TNA iMPACT! June 18th, 2026 Results & Recap: Nic Nemeth Stands Tall, Broken Moose Arrives & Amazing Red Joins Ultimate X

TNA iMPACT! had one major responsibility last night: make the road to Slammiversary feel bigger, sharper and more urgent. At times, the show did exactly that. The Mike Santana, Nic Nemeth, Ryan Nemeth and KC Navarro story was the strongest thread of the night, Broken Moose teaming with The Hardys gave the main event a fresh spark, Ricky Sosa continued to look like someone TNA should be investing in, and The Great Hands once again proved they deserve a much bigger role than they have been given. But this was also an episode that exposed the same creative issues TNA has been dealing with across the board. The Slammiversary card looks strong on paper, but the road there has not always felt earned. Ultimate X has a loaded field, but too many spots were handed out instead of fought for. The TNA International Championship still feels underdeveloped despite Mustafa Ali being one of the most complete performers in the company. The Knockouts midcard has talent, but Indi Hartwell, Ash by Elegance, Elayna Black and Mara Sadè still need clearer direction. This was not a bad episode. It had good wrestling, strong moments and important Slammiversary developments. It just needed more urgency this close to one of TNA’s biggest shows of the year.

Here are the full results

• TNA World Champion Mike Santana, KC Navarro and Nic Nemeth defeated TNA International Champion Mustafa Ali and The Great Hands
• Ricky Sosa defeated Dak Draper.
• Indi Hartwell defeated Elayna Black.
• The System defeated The Broken Hardys and Moose

Breakdowns & Reactions

Xia Brookside and Léi Yǐng Lee kick off the show

TNA opened with Xia Brookside addressing her upcoming Knockouts World Championship match against Léi Yǐng Lee, and this was one of the cleaner stories on the show because the emotion is already built into the feud. Xia betrayed her former best friend, enjoyed the damage she caused and now believes she is walking into Slammiversary ready to take the Knockouts title. Lee did not need a long promo to get the point across. She came out ready to fight, attacked Xia and forced security to pull them apart.

This worked because it felt personal. Xia came across cold and confident, while Lee looked like a champion who wanted revenge more than another conversation. The segment did not overcomplicate itself, which was the right call.

The only issue is that the Knockouts title feud feels more focused than the rest of the division around it. Lee vs. Xia has direction. A lot of the Knockouts midcard still feels like it is waiting for TNA to decide what it wants to be.

Grade: B

What worked

• Xia came across arrogant, bitter and believable.
• Lee looked fired up and ready for Slammiversary.
• The pull-apart gave the feud needed urgency.

What didn’t work

• The segment was good, but it does not fix the larger Knockouts creative issues.
• The division underneath the title picture still needs stronger direction.

Mike Santana, KC Navarro and Nic Nemeth vs. Mustafa Ali and The Great Hands

This was the best match of the night and the best overall piece of storytelling on the show.

The stipulation made the match matter right away. If Nic Nemeth attacked Santana, he would lose the Call Your Shot trophy. If Santana attacked Nemeth, he would be stripped of the TNA World Championship. That created instant tension because Santana and Nemeth could not simply explode before Slammiversary. They had to coexist, and KC Navarro was stuck in the middle trying to keep everything from falling apart.

The match started with Nemeth and John Skyler, but Nemeth quickly tagged in Navarro instead of Santana, which told the story immediately. Nemeth did not want to work with Santana. Santana did not trust Nemeth. Navarro kept trying to be the peacekeeper, and Order 4 took advantage.

The Great Hands looked sharp again. Jason Hotch and John Skyler are too good to be treated like background players. They cut the ring off, worked over Navarro, hit crisp double-team offense and helped Mustafa Ali control the pace. The triple powerbomb spot on Navarro was one of the best sequences of the night. This is exactly why “Give The Great Hands a chance” needs to be more than just something fans say online. They can work. They understand their roles. They make their opponents look better. TNA should be doing more with them.

Navarro was the glue of the match. He bumped, sold, fired up, hit a tornado DDT on the floor and kept the emotional story connected. Santana eventually got the hot tag and looked like the champion he should be, wiping out Order 4 and building toward Spin the Block before Nemeth forced himself back into the match. That one moment said everything. Nemeth was not there to help Santana. He was there to control the spotlight.

