There goes yet another installment of “TNA Impact”, featuring wins from Elijah, Mustafa Ali, and former AEW star Allie, among others. As far as episodes of “Impact” go, it was a fairly eventful outing, even featuring the return of a popular incarnation of Matt Hardy, which we’ll discuss in detail down below. TNA Wrestling

In recent months, TNA Wrestling has sometimes lacked the very thing promised in its name: total nonstop action. Tonight’s “Impact” broadcast was not one of those nights, however.

In fact, tonight’s “Impact” produced five matches, five quality ones at that. To no surprise, TNA International Champion Mustafa Ali arguably delivered the match of the night when he defended his title against Adam Brooks, an Aussie that, at this point, should already be contracted by TNA (he’s that good!). Nevertheless, Ali and Brooks put on an exciting performance mixed with technical and high-flying moments.

Elsewhere, we had the first ever Walk With Elijah match, where Elijah and Frankie Kazarian were bound by a guitar strap while each being tasked with hitting all four corners of the ring for the win. With the action starting backstage, hardcore elements were quickly introduced, and once the men moved to the ring, it continued. In fitting fashion, Elijah then eventually defeated Kazarian by smashing a guitar over him and finishing the turnbuckle tour.

In perhaps the most underrated contest, Mr. Elegance bested Home Town Man. Still, Home Town Man managed to win me over. He’s one of those comedic characters I didn’t pay too much attention to before admittedly, but tonight, it was hard not to enjoy the fun that he and the Elegance Brand brought forth. Given the Elegance Brand’s position as hot heels, it was natural to cheer for HTM too.

TNA’s more cinematic stories — The Hardys vs. The Righteous and Team Rosemary vs. Team Blanchard — continued tonight as well. As a Buffalo gal, it was nice to see my fellow townswoman Allie pick up a win in her TNA return. As a fan of “Broken” Matt Hardy, it was even better to see him mark his return in the opening bout pitting his brother Jeff against Vincent.
