Who will fight the TNA World Champion?
Since beating Nic Nemeth for the TNA World Championship at Genesis, Joe Hendry has been enjoying his time as the top dog of a crowded division. Hendry has successfully defended his belt twice and opted to hold another mystery challenge without knowing who his next opponent is.
The confidence is surely at an all-time high for Joe Hendry, but will that come back to haunt him on tonight’s episode? TNA has a stacked roster filled with former world champions (Moose, Eddie Edwards, Nic Nemeth, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy), so who will step up and take on the Scotland native?
Last week, Cora Jade and Tessa Blanchard shocked the world by teaming together to beat down Masha Slamovich and Lei Ying Lee. Jade still has her title shot at Sacrifice and gets another chance to weaken the champion tonight as she’ll team with Blanchard to take on the Knockouts Champion and Lei Ying Lee. Slamovich is coming in with the mindset of revenge and promises to break her opponents in half. Will Slamovich’s emotions cloud her judgment and cost her and Lee their big match?
Also, Mike Santana and Mustafa Ali will meet for a special summit. The former X-Division Champion has been making this rivalry personal by exposing Santana’s past. The rising Impact star has been calm and cool over Ali’s antics, but he’s made it known that he wants to punch Impact’s favorite politician in the mouth. What other sleazy and political tactic will Mustafa Ali use tonight to get into the head of Santana? Or will the Brooklyn native shut his antics down with his fists?
