The System’s Bear Bronson and Brian Myers are still TNA World Tag Team Champions following a victory over “The Wanted Man” Nic Nemeth and KC Navarro on “Thursday Night iMPACT.”

Two weeks ago, Nemeth pinned Bronson in singles competition after Navarro supplied a distraction to the entire System stable. Tonight, Nemeth and Navarro then officially worked together in an attempt to dethrone them as World Tag Team Champions.

Navarro seemed close to victory when he planted Bronson with a DDT. Seeing his teammate’s predicament, though, Myers prevented Navarro from further capitalizing with a pinfall. Nemeth responded with a superkick that sent Myers flying to the outside and a crossbody that wiped out Eddie Edwards and Cedric Alexander.

Nemeth’s moment of triumph was fleeting as Myers then leveled him with a spear on the floor. Meanwhile, inside the ring, a leg pull from Alisha Edwards shifted Navarro’s attention, allowing Bronson to drop him with Bear Down for The System’s win and successful title retention.

Bronson and Myers captured the World Tag Team Championships at TNA Rebellion by defeating Matt and Jeff Hardy. Tonight’s “iMPACT” broadcast served as the platform for their first title defense.

Following Bronson and Myers’ victory, Eddie Edwards and Cedric Alexander called out X-Division Champion Leon Slater and former System member Moose for another tag bout. In this case, the existing System lost, with Moose picking up the win for his team by pinning Edwards. Next week on “iMPACT,” Slater will defend his respective title against Alexander in a two-out-of-three falls match.

Kai continued by sharing how she was informed about her release, but was adamant about her gratitude towards the company, explaining that she didn’t think her dream of becoming a WWE star was possible.

“A phone call. Yeah, they usually do it like that and then not long after it will be online and things like that. So I had to like take a step back from social media just cause it is a lot. Losing a job in any sense is rough, but I never ever thought I would make it to WWE anyway. I think for me the whole experience was just like a pleasant surprise and even then coming back in 2022 … I was just very grateful to be there cause I never saw myself in that position at all ever.”

Kai also didn’t rule out the possibility of returning to WWE, saying that she’s not interested in burning bridges with the company but wants to prioritize what is best for her career first. This past March, Kai returned to professional wrestling under the name Charlie, where she’s had matches with Kris Statlander and Shotzi Blackheart on the indie scene.

Given the wording of Cena’s initial statement on the matter, I must agree with “Busted Open Radio’s” Dave LaGreca: Club WWE is coming, with Backlash 2026 marking its official launch. Whether we’ll actually like it, however, depends on the price tag attached to the yearly membership fee.

Per the company, a membership to Club WWE will unlock a number of benefits, including 24-hour ticket presale access to all events, select Superstar meet and greet opportunities, bonus WWE content, and access to exclusive WWE Shop collections. Members-only community forums and a rewards system have also been also highlighted. Even more is expected to be revealed, and considering Cena’s status as the commercial face of Club WWE, it seems fitting that he’d make the break down its full details at a premium live event like Backlash.

With that being said, I wouldn’t describe the kick-off of Club WWE as “history-making” or something that would “shock the very foundation of WWE.” Yes, it could be a cool “experience” for both WWE stars and fans, but could it really shake the landscape that much? I don’t think so.

That’s why I hope we’re wrong and Cena’s announcement is something entirely different. A physical Hall of Fame isn’t a bad idea. That’s an attraction that many would legitimately pay to see and immerse themselves in. Club WWE, on the other hand, would be an underwhelming result from such big hype.
