Looks good to me. Aries world title reign was possibly the highlight of the Dixie Carter regime. WWE made a mistake trying to pigeonhole Aries in the cruiserweight division. He should have been on Smackdown in the mix with AJ, KO, Sami, and Nakamura.

I still can't believe they didn't run Aries/Roode at least once in NXT

I wouldn't bet on it.

She managed to make her bad rep even worse during her short stint.

Yeah, she has a notoriously horrible attitude, but the booking really did suck. 

She debuts by beating down Rosemary after a run in, has a lengthy blow off match, and then gets booked to job out to Su Yung in under a minute.

That makes zero sense if you don't want the expense of bringing in workers to job to your main roster and decide to build a small pool of worthy contenders.

Solid show that set up a lot of new angles/feuds/directions. X Tag opener was really good with a ton of time, loved Sydal & Ishimori as a team. Main event was a fun brawl among top guys. Liked this week's flashback being Aries 2012 title win, still my fav TNA match/moment. With Borash replaced, I guess we'll just never see the announce table for the next few months.

I wasn't crazy about this weeks episode. The X Division match seemed like a match to have a match plus it was odd seeing Fantasma as a face after his initial heel run in the company with no explanation.

Hania looks impressive. Stinks to hear about the backstage stuff.
