The clips and emphasis on their pasts as partners actually made me think this was leading to something like an actual program between them.

Enjoyed the start of the show with Amber/Jessie running down and then attacking Americana only to have Santana come out for the save. Lots of continuity shout outs, which I enjoyed. Nice to see Santana back too. Was also surprised at how easily Gloria beat Stephy but I figured we were gonna get a squash since it came right on the heels of the opener and WOW doesn't do too many matches that get interrupted by a commercial break. lol Nice to see a heel vs heel in Holidead vs Chainsaw. Nice win for Holidead too. The main was great and the ending made sense. This feud NEEDS to continue.

I enjoyed Aussie's reign but Abeline should be a fun heel champ. She was a highlight when she was initially in WOW. Just wish the show hadn't ruined her return by showing her during the "next week" segment. Plus, her winning the title creates tons of new drama.

Was wondering where this random Abadon/Hogan match came from but it all makes sense now with the Julia stuff afterwards. Either way, good stuff from both Abadon and Kiera and should be an interesting feud with Julia.

As much as I enjoyed both Stat and Shida as champs, I can't argue with either decision. Toni has been killing it lately and Julia has improved a lot these last few months. Plus having the TBS Title involved adds something more to her issues with Skye Blue.

Mariah May should be a great addition to the roster. Her interacting with Toni could be fun. Nice to see Red Velvet back. And I see that she is still not afraid to die for our sins. I am going to need them to figure out where this Stat/Willow/Skye/Julia thing is going though. It feels interesting but directionless

Decent match from Adriana and Stephy. Liked the arm work from Gambino and the Nikkita Lyons shout out. Shocked to see the Brat Pack lose out to the makeshift team of Tiki and Chantilly. I won’t complain as a fan of all four but the Brats just seemed to have a bit of tag momentum lately. The new women seem to be good fits so far and Goldie Collins is yet another example. Cute promo and nice presentation on a gimmick that I initially wasn’t sure would translate. Kandi Krush remains the trial for the newbies lol Dug the Tiki package as if I didn’t think she was adorable enough already. No surprise that Tormena/Aussie was going good up until the end. Love all of the post match antics and drama.

About the only thing I found interesting was Kairi's return.

Nice moment for Shida. I was in the minority in that I didn't mind the Saraya reign. I like when there's a hateable heel champ for faces to chase. But Shida has been the division's silent killer. Over, without some crazy personality, and delivering solid matches with pretty much most of her opponents including the limited Saraya last night. So, if anyone deserves the history making claim as first 3 time women's champ, it's her.

Stephy/Jen Z vs Reina/Wrecking Ball was perfectly fine wrestling. That inverted piledriver Wrecking Ball to Stephy looked killer. The Chainsaw backstage tantrum was interesting as it looks like her sister may be losing some power. And poor Foxxy lol Nice promo for Rebel Haze. Smart to have her debut against Holidead who is always solid and cool to hear Fury on commentary too. I could see her and Fury as potential partners. As much as AJ is missed, trading her for increased talk time for the roster is a win. McLane and Lana remain my favorite pair of frienemies. Glad that they didn’t drag out the Lana steals the belt thing. And I’m digging the increase in backstage promos. Hope we get more of the Team Spirit/Brat Pack feud. There was some decent stuff in this match and I really liked the back flip neckbreaker by Ariel. Main Event was getting good before it dissolved into chaos (no pun intended lol) Looking like a four corners tag match is in our future.

Nice competitive match between Toni and Keira. I had expected a squash so this was a pleasant surprise. "Timeless" Toni is truly the best Toni.

Liked that we started with the contract signing. I'm digging WOW shifting from their usual format. The Beast had a nice win over Chainsaw. Good match between Tiki and GI Jane. Always good to see Tiki take a win. Definitely digging Ice Cold's new look and interesting friction between her and Exile. Guess Levi is no longer World's greatest distraction lol Nice double team stuff from Exile. Guessing Americana and Jessie are headed to splitsville lol Tormenta coming out with the mariachi band was awesome. lol The main was great and so happy for Aussie

Great main event on Rampage between Ruby and Shida. While Shida was always the more logical choice for Saraya's opponent, there were some moments where I thought that Ruby had a chance.

