Two TNA champions kept their titles Thursday, but the closing scene belonged to syX. Amazing Red and M by Elegance retained on iMPACT!, while the Hardys walked into a Halloween nightmare. The night also moved Leon Slater and Trey Miguel closer to their world-title meeting at Destination X.
This edition covers the October 29 broadcasts, not Saturday’s unaired Collision taping. Below are all six TNA bouts, the key backstage developments and all six ROH matches, followed by the Friday viewing guide. For Wednesday’s Dynamite results and Queen Aminata’s championship story, see Thursday’s Morning Bell.
TNA iMPACT!: five ring matches and a horror-show closer
The episode came from Dothan, Alabama, with the November 15 Destination X event in Edmonton approaching. TNA’s official recap confirms both successful title defenses and the night’s developments.
M by Elegance pins Jada Stone, retains Knockouts TV title
Stone’s speed kept the champion scrambling, but Heather by Elegance interrupted a pin attempt. Mr. Elegance refused M’s demand for the belt and quit the group. M finished with a piledriver variation for the pin, according to PWTorch’s match report. Keeping the championship did not keep her entourage together.
Amazing Red pins Cedric Alexander, retains X Division title
Alexander attacked Red’s back and neck and countered an early Code Red attempt. Red recovered with a second-rope DDT and finally hit Code Red for the pin. The veteran champion survived Alexander’s power rather than letting the challenger dictate the finish.
Zer0 pins BDE, then overwhelms the rescue attempt
BDE attacked quickly and landed his Clip Cutter, but Zer0 answered with a forearm and a chokebomb to win. Zer0 kept attacking afterward, taking down Rich Swann and security. TNA’s on-screen injury report later listed BDE under evaluation and Mustafa Ali out with a rib injury. Those were broadcast updates, not independently obtained medical diagnoses.
AJ Francis pins John Skyler
Expressions repeatedly distracted Skyler. When Mila Moore was knocked from the apron, Skyler’s attention shifted to her. Francis capitalized with a spear and Down Payment for the pin. Skyler had threatened an upset with a slingshot spear and DDT before the ringside chaos decided it. Wrestling Observer’s match report details the title matches and Francis’ win.
Elijah pins Ryan Nemeth
Ryan used Elijah’s bandana to choke him, but Elijah fought back and finished with a piledriver. Nic Nemeth’s post-match arrival extended the brothers’ feud with Elijah. Elijah swung his guitar toward Nic, who escaped, leaving Ryan to take the blow. Wrestling Inc.’s live report records the finish and aftermath.
syX leave the Hardys trapped in the Slaughterhouse
The cinematic finale ended with Matt locked in a room and Jeff attacked after a trashcan was placed over him. The broadcast cut away after syX struck the can with axes. This was a staged horror storyline, not a report of a real attack. TNA’s recap describes the ending without listing a conventional pinfall or submission.
Fightful lists Samuel Shaw and Joseph Sawyer as the winners. The important distinction is the presentation: syX controlled the closing scene, rather than winning through an ordinary referee-counted finish.
TNA promos and backstage developments
Slater and Miguel: The champion credited his mother and sister for helping him reach the top. Miguel answered that his own long fight for a world-title opportunity was different. Their respectful handshake did not erase Miguel’s determination to take Slater’s championship at Destination X.
Brian Johnson and Daria Rae: Johnson arrived as the board’s observer of Rae. She could not simply remove him and instead told him he would see how TNA operates.
Kazarian and Ali: Ali warned Frankie Kazarian that Avery Styles would betray him. Kazarian rejected the warning rather than accepting Ali’s proposed alliance.
- The System: Bear Bronson and Eddie Edwards argued over helping Alexander. After the loss, Bronson challenged Edwards for leadership.
- Knockouts title: Indi Hartwell reflected on her championship journey. Shayna Baszler then declared she would challenge Hartwell at Destination X.
- Elegance tension: Elayna Black questioned Heather’s loyalty to M and suggested Heather also wanted the TV title.
- Shotzi: Her promo promised pain for the Knockouts division.
- The Righteous: Harley Hudson accepted their invitation to stand with them.
Also announced: Ricky Sosa will represent Belgium and Fabian Aichner Italy in the World X-Cup. Reunited Fire ’N Flava members Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz challenged Shotzi and Allie.
Next Thursday, November 5: Fightful’s announced-card report lists Eddie Edwards against Bear Bronson, with Bronson taking charge of The System if he wins and falling in line if he loses. Nic and Ryan Nemeth face Leon Slater and Amazing Red; Fire ’N Flava face Shotzi Blackheart and Allie. Harley Hudson’s initiation into The Righteous is also scheduled.
ROH on HonorClub: all six matches
Wrestling Observer’s ROH report records:
- Soleil vs. Brandon Cutler: Wrestling Observer describes Soleil winning with a cutter and pin. Fightful’s quick-results list names Cutler instead. We have not independently resolved that discrepancy.
- Scorpio Sky over Main Man Oro: Both beat the ringside count before Sky landed TKO for the pin.
- Lacey Lane over Cassie Lee: Lane countered a running kick into the winning pin.
- Los Colons and Serpentico over Dante Casanova, Chad Skywalker and Saeed El Sabbah: Serpentico’s frog splash finished the trios match.
- Lio Rush over Charles Crowley: A DDT and basement stunner led into the winning cravat submission.
- Top Flight, Alec Price and Jordan Oliver over Grizzled Young Veterans and The Kingdom: Top Flight’s double-team DDT finished Zack Gibson.
Segments: Opening footage revisited Swerve Strickland’s attack on Bandido. A video recapped Athena, Hyan and Maya World. The Kingdom promoted its Sparta AI assistant to its partners, then its reliance on that advice backfired in the main event. After Lee’s loss, The IInspiration said Lane would have to face Steph De Lander.
Tonight: SmackDown puts two championships on the line
WWE’s official October 30 preview lists Danhausen’s Halloween-themed SmackDown at 8 p.m. on USA Network. Sami Zayn defends the Undisputed WWE Championship against Trick Williams. Chelsea Green defends the WWE Women’s Championship against Nikki Bella.
Zayn comes in after surviving Je’Von Evans on Monday’s Raw. Green’s defense also carries Crown Jewel implications: the winner is positioned to face Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan. These are advertised matches, not results. WWE’s current episode page does not list the previously promoted Rey Fenix-Ricky Saints bout, so it is not included as confirmed here.
CMLL’s Day of the Dead card
CMLL lists its October 30 Arena México show at 8:30 p.m. Mexico City time, or 10:30 p.m. Eastern. Tickets are listed as sold out; the official page links to the YouTube broadcast.
Guerrero Maya Jr. defends the Rey del Inframundo title against Calavera Jr. I, Xelhua and Ráfaga Jr. The card also has Darby Allin against Hechicero, India Sioux against Mina Shirakawa, and Olympia against Persephone and Lluvia. A three-team match and Los Amos del Aire against Los Herederos round out the six-bout lineup. Stream access may require a membership.