The finish worked because Santana and Nemeth technically won together without actually becoming united. Santana saved Nemeth from The Great Hands, hit a double Rolling Buck 50 and Nemeth followed with a double Danger Zone. Both men covered members of The Great Hands for the win, which was the right kind of uneasy victory.

Then the post-match angle pushed everything forward. Navarro tried to keep peace. Ryan Nemeth attacked Santana from behind. Navarro confronted Ryan. Santana tried to get to Ryan but accidentally wiped out KC. Nic used the opening to superkick Santana for the second week in a row.

That is exactly the layered storytelling this feud needs. Santana is the champion trying to hold everything together. Nic is the manipulator. Ryan is the pest making everything worse. KC is the young star being pulled into a main-event issue he did not ask for. The only danger is that KC cannot become just a pawn. He should come out of this story bigger than when he entered it.

Grade: A-

What worked

• The stipulation gave the match real stakes.
• The Great Hands looked excellent and deserve a bigger role.
• KC Navarro felt important instead of just being present.
• Santana and Nemeth’s tension was built through action, not just promos.
• The post-match angle advanced the world title story and gave KC more emotional weight.

What didn’t work

• Mustafa Ali still feels creatively underused despite being the TNA International Champion.
• The Great Hands are still being used more as supporting players than future tag division anchors.
• KC being caught in the middle works, but TNA has to make sure he gets elevated from it.

KC Navarro, Nic Nemeth, Ryan Nemeth and Mike Santana backstage

The backstage follow-up was needed because it showed KC Navarro is not blind to what is happening around him. Nic checked on KC and immediately tried to use Santana’s accidental shot to get in his head. Ryan came in laughing and made the situation worse, while Santana showed up trying to apologize and keep focus before Slammiversary.

This segment worked because KC did not come across foolish. He knows Nic is manipulating the situation. He knows Ryan is stirring the pot. He knows Santana did not mean to hit him. But he is still frustrated, and that is what makes the story interesting.

KC Navarro should be one of the names TNA builds around going forward. He has the charisma, the look and the in-ring style to be part of the next wave. Putting him near the TNA World Title story is smart, but only if TNA follows through. The company cannot use him as emotional furniture for Santana and Nemeth. He needs his own defining direction after Slammiversary.

Grade: B+

What worked

• KC showed frustration without looking weak.
• Nic continued acting like the veteran politician.
• Ryan made the story more irritating in the right way.
• Santana still came off like a champion with a conscience.

What didn’t work

• The story is strong, but KC needs a payoff that belongs to him.
• TNA has to avoid making KC feel secondary in a story where he has been one of the best parts.

The King’s Speech with Frankie Kazarian, Cedric Alexander and Leon Slater

Frankie Kazarian hosting The King’s Speech with Cedric Alexander and Leon Slater should have been the moment where Ultimate X started feeling massive. Cedric is the champion. Leon is the former champion chasing his rematch. Kazarian is one of the originators of Ultimate X and has history that actually matters.

The segment had good pieces. Cedric carried himself like a confident champion. Leon admitted Cedric beat him instead of hiding behind excuses, which was the right babyface approach. Kazarian inserting himself made sense because of his Ultimate X history.

But this is where TNA’s Ultimate X build started showing the bigger problem. Kazarian getting in because of his history makes sense, but the match still needed qualifiers. Ultimate X should feel like a proving ground. Wrestlers should be fighting for the right to risk everything for the X-Division Championship. Instead, the field started to feel assembled by announcement.

Kazarian belongs in the match, but this segment should have been part of a bigger qualifying structure. Imagine Kazarian having to win his way in. Imagine Leon watching younger stars fight for spots. Imagine Cedric having to study each qualifier as the field formed. That would have made the match feel bigger every week.

Grade: B-

What worked

• Kazarian’s Ultimate X history gave him a real reason to be involved.
• Cedric and Leon still have a clear issue.
• The segment reminded fans that Ultimate X has history.

What didn’t work

• This should have been built through qualifying matches.
• The field started feeling announced instead of earned.
• The X-Division has too much talent for TNA to skip obvious weekly stakes.

AJ Francis “Inside The Music”

The AJ Francis vignette was ridiculous, but it was supposed to be ridiculous. Francis talking about Elijah not wanting to work with him and claiming he now owns the rights to Elijah’s catalog is the type of sports-entertainment nonsense that can work when the performer understands the assignment.