Great main event. Really enjoy the chemistry between Gisele and Trinity. Also nice post match antics with the set-up for Mickie's challenge at Bound for Glory.

Nice switch up with the Tonga Twins promo open and leading to the tag match. Aussie/Holidead was pretty good. Liked that it played with the previous bad blood between them. Nice rebound win for Aussie. Definitely looking forward to the Tormenta/Aussie/Penelope match. The Katarina Jinx promo was the campy fun I expect from WOW. More of that, please. Jinx looked good against Krush who appears more confident and comfortable already this season. Dug the transition into the finisher. Coach/BK was another good match. Love that BK is back as our favorite irritant and she makes a nice team with Gigi if we have to lose Robbie. Ariel being on the phone while Coach gets her ass kicked was lol Nice to see Sweet Heat return to the booth for the main. Main was short but lots of action in that amount of time. Enjoyed the ending brawl with the surprise arrival of the Mother Truckers, who I assumed wouldn't be back based on Holly J's recent WWE try out.

Really enjoyed the 10 Knockouts tag. Throughout its many twists and turns, The Knockouts have remained a mostly solid constant in TNA/Impact. Was great to see faces of the past mix it up with the current roster. And good to see that retirement has not stopped Gail Kim from being willing to die for our sins. They were tossing her around pretty good out there lol Mickie slipping a quick look at the title towards the end looks to set up Trinity's next opponent.

Sad to see Emma released yet again after a truly lackluster stint. The WWE never really tapped into the potential that Impact did. She was hilarious as Tenille. Always liked Leon and Feroz and thought they had tons of potential as fiery babyfaces. So, it sucks to see her go too.

People are saying that she is listing herself as a "former pro wrestler" on social media so she might be done. As far as the episode: Glad to see Gambino return. Nice competitive match between her and Jen-Z. I've always liked Fury so it's cool to see her in full face mode. I knew her and Tormenta would turn up and I wasn't wrong. Really smart move to start the season with so many of the stronger in-ring wrestlers. Nice to see more of Spring Break 24/7. They actually make perfect rivals for Sweet Heat, who looked good and dominant here. Speaking of which, Sweet Heat are a hilarious hot mess. You can tell that they are having a ball. Enjoyed the main. Chantilly looked really good here and Penelope impressed as always. Another strong defense on the heels of the great Aussie match. I like that you can tell that the women are more comfortable and feeling their characters more already this season.

Main event of Rampage was definitely the best Jade match yet. Nice back and forth with her and Stat. Stat has had some good moments with Britt in the past so this upcoming match should be good.

Enjoyed the contract signing antics. Nice to see some heat getting added to the Knockouts title match.

It was short and sweet but I dug everything about Sakura vs Stat. Emi never fails to elevate any match that she's in.

They've been ripping her apart on Twitter. Admittedly many seem like newer fans not familiar with her initial run.

Trish/Becky was definitely match of the night. Kudos to all involved and great redemption for Trish.

Enjoyed the women's trios match. Toni Storm is totally playing the part of Gretchen Wieners and I'm here for it. Also enjoy the blink and you miss it tension between Shida and Britt that's been teased on the last couple of shows. Doubt it leads anywhere but I like that we're getting at least a little complexity.

Solid opener with Chantilly vs Tormenta. Tormenta typically has good chemistry with most of her opponents. Pleasantly surprised at the upset win for Chantilly. The impromptu Randi/Gigi match was interesting with the missing members of Team Spirit, which seemed rather weird. I do like the Brat Pack though and would have enjoyed the original trios match planned. Glad to see the Mother Truckers/Sophia Lopez storyline progress. I’m sure we’ll see more between these five. Great main event. Penelope and Aussie had a really good showing. Liked the near falls and teases. And nice to see the Beast show up at the end to stake her claim.
