TNA iMPACT! After The Bell (6/5/2025) – Evens and Odds

About Against All Odds

Mance Warner and Steph De Lander are coming for Steve Maclin’s International Championship. Inside the Treehouse, The Rascalz looked ahead to their TNA World Tag Team Title opportunity against The Nemeths.

We heard from Joe Hendry for the first time since losing the TNA World Championship to NXT’s Trick Williams at WWE Battleground. Hendry apologized for letting the fans down because the TNA World Title is now in the hands of someone who does not appreciate its history. He was interrupted by Frankie Kazarian, who was critical of Hendry’s loss and vowed to embarrass him.

Following his confrontation with TNA World Champion Trick Williams this past Tuesday on NXT, Elijah vowed to capture the TNA World Title when they meet tomorrow night. At Against All Odds, warriors will clash as a warrior-mode Léi Ying Lee challenges a dialed-up Masha Slamovich for the Knockouts World Championship.

An emotional Santino Marella addressed his high-stakes match with NXT’s Robert Stone at Against All Odds, where the winner will be the official TNA Director of Authority. With Victoria Crawford by his side, Robert Stone interrupted and promised that once he is Director of Authority, he will ensure that Marella never appears in TNA again.

I said again and again, there can only be one Sheriff in town. A true TNA Sheriff has to have a heart, something Robert Stone doesn’t seem to have at all. Nygma says: I hope I will get up tomorrow morning (French morning) knowing Milan Miracles exist.

Leading to Against All Odds

Indi Hartwell defeated Tasha Steelz because Jason Hotch hesitated to attack Hartwell from the ringside. Hartwell capitalized with the Hurts Donut to win.

After the match, Mustafa Ali shoved the referee. He then pushed Steelz down to the mat, but Hotch came to her defense.

Mustafa Ali later told Jason Hotch that there would be consequences for his actions when they battled each other at Against All Odds. Nygma says: Jason Hotch is a gentleman, but Ali is too “Dirty” not to make him pay for his actions. Order 4 is about to be no more.

After crashing the Elegance Brand Product Reveal, TNA’s newest Knockouts, Myla Grace and Harley Hudson, battled Knockouts World Tag Team Champion Heather by Elegance and their latest recruit, M by Elegance. Grace and Hudson did one hell of a job, BUT the Personal Concierge created a distraction as Heather hit Grace with a Spanish Fly.

M hit the Moonsault to win. The whole Elegance brand will face Hudson, Grace, and Xia Brookside at Against All Odds.

Mike Santana, Matt Hardy, and Leon Slater defeated TNA World Tag Team Champions The Nemeths and Frankie Kazarian. In my mind, Jeff was supposed to be there, but he couldn’t be in Canada. Leon Slater proved he has the heart and soul of the Hardy family.

A fired-up Santana was also a perfect ally for Hardy and Slater. This time, no one was robbed, and the good men won. Nygma says: Like Hannibal Smith, I love when a plan comes together.

Unrelated to Against All Odds

Eric Young challenged Moose for the X-Division Championship. JDC was there, so were Judas Icarus and Travis Williams. With Alisha Edwards not at the ringside, fair play could have been on the menu.

Young has been performing Petey Williams’ signature “Oh Canada” move. I have loved to call it the NutStomper.

When Young had Moose beat with a Piledriver, JDC put the leg of Moose on the bottom rope. Judas Icarus and Travis Williams neutralized JDC on the outside, but the distraction allowed Moose to hit a NutCracker on Young.

Moose put him away with the Spear for the win. After the match, Young snapped and attacked a fan at ringside.

Time for the Monsters Ball! Rosemary gets a win as Xia Brookside was hardcore (when Rosemary naturally is). The toys list: Brookside’s jacket, a hockey stick, a trash can lid, hockey pucks, baking trays, a belt, a steel trash can, a staple gun, a door, and chairs.

A Monster’s Ball is a match to watch, not to describe with words. This one was a 14-minute marvel to watch here. Even if Xia Brookside won, Rosemary won too (even if she thinks she failed) as she revealed the hardcore demon inside of Xia Brookside.

Nygma has one regret: no candies and no tacks.

The Best of The Rest

• Spitfire may be done, but Dani Luna is just getting started.

The Nygma’s Last Word(s)

It was another good episode of TNA iMPACT! Against All Odds is definitely a show you can’t miss. I’m not going to push too far, I already previewed the PLE yesterday, but I want a Milan Miracle – a dozen if necessary.

Nygma is forever a TNA heart. I’ll see you tomorrow for the Against All Odds After The Bell. When it comes to iMPACT!, till next week, may the Nygma be with you.