AJ Francis understands the assignment. He knows how to make absurd material feel intentional, and that is why the segment was not a complete miss. The issue is placement. With Slammiversary right around the corner, TNA has several major stories that still need sharper final heat. Comedy-adjacent segments are fine, but they cannot feel more clearly defined than championship programs.

Grade: C+

What worked

• AJ Francis committed to the bit.
• The segment had personality.
• It gave the show a different flavor.

What didn’t work

• It felt less important than almost everything else on the show.
• The time could have helped add more urgency to Slammiversary stories that needed it more.

Ricky Sosa vs. Dak Draper

Ricky Sosa defeating Dak Draper was exactly the type of simple, effective television TNA needs more of. Eric Young joined commentary, which kept the Slammiversary story in focus, and Sosa got to win clean while Young watched.

Sosa showed speed, fire and confidence. Draper gave him enough offense to make the match competitive, but the point was clearly to keep Sosa moving toward Eric Young. The Blue Thunderbang finish looked good, and Sosa came across like someone TNA is actually trying to build.

This is how you use young talent. Give them wins. Put them across from veterans. Let the audience see them fight through something before a pay-per-view match. Sosa should be one of the names TNA builds around moving forward. He has energy, he feels fresh and he does not come across like someone just filling space.

Now the Slammiversary match with Eric Young has to matter. If Sosa wins, it should feel like a real step forward. If he loses, the story needs to make him stronger, not smaller. TNA cannot afford to cool him off just to give Eric Young another dark veteran victory.

Grade: B

What worked

• Sosa got a clean, useful win.
• Eric Young’s commentary kept the story focused.
• Sosa looked like a future piece for TNA.
• The match had a clear purpose.

What didn’t work

• It could have used a stronger post-match hook.
• TNA still needs to make Sosa feel like more than just the young guy Eric Young is targeting.

Mr. Elegance gets added to Ultimate X

The Elegance Brand getting Mr. Elegance into Ultimate X was entertaining in its own way, but it also showed the problem with the match build. Mr. Elegance being added because he is apparently a draw fits the gimmick, and there is comedy in him being in a match as dangerous as Ultimate X. But this is still the X-Division Championship. A spot in that match should feel valuable.

That is the issue. TNA is treating Ultimate X like a stacked attraction, not an earned opportunity. Mr. Elegance may add character, but giving him a spot through an office conversation only makes the lack of qualifiers more noticeable.

If TNA wanted him in the match, fine. Make him win a qualifier in annoying fashion. Let The Elegance Brand cheat. Let him steal a victory. Let the audience be mad that he got in. That would have worked better because at least the spot would have gone through the ring.

Grade: C+

What worked

• The Elegance Brand stayed in character.
• Mr. Elegance adds a different personality to Ultimate X.
• It gives the match a wild-card element.

What didn’t work

• The spot felt handed out.
• Ultimate X should not feel like people are asking to be included.
• The X-Division deserved qualifying matches.

Indi Hartwell vs. Elayna Black

Indi Hartwell vs. Elayna Black was not bad, but the creative around it still feels messy. Mara Sadè was on commentary, Ash by Elegance and The Elegance Brand got involved, Elayna tried to take advantage, Mara stopped Ash, and Indi won with a backslide before everyone brawled.

The match gave Indi another win, but TNA still has not fully answered what it is doing with her. Indi should feel like a bigger deal. She has name value, personality and enough fan connection to be a major part of the Knockouts division. Right now, she feels trapped in an unfocused Elegance Brand orbit.

Elayna Black is another one who needs better direction. She has a look and presentation that should stand out, but taking losses in chaotic segments does not help define her. Mara Sadè has presence too, but commentary and post-match chaos cannot be the whole story. Ash by Elegance is visible, but visibility is not the same thing as direction.

This is where TNA’s lack of creative feels most obvious outside the International Championship. There is talent here. There are characters here. But the story feels like multiple women being moved around the board without a clear destination. Indi, Ash, Elayna, Mara and Jada Stone should be part of a deeper Knockouts division with real lanes. Instead, it feels like everyone is orbiting the same messy drama.

Grade: C+

What worked

• Indi got the win and stayed protected.
• Elayna got offense and still has upside.
• Mara showed personality.
• The post-match chaos kept everyone involved.

