The top trending topic of the Don West list this week is Lei Ying Lee vs. Dani Luna at Genesis this Friday.
Gia Miller interviewed Dezmond Xavier. She said a lot has happened since he disappeared in 2020. He said he went to another universe. For the first time ever, all four Rascalz are together. Xavier said this is the happiest he has been in a very long time, seeing all of them travel together and clowning around together they did when they started in Dayton. He said they are a living TV show and it's entertaining and heart-warming. He said these are great moments you don't get to have when you are so busy being adults. When you can spend time with your brothers at work, it's the best. She said seeing them all together again is great and never feels dragged out. He said having friendships that last through the trials and tribulations of life are important and if you get through that, you can get through anything together. They all started as rivals and connected because of their passion for pro wrestling. It's really special. They talked playing games when you need to turn off the wrestling brain.
They recapped TNA Impact from last week.
CW & Brock Anderson vs. Sinner and Saint
Judas Icarus started off with CW Anderson. Anderson was taken down by Travis Williams after a tag but kicked out. CW prevented a tag but Brock Anderson nailed Williams to break up his momentum. Williams was sent into the corner, where Brock nailed him as the referee was distracted. The Andersons tagged in and out, working him over in their corner. The Andersons worked over Williams' arm and shoulder, focusing on the extremities, as they traditionally do. Williams went for a sunset flip but CW caught him and cinched in an armbar. The Andersons continued to cut off the ring and beat down Williams.
Williams finally escaped Brock's onslaught and nailed a leaping kick. CW and Icarus tagged in. Icarus cleaned house on both and nailed a slam into a powerbomb for a two count on CW, but Brock broke it up. Icasrus nailed Brock but was caught with a low clothesline by CW. Williams tagged in and spun with a chop. He went for a cartwheel clothesline but CW ducked. Brock was taken out. Icarus nailed a DDT variation. He drilled CW in the corner. They double-teamed CW and scored the pin.
Your winners, Sinner & Saint!
