6/6 TNA Against All Odds Results – We are live from the Mullett Arena in Tempe, Arizona, ready for TNA Against All Odds event.
Pre Show:
The Elegance Brand v. Harley Hudson, Myla Grace and Xia Brookside (5:11)
Hudson got worked over by the Elegance Brand. Hudson reversed a suplex and got the tag to Brookside. Brookside gave Ash a neckbreaker which caused her to DDT one of her partners. Ash took Hudson down with a meteora that bent her backwards. The “Personal Consigere” of the Elegance Brand hit Grace with a trident (this is not a typo, the guy had a trident), and Ash got the pinfall.
After the match, “The IInspiration” (formerly the IIconics, Jessie McCay and Cassie Lee)) returned to TNA, and they made the “we want the belts” motion.
–Tasha Steele was in the back calling for someone to help her deal with Mustafa Ali
– Steph De Lander interrupted the commentators from pitching to a package about the match for the “Director of Authority” to taunt Steve Maclin on behalf of Mance Warner.
– Santino Marella and Arianna Grace came out to cut a promo about his match with Robert Stone. Stone came out with Alicia Fox and Tessa Blanchard to respond, promising to make Arianna Grace “his maid” after he wins. I’m 100% convinced Grace will cost her father the match. Matt Cardona then interrupted to remind everyone that he’s a free agent, and as “per TNA management” he will be the special referee for the Stone/Marella match. Also, Stone “forgot to read the tiny little print in the contract” and the Cobra is legal for tonight. Also, Stone has a plastic sheriff’s badge on the really complete bush league look of things.
– A promo for the Trick Williams/Elijah TNA World title match. Tom Hannifan promised he’ll try to be impartial but they want Elijah to bring the TNA World Title “home” to TNA.
Main Show: The show open with an unironic promo about a guy who spent years in WWE bringing back trying to bring back the World Title to TNA.
Tom Hannifan and Matt Rehwoldt were on commentary.
Steve Maclin defeated Mance Warner( w/ Steph De Lander) for the TNA International Championship (9:40)
Before the match they show the match “headlines” which give a bit of the backstory for the match. Maclin hit a slow tope through the bottom two ropes on the floor, and this elicited a “TNA!” chant from the crowd. Maclin hit Warner with the Cactus Jack elbow on the floor. The crowd chanted “One mroe time!” so Maclin obliged. Maclin tried setting up an outside-into the ring superplex, but De Lander tripped him up in the ropes.
Back in the ring, Warner and Maclin exchanged heavy blows. Warner hit a spinebuster for a near fall. Maclin came back with a clothesline. Warner hit a Thez Press and an Angle Slam. Another clothesline got a near fall. Maclin tied Warner to the tree of woe, but Warner dodged the attack and hit Warner with a boot on the floor. Warner followed up with a neckbreaker on the floor. In the ring, Warner hit a short driving bulldog for a near fall.
The fight went out to the apron, and Maclin dropped Warner with a Death Valley Driver “on the hardest part of the ring!” De Lander distracted Maclin as he went to the top, allowing Warner to crotch him. Warner then hit a top rope superplex. Warner hit a running knee strike for two. The crowd got behind Maclin while Warner took him down with a torando DDT for another near fall. Warner and Maclin started exchanging strikes in the ring, then boots, then clotheslines. Finally a double clothesline dropped them both. Maclin tied Warner up in the Tree of Woe, he a spear, then hit him with a leaping double arm DDT to retain the title.
– Elijah promised to bring the TNA Title “home.”
Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Leon Slater & “The Home Town Man” defeated The System (JDC, Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards and Moose) (w/ Alisha Edwards) (12:36)
“The Home Town Man” is a poorly disguised Cody Deener, which the commentators openly acknowledged. The Hardys are still over. JDC got worked over in the babyface corner. The Home Town Man got a tag and the crowd chanted “Home Town Man!” Deener dominated Eddie Edwards with a bulldog and puches in the corner. The Home Town Man hit the sliced bread and soon all eight men were brawling. The babyface tossed all the members of The System to the floor.
Moose got the tag and put The Home Town Man down with a big boot. The Home Town Man got the tag to Jeff Hardy, who dropped an elbow for a near fall. Edwards blocked a Twist of Fate attempt and got the tag to JDC. Jeff Hardy got worked over by the heels while the crowd chanted for the Home Town Man. Jeff Hardy hit the Whisper in the Wing on Myers and JDC, then got the tag to Matt.
Matt Hardy beat back Moose in the corner and him a tornado DDT out of the corner. The Hardy double-teamed Moose and Leon Slater followed up with a top rope splash. The System ganged up on Matt Hardy for a near fall, broken up by the Home Town Man. The Home Town Man took out Moose with a dive on the floor. Back in the ring, The Hardys and Slatler hit Twists of Fate on the remaining members of the System. On the floor, Moose powerbombed The Home Town Man on the ring apron, but Hardy came out and caught him with a dive. Jeff tossed Moose back in the ring, and Staler and Hardy triple-teamed him. Jeff hardy hit the Swanton Bomb. Slater missed a 450, but landed on his feet, then turned around and took out everyone on the floor with a flip dive over the top turnbuckle.