What didn’t work

• The story feels unfocused.
• Elayna needs wins and definition.
• Indi needs a stronger character direction.
• Ash by Elegance is being stretched across too many moving parts.
• Jada Stone should be part of this next-wave Knockouts conversation too.

Fabian Aichner and KC Navarro get added to Ultimate X

Fabian Aichner asking Santino Marella for a spot and Nic Nemeth politicking for KC Navarro gave the Ultimate X field more talent, but it also made the creative issue impossible to ignore.

Fabian adds power and credibility. KC adds speed, youth and emotional connection to the Santana/Nemeth story. Both belong on a major card. KC especially deserves a spotlight. But again, why were spots being handed out?

This should have been simple. TNA should have announced qualifying matches weeks ago. KC Navarro vs. BDE. Fabian Aichner vs. Ricky Sosa before Sosa got pulled deeper into Eric Young’s world. One of The Great Hands in a qualifier. Sinner & Saint represented. Let people fight for it. Let fans see who the company wants to build around.

KC, BDE and Ricky Sosa should be stars TNA builds around moving forward. That is exactly why a qualifier structure would have helped. Even the people who lost could have gained something. Instead, the show asked fans to accept that people could talk their way into the X-Division’s signature match.

The match will probably be great. The build should have been better.

Grade: C

What worked

• KC Navarro belongs in a major spotlight.
• Fabian Aichner brings a different style to the match.
• The field got more interesting on paper.

What didn’t work

• No qualifying matches is a creative miss.
• BDE should have been in the qualifier conversation.
• The Great Hands, Sinner & Saint and other future pieces could have benefited from the road.
• Ultimate X should feel earned, not assigned.

The System vs. The Broken Hardys and Moose

The main event had the most star power on the show, and the Broken Moose element was genuinely fun. Moose showing his Broken side while teaming with Matt and Jeff Hardy gave the match personality and made him feel different. That is the kind of weirdness TNA can still pull off when it commits.

The match itself was busy in the right way. Matt and Jeff worked over Brian Myers early, Moose played defense when Eddie Edwards tried to get involved, The System took control of Jeff, Alisha Edwards interfered, Bear Bronson used his power, and the hot tag to Moose gave the crowd something to react to.

Moose looked good once he got rolling. He hit the headbutt, the uranage, the senton, the dive to the outside and the Go To Hell powerbomb. The finishing stretch had everyone throwing big offense: Bronson with the chokebomb, Matt with the Side Effect, Myers with the spear, Jeff with the Twist of Fate and The Righteous appearing on the stage with a ladder.

The finish protected Moose while giving Eddie Edwards momentum. Alisha cracked Moose with a kendo stick, and Eddie capitalized with the Boston Knee Party for the win.

As a six-man main event, this was entertaining. As Slammiversary build, it had mixed results.

The Broken Moose idea works. Moose teaming with The Hardys is fun. The Righteous standing tall with a ladder created a clear visual for Slammiversary. Eddie getting the pin keeps his issue with Moose alive. But the TNA World Tag Team Champions, Brian Myers and Bear Bronson, still feel like props in a bigger Hardys/Righteous/System story.

That should not be happening. If Myers and Bronson are the champions, they need to feel like the center of the tag division. Right now, the belts feel important because The Hardys are chasing them and The Righteous are lurking around them. They do not feel important enough because Myers and Bronson are carrying them.

Bronson should feel like a monster champion. Myers should feel like the veteran mastermind. Together, they should feel like a dangerous team, not just the tag title branch of The System.

Grade: B

What worked

• Broken Moose was fun and should continue.
• The Hardys brought energy and nostalgia without dragging the match down.
• The Righteous with the ladder was a strong visual.
• Eddie pinning Moose gave their Slammiversary match more heat.

What didn’t work

• The tag champions still feel secondary.
• The titles feel like plot devices in The Hardys vs. The Righteous story.
• The Eddie vs. Moose feud needs to end at Slammiversary instead of dragging further.

Mike Santana and Nic Nemeth final exchange

The closing segment brought Santana out to call for a fight, but Ryan Nemeth came out first before Nic appeared on the stage. Santana was ready to fight. Nic stayed back, talked from a safe distance and kept playing the role of the smug challenger waiting for Slammiversary.

This was a solid final beat for the episode because it reminded everyone what the top match is supposed to be. Santana feels like the emotional center of TNA right now. He carries himself like a champion who has fought too hard to let someone like Nemeth take it all away. Nic feels like the veteran who knows exactly how to get under his skin.

