Since yesterday’s TNA Emergence preview, this week’s TNA iMPACT episode brought its load of action and new matches for the PLE. Three more matches were added to the already loaded card.
Knockouts take center stage on Countdown to Emergence after Rosemary spewed green mist into the face of Indi Hartwell. As Hartwell continues her climb through the division, the demonic Rosemary looks to bring her momentum to an abrupt halt.
With only one Knockouts match on the card, TNA Wrestling had to add at least one, mostly with the TNA Knockouts Championship being defended at NXT Heatwave. Indi Hartwell faces the Knockouts veteran, Rosemary. The demonic Knockout said that Indi Hartwell must go through her if she wants to become the Knockouts World Champion, which is quite true.
Hartwell’s win would be a statement for the whole Knockouts Division, as Rosemary has set a standard for more than eight years. But, a win would also mean a lot of issues for Hartwell, as no one is more revengeful than Rosemary, which may mean more mist, more toys, and more matches.
BREAKING: @indi_hartwell will face @WeAreRosemary on the Countdown to #TNAEmergence LIVE this Friday at 7:30pm ET from the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena in Baltimore, MD!

Battle lines have been drawn as The System vows to restore order in TNA Wrestling. At Emergence, Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers will wage war with A.J. Francis and Rich Swann of FIR$T CLA$$, just one night after Swann stole the victory in their six-man tag team showdown.
The System is not a faction, it’s a brotherhood. When Trick Williams and First Class attacked Moose backstage, they attacked all the members of the System. On this week’s iMPACT, the returning Rich Swann used the ropes to make First Class and Williams win. The System seems not to be able to defeat the vicious alliance of the TNA World Champion, Rich Swann, and AJ Francis.
The fact that Moose and Trick Williams face in the main event may even the odds. When Swann and Francis could be on their own, The System has JDC and Alisha Edwards in their ranks. For once, I would be happy to see them interfere and give the win to The System.

Last week on iMPACT!, Mustafa Ali scored a big victory over Joe Hendry, albeit not without the help of his loyal followers. Now, Ali will look to continue his relentless tirade when he steps into the ring with Matt Cardona at Emergence. Cardona is coming off a momentous victory over another member of Order 4, John Skyler.
Matt Cardona requested a match against Mustafa Ali after Ali asked Agent Zero to destroy him, after Cardona won his match against John Skyler. Here is where the problem lies: Order 4 is a faction. The match is at least a 5-on-1 match (if not more on Order 4’s side). If Matt Cardona can be full of surprises, unless The System comes to support him, Cardona’s chances of winning are sadly close to zero.