– The Bioflex injury report: Tessa Blanchard and Rosemary are injured, but Santino Marella and Robert Stone passed their physicals.
Mustafa Ali (w/ John Skyler and Tasha Steele) defeated Jason Hotch (about 13:45)
Skyler was on commentary for the match. Some tremendous mat wrestling to start. Hotch hit Ali with a dropkick that sent him to the floor. Hotch went for a springboard dive to the floor, but Ali grabbed him basically in mid-air and German suplexed him on the apron. Ali then gave him a spinning backbeaker against the ring apron and Hotch landed on his head and neck in an ugly way. Back in the ring, Ali hit a running hangman’s neckbreaker for a near fall. Ali stops himself from using a fist (there is a “gentleman’s agreement” in place) but chopped him hard in the chest.
Ali went for another chop, but Hotch countered the chop with some “small joint manipulation,” then hit a tornado DDT from the middle rope to the floor. Back in the ring, Hotch hit a top rope crossbody for a near fall. Hotch hit a Spanish Fly for a near fall. Ali tripped Hotch into the ropes in front of Tasha Steele. Ali was looking for Steele to help him out, but she didn’t. Ali stalked Steele around ringside, and she left. This gave Hotch the opportunity to hit a top rope plancha on the floor.
Back in the ring, Hotch hit a frog splash for a near fall. Hotch hit a spinning Falcon Arrow for another near fall. Ali escaped a powerbomb, but so did Hotch, who followed up with a clothesline. Hotch with a double stomp for another near fall. Ali hit a springboard tornado DDT, then came off the top with a 450 splash for a sure pin… but pulled Hotch up after 2.
This brought John Skyler off of commentary to tell Ali to stop screwing around. But the crowd chanted “One More Time” so Ali went up again and went for another 450. But, Hotch got his knees up and small packaged Ali for two. Hotch charged into a belly-to-belly suplex into the turnbuckles. Ali hi another 450 to the back of Hotch, and this time didn’t pull him up.
After the match, John Skyler went to help Hotch up, but Ali kicked his hand away. He made Hotch get to his feet himself. Ali offered Hotch a handshake, but when Hotch went to accept, he walked away from him.
My read on Ali is he’s trying to work on character stuff to prove himself to WWE and go back there.
– Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee are back in TNA and they’re back to “inspire.”
– Last Tuesday on NXT, Mike Santana couldn’t beat Trick Williams for the TNA title because KC Navaro and AJ Francis interfered in a “first class betrayal.”
The First Class Penthouse with AJ Francis and KC Navaro:
This was a lot of talking. Francis and Navaro shouted about their issues with Mike Sanatna whil the crowd tried to boo them down. Francis thought Santana wasn’t here, but he came through the crowd to get at Francis and Navaro. Santana fought through the security Francis brought with him (their shirts said “Security” so you know they were legit). Francis sacrificed Narvaro, who was put through a table by Santana. Francis then broke a champagne glass over Santana’s head, and drug Navaro away.
Masha Slamovich defeated Lei Ying Lee to retain the TNA Knockouts Championship (12:50)
Indi Hartwell joined the commentary team for this match, and she said that she grew up watching TNA in Austraila and her dream was always to be a “TNA Knockout.”

Lee countered, put Slamovitch in a overhead backbreaker walked up the ring steps and dumped Slamovitch to the floor. Back in the ring, Lee hit a 360 swinging neckbreaker for a near fall. Slamovitch tried to fight back, but Lee countered with a jacknife cover for a near fall. Lee tripped up Slamovitch and hit her with a draping DDT on the floor.
Back in the ring, the match devolved into a slugfest. Lee ducked a spinning kick from Slamovitch and hit one of her own. There was contrived spot where Lee sat on the top turnbucle, then “pulled up” Slamovitch for something like a face first suplex, but Slamovitch countered and it ended up as a hurricanrana off the top.

