BUT CAN DEONNA AND TRINITY COEXIST

Gotta say, this looks like a damn fine show tonight. The 8-4-1 match is intriguing and Nick Aldis seems like the safe choice to win. Loving the fact we get a 6-man tag street fight and a dog collar match on the same show too. Rest of the card should be pretty solid.

A title change on an Impact+ show was not what I expected.

Very happy for Shelley. MCMG still thriving in 2023 rules and it’s long overdue for him.

Thrilled to see one of my all time favorites, Nevaeh back in IMPACT even if it was short and just because they're in Ohio, but I hope she returns as a regular again. Fun little match against KiLynn, who is consistently great.

Kazarian/Eddie made for a pretty good opener. Tag title match also ended up delivering the goods.

Was most looking forward to Masha/Kelly and glad to see them get time to put on a show. Good stuff and would still like to see more interaction between them. 

Awesome match from Sabin and Trey again. Sad to see Trey's reign come to an end but figured it made sense in this feud. Loved Sabin's continuation of using finishers from X Division's past. 

Enjoyed Deonna & Trinity teaming up. Finish was out of nowhere but I liked it. Slammiversary knockouts title match should be epic.

Ohio Street Fight was suitably insane and violent. I love when Jake Crist hits the midair cutter and this one was nailed to perfection, one of my favorite moves. Good to see Fulton back. 

Absolutely shocking main event result. Thought there was no chance of that and definitely didn't feel like the right timing for Maclin to drop it, but at the same time, the unexpectedness of it all is kinda great. Excellent match overall with a big fight feel. Love the closing shot of Sabin and Shelley celebrating together with both as champs.  Wondering if he drops it back quick like when Sabin won it 10 years ago, considering Aldis has the Slammiversary shot.  Very good show overall and looking forward to the fallout.
