team Champions, Ash and Heather, following their victory over Spitfire in a 3-on-2 match at Sacrifice. NXT’s Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson revealed that they’ve crossed the line in pursuit of the Knockouts World Tag Team Titles.
Spitfire, the former champs, was out next and reminded Ash and Heather of their contractually obligated rematch. The surprises continued as NXT’s Tatum Paxley and Gigi Dolin staked their claim to the gold.
I am a bit perplexed by the idea of Elegance. When I said in my preview that Spitfire should let them eat cake, poor Ash and Heather hadn’t even had the time to. Not one but 3 contenders at once, that’s strong and shows the idea of Elegance is stupid.
They are Champions, great. As we say, to be the man, you have to beat the man. But, to stay the man, you will have to show it against more men.
Explanation: being the champions is cool, staying the champions is another story.
EXCLUSIVE: @Ashamae_Sebera and @Heathereckless will face off with @gigidolin_wwe and @TatumPaxley NEXT WEEK on #TNAiMPACT!
Spitfire, @JakaraWWE and @lashlegendwwe are BANNED from ringside!

El Paso’s Mind Games
Sami is not done with Mance
Sometimes, the Nygma is a broken record, mostly with the people and storylines she adores. Mance had a squash match against El Paso’s talent. A minute and a half later, things were wrapped.
They left the building to be powdered and attacked by Sami Callihan. DOA Santino Marella was not too far to stop them (magic) and asked security to “cuff these animals before they kill each other.”
What did you expect? There will end in a blood bath, or nothing.

Chavo is not afraid of AJ Francis
Chavo Guerrero Jr. made his highly-anticipated return as a guest on the FIR$T CLA$$ Penthou$e. A.J. Francis and KC Navarro insulted the fans in El Paso, but Frankie Kazarian reminded Chavo that they have unfinished business from many years ago.
To be precise, Kazarian is locked in 2012/2013, when Kaz and Chris Daniels were involved in a feud with Hernandez and Guerrero, with the TNA World Tag Team Titles on the line. Honestly, when you have a Call Your Shot Gauntlet trophy in hand, which means your future is bright if you cash it at the right moment, why focus on the past?
Advice from Nygma to Kaz, my psychologist is excellent for everything past.
.@Laredokidpro1, @OctagonJrAAA and @mexwarrior vs. @FrankieKazarian, @AJFrancis410 and @KCwrestles NEXT WEEK?!

“Surprize…”
I try to find the best nickname for Arianne Grace. Mini Milan Miracle? Miss NXTNA?
A bit complicated as, when it comes to being the liaison between the 2 companies, things end up messy for “Miss NXT.” In less than a week, five new NXT women wrestlers have crossed the lines. The Elegances now have 2 NXT teams running after their newly won titles.
TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich was just rid of Cora Jade, and here came Jacy Jayne, supported by Tessa Blanchard. Director of Authority Santino Marella, Arianna’s Daddy, announced that Slamovich and Jayne will face off 1-on-1 next week, with Blanchard banned from ringside.
When it comes to making mistakes, Miss NXT is here. When it comes to solving them, DOA Santino is, as usual, himself.

The Nygma’s Last Word(s)
As Hannibal Smith said, I love it when a plan comes together. When the crystal ball is that damn good, it means the Nygma definitely had what she wanted.
This Fallout episode was stacked and good. The Road to Rebellion seems to be Milan-Miracled…
The Nutcracking spirit that has been my signature for many years now makes me say to you, don’t fall in the apples too fast (French way to say not to faint), that’s just a Nygma point of view.
.@SteveMaclin WILL NOT join The Northern Armory!
