-Santino hypes a “really big announcement” surrounding the Digital Media Title
This last week on the TNA iMPACT broadcast, the cameras went backstage to Mance Warner and Sami Callihan sitting at opposite ends of a table. Santino Marella is in the middle, with security behind him. He said they both need to figure out how they can end this. Sami said Mance doesn’t belong here in TNA.
Mance said he came here and kicked in the door. He did what he said he was going to do – beat Sami at Sacrifice. Sami replied and said that they cheated by throwing powder in his face and not facing him like a man. Sami said they walk around like the Digital Media champions, but they haven’t done anything to earn it. Mance said he’s a redneck and whatever he takes is his. Cited that they’re the ones in possession of the belt. SDL chimed in and said they’re both the Digital Media champions and everybody knows it.
Santino cuts her off and said that he has a really big announcement about the Digital Media Title, and he’ll get to that, but for now he needs them to both promise that they won’t damage company property or injure any more civilians who get in their way.
Sami responded and said he’s not staying away and that Santino would either have to fire him or fire Mance. Sami called SDL a skank and said he’s going to send Mance out in a body bag. SDL stood up and threw a drink in Sami’s face.
It was revealed later in the evening that the “groundbreaking announcement” from Santino will come next week.
-We’ll hear from SDL & Mance Warner
After SDL threw some kind of drink into the face of Sami Callihan last week, we’ll see what the pair has to say about the future and what’s next for them.
-Masha Slamovich, Xia Brookside, Lei Ying Lee vs Tessa Blanchard, NXT stars Jacy Jayne & Jazmyn Nyx (w/Fallon Henley)
Last Thursday on the weekly episode, Masha Slamovich defeated NXT star Jacy Jayne with a SNOWPLOW.
Post-match, Tessa Blanchard came out and attacked Masha. Tessa beat Masha down until Xia Brookside and Lie Ying Lee came out and make the save. Tessa rolled out and stood side-by-side with Jacy on the outside as Masha stood side-by-side with Xia and Lee in the ring.
-Elijah vs Frankie Kazarian
Last week, the “King of TNA” Frankie Kazarian interrupted a song by Joe Hendry and Elijah, and immediately tried to upstage them with a song of his own – and also tried to put a rift between them. It did not end well for Kazarian, as he got struck by both men and then left the ring embarrassed.
Will Frankie get the better of Elijah, or will he be the one fleeing from the ring after defeat? We’ll have to tune in tonight!
-Steve Maclin will be in action. His opponent has not yet been revealed. Maclin recently defeated Joe Alonzo on Xplosion, and then immediately sent a message to Eric Young that he doesn’t need his help or the Northern Armory
A public “firing” by The System
I’m an attempt to deflect from their losing ways, The System is going to try and fire someone else publicly to make themselves feel better – **after recent news of all the backstage firings, I’m not sure running a segment like this is the best idea. We’ll see how it plays out.**
–We’ll hear from Matt & Jeff Hardy regarding Nic Nemeth’s attack on Matt Hardy
After the steel cage match at Sacrifice was over and their team was victorious, Matt Hardy and Nic Nemeth celebrated in the ring. Somewhere along the way, Ryan Nemeth got into the ring and locked the cage – that’s when the vicious assault on Matt began by both Ryan and Nic.
Ten days ago on the 3/20 TNA iMPACT show, Nic Nemeth explained why he attacked Matt. He said Matt came in and took his spot as one of the top guys in the company and stole the credit for TNA’s recent successes on the business end, and the overall buzz of the company.
Now, we’ll hear from Matt Hardy. What will he have to say? We’ll have to tune in on Thursday night to find out!
Knockouts Tag Team Match
Spitfire (Dani Luna/Jody Threat) vs NXT Meta Girls (Lash Legend/Jakara Jackson)
Both teaming are vying for a shot at the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Titles. Spitfire still has their contractual rematch, but NXT stars Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend are staking their claim as well. Lash and Jakara are trying to prove that they belong in the match as well. Will Jakara and Lash show Spitfire that they deserve the spot, or will Spitfire prove to Jakara and Lash that they’re out of their league? We’ll have to tune in tonight!
