Welcome to IMPACT! Wrestling vs The UK, live from MediaCon 2018 and only on Twitch.tv!

Sonjay Dutt and Andy Boy Simmons are on commentary from Manchester, England, and they run down the card to start.

Both men joke that they’re more of a color commentator, and theres audio and video issues to start, hopefully nothing that keeps happening throughout the show.

Match One, X-Division Triple Threat Match: Trevor Lee vs. Rich Swann vs. Matt Sydal

I’m going to keep up with this the best I can, but it’s going to get crazy!! On top of the fast action, Twitch keeps playing ads about every minute, so I hope that doesn’t interfere too much (but it will)

Smoke has filled the arena from Sydal’s entrance, making for an interesting visual with the lighting…

All three men jaw with each other to start. Swann starts dancing, Sydal starts with kicks to everyone. Swann of Sedan’s back and hits a hurricanrana on Lee. Dropkick to Sydal sends him to the outside. Corner punches from Swann to Sydal, big right to Lee knocks him off the apron, Sydal rolls Swann up for 2. Snapmare to a kick from Sydal to Swann, pin for 2 and a Twitch ad…

Sydal with a submission on Swann, hits a vertical suplex on Lee as well, and then Lee breaks up the submission. Lee pins Swann for 2. Hard buckle whip and Lee pins Swann for 2. Lee in full control of Swann, stomping his fingers and short forearms to the back. Sedan goes for a tilt a whirl, Swann reverses into a head scissor take down. Swann hits a flipping topei con hilo to both men on the floor.

Sydal goes under the ring and hits Swann with a chair in view of nobody. Back in and Lee hits a back breaker on Sydal for 2. Punch and kick exchange, and Sydal takes control with a head kick. Sydal hits a spinning neck breaker on Lee but the pin was broken up but Swann. Swann with a rana on Sydal, then an enziguri to Lee in the corner. Followed by one on the top rope, and a hurricanrana off the top gets a 2 count. Sedan in and throws Swann to the floor. Lee drops Sydal into the turnbuckle.

Lee with a big slam on Sydal, Swann then hits a super kick, rolls him up and a Twitch ad plays… really bad timing there!!

Apparently, that roll up got the 1-2-3. Nice of Twitch to let the pinfall play…

Your Winner: Rich Swann

Swann then flips off the crowd after the win and taunts them all on his way out to cheers

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 5.14.2026

Can Cedric Alexander stop Leon Slater from breaking Austin Aries longest X Division title reign record?

Andrew Balaz

Today is a live TNA iMPACT! And by now we all know my stance, I want to see Leon Slater lose in glorious fashion. I do not like him in the least, he’s Flip Gordon with melanin and less speaking ability. People that glaze him are just towing the company line, he ain’t anything interesting. Man’s not hot.

But a less fan charged intro would really be a small concern. Last week was their lowest viewership since the move to AMC, and they always tend to be more miss than hit with their live iMPACTs lately. So this should be interesting to see if it’s a giant mess and if the dip was only because of playoff NHL and NBA games or a deeper issue.

Ratings:

#1 Contender Battle Royal: Eric Young, last eliminating Elijah – ** 1/2

Victoria Crawford & Mila Moore w/Tessa Blanchard vs Allie & Rosemary w/Mara Sade: Rosemary wins via As Above, So Below – ***
X Division Championship: 2 out of 3 Falls Match: Leon Slater (c) vs Cedric Alexander: Cedric wins 2-1 via Lumbar Checks – **** 1/2 – TITLE CHANGE!!!

Results:

#1 Contender Battle Royal

Mustafa Saed is a nice surprise entrant.

After I think 16 years, Mustafa brings weapons, cracks Bear Bronson with the trash can, clears a few people and then goes toe to toe with Agent Zero. Aww, Zero eliminates Mustafa after a Headbutt. Dutch and Zero square off, Dutch hits Death Walks but both get eliminated together. Mr. Elegance eliminates BDE, Hometown Man takes out Elegance, Myers gets eliminated by HTM when he tried too hard. Hotch saves himself, runs along the backs of eliminate people like he’s Mario but gets clocked by Elijah. Vincent and Hotch get eliminated, HTM does 10 Count Punches like a doofus on Kaz, so he just shoves him out.

Kaz gets eliminated getting whipped over the corner, he tries to hold Elijah for The System, they charge Elijah but Elijah ducks it and Eddie and Bear get eliminated. Eric Young and Elijah are the last two, both going over the top but holding on to brawl on the apron. Chops, Kicks, EY hits his new favorite move the Back Kick to the Dick. Elijah crashes to the mat and Eric Young wins the Battle Royal.

Lei Ying Lee comes out, has a nice moment that of course gets ruined by Xia Brookside interrupting. Lei yells at her in Chinese, Xia tells her to figure out how to speak to her dumbass fans, she won’t translate anymore. Xia is doing really well being an easily hated heel with the racist and the insults to the American crowds feel even better since she’s British. Good stuff actually.

Keith Jardine is there to plug his new movie that paid for an ad. Gia interviews him and the Elegance losers come out to show him what a “real man” looks like. This…is dumb…it’s cringe forced confrontation/comedy. That was awful.

Sac Town Street Fight: AJ Francis vs KC Navarro

TNA got Chris Caray, Harry Caray’s grandson to do guest play-by-play. The tie in is that he’s the Oakland Athletics’ play-by-play guy. He did bring a helmet and baseball bat, so I’m assuming those will be used at some point. Hopefully by KC.

