We’re now 7 days away from TNA Wrestling’s next PLE, Under Siege. This week’s TNA iMPACT! episode was all about it. In fact, Under Siege is a pretty good name for what has currently happened in the iMPACT Zone.
Santino Marella’s authority has been challenged by the “new” sheriff in town, NXT’s Robert Stone. Tessa Blanchard and Victoria Crawford rallied Stone’s “authority.”
TNA Champion Joe Hendry has a lot to deal with as he’s putting the title on the line at NXT Battleground against Trick Williams, 2 days after Under Siege.
If you carefully read my preview of TNA iMPACT!, you will soon know if Nygma’s crystal ball was right or wrong. Sometimes, it can’t make miracles. At least, it tries.

- Tessa Blanchard & Victoria Crawford defeated Masha Slamovich & Nikkita Lyons by DQ

The War of The Sheriffs
Tessa Blanchard brought a chair into the ring. Victoria Crawford was about to use it, but it was enough to tickle Masha Slamovich. She grabbed it to hit Victoria Crawford. So, Slamovich and Nikkita Lyons got DQed.
Slamovich turned her attention to Blanchard with the steel chair. Santino Marella wanted to restart the match, but Robert Stone said no.
Blanchard grabs a chair and regrets it! @mashaslamovich & @nikkita_wwe get DQ’d.
ENTER @MilanMiracle! THE MATCH RESTARTS!

Tessa Blanchard confronted the official liaison between TNA and NXT, Arianna Grace. Blanchard said that once Director of Authority Santino Marella is gone from TNA, Grace will be next. Blanchard slapped her across the face.
Later, Santino Marella was hesitant to make a match between Arianna Grace and Tessa Blanchard for Under Siege. Robert Stone interjected and promised to make the match official.

Like I told you, Frankie Kazarian was very Houdini last night. He said Joe Hendry’s name, and he appeared. He also had a Trick up his sleeve, but he didn’t make him appear.
Santino Marella wanted to do the Under Siege tag-team match tonight, but he was once again overruled by NXT’s Robert Stone. Instead, Hendry and Elijah will face two opponents hand-picked by Stone next week on iMPACT (Moose and Brian Myers, if you’re very curious).
.@milanmiracle was set to give us @_Iam_Elijah_ & @joehendry vs. @_trickwilliams & @FrankieKazarian TONIGHT instead of #TNAUnderSiege until @MrStoneWWE shut it down!
"Suitable replacements" NEXT WEEK!?

Brawls
Once again, the Rascalz were robbed. Mustafa Ali appeared at the ringside to make his goons win.
After the match, an unhinged Mustafa Ali assaulted Trey Miguel until Ace Austin chased him off. During the commercial break, Ace Austin sought out Mustafa Ali in the backstage area, but Ali laid him out with a pipe.
.@TheJasonHotch and @TheJohnSkyler get the win thanks to a SPIRALING @MustafaAli_X!

Jeff Hardy defeated Nic Nemeth. After the match, the Nemeths attacked the Hardys until Leon Slater made the save.
Indi Hartwell won her first match on TNA Wrestling against Kelsey Heather, but Tasha Steelz and The Great Hands barged into Indi Hartwell’s post-match interview. Hartwell got into a verbal altercation with Steelz.
.@indi_hartwell WAS telling us about her first match in TNA but @RealTSteelz took the camera time to speak on @MustafaAli_X!

Honorable Men
Not everyone knows how important Deaner has been for the company and me. He’s such a TNA man, a true gentleman and a true good human being. In my Nygma’s heart, his contract is a forever one.
.@CodyDeaner sits down with @TomHannifan to talk about his match with @TheEddieEdwards at #TNAUnderSiege and his future in TNA.

With Ace Austin injured, the TNA International Championship title chance fell into the hands of Matt Cardona. I put that in this category because it was the only match of the night not to end up a mess.
.@TheMattCardona is the #1 Contender for @SteveMaclin's International Championship!

The Nygma’s Last Word(s)
Brawl, attack, after the match… I am used to writing these words again and again. And the Nygma says: enough. This episode was a huge mess.
Only one match saved the episode: the TNA International Championship #1 Contender match. Why? Because there was no brawl, no attack, and nothing happened after the match (Jeff Hardy vs Nic Nemeth was a good one, but after the match, an attack and a brawl).
After a crazy-fueled preview, Nygma lacks words in her After The Bell. I love wrestling, but I don’t like soap operas. Sometimes, wrestling crosses paths with sopa-opera land, and I hate that.
There are so many better ways to build a PLE than making you want to jump into the TV to slap everyone and be sure they snap out of it. Till next week, may the Nygma be with you.
.@JEFFHARDYBRAND defeats @NicTNemeth but chaos ERUPTS as @ryrynemnem blindsides Jeff! @LEONSLATER_ makes the save!
