The TNA Final Resolution event delivered a night of surprises and intense action, but did it live up to the hype? Let's dive into the results and find out!
The Main Event: A Title Showdown
The highly anticipated main event featured a battle for the TNA World Championship between Frankie Kazarian and JDC. Kazarian, arriving in style, faced off against JDC, who was accompanied by The System. The match was a hard-fought affair, with Kazarian narrowly escaping defeat after JDC accidentally hit the referee. In a controversial finish, Kazarian retained the title, leaving the crowd divided.
Controversy in the Ring: A Questionable Outcome
But here's where it gets controversial. In the X Division Title match, Leon Slater defended his title against AJ Francis. The match was intense, with Slater overcoming a slow start to deliver a thrilling final few minutes. However, the outcome was questionable as Francis hit Slater with the title belt, but the referee didn't see it, allowing Slater to capitalize and retain the title. Was this a fair decision, or should the match have been restarted?
The Rise of NXT: A New Era?
The show concluded with a chaotic angle as the NXT guys stormed the ring, led by Lexis King. King sprayed lighter fluid on the TNA logo, but the TNA locker room fought back, including a shocking moment where Stacks struck his future son-in-law, Santino Marella. The invasion angle left fans wondering if this was the start of a new era in TNA, with NXT talent taking center stage. But was it enough to save the show from being overshadowed by ROH?
The Pre-Show: Setting the Stage
The pre-show kicked off with a solid match between Eric Young and Cedric Alexander, with Alexander emerging victorious. Backstage, Leon Slater was interviewed, expressing his disrespect towards AJ Francis. The System, without JDC, issued an open challenge, which was answered by CW Anderson, Brock Anderson, and Bear Bronson. The match was a great showcase for Bronson, who has been on a roll lately. The System ultimately prevailed, setting the stage for the main event.
Knockouts Division: A New Champion?
In the Knockouts Division, Lei Ying Lee defended her title against Xia Brookside. The match was a technical showcase, with both competitors displaying their skills. Lee retained the title, but the real story came after the match when Dani Luna attacked Lee and Indi Hartwell. The rivalry between these Knockouts is heating up!
Tag Team Action: Hardys vs. NXT Duo
The Hardy Boys faced Tyriek Igwe and Tyson Dupont for the TNA Tag Team Titles. The match lacked the excitement expected from the Hardys, with the NXT duo failing to impress. The Hardys retained their titles, but the match left fans wanting more.
The Debut: The Righteous Arrive
The debut of The Righteous was highly anticipated, but the crowd's reaction was surprising. Dutch and Vincent entered the ring, but the crowd chanted, "Who are you?" Was this a sign of a lack of promotion, or are fans simply not invested in this new faction?
The Future: What's Next for TNA?
With the show concluding, TNA left fans with questions. Will the NXT invasion continue? Will The Righteous make an impact? And what's next for the Knockouts Division? The future of TNA is uncertain, but one thing is clear: the company needs to deliver more compelling storylines and matches to keep fans engaged.
