(TGBH) Ay yo, what up with thee? The blog World order coming at ya en route to Cleveland, home of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, for TNA Rebellion. We are just a few days from Mania, and this is the time for other promotions to step up their game. TNA is on a rollercoaster of sorts, but I love it. The mayhem is what keeps me coming back, plus its always nice to have an alternative to the alternative. The gang’s all here, so we’re gonna predict some matches.
(PCM) Good and bad things are coming from TNA. Solid shows since the change to AMC; however, TNA has decided to pull some of their wrestlers from shows, yet they have an NXT wrestler as their KO champion. Make it make sense. However, let’s focus on the card and the load of great matches.
(DSS) And we’re back already for some TNA. I’m having a hard time with TNA lately, because I was excited for them to have a new TV deal. They’ve had a great partnership with WWE. Things were looking up. But TNA is gonna TNA and I haven’t been super impressed with the product, so my attention with them tends to drift. It is what it is, and I’ve still gotta talk about them.
(IG) I’m hoping my first timer luck kicks in with my predictions. I’m no TNA expert by any means, so we’re straight vibe picking this go around!
(TGBH) We’ve got alot to run through for this card and we are excited to get it, so lets get to it yall!!
PreGame w/bWo:
TNA Rebellion 2026
Frankie Kazarian vs. Elijah
(TGBH) With a stacked card like this, you gotta open the show with this one. Kazarian was just recently the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, and now he’s competing against a guy who thinks he’s Elias Samson. Elijah’s run in TNA will get him a higher place in the card soon, and Kazarian will be a great tune-up for the guy in the process. We may need a smashed guitar to get the crowd rolling, so I hope Kazarian is ready to take one for the team.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Elijah via Pinfall
PaperCip Mike’s Pick:
Frankie Kazarian via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Elijah via Pinfall
Ian G’s Pick:
Elijah via Pinfall
TNA International Championship Match
Trey Miguel(c) vs. Mustafa Ali
(PCM) Oh, we eating good here. Trey being welcomed back with open arms and putting on bangers on the daily. And if you listen to my latest appearance on the Dusty Finish, I said Ali was doing some of the best in his career in TNA. This has MOTN written all over it. If we let these men go, good luck trying to top this. That being said, I don’t see Trey dropping this just yet.
PaperCip Mike’s Pick:
Trey Miguel via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Mustafa Ali via Pinfall
Ian G’s Pick:
Trey Miguel via Pinfall
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Mustafa Ali via Pinfall
Moose vs. Special Agent Zero
(TGBH) We got two big dawgs stepping into the ring this Saturday ready to go to war. It’s not everyday you see someone tower up to Moose. Go back and watch their match in WPW from a few months ago, you’ll see these two brutes dishing some big strikes and fast offense. They’ve got something here with this one. Moose has been on a wrecking path since getting kicked from The System, but SA-Zero just may be what it takes to slow him down. Special Agent Zero has alot to gain here and will emerge victorious as he prepares to go on a wrecking path of his own.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Special Agent Zero via Pinfall
PaperCip Mike’s Pick:
Moose via pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Moose via pinfall
Ian G’s Pick:
Moose via Pinfall
TNA Knockouts World Championship Match
Arianna Grace(c) vs. Lei Ying Lee
(TGBH) The Arianna Grace project is working out well for TNA. The TNA Knockouts division holds so much promise and holds the key to eventually end Grace’s reign. Lei Ying Lee deserves the title and would be the champion if it weren’t for their partnership with the fed. But without that partnership, TNA may not have scored that TV deal. Lei Ying Lee has done more than prove she deserves her spot at the top of the Knockouts division and will continue to hover over the belt after Grace drops it. Grace finds a way to sneak a win here, in Graceful fashion.
(PCM) My prediction was wrong when I said Arianna Grace would drop the title. But, weirdly, her stay here as champ and the Birthright angle at NXT seem like two parallel stories as opposed to perpendicular. Lee is another on that list doing her career best here, so a lot of good stuff here. However, look for Grace to weasel her way to a title retaining.
(DSS) Arianna Grace being one of the highlights of TNA is funny, since she’s not even one of their talents. The NXTNA line seems blurred at times, and it always skews towards the NXT talent needing to take bigger roles in TNA. I don’t see Arianna Grace dropping the title quite yet, and I don’t see the Knockouts division being quite put together enough to give both companies a reason to put the strap back on a pure TNA talent.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Arianna Grace via Pinfall
PaperCip Mike’s Pick:
Arianna Grace via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Arianna Grace via Pinfall
Ian G’s Pick:
Arianna Grace via Pinfall
Nic Nemeth vs. AJ Francis
(TGBH) I am not caught up as to why these two are going at it but i’ll prob get to it after we post this. There is no going back! So let’s make a pick here based on what I do know. Nic Nemeth continues to show up in JCW, so im sure he’ll get a win or two there. However, if Francis doesn’t walk outta here the winner than he just comes off as an even bigger chump for picking on HomeTown Man. Besides, Francis has been putting in work and has been a reliable talent for the brand as they’ve built themselves back up. Let’s give him a win here over a former World Heavyweight champion.