The issue is not the feud itself. The issue is that the company needs to make Santana feel like the franchise, not just the guy holding the belt during an uneven creative period. The world title scene needs stability. Santana vs. Nemeth can provide that if TNA fully commits.

Santana should walk into Slammiversary feeling like the man TNA is built around. Nemeth should feel like the threat trying to steal that spotlight. That part is working.

Grade: B+

What worked

• Santana sounded and felt like the champion.
• Nic stayed slimy and calculated.
• Ryan Nemeth continued being useful heat.
• The segment kept the world title match in focus.

What didn’t work

• The show could have used an even hotter final physical angle.
• The story is strong, but TNA needs the go-home show to make it feel must-see.

Amazing Red joins Ultimate X

After the show, TNA announced Amazing Red as the final entrant in Ultimate X, and that is a strong addition from a legacy standpoint. Red is part of the X-Division’s DNA. Adding him to a match with Cedric Alexander, Leon Slater, Frankie Kazarian, Mr. Elegance, Fabian Aichner and KC Navarro gives Slammiversary a real past-present-future feel.

But again, the issue is not Amazing Red. The issue is the path.

Red being the surprise legend entrant works. The other spots needed qualifiers. If TNA had built the field through matches, then Red being added at the end would have felt like the perfect final piece. Instead, it became another announcement attached to a match that already felt too assembled.

Ultimate X may still steal the show. It probably has the talent to do it. But TNA missed a chance to use the build to make the X-Division feel like the future of the company.

Grade: B-

What worked

• Amazing Red adds history and credibility.
• The field is loaded on paper.
• The match has major show-stealing potential.

What didn’t work

• The lack of qualifying matches still hurts the build.
• Younger stars like BDE should have had a chance to fight for a spot.
• The match feels stacked, but not fully earned.

Overall Show Grade: B-

Last night’s TNA iMPACT! was a solid episode with enough strong moments to keep the road to Slammiversary moving, but it was not the kind of focused, must-see show TNA needed this close to one of its biggest events of the year. The opener with Mike Santana, Nic Nemeth, KC Navarro, Mustafa Ali and The Great Hands was easily the strongest part of the night because it had stakes, tension, character work and actual storyline movement. Broken Moose teaming with The Hardys was fun, Ricky Sosa continued to look like someone TNA should be investing in, and Amazing Red being added to Ultimate X gave Slammiversary another major hook.

The problem is that too much of the show still felt like TNA was announcing things instead of earning them. Ultimate X should have had qualifying matches. The TNA International Championship should have a stronger direction with Mustafa Ali holding it. The Knockouts midcard still feels scattered with Indi Hartwell, Ash by Elegance, Elayna Black and Mara Sadè all needing clearer individual paths. The tag team titles also continue to feel like props inside The Hardys, The Righteous and System drama instead of feeling like the center of the division.

This was not a bad episode at all. It had good wrestling, strong talent and a few important Slammiversary developments. But for a show this close to the pay-per-view, it needed more urgency, cleaner creative and stronger final direction across the card.

What worked

• Santana, Nemeth, Ryan Nemeth and KC Navarro had the strongest story on the show.
• The Great Hands once again proved they deserve a bigger role.
• Broken Moose was entertaining and added something fresh.
• Ricky Sosa continued to look like a future piece for TNA.
• Amazing Red being added to Ultimate X gave the match more history and excitement.

What didn’t work

• Ultimate X spots felt handed out instead of earned.
• Mustafa Ali and the TNA International Championship still need a stronger creative direction.
• The Knockouts midcard has talent but no clear structure.
• The tag team champions still feel secondary in their own title story.
• The road to Slammiversary feels strong on paper but uneven in execution.

Mustafa Ali and the TNA International Championship problem

Mustafa Ali should be TNA World Champion before 2026 is over.

That is not a knock on Mike Santana. Santana should be treated like the face of the company right now. But Ali is too complete to be stuck in a title reign that feels this creatively thin. He can talk, wrestle, lead a faction, get heat, create drama and make opponents better. Order 4 gives him a structure, Tasha Steelz adds bite, and The Great Hands give him credible support. But the TNA International Championship still does not feel like it has the direction it should.

Going into Slammiversary with an open challenge can be exciting if the mystery feels massive. Right now, it feels more like TNA did not build a challenger with enough purpose. That is a creative problem.

