I know they aren't officially TNA yet but given that the venues in the UK were listing their tour last week as "TNA Impact Wrestling", what the hell!
The main event of this week's Impact Wrestling on AXS will be The Motor City Machine Guns vs. Eric Young & Josh Alexander. Also on the show will be Grado vs. Trey Miguel, Trinity and more.
To a person we spoke with, there were raves about the UK tour last week with packed venues for the promotion. Lots of TNA chants every night, which those in the company felt proved the point that the TNA name meant more overseas, one of the reasons they finally flipped the switched back.
One talent we spoke to felt the backstage morale has been the highest since they joined the company and the highest in many years. There is a lot of excitement internally about the new year once they return in January post-new production studio being put together.
There were over 160 local talents who went through the Gutcheck challenge last week. Harley Hudson won the competition:

Everyone we spoke to from the tour put over the silly fun of the dance party that closed the tour's final night in Coventry:
