This TNA PLE was live from the CAA Centre in Brampton, Canada.
Mike Santana def. KC Navarro
Navarro took AJ Francis’ spot in the match due to an injury and took an early Three Amigos for Santana to get a near fall. Santana ran the ropes but Francis used his crutch to trip him up from his ringside position. Navarro hit a DDT to capitalise and take control. Santana made a comeback with the Rolling Buck 50 but only for a near fall. Navarro countered a Spin the Block attempt and raked the eyes to avoid the OIC. Navarro came down with a top-rope splash but couldn’t get the win. Santana then won with a successful Spin the Block.

Eddie Edwards def. Cody Deaner
Eddie distracted the referee early on, allowing Alisha Edwards to attack Deaner from ringside. Deaner hit a crossbody to ringside but Eddie swung control back in his favour with a Blue Thunder Bomb onto the apron. Deaner just made it back into the ring before being counted out. He was fired up and took the fight to Eddie. However, a Superplex and powerbomb from Eddie neutralised Deaner for a near fall. Eddie began arguing with a fan in the crowd, which let Deaner hit Sliced Bread to Eddie at ringside. Deaner then got a near fall off a crossbody. Alisha climbed up onto the apron and Eddie struck Deaner with The System ring. However, Deaner still managed to power out. At that moment, Alisha struck Deaner with a low blow and Eddie beat him with the Boston Knee Party. Thus marking the end of Cody Deaner’s TNA career.

The Northern Armory (Eric Young, Judas Icarus and Travis Williams) def. The System (Brian Myers, JDC and TNA X-Division Champion Moose)
This match came about after The System tried to run some salt into the wound of Cody Deaner only for The Northern Armory to come and make the save. Moose immediately called Young into the ring to stand face-to-face. Alisha Edwards was once again back on the apron, which allowed Myers to enter the ring illegally and swing momentum to his team. The System isolated the ring and used quick tags to keep Icarus down. Once the tag was made to Young, the pace quickened. Young then hit Moose with a top-rope crossbody. Icarus and Williams also hit Myers and JDC with dives to the ringside area. Young went for a top-rope elbow drop but couldn’t beat Moose. Moose then countered a Piledriver into a Spear but Icarus kept the match alive. Young bounced back and hit Moose with a Death Valley Driver. Alisha turned her attention to Hammer (the Brampton’s basketball team, the Honey Badgers, mascot) and attacked him with a kendo stick. To finish, Young hit the Piledriver on Moose successfully to pin the champion.

No Disqualification match: Ash by Elegance and Heather by Elegance (c) def. Spitfire (Dani Luna and Jody Threat) to retain the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship
If Spitfire do not capture the titles here tonight, they must disband. Early on, Heather sprayed hairspray into Threat’s eyes. However, Ash accidentally hit Heather with a hockey stick. Heather bounced back and got Luna with a DDT on the ramp but Threat sent Ash crashing through a pair steel chairs. Ash and Heather got threat in front of her parents at ringside and tortured her with a “makeover”. Ash caught Luna in the ropes but she broke free and hit a German suplex. Luna then hit Ash with a Blue Thunder Bomb onto a pile of steel chairs. The Personal Concierge used glitter to blind Threat. Ash meanwhile smashed a champagne bottle over Luna’s head. Threat got revenge on the Concierge by bodyslamming him at ringside. Heather stomped Threat’s face into a pile of rhinestones but Luna kept the match alive. Maggie Lee came down to run interference for the Elegance brand. This allowed Ash to put Luna through a table. She then hit Rarified Air on Threat to get the win. This meant Spitfire are now forced to disband.

Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, The Great Hands (Jason Hotch and John Skyler) and Tasha Steelz) def. Raj Singh, The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) and Indi Hartwell
It looked like The Rascalz and Hartwell might’ve been a man down after Ali took out Ace Austin but then Ali’s former ally, Raj Singh, made his return in his hometown. Singh took the fight to Ali to get the match started. Singh went low off the top-rope in a tribute to Team 3D. Ali and Hotch then took control with a double rolling neckbreaker to Singh. Hartwell took all her opponents out to up the pace. She hit Steelz with a Spinebuster but Ali kept the match alive. Wentz connected with a Spanish Fly to Hotch. Everyone got into the chaos as Hartwell and Steelz went for with a new level of aggression. Everyone went down and Hartwell hit Steelz with a cutter into the mess of bodies. Wentz flew to ringside with a Twisting Plancha. Then, Ali took out Hartwell with a baseball slide dropkick. Hotch and Skyler hit the favour on Singh and a 450 from Ali gave his team the win.

Tess Blanchard def. NXT’s Arianna Grace
Before the match, NXT’s Robert Stone banned Santino Marella from ringside because despite being the Director of Authority, he doesn’t have a manager’s licence. Blanchard connected early on with a slingshot crossbody for a near fall. Grace briefly took the advantage but Blanchard hit a cutter to stop that. However, Grace did comeback to hit a Superplex and got her own near fall. Finally, it was the Buzzsaw and the Magnum that gave Blanchard the win.
Squish’s rating: 3/10
Masha Slamovich (c) def. Victoria Crawford to retain the TNA Knockouts World Championship
Slamovich took the advantage early with a running clothesline to take down Crawford. NXT’s Robert Stone caused a distraction, which allowed Crawford to attack Slamovich from behind. He then interfered again and Crawford hit a Package Piledriver on Slamovich for a near fall. Slamovich accidentally took out the referee so Crawford hit Slamovich with the title. Slamovich bounced back and connected with the Snow Plow but there was nobody to count the pin. Finally, she dodged an Axe Kick and got the win with Requiem.
Squish’s rating: 4/10
The Nemeths (Nic Nemeth and Ryan Nemeth) (c) def. Leon Slater and Matt Hardy to retain the TNA World Tag Team Championship
Nic and Ryan isolated the ring early and trapped Slater. Fresh tags kept Slater from being able to fight out of the corner. Slater finally managed to create some separation but Ryan pulled Matt from the apron before Slater could get there to make the tag. Slater took out Ryan with a handspring back elbow and made the tag to Matt. Matt’s offence caused the pace to quicken. He sent Nic crashing into the ropes throat-first. Then, Nic and Ryan took a pair of Side Effects. Nic retaliated and hit a Famouser. Matt and Slater both put Nic down with the Plot Twist. Slater then went over and out to ringside with Big Play Slater. He was about to beat Nic off a Swanton 450 but Ryan stopped the referee from counting. Ryan then stopped Matt from restarting his offence, allowing Nic to hit the Danger Zone for the win.
Squish’s rating: 7/10
Elijah and TNA World Champion Joe Hendry def. Frankie Kazarian and NXT’s Trick Williams
This big main event acts as a sort of preview for Hendry and Williams’ TNA World Title match at NXT Battleground. Hendry and Williams teased facing off early but Kazarian tagged himself in instead. This led to an argument between Williams and Kazarian, which allowed Elijah to take advantage and knock them off the apron. Hendry went over the top-rope and crashed into both Williams and Kazarian at ringside. Hendry and Elijah sent Williams and Kazarian into the crowd and follow them to incite more of a brawl. Elijah went after Williams while Hendry hit Kazarian with a delayed vertical suplex. Back in the ring, Elijah tossed Kazarian across with a powerbomb. Hendry then came face-to-face with Williams and hit a Fallaway Slam. He followed up with an Olympic Slam but it wasn’t enough to get the win. Williams then got a near fall of his own off a Uranage. Kazarian followed up with a Backstabber and Slingshot Leg Drop to Hendry. Hendry hit Kazarian with an AA but only got another near fall. Williams nearly beat Elijah with the Trick Shot but Hendry kept the match alive. Then, Elijah hit the Highwayman’s Farewell on Kazarian but this time Williams made the save. After, Elijah was about to beat Kazarian but Williams distracted the referee. Williams accidentally took out Kazarian with a Trick Shot. This allowed Hendry to hit the Standing Ovation and get the win.