KC looks serious as a heart attack stalking down the ramp. He baits AJ into a charge, Drop Toe Hold into the apron, Apron Slide Tiger Feint! KC tries to grab the table, but AJ isn’t injured enough so AJ clobbers him and then slides the table back under. AJ wants an early Down Payment, but KC fights through, tries a Frankensteiner, AJ tries to turn it into a Styles Clash but KC gets out of it. 305 hit by KC, he goes for the Suicida, AJ catches him, but KC turns it into a Satellite DDT and gets the table. AJ throws KC into the steps before KC can keep his momentum going. AJ looks for a Down Payment through the table, KC gets away, CHAIRSHOT. KC shoves AJ into the steps and he’s in control going to commercial.

A second table gets added to the mix by KC, AJ rolls back into the ring and cuts off KC. Starts choking him with the steel chair, wedges it in the corner, and Tennessee Whiskey with a metal taste. AJ is handling KC on the outside, KC tries to fight back but AJ Bear Hugs him and then spine into the apron. AJ is carrying KC over his shoulder like a bag of trash. AJ then Lawn Darts KC into the post and finally decides to talk shit to Chris Caray. AJ takes the bat from Chris, lines up KC…but KC ducks, then jumps over the second swing and shoves AJ into the steps. KC grabs the bat, asks for the helmet, and bat to the gut, then back, KC with the bat from the middle rope! He sees the trash can, wedges it, Home Run, into a slide into the can between AJ’s legs! The referee calls safe! Rocker Dropper from KC for a two count! Can crowns AJ the king of the weak, bat connects with the can! KC fishes for a bunch of chairs. KC sets up chairs, AJ tries the Down Payment to counter but KC counters the Down Payment into a cutter through the chairs! 1-2-nope! AJ kicks out!

AJ manages to stop KC’s momentum, grabs him and decides to hit the Down Payment, but chucks him out of the ring through the two tables! AJ rolls KC back in, and AJ sadly wins. Really solid match, disappointing finish, but hopefully it goes somewhere.

Mike Santana comes out, makes a fairly generic but good energy promo. Daria cuts him off when he starts talking about Eric Young as the next challenger, but Daria says that since it was a referee stoppage, he never beat Steve Maclin So there will be a rematch next week for the TNA World Title. Santino comes out to basically say he agrees with Daria’s match, but also announces Indi Hartwell re-signed with TNA.

Victoria Crawford & Mila Moore w/Tessa Blanchard vs Allie & Rosemary w/Mara Sade

Rosemary goes a-biting on Mila, Allie comes in and looks great. A skipping Knee Lift, great sliding Forearm, really crisp offense. Damn, Allie has been quite nice in the ring in her return. Tessa interferes and allows Mila to trip up Allie and get control. Vix tags in and she starts tossing Allie around with the Hair Throws. Allie keeps on her, slams her down, kicks her, a few near falls and then tags Mila back in. Allie eats a double kick and crumples. Quick tags from the Diamond Collective, but Allie gets a little space off a Knee Lift, Twisting Neckbreaker and simultaneous tags. Vix and Rosemary go off, Rosemary Slingblades Vix into tomorrow, Lariat, Hip Attack, Exploder Suplex and Scorpion Death Drop for a two count! Mila gets in to gang up, but Rosemary fights them off and we get stereo Upside Downs! Tessa tries to get involved but Mara takes out Tessa! Allie continues to beat down Mila, Spicolli Driver on the floor!

Back in the ring, Rosemary hits As Above, So Below for the win!

There’s a Broken Promo, the monsters are out of the cage. Damascus has been unlocked! The Nefarious Brother Nero! Hopefully they bring back Smokin’ Joe the Kangaroo.

X Division Championship: 2 out of 3 Falls Match: Leon Slater (c) vs Cedric Alexander

Hockey fight into dueling Shoulder Tackles, Roll through cradle, Leon tries the Styles Clash, but Cedric gets away from it, tries the Lumbar Check but Leon hits the flash Cradle and gets the first pinfall! Leon 1-0

We go to commercial after the pinfall. Coming back Cedric hits the Snap German on the floor and we see Cedric roll in and then back out to collect Leon. X-Plex onto the Apron, as Cedric wipes his balls with a sign he doesn’t like and they head inside the ring. Hard Irish Whip, Leon is upside down in the corner. Backbreaker for fun, and then they trade strikes. Jawjacker from Leon, Lariats drop Cedric, Cedric retreats to the corner and eats a Yakuza kick!

After the match Fabian Aichner’s music hits and he stakes his claim I suppose? Who asked for him? The coldest free agent on the market.

Overall Score: 7.75/10

Aside from the Elegance Brand existing, this was a really good episode. Santino and Daria are hilarious, Xia and Lei are great, none of the matches were bad, Cedric stopped the Leon hype train! Broken Hardys were something people loved, after they understood it, KC looked great in the loss, Mustafa Saed was a really nice random pop and I’m still hella impressed with Allie. She used to be just a pretty face who even when her gimmick wasn’t clueless and happy to be there, she still kinda used to suck. But she’s come back with such a good intensity and crispness, I really am a fan of her for more than just aesthetics. I would definitely get behind a legit Allie push for the Knockouts title again.

Also, now The System holds Tags and X Division titles, only 2 others left. Do they get the clean sweep from the male side? Oh and yes, no one cares about Fabian Aichner, stop it. But the episode in general was the best of the year, just damn.