Ian G’s Pick:
Nic Nemeth via Pinfall
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
AJ Francis via Pinfall
PaperCip Mike’s Pick:
Nic Nemeth via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
AJ Francis via Pinfall
TNA X Division Championship Match
Leon Slater(c) vs. Cedric Alexander
(DSS) Leon Slater has been a dominant champ, and it’s fair to say he’s done all he can with the X Division belt at this point. All great things come to an end, and that means Cedric Alexander is going to walk out with the X Division Championship. Not only does Leon Slater have the capability to take a loss and move on to bigger and better things, I think this is the shakeup that TNA needs to bring a breath of fresh air to their product.
(PCM) The reign is over. Slater has done an amazing job keeping the title relevant since he scooped it up. If he stays in TNA, he will definitely get it back. But it is Cedric’s night. I like the new System. And if they want to succeed like the first iteration did, you need gold. Cedric deserves this and has proven he can go hard. Time for him to prove it.
(TGBH) This isn’t the first time these two square off, and that’s what has me thinking. Slater has run through em and has now come back around to one of his earlier challengers. Alot has changed for Cedric Alexander, and with the System in his corner, Slater’s reign might be in trouble. Unless Slater can get on the phone with his cousin Heath, and then ask his cousin Heath to call Jinder, then Slater is on his own. The numbers dont lie, and they spell disaster for Leon Slater. The System needs some gold, and they’re not taking the World Title on this night. Slater’s reign will end as the second longest X Division Championship reign, still pretty historic of a run if you ask me. TNA needs to make some waves this Saturday, this is how you do it….THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Cedric Alexander via Pinfall
PaperCip Mike’s Pick:
Cedric Alexander via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Cedric Alexander via Pinfall
Ian G’s Pick:
Cedric Alexander via Pinfall
The Elegance Brand vs. Mickie James, ODB, and Taryn Terrell
(DSS) Mickie James making her return was nothing short of incredible. It’s great to see her getting into the ring again. We’ve got the disrespectful current generation vs. the legends that have paved the way for them, and it couldn’t be a better matchup. I want the Elegance Brand to win this, to keep them with momentum as they’re the ones who are going to be on the show week in and week out, but I could see a reality where the legends take the win in a feel-good moment.
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Mickie James and Co. via Pinfall
Ian G’s Pick:
The Elegance Brand via Pinfall
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Team OG TNA via Pinfall
PaperCip Mike’s Pick:
The Elegance Brand via Pinfall
TNA World Tag Team Championship Match
The Hardys(c) vs. The System
(TGBH) Shades would agree with me when I say enough is enough. The Hardys have held the belts long enough and it’s time to let someone else get the shine. Not to say Hardys can’t still go, cause they still can. But the difference maker here is Bear Bronson. Bear Bronson will prove to be a mountain The Hardys just cant conquer. Give the straps to The System for some fresh new matchups in the tag scene to be the fruit this tree drops.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
The System via Pinfall
PaperCip Mike’s Pick:
The Hardys via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
The System via Pinfall
Ian G’s Pick:
The System via Pinfall
TNA World Championship Match
Mike Santana(c) vs. Eddie Edwards
(TGBH) Santana looks good with the belt, and he’s looked even better defending it. I keep saying that Santana is the perfect guy to put at the top of the TNA ladder. If you take a step back and look at the line of potential challengers, you’ll see alot of future bangers for Santana. Eddie Edwards is a solid contender and has a solid squad behind him. In order for their new squad to thrive they’ll need some gold. The System will reign atop the X-Division and Tag Team Division, but Edwards wont be successful. I just get the feeling Moose might show up and cost Edwards the matchup here.
(PCM) This is another match that will slap very hard. Mike Santana has more than proven he can run with the ball when it is given. Eddie is in the same spot. Do I see Eddie as champ again? I do, but not tonight. TNA wanted to hitch their wagon to Santana, and he has given the respect back tenfold. I do not see the reign ending here. Gonna be a close match and a hell of a match, but gimme Mike Santana
(DSS) Mike Santana is in the middle of the title run he should have had the first time. I’m hesitant to say he could lose just because he deserves a truly impactful and dominant run as the World Champ after his failure of a first rain. Yes, Eddie Edwards could be a champ. Yes, other people could run at the top of the division. And yes, TNA does need to mix things up. But not at the expense of their top dog Mike Santana. He walks out the champ, and Eddie will get another shot later. Let Santana do his thing a little longer.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Eddie Edwards via DQ
PaperCip Mike’s Pick:
Mike Santana via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Mike Santana via Pinfall
Ian G’s Pick:
Eddie Edwards via Pinfall