Ali should have a defined rival. The International Championship should feel dangerous. It should feel like the title for wrestlers trying to prove they can carry the company. Instead, Ali is doing strong character work while the championship itself feels underwritten.

If TNA wants a major world title program later this year, Ali should be in that conversation. He is too good to be treated like a side mission.

Road to Slammiversary: the card is strong, but the road has been uneven

The frustrating part about TNA right now is that Slammiversary does not look bad. Santana vs. Nemeth has a real main-event story. Lee vs. Xia has personal heat. Ultimate X has a loaded field. The tag title ladder match has star power. Moose vs. Eddie has history. Ricky Sosa vs. Eric Young gives a young name a real opportunity. The Elegance Brand vs. Allie and Rosemary has a clear contrast.

The problem is how unevenly some of it has been built.

The biggest creative miss is Ultimate X. There should have been qualifying matches. That match should have been used to highlight the next generation. KC Navarro, BDE, Ricky Sosa, The Great Hands, Sinner & Saint and other rising names could have all benefited from fighting for those spots. Even if they lost, they would have gained TV time, urgency and purpose.

TNA has to stop treating future stars like people who are just lucky to be around veterans. The company needs new pillars. KC Navarro can be one. Ricky Sosa can be one. BDE can be one. The Great Hands should be featured more seriously. Jada Stone, Mara Sadè and Elayna Black should be given actual direction in the Knockouts division.

TNA has the pieces. The company just needs to stop skipping the steps that make fans emotionally invest in those pieces.

Best Match of the Night

Mike Santana, KC Navarro and Nic Nemeth vs. Mustafa Ali and The Great Hands

This was the best match because it had everything the rest of the show needed more of: stakes, tension, character work, good in-ring action and a post-match angle that actually moved the story forward. Santana looked like a champion. Nemeth looked like a snake. KC looked like someone TNA should be building. Ali was smooth. The Great Hands were excellent.

The triple powerbomb spot, KC’s selling, Santana’s hot tag, Nemeth forcing himself into the finish and the post-match chaos all made this feel like the most complete piece of television on the show.

Best Segment of the Night

The post-match fallout with KC Navarro, Santana and The Nemeths

The closing promo was solid, but the best segment was the immediate fallout from the opener. Ryan attacking Santana, KC confronting Ryan, Santana accidentally taking out KC and Nic superkicking Santana gave the world title story more layers than a standard face-to-face would have.

It also made KC Navarro feel like someone with a real emotional stake in the story. That matters. TNA needs more of that.

Current TNA Slammiversary card:

• Mike Santana (c) vs. Nic Nemeth (TNA World Championship)
• Léi Yǐng Lee vs. Xia Brookside (TNA Knockouts World Championship)
• Cedric Alexander (c) vs. Leon Slater vs. Frankie Kazarian vs. Mr. Elegance vs. Fabian Aichner vs. KC Navarro vs. Amazing Red (TNA X-Division Championship Ultimate X Match)
• The System (c) vs. The Hardys vs. The Righteous (TNA World Tag Team Championship Ladder Match)
• Mustafa Ali (c) vs. TBA (TNA International Championship Open Challenge)
• The Elegance Brand (c) vs. Rosemary and Allie (TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship)
• Moose vs. Eddie Edwards
• Ricky Sosa vs. Eric Young

Final Thoughts

This was a good episode in pieces, but not a fully great Slammiversary build episode.

The opener delivered. The Santana/Nemeth/KC story is the strongest thing TNA has going right now. Broken Moose was fun. Ricky Sosa continued to look like someone worth investing in. The Great Hands proved again that they deserve more. Amazing Red being added to Ultimate X gives Slammiversary another major hook.

But the creative issues are hard to ignore. Ultimate X should have had qualifying matches. The TNA International Championship should have a stronger direction with Mustafa Ali holding it. The tag team champions should not feel like props in someone else’s story. Indi Hartwell, Ash by Elegance, Elayna Black and Mara Sadè need clearer individual paths. KC Navarro, BDE and Ricky Sosa should not just be names on TV. They should be treated like the future of the company.

TNA has enough talent to make Slammiversary a strong show. The question is whether the company can make the stories feel as important as the matches look on paper.

Right now, the card is there. The talent is there. The potential is there.

The creative just needs to catch up.