Frankie Kazarian defeated Joe Hendry (12:42)
The commentators put over how improtant a TNA champion Henrdy is by virute of taking the TNA title to the Royal Rumble (where he was tossed out in five minutes) and WrestleMania (where he was jobbed out in three minutes).
Hendry started out fast with punches and chops, overwhelming Kazarian. Kazarian bumped all over the place for Hendry. Hendry slammed Kazarian on the floor. Back in the ring, Henrdy caught Kazarian with a fall-away slam. Kazarian escaped Hendry’s “Standing Ovation” with a thumb to the eye, then clipped Hendry’s knee.

Hendry hit an Olympic Slam for another near. Henrdy went for a standing ovation, but Kazarian countered with a Sister Abigal for a near fall. Kazarian caught Hendry with a chicken-wing and almost got the ref stoppage, but Hendry fought back. Kazarian clipped Hendry in the knee and rolled him up with his feet on the ropes to get the pinfall. The crowd was totally behind Hendry, I have no idea why they jobbed him here. I was expecting some kind of Dusty Finish here, but Kazarian called Hendry a loser again after the match and ran to the back.
– In the back, Robert Stone paid off the referee in his match tonight, Matt Cardona.
Nic and Ryan Nemeth v. The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) for the TNA Tag Team Championship
Ryan whipped Wentz into a knee from Nic, and then Nic followed up with a superkick in the floor. The Nemeths worked over Wentz in their corner. Actually the best part of this match was Rehwoldt’s over the top praise of the Nemeths. Miguel lead the crowd in a “He’s adopted!” chant aimed at Ryan Nemeth, and Rehwoldt assured he’d seen both photo albums and Ryan’s birth certificate. Ryan cut off a hot tag for Wentz by pulling Miguel to the floor.

Santino Marella (w/ Arianna Grace) defeated Robert Stone (w/ Tessa Blanchard & Victoria Crawford) v. for the title of “TNA Director of Authority” with special referee Matt Cardona (9:47)
The toy sheriff’s badge that Robert Stone was running around with represents the “TNA Director of Authority” since Cardona held it up at the start of the match, and then presented it to both guys like the ref would a championship belt in a title match.
Cardona found brass knuckles on Stone during the pat down. Santino then offered up a pipe he snuck into the his tights before Cardona can pat him down. That was a funny spot.
Marella took Stone down to the mat early. The fight went out to the floor and into the crowd, and Marella crotched Stone onto a ring barricade. When the fight gets back to the ring, Blanchard and Crawford tripped up Marella so Stone could get the advantage. Crawford and Blanchard attacked Marella from the floor whenever Cardona’s back was turned and it did get great hit. The crowd even chanted “Ref you suck!” at Cardona.
Stone dropped an elbow off the middle rope for two. Marella escaped a chinlock with a back suplex, then hit a pair of vertical suplexes. Santino pulled out the Cobra, but Tessa Blanchard took it from him and ran up the ramp. This distraction allowed Stone to roll up Marella. Stone’s feet were on the ropes, so Cardona refused to count. This lead to a shoving match between Stone and Cardona, and Marella got a near fall off of that.
Blanchard tried to slip Stone the badge, but Cardona wouldn’t let him use it. But this distraction allowed Crawford to hit Maralla with an axe kick, and Stone got a near fall off of that. Santino started to come back, but Crawford and Blanchard distracted the ref again and Stone hit a low blow for another near fall. Stone went up to the top for something, and Arianna Grace tried to pull Stone off, but had trouble with her top so it took her three tries to get it done. Arianna then gave her father a “back-up” Corbra. Santino hit the Cobra on Stone to win the match and the toy sheriff’s badge.
The crowd chanted “You still got it!” for Santino. Santino thanked the fans for their support.
Trick Williams defeated Elijah for the TNA Championship (16:18)
TNA’s great defender here, Elijah, has been in the company for four months after being in WWE for 10 years. While the crowd is chanting “Whoop that Trick” for Williams, Tom Hannifan went on an indignant rant about how Williams didn’t come to work after winning the TNA title, but Kenny Omega and Christian Cage (the AEW guys that won the TNA title) did.
Elijah beat up Williams around the ring arpon while the crowd chanted “What’s Up?” and “We want Truth!” Members of the TNA roster were shown watching the match in the back.

Elijah got the guitar and threatened to hit Williams, but this was just a distraction for Francis to feed Williams the title belt. Williams hit Elijah with the title belt and got a near fall. Williams sent Elijah into an exposed turnbuckle, then hit the Trick Shot (a running knee) and got the pinfall.
